Consultation Over
County Division
TO ASSIST REPRESENTATIVES
Success OF Measure On I've Of Meeting OF Legis-
IatuTe Seems To Be Assured

A meeting was held at the
Kootenai Inn Monday evening to
gather up the loose ends of the
county division matter and to get
everything in readiness to bring
ii before the legislature at Boise.
10 had been intended to make the
meeting a reception for so many
of the Kootenai county legisla-
tive delegation as it would be
possible to get together and it
was expected that Senator Frazier
and Representatives Kiger, Hunt
and Hull would be present. The
closing of navigation on the river
however, prevented the appear
ance of the representatives from
the north end Of the county and
Mr.. Hunt was so busy clearing up
matters and getting ready to go
to Boise that it was inconvienient
for him to be present. The re-
ception idea was therefore given
up and the gathering was turned
into a meeting to make arrange
ments for the work to be done be-
fore the legislature.
The county division committee
reported that arrangements had
been made for Charles Leaf of
Fernwood to go to Boise and as
sist the delegation in working for
the passage of the bill. 1t was
also reported tha, the bill had
been drafted and was ready for
Mr.. Hull to take with him when
he goes to Boise.
The entire situation was dis
cussed and those present were in
formed of the support already
lined up for the measure and all
Opposition that might by any pos
sibility arise was discussed and
ways and means for overcoming
this possible opposition suggest
ed.
After carefully going over the
situation from all possible angles
those present were of the opin-
ion that things could not look
brighter and that the passage of
the measure is assured. Mr..
Hull stated that of the four other
county division measures that
have been brought to his atten-
ton and that will come before
the legislature, not one, with the
possible exception of the division
lof Bonner county, had made the
showing or had the prospects OF

Large Attendance
At Movable School
FARMERS SHOW MUCH INTEREST
hog Raising And Dairyine We're Subjects Dis
CusSed At First Days Sessions

The Farmers Movable School
which opened in this city yes
tcrday promises to be a very sue
cessful one. The attendance yes
terday was larger that that of
any day of the school last year.
Practically all of those present
at the session were farmers and
they took great interest in the
lectures.
Professors E. J. Iddings and
f. V. Ellington of the agricul-
tural school of the State Univer-
sity at Moscow were present and
conducted the school. The sub
iect taken up was the raising of
hogs and the principal lecture
was by Prof. lddings, who dis
cussed the kind of hogs that are
the most profitable TO raise in
this section, the kind of feed
while growing and the best
method of fattening them for the
market.
Prof. Ellington told how to
pick a winner and gave the
points that should be looked for
when getting hogs. He also
talked on dairy COWS and showed
how dairying could be made pro-
iitable in this section. His lee
ture received marked attention
from those present as dairying is
just beginning to be taken up
among the farmers o. this sec
tion and they are all very much
interested in the question.
Prof. Ellington will take up
the question more fully today in
his lecture on "Our Creamery, 81
the creamery, cooperation, the
test, production an the profits
This lecture should be Of more
than usual interest by reason of
the creamery which was started
here last year
The school held here last year
aroused such an interest and was
talked about so much among the
farmers that not only those who
attended last year, but their
friends and neighbors as we'll,
are anxious to attend this year
and are making it a point to be
present in spite of the deep snow
and the difficulty in getting into
town. From present indications
the professors in charge Of the
school will have no reason to find
fault with the interest taken in
it.

stamp tax on the notarial ac-
knowledgements thereon.
Certified copies of the records
in your Office require a f0c stamp
for the certificate, if such certi-
fled copies are made at the request
and for the benefit of private par
ties, as they are uudoubtedly GER
tiiicates which are required by
law to be given when called for.
In reply to your last question,
Is the Acknowledgement on any
instrument which is not of itself
taxable, subject 90 ten cent
stamp?' you are advised that
this question cannot be absolute
ly answered in the Affirmative.
For instance, deeds where the
consideration passing is 800 or
less in value, are not taxable:
mortgages are not taxable, and it
has been held in both of these
cases that notarial certificates OF
acknowledgement thereon do not
require stamping; in other words
that such instruments are entire
ly exempt from the stamp tax.
In the case of other instruments
not themselves taxable, however,
ii is a general rule that if they
require a notarial certificate or
acknowledgement in order to be
recorded, such certificates re-
Iquire the 10c stamp.
1t is regretted that this Office
is at present unable to advise you
with entire certainty as to the
stamp Requirements on every
class Of instruments, but as the
department has ruled on very
few of the questions arising un-
der Schedule A of the present
emergency act, this will be i'm
possible for the time being. In
the meanwhile, we must all be
guided by the light Of former de-
cisions, and such deductions
herefrom as appear reasonable
under the recent act.

