Moscow paves When seen Saturday
he said: 81 have lived in towns that
have paved and l have seen the bene-
fits that follow paved streets. Better
streets have made better towns, and
town in the country; it will go ahead.
If the paving fails Moscow will stand
still, and l will not invest my money in

The City's Indebtedness.

In paragraph IS, after juggling with
the figures of the city's bonded in
debtedness the Taxpayers League
have figured out btahomhlua
have figured the total Indebtedness
at $339,752. On the basis of a supposed
valuation of 100000 they figure that
we are going to bond ourselves for
4s per cent of the assessed valuation
of the city. This is certainly brief
excursion in ''frenzied finance" The
facts are these: Our present city
valuation is $1,785.14S, the city's pres
ent bonded Indebtedness is $4,000.

that pavements will be slippery, and
not furnish good footing for horses.

not of all. Fortunately Slippery

third paragraph, which says the city
ordinance provides for issuing $30,75:
of bonds This is false as only $4,000
of bonds are provided for in the ordi-
nance, and the amount to be issued
will be less than this amount in just
the proportion that the bid accepted
by the council is less than $2.10 pei
square yard.
The third false statement is in the
fourth paragraph, which says bonds in
the sum of $4,000 will be issued
(which will be a special assessment
against the property benefited" In
paragraph eleven it states ''these
bonds for $4,000 will be a specific
lien, equivalent to mortgage, upon
each individual lot within the paving
district" In paragraph eighteen the
amount of these bonds is calculated as
binding on the council, and that it
might cost more or less than the
estimate This is false. This fixes
the maximum amount that the city
can pay for paving the street inter-
section At higher rate than this the
amount of bonds issued could not pave
all the street intersections in the paw
ing district, and the council would be
a part of the indebtedness of the city,
making a grand total of $339,752, of
indebtedness for the city and that
part of the school district within the
city limits These statements, besides
conflicting with each other, are false
in many respects and very mislead
ing The truth about the bonds is this.
They are figured On the maximum
basis of $40 per square yard for
paving, and will be reduced in amount
in proportion as the cost of paving
is less than that figure. They are not
u lien on every lot i'll the paving dis
triot, but only such an amount of the
bonds as each such lot should pay for
its own paving, and no more.
The amount due on each lot is a
SEPARATE lien en- that lot, and it can
be paid up at any time, or be run the
full ten years, and if it is paid up that
lot is released from any further liza
blity for any of the remaining portion
of the so-called $4,000 of bonds.
They are not city bonds in any sense
and the city is not obligated single
dollar by them The city issues a
specific lien on each lot for its share
of the paving. The paving contractor
accepts this as his pay, and the owner

this lien to the holder thereof. through
the city treasurer.
Sec. Art 8 of the Con. of Idaho
prevents cities from loaning its
credit for this purpose. The Tax
payers League" have just as much
right to go to the county records and
figure the total mortgage indebted
ness on all Moscow property and in
cIude that amount as a part of the
city's Indebtedness as to include these
bonds as they have done. This show
ing of city Indebtedness is false and

In paragraph ten Taxpayers
League states that the bonds draw
q rate of interest not exceeding per
cent This is false. These bonds can
not draw higher rate of interest than
6 per cent and may draw as much
less as the council may be able to
make contract for with the paving
contractor

The Assessed Valuation.

Another misleading statement is in
paragraph IA in which it is assumed
that the assessed valuation of the
city for the present year will be $780,
0G0. This is a guess at best, and q very
wild one at that. No property has
been valued at this time and the valu-
alton will not be known till Septem-
Der LIST. Until this is known the 1911
valuation is the only safe basis for
figuring. The following certificate may
be verified at the Assessors office:
q, E. ]. Gemmill. assessor of La
tab county, hereby certify that the
assessed valuation of all property
within the corporate limits of Moscow
as shown on page 239 of Roll of
the 1911 tax rolls of Latah county, is
$1,7S5,14S.

| This valuation is not on a cash
basis by any means. At the meet
ing of the State Board of Equalization
last year it was estimated tina. the
state was assessed at about IS per
cent of its full cash value. Since then
the law regarding assessment of
property has been changed, providing
for assessing at 40 per cent of it's full
cash value. The Taxpayers League"
i'll making their guess as stated above
have undoubtedly assumed that the
city was assessed last year on d full
cash basis at $1,7S5, 14S; that this year
it would be 40 per cent of that amount
or S700,000 On the basis of this val
uation, they have tried, by adding
the city bond Indebtedness, which is
at least $4,000 too high and the city
warrant indebtedness, without sub
stracting the money on hand, enough
to pay it in full, the proposed bond is
sue of $30,752. instead of the amount
that will be actually issued, and the
entire $4,000 of liens against speci-
fic property, which is all false, they
have tried to make the percentage of
city Indebtedness so high that it would
throw a scare into the people of Mos
COW, and get them to oppose the bonds.
Do not be fooled by these false state
ments and wrong conclusions. The
facts are as we state them, and any
cre of lis will take pleasure in making
them clear to those who doubt.

In paragraph 20 it is stated that
Moscow is so fiat that storm sewers
cannot be made to work This is not
only false, but it is ridiculous. 1t is
a joke. In Idaho we have such towns
as Boise, Nampa, Caldwell, Twin Falls

than Moscow, each of which is paved
and has storm sewers There is more

sary for this purpose.

President Leaves Tariff Rev.
sion TO Democrats.
OPPOSES PENDING MEASURE
NJ. TAFT Comes Out Strongly Against
independence for the Philip
pine Islands.

Washington, Dec. 7.-President Taft
will make no further efforts to have
congress reduce the tariff. In a gen.
eral' message to congress the presi.
dent clearly indicated his intention OF
leaving further tariff revision to Mr..
Wilson and the congress just elected.
Nov that a new congress has been
elected on platform Of tariff for
revenue only, rather than protective
tariff, and is to revise the tariff on
that basis" said the president, 1T is
needless for me to occupy the time of
congress with arguments or recon-
mendations in favor of a protective
tariff"
This message, the second submitted
by the president since the present ses-
sion began, will be his last of gen.
eral character It dealt with every
department of the government except
the state department, recommended
much of the legislation which Mr.. Taft
ton of congress, and took up and dis
cussed at length several subjects COM
paratively new.
Opposes Philippine independence.
Mr.. Taft came out strongly against
independence for the Philippines pro-
posed, he said, in a bill now before
congress. He deprecated the new pol
icy of one battleship year instead of
two, and favored building three this
year. He endorsed again the scheme
of currency reform proposed by the
national monetary commission.
He declared that no radical change
In the Sherman antitrust law was
needed and praised the supreme court
for it's recently announced change in
rules of equity procedure. In this con-
nection the president asked congress
to formulate rules Of procedure under
the common law in federal courts and
predicted that such action would facili-
tate justice in those courts and reduce
the cost of litigation to the public.
The Panama canal was dismissed In
few words, the president prophesy-
ing it's opening in the latter half of
1918. He took occasion, however, to
declare that congress should reward
the work of Colonel Goethals by an
appointment ass major general with
the provision that he become chief OF
engineers when the term of the pres
ent incumbent expires
