WILL LIGHTEN TAX
BURDEN OF NORTH
Tax Commissioner Ramstead
Returns and Makes Report
On Timber Taxations.

Eighty seven thousand acres of tim
Der land on which patent has been
pending before the general land office
at Washington for years will be push
ed to patent as rapidly as surveys
can be made and approximately that
amount of land will be placed on the
assessment roll of the panhandle
counties in which 1t Is located to bear
it's burden of assessment next fall.
This Is the important announcement
that was made by Axtel P. Ramstedt,
chairman of the state tax commission
and a member of the public utilities
commission of this state. Commission
er Ramstedt recently returned from
an extended eastern trip during which
he attended the National Tax Com
missioners' convention at Buffalo the
latter part of this month and spent
a great part of his time at Washing
ton In conference with Commissioner
Tallman of the general land office,
urging action on the unpatented lands
in Idaho pending before that depart
ment.
"There Is approximately 100000
acres of these lands In the northern
part of this state which the counties
OF the north and the commission
wants to see placed on the tax rolls
Of the respective counties for taxa
ton purposes and 1t was mainly for
the purpose of getting action on
these patents that went east" said
Commissioner Ramstedt. II can say
now that $1,000 acres of this land
will be ON the tax rolls of this state
by next fall II the plan agreed upon
Ia CARRIED out. Commissioner Tall
man, whom l found to be greatly In
terested IN our difficulty here, assur
ed me that this land will be pushed
to patent as rapidly as possible and
that the balance of the lands pending
for patent will be taken up and pat
ent issued as rapidly as possible.
"The matter ds a very importan'
one to this state for 1t means al
increase i'm our revenue and the col
lection of taxes from thousands o.
acres of land, patent to which has
been held up before the department
for many years"
Commissioner Ramstedt stated tina
he found the tax commissioners con
vention at Buffalo to be very mstruc
tive. He was particularly interested
In the fact brought out by the com
missioners present that in some way
Idaho does not have the troubles tina
, other states have, but he found tina
an the states have their troubles ol
the taxation question. There were s.
states represented at the conference

SERIOUSLY INJURED.

While handling the horse with
which the material is elevated at the
new school house, Howard Waugh
stepped back through one of the open
ings in the first floor and fell some
twelve feet to the basement below,
striking upon his head and shoulders
He was so severely hurt that he
tainted away and the physician was
in doubt for some time as to the real
extent of his injuries, it being fear
ed that he might be hurt internally.
However, at this time he is getting
along nicely, and the doctor hopes
for his early recovery

and a number Of foreign countries.
The general opinion seemed to pre-
vail that Capitalization of power in
some commission Is necessary to pro-
perly administer a taxation system
and that the question Of expenditure
of taxes Is highly as important as the
question of raising taxes.-Moscow

ORDER BACTERIA
TO HELP ALFALFA
University of Idaho will Sup.
ply Formers With Material
to Inoculate Soil.

Since the beginning of the Holden
Alfalfa campaign, interest in alfalfa
and greater knowledge of its superior
virtues, have been growing rapidly
throughout this section, and many are
preparing to SOW several acres of
this great forage producer and soil
enricher. To those who are contem-
plating such a course, it will be of
as a result of an extensive expert
ment which has just been completed
the bacteriology department of the
university Is now ready to supply to
the farmers throughout the state
either large or small quantities of
material to be used In inoculating
clover, alfalfa and peas in order to
produce the nodules ON the roots
which are essential to the growing
of a successful crop.
The material is manufactured by
bacteriologists through a simple and
comparatively inexpensive process
and can be supplied to the farmers
at a nominal cost. 1t is estimated
by professor J. F. Nicholson, head OF
the department OF bacteriology, that
the material can be supplied at cos
of not exceeding five cents per acre.
"There are many places in the
state, said Professor Nicholson
where the soil lacks the natural ele
ments which produce these root no
doles and 1t Is our purpose to suppl!
the farmers of these sections will
this material which will make up 70
what the natural soil does not pos
sess."
The inoculating material Is forme'
on jelly like substance and require
only very simple mixture with mill
before the application to the seed. Il
an experiment conducted by Profes
sor Nicholson this summer two tract
containing two acres each wer
planted to Canadian field peas. TIL
seed, which was sown on one trac
was inoculated and that on the othe
was not. The former tract produce
So bushels per acre, while the yiel
on the latter dropped as low as 2
bushels per acre. The soil ON tn
two tracts was practically the same.

CURRENT COMMENT
A Threat or a Fact?

Arguing before the ways dmeans commit
tee of the house on the proposed cotton goods
schedule, Simon b. Chase, representing New
England cotton mill interests said:
You may succeed from revenue standpoint,
but you not going to accomplish what you
think you going to to benefting the
consumers"
The Importance OF that statement does not
lie in the admission therein that the purpose
of the Democracy is primarily to aid the con-
sumner. 1t would not be fair, perhaps, to con-
slider it in the nature of a threat The con-
ditions. nevertheless, follows: Present
prices based largely on the cost of foreign
goods in this country after they have paid
freight and duty. If the duty is lowered OBJ
viously the price of the manufactured goods in
America becomes that much less. In spite Of
this, says Mr.. Chase, the consumer will not get
the benefit of this reduction. Why not? Mr..
Chase does not say. but either because the re-
duction Will disappear In distribution be-
cause the manufacturers will enter into an
agreement to maintain prices We do not think
that either of these things Is possible,
If as Mr.. Chase AYERS, prices will not be dis
turbed at all by lowering of the tariff rate,
why should manufacturers object TO reductions?
They say in one breath that tampering with the
tariff will a panic and ruin esta bIahed
industries and in the next they aver that no
lowering of prices be expected from tariff
revision. They cannot be right in both state
ments We imagine that they wrong in both
Of them. Tariff reduction will not cause panic
and it will material reduction in the
retail price of certain necessities. Mr.. Chase e
statement is neither threat a fact. 1t
merely reveals attitude of mind.-Charleston
News and Courier.
