EFFECTS TAX TITLE HOLDERS
Decision Of Supreme Court in Bonner
County Case Has Widespread Result

The ruling of the supreme court
of this state in the Bonner county |
delinquent tax case, will, it is
claimed, result in causing a small
stampede to the Offices of the sew
eral county assessors of the state
by parties having in their possess
ion delinquent tax certificates.
The case is looked upon as one OF
the most important decided by the
court for some time.
The facts set forth showing how
delinquent tax certificates are in
volved are as follows Some time
ago Byron Defenbach, assessor and
recently elected senator of Bonner
county, received a demand from
the holdersof delinquent tax GER
tifcate for a deed to the property
involved, the certificate having
been held for the required period
of three years. The assessor re-
fused on the ground that the de-
linquent owner of the property had
not been given the required notice
of 80 days by registered letter and
publication in a newspaper located
in the county in which the prop
erty was situated, his action being
based OH an act of the legislature
to that effect, passed at the extra
ordinary session last January. The
parties demanding the deed to the
property Immediately went to the
supreme court of the state and an
order was issued forthwith COM
pelling the assessor to issue the tax
deed without the necessity of adj
vertising or seeking the owner of
the property at the time it was
sold for delinquent taxes.
Prior to the last session of the
legislature it was necessary only to
hold property three years on de-
linquent tax certificate, and if the
owner appeared within that time
he was allowed to redeem his prop
erty by paying lS per cent interest
annually on the amount paid for
the property Advertising or Civ
ing other notice at that time was
unnecessary. With the passage of
the law last January compelling
holders of delinquent tax certih-
Gates to give notice as stated above
to the original holders of the land
the payment for the publication
being borne by the purchaser of
the tax delinquency, those dealing
extensively in buying in property
on which the taxes were delin-
quent, held off in seeking to de-
mand deed to the property. &.
The order just issued relating to
property held prior to the passage
of the law last January will have
the effect of bringing in hundreds
of holders of delinquent tax certi-
ficates who would have otherwise
waited.

Amend Divorce Laws

The divorce laws are to be amend
ed in accordance with recommen-
dations to be made by the supreme
court through the treatise of Judge
Davis upon that subject. The
marriage laws will not be disturbed,
but to those who come to Idaho
from other states to secure di-
vorces. In other words, the legis
lature will be asked to aid in de-
vising a means of stopping the
colonization of would-be Divorces.
State Purchasing Agent
1t is also proposed that a bill be
passed by the next legislature ere
ating the Office of state purchasing
agent. This officer will have
charge of the purchase of supplies
for all of the institutions of the
state and he will in every instance
be compelled to ask for bids upon
all supplies. The bills will all
have to be itemized and given to
the state purchasing agent, who
will see that the supplies have all
been received by the various insti
tutions. He will then place his
O. K. on the bill and send it to
the state auditor. 1t is also pro-
posed to give the state a more up
to-date method of accounts and to
systemic the voucher system. 1t
is thought that the creation of a
purchasing agent for all state in
situations and the installation of a
frst-class system of auditing the
bills would save the state many
thousands of dollars each year.
Many other bills are in the ten
tative stage and almost every day
there will be a new matter called
to the attention of the members of
the legislature. Governor elect
Haines is working a little upon his
first message to the legislature,
but it will be three weeks before
he will be able to definitely decide
what matters he will recommend.

been looked upon by enlightened san.
itarians as a relict of barbarism.
Popular prejudice, howaver, Is so
hard to overcome that it is import
ant that people should be informed
on what is known about transmits.
sion of contagious diseases and how
to guard against it. This may be
summed up, as follows:
/. The spread + such diseases
through the air, by scales of skin. or
by a third person, except a carrier
is SO unlikely that such methods may
be disregarded.
2. Such diseases are spread through
direct contact, either with a recogniz-
ed patient, or with a carrier or UNI
recognized case. Direct contact would
of course, include the use of water,
milk and other food products infected
by the discharges of typhoid fever,
cholera and consumptive patients.
3. The spread OF contagious dis
eases can be most effectually prevent
ed by the isolation of patients. This
can best be done in we'll equipped iso-
lation hospitals. Each municipality
should therefore have a proper hos
pital of that kind, with efficient
nurses, where patients with conta-
gious diseases would have the care,
comfort and treatment that a sick per-
son is entitled to. Such hospital
could be conducted as part of a gen
eral hospital, without danger to the
other patients.
4. Individuals can be rendered i'm
mune to certain diseases, such as ty-
phoid fever, smallpox, and, to a GER
tain extent, diphtheria. Experiments
are being made that will probably add
other diseases to this list. 1t is a du-
