that played this drama 476 success

scenery used there. To give the
public some idea of the magnificent
strength of this production it may
be stated that the Auditorium stage
has been ordered cleared of all the
house scenery, as the several scenes
will be Sc in the company's massive
wood settings with solid mahogony
doors and silk draperies. Referring
to the matter Manager Ellinger
said: "To obtain this original New
York production for the Auditorium
was compelled to concede to such
terms as WI give us a very small
margin of the receipts, but l was
determined to accept the opportun-
ity of giving our people such a pro-
duction as has never been seen, even
though there is nothing in it for
the house financially "
The Press hopes that such a spirit
of enterprise will be rewarded, as
it should be, with a packed house.

been equally increased. The land
of the farmer can not be increased
211 per cent and the stock of the
merchant increased III per cent
without shifting a part of the bur-
den carried by the merchant to the
farmers shoulders.
The Bingham county farmer paid
80 cents an acre in taxes last year.
This year he will pay nearly 46
cents per acre. Part of this in
crease is due to the fact that the
levy last year was too low. The
farmer pays greater increase
than any other tax payer except
The railroad owner.

merely struggling to justify a legal
theory. He undertook to change the
basis of assessment without con-
sidering the effect it would have
No business man would have un-
taken to do so without careful con-
slderation and preparation. No busi-
ness man would have called the
assessors from the field after six
weeks had elapsed since work be-
gun, after telling them to proceed
along old lines. No business man
would have permitted the legisla-
ture to adjourn after fixing levies
on the old basis without giving
them no ice of any intended change
in policy
The essence of the whole matter
is that Mr.. Hawley is not a business
man. And no one not a business
man should be elected governor.

purely business affairs.

p. W. Davis, before entering the
race eor state senator, consulted
and advised with many leading men
Of this part of the county. He
made his position clear to them,
that he would be all the time for

all the time FOL the creation of a
new county. He made him ,e.f

that he woaid have to be consist

people what he would not be willing
to concede to others who also de-
sired county division Having re-
ceived the sanction of those whom
he conferred with, and having been
pledged their support, he entered
the fight and made all aggressive

These are the averages for the
state The increase in Bingham
county can not be learned because
the county was divided, but it is
fair to presume that it will not diff
fer much from that of the average
for the state.
Now for illustration. Say a cer-
tain piece of Land is valued at $10,-
900 and the tax rate is 81 per
hundred. The owner of that land
would pay 500 in taxes. Now in
crease the value of this land 211.7
per cent, making it worth $31,17O.
Using the same rate, the land own
er void pay $311.70 in taxes.
Now take a stock of merchandise
valued at $4,000. The merchant,
like the farmer would pay 500 in
taxes. Now increase it I'LL per
cent, and it's assessed value would
be s21.11 Taxes at the same
rate the merchant would pay $210.1l
in taxes as against $311.7O by the
land owner.
Now it makes on difference
whether the tax rate is raised or
lowered the farmer gets the worst
of it BECAUSE HIS PROPERTY
HAS BEEN INCREASED MORE
THAN ANY OTHER FORM OF
PROPERTY EXCEPT RAILROADS.
This is part of the effects of
cash valuation which MIR. Carruth
did not explain, possibly because he
did not know the per centage of
increase.
The claim that full valuation
makes no difference for the reason
that the same amount of property
