LANDS WILL
SOON BE PATENTED
TWELVE SURVEYING CREWS NOW SURVEYING
UNSURVEYED RAILROAD AND SCRIP
LANDS IN IDAHO
Secretary of Idaho Taxpayers League Says That Con
gresham Burton L. French Is Rendering Invaluable
Aid to Make Two Million Additional Acres Taxable

W B. Compton. former deputy asses
sor Of Clearwater county, and secre-
tay of the Idaho Taxpayers league,
who. for the past ten months, has been
in Washington, D. c.. as the repre-
sentative of the boards Of county COM
missioners of the counties of north
Idaho and the Idaho Taxpayers league,
engaged in the work Of having patents
issued to the lands owned by the rail-
roads Of the state so as to make them
subject to taxation, has returned to
Idaho. and reports that the work is
well under way, and that he expects
that the two million acres of railroad
and scrip land in Idaho, which has
heretofore escaped assessment, will
soon be subject to taxation.
In a conversation in Moscow a few
days ago Mr.. Compton said:
For the past 10 months have been
in Washington City, busily engaged in
trying to have the unsurveyed lands
and the scrip lands in Idaho patented
so as to make them subject to taxa
ton. According to the surveyor gem
eral of Idaho, there are approximately
two million acres of land in Idaho,
owned principally by railroads and
timber companies. that have hereto
fore escaped taxation. A large portion
of this land is owned by the Northern
Pacific railroad. Considerable of the
land is In forest reserves and before
patent can issue it is necessary that
the land be surveyed. In justice to
him, will say that in this work Con-
gresham Burton l.. French has rem
dered invaluable aid. In fact l do not
believe that this work would be nearly
so far advanced had 1t not been for
the fact that Mr.. French furnished me
every assistance. Mr.. French and
worked in entire harmony with Hon.
Clay Tallman, the commissioner of the
general land office, and Mr.. Tallman
assisted us in expediting the work.
Idaho is very fortunate in having Mr.
Tallman in that responsible position at
this time. He has shown that he Is the
true friend of Idaho.
I'm the work before the land office
and before congress and committees of
congress, Mr.. French has willingly fur
nished his time and his assistance in
every matter. l have never gone to
Mr.. French and asked him for informa-
ton and assistance that he was not
willing and anxious to render me every
possible aid. Although Congressman
French has worked very hard on this
matter, there never has been any ad-
vertising or newspaper comment, Civ
ing him credit for it, This work of
Mr.. French is the most important
touching every taxpayer in Idaho that
has ever been undertake for the state
of Idaho. These lands are scattered
over nearly every county in Idaho,
and to the extent that these lands are
made taxable, the taxes on other prop
erty Will be made correspondingly less.