instruments Requiring
Revenue Stamps

County Auditor d. E. Dandy
has received from r. w. Butler,
county auditor at Spokane, a copy
o. a communication from d. j.
Williams, collector of internal
revenue at Tacoma, relative to
points in doubt as to the appli-
cability Of the war tax law.
This communication, like pre-
viOus ones from collectors Of
fees in the northwest indicates
the higher department officials
have been and still are as much
at sea as to the operation of the
war" tax as the collectors and
state and county officials.
The communication is here
published for its value of infor-
nation to the general public:
This Office is in receipt of yours
Of the 18th instant relative to the
taxaibility of certain instruments
and of the notarial certificates OF
acknowledgement thereon. Pre-
vious advices to you on this sub
ject were based on the informa-
ton then at hand, since which
time, however, several changes il
rulings have been made by the
department. 1t is now held thai

ial certificate, is entirely exempt

division has.
The question of finances was
brought up and it was stated that
IL will be necessary to raise some
more money for the purpose Of
paying Mr.. Leafs expenses while
at Boise and to be prepared to
meet any emergency that may
arise.
C. L. Grice of Avery, one Of the
representatives elected from Sho-
shone county, was present at the
meeting and gave his assurance
that he was heartily in favor of
lBenwah county division and will
do all in his power to help pass
the bill.

Council Works On
Water Problem

The city council met in special
session Thursday evening to
consider the water question that
has been claiming the attention
OF the members for the past few
days to the exclusion of almost
every thing else.
Acting Mayor Trummel report
ed that the pump had been in

using the boiler at the mill to fur
nish steam, that there had been
trouble with the arch but that
had been fixed and that he be-
lieved there would be no trouble
hereafter in furnishing sufficient
water for adequave fire protec-
tion. He also reported that the
water at the intake on Thorn
creek is now running over the
dam but that when the water was
so low it had frozen in the pines
and there is none running into
the reservoir.
1t was decided to have Engineer
Sawyer of Spokane, who has had
charge Of the installation of the
pump, go over the pipe line from
Thorn creek and ascertain, if
possible, where the pipes are
frozen and whether it will be
practicable to thaw them out.
FAR progress is being made in
thawing out the mains in the i'm
provement district by the use Of
electricity and it was decided to
continue This method as far as
possible until all Of the mains are
thawed out.

Will Write History =
OF ST. Maries

Prof. A. H. Burton, teacher Of
history in the Portland high
school, has been spending a few
days in this city. He was one
Of the old timers in st. Maries,
having taught schooI here in 1901
and 1902. While teaching here
he took up a homestead on the
st. Maries river and made this
his home for a number of years.
During this time he was princi-
pal of the Wardner-Kellogg
school and later taught in Spo-
kane, going from there to Port
land.
He has always had a fondness
for st. Maries and his present
visit here was partially TO visit
old friends and partially to gather
material for history Of old
times in st. Maries which he is
writing and which will be pub
lished soon. He left Monday
evening for Spokane to have an
interview with Joseph Fisher who
was among the first settlers of
st. Maries and will go to Occur
d'Alene to examine some old rec
ords relating to the place.

COenf Aleue, mas Deen DuSy IOf
the past few days outlining the
work which he intends to try and
accomplish in the coming session
Of the legislature.
In speaking of the matter he
said:
1T seems to me that there is
no question that our taxes are
much higher than they ought to
be. The reason for high taxes
is that we have too many laws
they are too complicated; too
many Offices ana commissions
have been created, and the law is
so enacted that no one person or
officer can be held responsible for
conditions.
'As an example of requiring
too much to be done, take the
case of assessment of real prop
erty every year. There are over
25O,OOO individuaf pieces of real
property in the state of Idaho.
Last year it cost over 43 cents to
assess each piece of property, or
a total of $iO7,5OO. There are
very few states that assess prop
erty every year. A great major
ity of the states assess such prop
erty only once during a period of
from two to six years. There is
at least one state that assesses
such property every 10 years. If
our state law was amended,
making it necessary to asses real
property only once in four years,
based upon the cost of assess
ment last year of SiO7, 500, a saw
ing of $322,500 would be affect
ed every four years or about S81, -
600 a year would be saved.
Again, the cost of sending
out tax notices under the present
system is enormus, and it serves
very little purpose. It costs
about 10 cents per notice to print
it, hire the help to put on the
various lewis, and pay for the
stamps in sending out the vari-
Gus individual notices. Multi
, plying the number of pieces of
property in the state by the
amount it costs to send out the
Individual notices we find that it
costs the 33 counties in the state
$25, 900 a year to send out such
notices. The list of the tax
payers of the county, together
with the description of their
property and the amount of the
taxes assessed and to be paid
could be printed in the official
county paper for from 40 to so
per cent of what it now costs to
send out the present notices.
Should we adopt the method Of
publishing such statement in our
papers, we would save about $751;
600 a year. However, such a
saving is not the only purpose to
be derived from such publi-
cation. 1t is a matter of COM
mon knowledge or belief that
every person is not assessed
what he should be, and that
when one person escapes a por-
ton of his just taxes, his neigh
Dor must make up for the short
age. So that, if this publicity
plan was adopted, no assessor
would be so foolish, incompetent
and unwise as to assess one per-
son, firm, or corporation more
than another person firm, or cor
poration owing land of equal val
ne.
Another expensive piece of
legislation is that which re-
quires the election Of officers
every two years, and which calls
for other special elections at
times other than tne general ell
ection. In this city and county
during two years, including the
holding Of the next city election,
we will have held two city cleo
tions, a school election, a local
option election, a primary cleo
ton and a general election. Sta
tistics will show that on a aver
age, these elections cost one dol
