Democratic Leaders Being Asked
When Reductions of Prices
viii Be Secured
MASSES ARE DUBIOUS AS YET
New Tariff Measure Unlikely To
Bring Results


Especial Correspondence) Il letters
and kilograms which they have
been receiving from their constitu
ents i'll all parts of the country,
making inquiry as to the reason
the democratic party has not yet
reduced the cost of living, in ac-
cordance with its platform and
campaign promises, have aroused
President Wilson and the demo
cratic leaders to explanations and
more promises.
Some of the letters which are
reaching the leaders frankly state
that instead of reducing the cost of
living, which is as high if not
higher than ever, the party seems
to be determined to take employ
ment away from the working peo-
pie by removing the tariff protec-
ton that kept wages in this
country higher than in Europe.
The fact is being held up to the
democratic party in congress, that
it came into power on a promise to
reduce prices, and that now the
tariff bill is burdened with non
essentials over which time is being
wasted in wrangling, while pro-
ducts in which the masses are in
terested are being neglected.
Underwood Not Optimistic
Majority Leader Underwood,
whose name the new bill bears.
when asked to answer the query of
the critic as to what progress has
been made by congress towards
lowering the cost of living, and
when these reductions would be
made said:
To point out in detail the re-
auctions in the tariff bill, which
passed the house, that will reduce
the cost of living, would take
many hours. But 1 will say that
we have either placed every food
stuff on the free list or halved the
present tariff upon it. Meat and
bread are placed on the free list.
These are commodities in which the
masses are certainly interested.
The tariff on sugar has been
reduced twenty-five per cent, and
if the bill is passed in the form in
which it went to the senate will be
entirely eliminated within three
years. This present reduction, 1
think, will probably lower the
price to the consumer one-half
cent per pound.
AS to when these reductions
will become effective no one can
say. The bill must first pass the
senate, and l do not think that
there Is any doubt but that it will
1t will then go to the president for
his signature and Immediately be
law.
No one can say, however, what
benefits will result to the general
public from these reductions.
The tariffs will be lowered on all
articles, but the middlemen must
be considered before one can say
what saving the consumer will en-
joy. There is no doubt that many
products will be materially lowered
in price, but the lowering of the
tariff may not in some instances
effect any change in the price.
made to consumers.

TAX VALUES LOWERED
Cut Of Ten Millions In State Tax
Valuation.

At a late hour Saturday night the
tax commission, the state board of
equalization, the state auditor and the
clerical forces of the three depart
ments heaved big sigh of relief be-
cause the equalization Of the taxes for
1913 had been completed and the ex-
tensions made upon the records. Com
ing just under the wire as to the time
limit fixed by law, State Auditor Hus-
ton and his office force completed the
records to be sent to the county Off
Gals and had them in the registered
mail before midnight.
The story is pretty well told in the
accompanying table. 1t shows the to-
tai valuation to be $24,O00,000 less
than that of last year, but it must be
remembered that bank stock, migra-
tory stock and some other classes Of
personal property are to be added la
ter on supplemental roll, so that it
| is estimated that the valuation will
this year be practically the same as
last year.
| There was cut of $10,000,000 made
in the value of real and personal prop
erty by the state board of equalization
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1913-09-05

from the figures submitted by the
county auditors. The total before
equalization was $314,391 $50. This
was reduced to $304,011,1S4
In addition to the 100000 to be
raised under the general levy for state
purposes, there will be raised $S0,109
for the interest and sinking fund, and
$60,176 for public buildings. This will
be distributed among the various coun-
ties in the same ratio as the general
tax. The tax levy Tor all state pur-
poses this year will be $.0024S3. Last
year it was little more than six mills
on the dollar, but that was estimated
on the 40 per cent of the cash value OF
the property.
In addition to the value of real and
personal property and the value OF
railroads the completed schedule in
cludes this year 81 ,4S5,323 as the value
of the telephone lines in the state ST.
| 237 ,526 as the value of telegraph lines
$457,123 as the value of the private car

Of the power transmission lines.

assessed at 81 ,430, 59910; the telegraph
lines at $1,152,455.90 and the private

mourning should not be worn. It was

that there is altogether too much
mourning worn considering our pres
