FARMERS ARE ASKED TO
ATTEND CHAMBER LUNCH

At recent meeting of the Moscow
Chamber of Commerce a resolution
was adopted setting aside one meet
ing in each month for the discussion of
agricultural and kindred subjects. At

specially prepared address in an inter
esting and instructive manner. The
address will be scientific and practical.
The subject will be seasonable and of
Importance. The farmer who is for
tunate enough to avail himself of the
opportunity of hearing the entire SER

Simple Assassination.

Ell PASO, Feb. 22.-That Francisco
Madero is marked for certain death as
the result of a conspiracy among the
Diazists and the followers OF General
Huerta, which is secretly sanctioned
by the government itself, is the report
contained in dispatches received mere.
1t is declared that Madero Will be
assassinated before he can leave the
republican, although he will be given
the formality of trial.
The plans, it is alleged, call for the
acouittal of the former president OF
any crime ,and this will be done to
satisfy the United States in its efforts
to protect Maderos life.
When acquitted the former pres'dent
will be exiled, and will start for the
coast, probably to come 20 the intel
States. On his journey to the coast
the deposed executive will be murder

BOISE, Feb. 22.-The Twin Falls
and Latah county delegation fought
the first round of their battle for the
state agricultural college in the house
and Twin Falls won a temporary vic
tory yesterday. The northerners start
ed the fight when Oversmith moved
that the bill to establish the agricul-
tural college at Twin Falls be referred
to the committee on appropriations.
The house voted to allow it to take
the regular course on the calendar.
If the bill to be introduced before
the state legislature by Representa-
tive A. H. Oversmith of Latah coun-
ty, at the request of the state board
of equalization, is enacted into law,
the full cash plan of assessing prop
erty for the purpose of taxation will
be returned after being discarded by
the legislature in extraordinary ses-
sion in January, 1912. 1t was at the
time of taking office by former Gov
ernor Hawley that the full cash plan
of assessing property was put into
practice, and with storm of protest
arising from all sections of the state
over the system of levying taxes on
a valuation of 100 cents on the dol
lar, the legislature deemed it advis-
able to change back to the 40 per
cent plan of valuation of real and
personal property for the purpose of
levying taxes.
The bill provides for full cash val

which under the proposed bill will
be very scant. Under the present
law all property is assessed at but 40
per cent of it's actual value, and the
exemptions are many.

of $500; under the provisions of the

The same amount the present law on

be done away with. The exemption
granted soldiers and widows in the

Another provision of the bill is that
with property becoming delinquent,
there will be added a penalty of 10
per cent, as at present, and then the
assessor will be compelled to issue to
the county auditor, as trustee for the
county, a tax certificate bearing an
interest of IS per cent per annum in
addition to the 10 per cent for three
years, during which time the prop
erty will be subject to redemption at
the hands of the original owner with
the payment of the penalty of 10 per
cent and interest, and at the end of
that time if not redeemed, the prop
erty will be sold and the county will
receive the proceeds. Under the pres
ent law the 10 per cent penalty is all
that is taxed against the property of
delinquents for period OF six
months after the delinquency occurs,
the property then being sold for taxes
to private parties, and the 18 per
