MEETING OF TAXPAYERS
NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT
Citizens Will Discuss Proposed Raise
In Valuation of Real Estate.

There will be meeting of the tax
payers of Canyon county at the Cald>
we'll Commercial club Saturday even
ing, tomorrow, for the purpose of
property Valuations in this
county. Assessor Christopher and
the public understand that the state
tax commission has in mind a raise
in valuations. A representative of
the commission will attend the meet
ing. All interested are invited to at
tend. In regard to the assessed val
uations in Canyon county Assessor
Christopher says:
ut is barely possible that other
counties in Idaho have been assessed
higher than has Canyon. But, not
withstanding. the valuation placed
upon the property in Canyon county
was levied upon the basis of its mar
ket value and not upon a speculator's
price. If the Canyon county assess
ment is out of proportion with the as
sessment levied against other Idaho
counties, I believe that a reduction in
the valuations of the higher counties
could be more consistently made than
a raise in this county. firmly be-
lieve that every parcel of property
listed on the Canyon assessment roll
can be purchased for its assessed VAL
uation."

A Mild Sensation.

Press dispatches from WASHINGTON
state that Senator Borah created a
mild sensation in the United States
senate by charging that agents of the
department of justice had investigated
federal judges for the purpose Of in
fuencing their action in cases in which
the government was interested. In
view of the fact that since the Roose-
Welt administration every department
of the government has had secret
agents, spies and investigators inves-
tigating every thing and every body
under the sun we can see no reason
Tor the sensation. The senator did not
spring anything new. Even away out
here in Idaho we have had these
agents. They have investigated al
legged timber frauds, bank failures,
homesteaders and power companies,
Why should they not investigate the
federal judiciary? These Investigations
we're made for the purpose OF infiu-
encing somebody or other in every
instance. Not content with that the
department of justice has sent out
special prosecutors, and II is said that
this was most fortunate in an in
stance or two. These special prose-
cutor were supposed to have an in
fuence for good. no doubt. The SEN
ator says that he knows this his been
done during the past four or FIVE
years. Although he did not say SO
the senator also knows that these
agents have operated during the past
ten or twelve years. President Roose-
welt reduced government espionage to
fine art. His system was elaborate
and effective. We cannot say that he
protected his friends but he certainly
got his enemies.

RELIEF PROMISED
The WATER USERS

Hon. A. w. Ryan, personal rep
resentative of Secretary Lane of the
Department of the Interior, has given
the water users of the Payette- Boise
project assurance that there will be
a substantial reduction in the annual
payments to the government. Mr..
Ryan is visiting all the government
projects which Secretary Lane was
unable to reach. His recommends
tons will be acted upon at the ear
Hest possible date.
Mr.. Ryan attended the regular
monthly meeting of the water users
held in this city Tuesday. He stated
that he was present to listen to any
suggestions that the farmers might
have to offer in regard to the improve
ment OF conditions or the manage
ment OF the project. The amount
that the settlers could pay annually
was a subject in which he was deeply
interested, SO he informed the hun
dred or more settlers who were pres
ent.
A discussin of this subject showed
the concensus of opinion to be that
rs per acre, inclusive of maintenance
charges, would be a reasonable rate
and in fact the only payment that
the settlers would be able to meet
II, after personal investigation oil
conditions, MIR. Ryan finds this to BE-
the case, he will recommend that the
term OF payment for the cost of the
project be extended over a sufficien,
number of years to make the annua
payment not over S. per acre.

State Land Board Decides to
Sell Timber to Highest
Bidder.
BORAH STIRs THEM UP
Governor Haines Issues Usual Labor
Day Proclamation-New Postal
Regulations Will Work to Advan-
tage of the Small Town Merchant
Sweet Clover Best Hay on Earth.

The state land board has arrived
at two very sensible conclusions, The
state timber for which the Barber
Lumber company recently offered
100000 is to be sold, but to the high
est bidder. The real value of the
tract, after thorough investigation,
is found to be much greater than the
appraised value. A new appraisement
will be made. The timber will then
be advertised and sold. Undoubtedly
the Barber Lumber company will and
can pay more for the timber than anv
other company. 1t has already made
extensive investments in Boise and
Ada counties and is better prepared to
handle the timber than any one else.
Such being the case it should be JUS
tined in making its contemplated inn
provements for the handling of timber
and the manufacture of lumber. The
result will be a better price to the
state without in any way stopping de-
velopment. The Tribune has all along
advocated the sale of this timber pro-
vided the state was getting a fair mar
ket price. The outcome of the discus
sion which has taken place since the
proposal was made is highly crafty
ing to all concerned. The newspapers
which insisted that the price offered
was not high enough have sustained
their point. The state administration
which is solely concerned in seeing
that the interests of the people of the
state are we'll safeguarded has accom-
plished its purpose, which is the sale
of the timber at the highest obtainable
price. The Barber Lumber company
is given an opportunity to go on with
its development work. 1t has no just
complaint. No private corporation is
entitled to direct or indirect assistance
from the state. If the manufacture of
Timber under the conditions is profit
able to this company, all is we'll and
good. If not it leaves the way clear
for others, who can engage in the in
dustry with profit to themselves.
George A. Day of the state land
board says that it is high time that
the state pay attention to its timber
holdings. He looks upon timber as
upon any other crop. At a certain time
timber is mature and should be har-
vested. Otherwise it loses value by
rotting away. The deterioration is a
dead loss, while dead timber soon be-
comes menace to entire forests by
enabling fires to spread quickly and
easily. The policy of the state Off
Gals in the future will be to sell timber
at maturity. This too appears like a
most sensible conclusion.

News Snapshots
Of the Week
Will SELL
At ASSESSED VALUE

After John D. Robertson, a men,
Der OF the state tax commission. had
checked up the 1918 assessment roll,
he stated that the assessed valuation
Of Canyon county should be raised
from 81 to 81 per cent, and intimated
that such action would be taken when
the commission meets. Assessor A.
0. Christopher believes that he has
assessed property in Canyon county
at its full cash value. Tuesday Mr..
Christopher went to Boise for the
purpose of consulting with the state
board of equalization. He invited the
board to visit Caldwell and Canyon
county before taking action on the
assessments. He was given assurance
that if possible at least one member
of the board would make peronal in
vestigation in this county.
A number of taxpayers suggested
to Assessor Christopher that inquiry
would show that there were hundreds
OF property owners who would sell
their property at its assessed valua-
ton. Some taxpayers filed afldavits
to that effect. AS Others expressed a
willingness to do the same the as
SCISSOR caused to be printed blank
form Tor this purpose. Any person
interested will be supplied with this
form upon application at the Office
of the assessor. The form is sim
pie affidavit to the effect that the own
er of the property will sell the prop
erty for a consideration of the
amount same is assessed by the coun-
ty assessor for the year 1913" Those
affidavits should carry some weight
with the state board of equalization.
Property owners who are willing to
sell for an amount equal to the as
sessed valuation should make out an
affidavit to that effect and file it with
Assessor Christopher.
The abstract of the assessed valua-
ton of Canyon county was filed with
the tate auditor Tuesday. The abb
stract shows that the assessed valua-
ton of the county is $lo,8o4, OO4.0O,
which is about $8,OOO,OOO less than the
1912 assessment. However, in the
1913 valuation personal property and
bank stock are not included. The
first item in 1912 amounted to 49,
