Moscow-Axel p. Ramstedt, ex-
county auditor and now a member of
the Idaho state tax commission, has
returned after several weeks work in
Idaho, Lewis, Clearw alter and Nez
Perez counties. After some DAYS in
Latah county Mr.. Ramstedt will take
up his work in Kootenai, Bonner and
Shoshone counties.
The three tax commissioners divid-
ed the state into three districts and
Mr.. Ramstedt was assigned Northern
Idaho.
My ideas of fixing taxation and
the methods of doing it are to simpli-
fy the laws and assess all property at
its actual value, which, in itself, .
said Mr.. Ramstedt, would practical
ly classify the different kinds Of prop
erty. The purpose of the special ses-
sion of the legislature In providing for
taxing property on 40 per cent basis
instead of 100 per cent, presume.
was because of the constitutional pro-
vision fixing certain levies. When
the constitution is amended or leyies
reduced there should be no reason for
the 40 per cent provision.
observation-disclosures men of Lew
iston dealing in grain bags are specu-
lating this year as to what attitude
farmers Of Northern Idaho will take
relative to the soaring of the prices of
grain bags. With the price now at 9
cents, the highest known at this time
for jute bags. and with many hundred
thousand bags yet to be purchased, it
is believed that farmers will hold out
with the hope of receiving lower quo
tstions.
Several farmers unions of the Lew
iston country have already contracted
their bags for this season. Last fall
the local unions contracted for 200
900 and 800, 900 bags at 6 cents.
The jute combinations in India
will affect the grain bag prices this
year more than previously, said r.
|. Lint, of the Interior Warehouse
company, of this city. what the
ultimate result will be do not know.
1t is matter Of considerable specu-
lation just what the farmers intend to
do in meeting the high prices Of grain
bags"
In Asotin, Neg Perez and Idaho
counties the farmers have large con-
slgnments of bags yet to contract. In
Washington the Walla Walla state pen
itentiary has offered several hundred
Thousand bags at cents, and small
quantities are being purchased in that
manner, but not enough to make an
apprecisble difference with the COM
petition with the outside combinations.

HOWEVER much it may be argued
that Taft made some mistakes during
his administration, yet the fact remains
that they are so insignificant so in.
finetesimally small that it would re.
quire spy-glass of the first magnitude
To discover them among the big things
that have been accomplished and the
achievements that have been and will
be brought about. Every man is liable
To make mistakes there has not been
president of the United States since
its birth but has made them, but the
Banner challenges the statement that
Taft has made more than his predeces-
sor, Theodore Roosevelt, the man who
has by his own act and yolition stepped
from the highest pinnacle of honor and
fame that could be conferred upon
any man, down into the swamp lands
and underbrush of the bull moose
haunts. His breaking faith with Mr..
Taft before and at the Chicago Conven-
lion and his persistent attempt since TO
disrupt the party is an act of political
treachery 10 the republican party in
general and TO Mr.. Taft in particular
That will follow him all down through
the ages OF history and link his name
with other national celebrities who have
made big mistakes.
