SURVEYORS OUT
FROM PRESTON

Oregon Short Line surveyors have
been working in this vicinity for the
past two weeks
Since the Telluride won out over
the Short Line In the courts giyii 9
them power to build their 200 foot
dam and power houses at the Mar
rows on Bear river, itwas conjectural
what move the railroad company
would make next.
Since the surveyors have been In
the field, rumor has 1t that the road
will be continued from the terminus
out along the least bench of Beai
river, higher up than the route taken
by the old road, until the grade OF
the Old John w. Young road Ii
,ached, which will be followed out
up Mink creek, er1ssing the divide
into Gentle Valley.
The fact that the railroad COM
pany's surveyors have entered the
field after the recent decision Ii
pretty good evidence that the Short
Line means business. The railroad
will open up one of tht g satest grain
countries in Idaho.-P. eston Booster

Bear Lake county farmers have
little cause to refer to their tax re-
ceipts to learn what cash valuation
assessments have cost them. In 1910
the average tax paid on patented
lands by them was $l0.6S per acre.
In 1911 1t had risen TO s14.08 per acre.
In 1912 it will be 1881 cents per acre,
although they may not have all OPP
portunity to learn this fact before the
election Is over. However, IL any OF
them care to investigate the matter,
they will learn it beyond question.
The facts are all on the county rec
ords for all to investigate, who may
care to do SO.
In 1910 Bear Lake county had l30,-
46e acres of patented lands, the aver
age equalized value Of which was
$4l9 per acre. The total tax levy
was sass per 800, which made the
tax per acre l06S cents. In 1911 the
equalized value on these lands was
$l1 per acre, the tax rate was $l.2S
per hundred, and the tax per acre
was l4.08 cents. In 1910 the farmers
paid $l3, ,93s SO in taxes on patented
lands, while in 1911 they paid $751; 1859
on exactly the same number ofacres,
or an increase of 8l.s per cent. Now
this is pretty stiff interest to pay for
the privilege of trying out Governor
Hawley's cash valuation experiment.
But the half has not been told. In
1911 tho land added to the tax roll
totaled 9,185 acres, the tax upon
which amounted to "A, ,293.74. In 1912
there is still another increase III acre.

HOW CASH VALUATION
HAS AFFECTED FARMERS
The Records Show That the Farmers Have Been
Hit Harder Than Any Other Class by Gov
ernor Hawley's Tax System.

In 1910 the total tax on l30, 1852 acres
was $3.50 38 In 1912 the tax on the
same number Of acres will be $25,-
539 90, which is almost double what
1t was two years ago.
This is not due to the extravaganza
Of the commissi or other officers,
but because the valuation of patent
ed lands has been increased $50 per
cent by reason Of Governor Hawley's
stand, while all other forms Of pro-
perty have been Increased only 1853
per cent. The proportion Of taxes
borne by the farmers is therefore
greater than 1t was before, no matter
what the levy may be-whether 1t be
increased or decreased.
Land is not the only thing affected.
The average tax paid on farm horses
in 1910 In this county was 89L cen
per head, while In 1911 the tax was
$1.l3 per head.
John M. Haines, republican candi-
date for governor, has had the taxes
on land figured out In every county
and the result 10 startling. The in
crease in some of the counties is
enormous, it being 1874 per cent in
Ada county, 30 per cent in Bannock,
3l.S in Bear Lake, l0S per cent in
Blaine, SO per cent in Kootenai and
13l per cent in Bingham and Bonne-
vile. Only seven counties had q
smaller increase than Bear Lake and
most of them had twice the increase.
Surely, Idaho needs business man
for governor, instead of a lawyer, and
there Is only one business man In the
race and his name is John M.
Haines.

ALL PARTIES ARE
PROGRESSIVE"

The fact that, as if by common
consent, everybody from its oandi
date for president down, refers TO
it as the "Bull Moose" party, or
the "Third Term" party, or the
"New" party, Shove instructive
rejection on the part of the people
of the idea that any one poll ltlcal

itself the ''Progresslve. party.
