day, rival guardians were appointed,
one OF them, c. T. Fraley, in Carter
county, the other, r. p Brewer, here.
Fraley Immediately sold a thirty
acre oil lease to Jake l.. Hamon,

$500. The same Iease was sold by
Brewer to Wrightsman & Crosbie of

at Ardmore, appeared on his behalf,
while l.. X. Founders, who received

,sant with educational matters and tina,
the matter was of as much importance
Ito ether counties of the state as tt
Latah. We, therefore, requested the
Department of Education of the Uni
lversity to cooperate with US in max
ing thorough investigation. Profes
sor Soulen, head of the Department.
lof Education at the University, is nov
making survey of this county anC
lother counties of the state At some
cuture date We hope that Professor
Soulen will be able to point out to us
where this and the other counties OF
the state may be able to cut down this
great cost of educating our children.
AS to the great increase this year
or school purposes we are not in 3
position at this time to give the rea-
Ison therefor other than the point
brought out at our last meeting, that
there has undoubtedly been raised an
unnecessary amount in some of thu
districts of the county owing to an err
ror made upon the part of the boards
land the voters of the various dis
Itricts, voting special levies far in eX-
|cess of their needs. We know this
Ito be true in several instances. Hence
1.-THE remarks in reference to watching
the use of the excess and for suggest
ling the economy in the use thereof
are pertinent on this point. In refer
Ience to the increase shown for cities
and villages we are not in position
Ito explain at this time. The city Of
Moscow has made levies for 1918 much
larger than for any previous year AS
Ito the need thereof, we will state that
this question will be taken up in our
report upon our investigation of the
finances of the city. 1t is not within
the province of this committee to make
of other cities and vii
llages of the county. Some of the in
lcrease noted, as pointed out before, is
Undoubtedly due to error resulting in
lexcessive levies, the same as in the
Ischool districts. We are advised that
lin our neighborhood city of Hendricks
they have raised sufficient money this
year to carry on the city business fQl
j period of three years. We note by
the papers that the city council has
called meeting of the tax payers fol
the purpose of determining what to dc
with this surplus money. They are
considering the advisability of improv'
ling their streets Herewith, or return
ling a part of the money to the tax
payers, or placing the money out al
Interest. We understand that there
are several other towns and villages II
the same position as our neighboi
Kendrick. We citizens of Moscow are

to correct a statement / made at the
1911 show that there was considerable
more expense for the majority of Of
fees than during the previous or sub
sequent year. / attributed this to the
fact that our receipts that year were
much larger than usual and money be-
ing freer there was tendency to
spend more along all lines. Upon
further investigation we find that ow-
ing to a change made In the end Of the
fiscal year by legislature that there
was included in the figures of that
year the expenditures for fifteen
months, consequently the increase
shown. The next source of outgo for
our money is for roads. During the
year 1910 we expended thereon $4O,-
509.92; in 1911, $45 ,89O.63, in 1912, $751;
440.32. a total of $144, 84O.87 an aver
age of 48,2S0.2s annually for the three
years. These figures are only approxs-
mate and do not represent all the
money expended during the time men,
toned During 1910 and a part of
1911 the old law in reference to the
payment Of road taxes was enforced.
1t was permissible to work out or
pay the road overseers road taxes dur
ing that time. Thus the records do
not show the full amount expended.
The amounts We are spending for
roads are rapidly increasing. So far
this year we have spent $47,919.52.
The third and last source of expendi-
ture as shown by our county records is
for schools. During 1910 we spent for
school purposes $S4,733.93; In 1911,
500, 2O1.20, and in 1912, 1921 ,293.63,
total of $299,228.76 and an annual
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1914-01-30

