The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1912-01-25


cnt special session will be along pure
ly party lines was indicated Monday
when vote was taken in the house
on Minority Leader Morgan's motion
to take up in committee of the whole
consideration CT house bill No. 1, as
reported by the committee of fifteen.
The motion was lost by purely party
vote, the Republican majority oppos.
ing the proceeding.
The house yesterday passed it's first
bill, being house. bill No. 80, by Davis,
permitting the use of license moneys
and fines collected by horticultural and
live stock inspectors in the payment OF
the salaries of such officers. This is
in conformity with the intention of the
law enacted at the regular session.
The new general revenue law, pre-.
pared by the Republicans as substi-
t'lre for the MacLane-M Martin measure
was formally introduced yesterday by
Majority Leader Davis of Oneida coun.
ty. With a few slight amendments,
this bill will probably pass both hous-
es, thus permitting early adjournment
of the special session. The Davis law,
which was drafted by a joint caucus
OF house and senate Republicans, con-
tains the following salient points:
Payment of taxes twice year.
The numerical system of listing lane:
upon the tax rolls
County board CT equalization meets
cne week earlier than at present and
has power to lower valuations without
and to raise under provisions now in
force. 4
Provides for plating system as by
the Hawley measure.
Exemptions are allowed the same
except private libraries are exempt to
the value of $4OO only Homes are
exempted to the value of 5000 only
where the total value of the home
property does not exceed $1,000.
The Hawley bill for taxing banks
is followed except that the real estate
which is exempted shall consist of on.
ly such real estate as constitutes a
part OF the capital of the bank and
does include other real estate ACQUIRED
in the regular order of business. II
abolishes the exemptions for debts as
exists under the present law.
Replaces taxation OF credits at the
40 per cent value, the Hawley bill hav
ing exempted credits.
Requires personal notice before tai
deeds can be issued.
State taxes are apportioned upon the
current years valuation instead of the
previous years as at present.
Nothing said about taxation oil
mines.
The substitute bill for the genera
revenue measure killed by the house
yesterday was passed Wednesday morr
ing in the house and sent to the sen
ate by vote of Al for the measure tc
only 10 against it, many Democrats
having voted for the bill with the ex
PLANTATION that it appeared to be the or
~ relief legislation that would be pos
sible at this session and although they
were not In accord with some of its
provisions, they could not afford t.
take an attitude of opposing the remed
ial features which it does include.

checked about noon, and some strength
