CASE IS APPEALED TO
THE SUPREME COURT

Claiming he is entitled to a $4,000
commission for the sale of the Half
Way ranch in Blaine county for con-
sideration of $4,000 Stewart Camp
bell appears as plaintiff in an appeal
carried to the supreme court today
against the Cover Ranch Land & Live
stock company.
1t is recited in the complaint that
Campbell took the matter of the sale
OF the ranch up with Silas l.. Alfred
and wife and secured an option on it
for $4,000. He then entered into an
agreement with one II. +. Kilker to dis
pose of the ranch property for $685.
Later Alfred and James Chapman form
ed a corporation known as the Cover
Ranch Land & Livestock company and
took over the ranch. Campbell alleges
that he then had an agreement with
this corporation relative to his dis
posal of the ranch to Kilker but later
he asserts Kilker induced the corpora
ton to assign the ranch over to his
mother, Amelia kilker, closing a deal
with the company for the property.
Campbell alleges that he had an OPP
ton on the place, secured a purchaser
and had an understanding he was to
be given a $4,000 commission and brings
suit to recover that amount from the
CORPORATION.

APPROVE REPORT
OF COMMISSION
County Assessors Agree to
Increase in the Valua-
lions on Livestock.

The assessors of the state organized
for the purpose of considering assess
ment matters while the board of equal
zation is in session, have made report
to the state board of equalization ac-
cepting the recommendations of the
state tax commission increasing the
valuations on the several classifications
of livestock but as TO the merchandise
classification made no recommendation
The assessors report was made by
Chairman Wyatt and Secretary Won
Cannon and will be approved by the
state board of equalization thereby
settling the entire matter of stock
equalization without further argument
The assessors did not make recon-
mendation on the merchandise classi-
fication because it was felt this was
matter that the board should settle.
The board viii probably accept the
state tax commissions recommends
tons.
This is the first time in the history
of the state board of equalization that
the equalization as between counties
has been arrived at with such evident
satisfaction to assessors and in such a
way The board thought that the as
SCISSORS were in a position to settle
their own complaints on the tax com
missions recommendations and turned
them over to the assessors to discuss
and agree upon II possible. 1t was
found by the assessors that there was
remarkable close assessment in all
counties on the various stock classifi-
cations and little trouble was found in
arriving at an agreement to accept the
commissions recommendations.
| The land and timber recommends
lions of the tax commission will be
turned over to the assessors In the
same way when made and those as
SCISSORS who wish to appear before the
board on the timber matters can do sc
while those who do not but wish first
to have the agricultural classihcations
settled may return to their respective
counties.

REDUCTIONS IN
ASSESSMENTS OF
TIMBER WANTED
Representatives of Com
panies in Northern Idaho
Will Appear Before the
Equalization Board.

There is going to be merry war
before the state board of equalization
and the state tax commission this
week when the representatives of
northern Idaho timber companies APP
pear asking for a reduction in assess
ments of their timber holdings in the
various counties for the assessors of
the panhandle from those counties in
which the timber Is located have de-
cided to stand together in their fight
to have the assessments they made on
timber after acquiring the value
through the expense of private cruis-
ing stand as reported. The assessors
will demand, If the companies Insist
in carrying the matter to an issue be-
fore the commission, that the proceed
ings be taken by a stenographer and
that they be permitted to introduce evil
dence.
The timber assessment Is one of the
main taxation issues of northern Idaho.
In previous years 1t has been so but
this year it Is even more so because
the county assessors of the north to-
eether with the commissioners have
worked in unison In an attempt to
have timber placed on the rolls at its
proper value. In order to arrive at this
value many OF the timber counties
went to the trouble and expense of en-
ployinE cruisers who went over all of
the timber holdings of large corpora
lions as we'll as private individuals. 1t
was upon the cruises made that the
counties finally based their assess
ment.
The timber companies have combin-
ed in a general protest against the as
sessment ON the grounds that it is I'M
Just and unfair and they have not been
given the benefit of right classification.
1t is broadly limited by assessors that
If the board conducts an investigation
and testimony is taken evidence will
be introduced in an attempt to prove
that some of the timber of the north
ern part of the state that in past years
should have carried an assessment
escaped and the owners were those
benefited while the counties lost; that
timber companies have escaped tax
alton on their timber for various other
reasons and that where there was
claimed to be no standing timber there
were and are in fact excellent stands of
timber.
The northern ldaho assessors are III
the present night for a maintainence
of their assessment on this timber with
determination and propose to prove
what they claim to be the facts dis
covered since the cruises were made
Included among the assessors who are
here to check up this matter are Wyatt
of Nez Perce, Won Cannon of Bonner
Martinson of Latah, Commissioner
Harrison and Treasurer Hoar of Lewis
county together with d. E. Hodge EN-
ployed as counsel by the commission
ers of Nez Perez county, Commits
sioners Wilson and Mcintyre of Lataf
county and others.
