Developments in Contest Giue
Promise of Exciting Finish

A look at the standing of the con-
testants striving for the $4,000 in
prizes offered by the Caldwell mer-
chants and The Tribune. will show
that there are at least two organize
tons which have realized the need for
organized effort in order to win.
By concentrated effort, and having
their organizations always in mind
which prompted them to ask for their
vote coupons the two contestants in
the lead have polled over 5000 votes
the past week.
Last week we suggested that there
might be q dark horse in the running
and the count this week seems to JUS
tify our suggestion. The Westmin-
ster Guild still holds frat place, the
Methodist Ladies' Aid has taken Sec
ond place. While the Baptist Young
People did not cast q large vote it
does not follow that they may not
spring a big surprise, and while you

News Snapshots
Of the Week
TAXPAYERS Make
Strong PROTEST

The meeting of taxpayers of Can.
yon county called to protest against
any raise in assessed valuations was
well attended There was no doubt
IN the mind of those present that the
present assessment was as high as
conditions warrant. H. A. Partridge
OF Nampa, who owns business prop
erty IN nearly every community in
the county, declared that he would sell
all or any part OF his land holdings
at less than their assessed valuations.
In tact all the statements made at the
meeting indicated that land does not
command the values placed upon it
by the 1918 assessment. Among in
stances mentioned at the club meet
ing Saturday night a parcel of prop
erty in Caldwell which was assessed
at $500 was sold for $2l0O. A ranch
near Nampa was assessed at $500
per acre and sold for $65.OO per acre.
Near Emmett a ranch of 100 acres
was assessed at $4,000 per acre and
recently sold for $500. Several citi-
Gems of standing in the county stated
that they would undertake to get op-
tons on 30 per cent of the real estate
IN the county at prices equal to or
lower than the 1918 assessed valua-
tons.
John D. Robertson, member OF the
state tax commission and nearly all
the county afhcials attended the meet
ing. In addition there were delega-
tons from nearly every community.
The largest delegation came from
Nampa. Among those attending the
meeting were Messrs. T. J. Brown
and John Harrader of Payette; c. X.
Hickey, E. M. Robertson, A. S. Funk,
H. A. Partridge. J. F. Bow. CT. Rob
bins, T. E. Munhall, Geo. Everett and
X. l. Tippen of Nampa; J.. H. Lowell
and A. J. lockwood of Roswell; Walt
Mitchell of Parma, besides a great
many business men and farmers from
all over the county.
At the conclusion OF the meeting a
committee was appointed to appear
before the state board.
Monday evening the delegation of
Canyon county, including Messrs. w.
l.. Mitchell and J.. E. Kerrick of Par
ma; c. R. Hickey. H. A. Partridge
and B. L. Johnson of Nampa; s. E.
Chapman OF Payette; E. K. Hayes
of Emmett, and Walter Criffiths, b.
L. Newell, Geo. w. Stovel, Charles
Sanberg, and A. o. Christopher of
Caldwell, appeared before the. State
Board OF Equalization.
An interesting time ensued in which
much was accomplished for the ben
eft of Canyon county taxpayers.
With Walter Griffiths as spokesman
in general and Z. X. Hayes repre-
senting the Emmett district L.
kerrick for Parma and Assessor A.
Q. Christopher speaking for the coun-
ty in general. the board sought and
were given information concerning
the land values in the different sec
tons OF the county. especially that

PERTINENT news Of
STATE With OUR
own Comment

The Paris Post states that comes
now gentle zephers from the north
carry the interesting bit OF news that
from geographical standpoint the
north is entitled to a United States
senator. According to the Post SEN
ator. Brady is to become governor
leaving Judge James f. Ailshie and
Congressman French to settle the
senatorship between themselves On
this theory the southeast is to furnish
2 justice OF the state supreme court.
az TINS time and while the guessing
good we can see nothing wrong
With uhe scheme. vi course Governor
Haines, Hon. D. w. Davis and other
aspirants may not wish to be dispos-
ca OF In this manner. Senator Brady
might have objection to the plan
a six-year term in the senate is more
greatly to be desired than a two-year
term as governor of Idaho. The Tri-
pune has no particular interest at this
time and gives these gentle zephers
Tor what they are worth. If the read
CT can place reasonable valuation
on them he has US over the ropes.
Former Governor Gooding is still
factor to be reckoned with. This too
is considered by our Paris contem-
Porary. 1t says: "Of course Frank
X. Gooding must be reckoned with,
but since he made such a wonderful
success getting Democrats to vote the
Republican ticket at the last primary
election it is thought that Frank r.
will be willing to accept the position
OF state chairman and give him an
opportunity to round up all the Dem
ocrats and Bull Moosers in the state
and repeat the same stunt at the gen
eral election that he did at tine pri-
mary election in Lincoln county two
years ago."
We have thus disposed of the whole
situation. We trust that everybody
is we'll satisfied.

DENOTES TIME TO
 WORTHY CAUSE

On Monday, June 2nd, Miss Dixie Dees, of this city, will be- gin a tour of the State in the interest of the temperance cause. Miss Dess taught the class in expression at the High School in Prescott during the last term and is a young lady of rare ability. She has always been a very enthusiastic worker for the cause of temperance, and that her efforts have been highly sue. cessful is evident by the large number of willing workers in the local union. Our Prescott Woman s Christian Temperance Union is not surpassed by any in the State, and a great deal of this is due to the untiring work of Miss Dees.
 Miss Dees has a list of dates which will keep her in the field until next September. She be gins Monday, June 2nd, at Stamps, and will visit a large number of towns and cities in Arkansas. Her recitals and lee lures are not only instructive, but highly interesting and inspiring, and we are sure that she will win people to herself and her cause wherever she cause.
