VALUES REDUCED
IN LATAH TOWNS
STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
ORDERS A HORIZONTAL CUT
OF TEN PER CENT.
County Officials Return From Boise
and Comment on Action Of State
Board Relative to Timber Values.

A horizontal cut of 10 per cent in
the assessed value of residence and
business property in the towns of La
tab county is announced by the state
board of equalization at Boise, the
news of the cut having been brought
to the city by Homer E. Estes, county
auditor and recorder; Clinton Wilson,
county commissioner of Moscow, and
who returned home from Boise Satur-
day evening.
These gentlemen have been at
Boise for the past week appearing be-
fore the state tax commission and the
board of equalization for the purpose
of sustaining the action of the county
board of equalization in it's raise on
the assessed valuation of timber and
timber lands of the Potlatch company,
in which the latter had protested to
the tax commission against the raise
on the grounds that it was unjust and
a discrimination. Evidence was sub
mitted by both sides in the contr-
vercy and according to Auditor Estes,
the tax commission made no recon-
mendations ordering a cut. The coun-
ty board had raised the original as
sessment on timber lands 40 per cent
and on timber only which stood on
state land 55 per cent.
Was Center Of Attention.
When the matter was presented to
the state board of equalization, the
Latah controversy occupied several
days before the board with the result
that a cut of II per cent on the as
sessed valuation was made on all tim
ber lands in the county regardless of
whether owned by individual or cor
porations.
The state board also made hori-
zontal cut of 10 per cent on agricul-
tural lands in Latah county, the ori-
ginal figure having been $46.03 per
acre. Ten per cent has been clipped
off this figure.
Officials Feel Gratified.
1--WE feel gratified that the state !
board has sustained the action of the
board of equalization in the
timber assessments declared Mr.. |
Wilson today. 1--WE felt that the con-
tention of the lumber companies was !
unjust and determined to combat the
matter. Attorney Oversmlth handled
The case for the county in creditable
manner. We do not wish it to be un-
lerstood that we are antagonlstlc to
he lumber interests, but we feel that
he county board of equalization has
acted entirely within its rights and
las been eminently fair it's considera-
ion of the timber values. We feel
hat the action of the state board has

His public utterance here was the
first intimation that the progressive
leader would go to South America. He
did not indicate what section he will
visit but it is believed that he is
anxious to explore some of the un-
known regions of the Guiana's where
it is said the Darwanian missing link
may be discovered. In that section it
is said that man has yet untrod that
country and that it abounds in the
ancient and historic species of wild
animals.
The colonel refused to say whether
he was responsible for the report
coming from Arizona some time ago
that he would head a company of
Rough Riders to fight in case OF wal
with Mexico. He indicated with a
smile that war with the Mexican re-
public was remote possibility.

Powers are Friendly.

Besides Great Britain, France and
Japan. all the five Central and South
American countries are lending their
support to the efforts of the United
States to bring about peaceful set
tlement of the Mexican revolution.
That the United States is backed by
world wide sentiment in its peace
policy is conceded in diplomatic cir
cles here. Tangible advices of the at

His status, it was pointed out in the
advices from Paris. was similar to that
of General Feliz Diaz, special ambas-
sador to Japan from the Huerta ad-
ministration, who, it was announced
in Toxic, would not be welcomed.
Great Britains statement recently that
the recognition of Huerta had been
provisional pending an election, taken
together with expressions from France
and Japan, all Of whom have formally
recognized Huerta, are the only public
manifestations of sympathy with the
policy of the United States in opposing
Huerta, but in the quiet realm of
diplomacy great pressure is being |
brought to bear upon the Huerta
regime to yield to the American sug-
gestions for peace.
Assurances that Latin-America |
stands by President Wilson have been
informally received here. This had been
expected, however, as the interests of

Victory for Both.
The decision of the supreme court
holds legal and validates the Moscow
paving bonds. On the other hand the
property owners won their contention
not to pay seven per cent interest on
delinquency of deferred payments.
The suit was instituted several
