Washington = President Wilson's
suggestions to congress Monday in his
trust address that the government and
business men are ready to meet each
other half way lin a common effort to
square business methods with both
public opinion and the law fell on
attentive ears and struck respon-
sive chord in representatives of diff
ferent parties.
The atmosphere of cooperation and
accommodation in the message" the
reforms proposed expressed in terms
of conservatism and the spirit of
friendliness to supersede antagonism
in dealing with big business which
dominated the presidents thoughts
aroused expression of approval from
all sides. Few discordant notes were
sounded in comments from members
of congress who are to pass legislation
urged to prohibit monopoly and hold
men of business within the law.
Throughout the delivery of the ad-
dress the assembled senators and rep
resentatives listened intently to every
word applauding frequently when the
president began enumeration of evils
which he believed needed remedying.
commission to facilitate business and
keep it in the straight path; the rec
ommendation of laws to prohibit in
Z terlocking directorates and holding
companies; suggestions for authority
to regulate railroad securities for an
act that would fix guilt upon individ-
uals instead of furnishing business,
and that the courts be opened to indiv-
iduals harmed by illegal business-all
of these were received with general
approval, evidently by enthusiastic APP
plause.
Before the plaudits of his audience
had ceased and as the president was
passing from the house chamber,
where his successive appearances
since last April have contributed to
the nations history his utterances
had precipitated action.
Representative Underwood major
ity leader of the house, was the first
to act AS soon as the house recon-
vened after the joint session held to
hear the president, he offered a mo-
ton to refer to the interstate and for
eign commerce committe, the sugges-
tions for the creation of an interstate
trade commission and for a law en-
powering the interstate commerce
commission to regulate the issuance of
railroad securities and to refer to the
committee on Judiciary those propc7
sails relating to legislation DESIGNED to
supplement but not to amend the Sher-
man antitrust act. This motion was
adopted and it was announced later
that both committees would begin
work at once and arrange for public
hearings The action of the house in
referring portions of the message to
the interstate and foreign commerce

ASSESSOR NOW ON
1914 ASSESSMENT
All Land on Tract Has Been
Cruised and Classified
ASSESSMENT OF COUNTY WILL BE
COMPLETED EARLY IN SEASON.
Valuation Has Been Placed on Land
and Lots in the Towns at a C0nser-
yatiye Cash Value.

All property in Idaho is assessable
on the second Monday in January for
the ensuing years taxes. On that day
Mr.. Beauchamp, the assessor, appoint
ed his field deputies for the entire
county and they are now at work
The assessment of the entire county
can be completed much earlier than
in former years, and at less expense,
as the regular office force will do con-
siderable of the field work before
starting to transfer the field assess
ments to the tax rolls.
The following deputies have been
appointed to assess land:
Oren Dolen, for Kimberly district
and east to Miner.
John R. Ault, for Twin Falls and
Filler district.
A. j. Mills, for Buhl and Castleford
district.
Ray Beauchamp, for Salmon River
tract.
The following deputies will assess
city property:
George Wilcox, additions to Twin
Falls and suburban acreage.
E. A. Pearce, city of Buhl.
w. e. Palmer, city of Twin Falls,
eilSo Il litl, INilHbGliS, IlplllSttl dllt
smaller towns.
The above named deputies are all
experienced in the field work and
everything possible will be done to
give every taxpayer a just and equit-
able assessment
Since the 1913 assessment was
made, all the land under the Twin
Falls South Side canal has been care
| fully cruised and classified by 40s and
a value placed on each 40 acres for
assessment, which will properly
| equalize it with all other lands in the
| county.
| All property in the county is being
assessed at conservative cash value
as required by law, the following list
showing the assessed values in the
various parts of the county for 1914:
Suburban acreage adjoining Twin
Falls, at from $4,000 to $4,000 pei
acre.

All good land on the Twin Falls
tract is steadily advancing in value,
while poor or rocky land is in little
demand and at low prices. 1t is
therefore only just that thes good land
be assessed much higher than the
poor land.
All land on the Salmon River tract
is being assessed at low values, be-
cause of the, present uncertainty OF
the water supply for this land
The assessor believes it good policy
to encourage improvements of all
kinds in the county, and is assessing
all buildings on little lower basis
than real estate.
Twin Falls and Buhl city property
assessments are being slightly re-
duced from last year, except in GER
tain locations where it is necessary to
hold present values to equalize the as
.sessment The following list shows
the assessed cash value for lots in
various parts of Twin Falls.

TWIN FALLS CAFE OPENED
The Interior is Newly Finished and
the Furnishings Are New.

The Twin Falls Cafe, which was
badly damaged by fire some time ago
was reopened for business the last OF
the week. The interior of the building
has been re-finished throughout and
new furniture has been added by the
proprietors The cafe is now one of
the neatest places in the city
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1914-01-23

The assessor feels that values on
land and city property as outlined
above are as low as they can possibly
be made without going contrary to the
spirit of the law which provides that
all property shall be assessed at its
full cash value.
The assessor is in no way RESPONSE
Bile for high taxes and if the present
assessment was lowered Is per cent it
would not necessarily lower taxes tn
that extent as the tax. 1evies would
necessarily be higher in the same prc-
portion in order to raise sufficient
funds to maintain the schools and
other departments of government.