These figures are approximate,
ound numbers being used for conven-
9nce of expression.
The reason for the small amount
I roads shown in 1910 is due to the
act that collection of road tax for that
ear was under a different law than
nat of following years. Under the old
Nv 1t was permissible to work out or
'Ay the road over-seer special road
-txes. We are calling your attention
the assessed value of the property
L the county. 1t shows an Increase of
We and one-half million dollars in the
last four years. This Is very rapid
,acrease and it is questionable whether
my such increase in the wealth of
the county took place. A considerable
part of the increase is probably due to
increase in value placed on the same
property by the assessors. This in
crease in value has no effect so far as
their taxes are concerned provided
that the increase is equally distributed
over all classes of property within the
county and the property of all counties
is assessed on like basis of valua-
ton; so that the cost of state govern
ment is equitably proportional to the
several counties. The statement is
frequently made that our county as
sessed value is too high, as compared
with other counties. This committee
is not in position to say whether
this is true or not. To determine this
is would be necessary for us to have
the information placed before the
state board of equalization; this is moi
at our disposal.
We will now call your attention tC
the totals for county and state pur-
poses. You will note a great increase
i'm 1911 over 1910 and decrease fol
1912. CHANGING over the figures show.
ing the purposes for which this money
was raised you will observe where the
increase or decrease took place, you
will note that there was a marked in
crease in 1911 for all purposes ex'
cept that of schools, while in 1917
there was a decrease all along the
lime except for the same purpose
there being an increase approximate!
|of $4,000 for school purposes. W.
now come to the consideration Of thu
|great increase of 1918 which was Sc
|forcibly brought to our attention a
Jour last meeting. The figures show al
increase of over $111,000 over 1912
THE question at once arises, why? A
resident of the county explains thu
reason therefor as follows: He say
that 100000 thereof is for the pur
pose of building new SQUIRT House
$4,000 to equip the same; and $500

In glancing over the figures for each
office for several years it will be noted
that the amounts expended hold quite
uniform. There is nothing to indicate
that any of our present officers were
spending any considerable amount
more than their predecessors. There
lis nothing particularly startling shown
lin these figures to cause the committee
Ito believe it necessary for them to
make detailed investigation of any OF
the offices. The average cost of each
office is as follows:
Clerk, $9,O94.54; sheriff, $7,423.26;
assessor, $6,246.64; treasurer, $1,S19.-

|ty poor, $3,92S.O2; county physicians

The figures showing the expense OF
the several offices represent the items
lchargable to what Is known as the
general expense fund. The total
amount taken from this fund during
the past three years are as follows
1910, 50,205.32; 1911,$55, 250.66; 1912

ere III ING COHQltlOn.
In this connection we wish now TO
all attention to the fact that the board
t county commissioners has no dis
dictionary power in the matter of max
ng tax levies for independent school
districts, cities, and villages; but are
bsolutely bound by the levies voted
~ such public corporations. No mat
err how excessive the tax may appear
D be, the commissioners must make
lie levy. In anticipating further ex-
'enditures the fact should not be over
oOked that We are growing commun-
ty, and that we are growing In ideas
we'll as in numbers and wealth, and
this account we may look for a
mall increase in expenditures from
ear to year. In the towns and vii
lges we are calling for and getting
lrger schools, and we hope better
,nes. We want out streets improved
II grading, macadam, or paving. We
want better water works, sewers and
sanitary conditions. In the rural dis
tricts better schools are required and
a little plot of ground for agriculture.
and better grades on the roads and bet
ter roads. We hope that the time will
never come when we will not want
these things. The wish shows pro-
gress; the lack of it stagnation. What
we do want is to know about our tax
to know that they are handled
wisely and we'll, and that we receive
a dollars worth of benefit for the dol
lar spent.
We, therefore, will now take up the
question. of Where does our money
go?" The following figures are taken
from the report of the auditor for the
several years. In 1910 there was re-
oaiyad fror.

lat our last meeting that this increase
was made up of increases for pur
poses approximately as follows:

The figures for 1913 are not available.
These amounts received were dis

To state 1910, $49,66237; 1911, $52,-

lowing figures show how the several
amounts apportioned to the county In
the several years were spent. The
figures in the column headed 1913 re-
