EQUITY ON HOMESTEADS
is ASSESSABLE PROPERTY

The supreme court has just handed
down decision which is of direct
import to the many settlers on vari-
Gus land propositions throughout the
southern part of Idaho.
The equity of a homesteader in the
government land he has filed upon is
taxable property" as provided for
under the provisions of sections 2. 3
and OF article 7 of the state constitu-
ton, and section one session laws
1918. Homestead property therefore
can be taxed. This is in brief the i'm
portant ruling of the supreme court
OF this state in the appealed case of
k. L. Cheney versus Minidoka county
ct al. The opinion reverses Judge c.
y. Stockslager, judge of the Fourth
judicial district court. The appeal
came before the supreme court in the
form of an action to restrain Mini
toka county from levying and collect
ing taxes on Cheney'S interest or
equity in government land filed on by
him in the Minidoka project, under
the reclamation act.
Facts in Case.
Cheney filed on the land Nov. a.
l9U4, under the terms of the act, of
tered evidence to the government he
had complied with the law in the mat
ter of cultivation and improvements
and secured a certificate from the
United States that his proof had been
accepted. He also paid his water in
stallments, established residence on
the land, making improvements.
The assessor of Minidoka county
levied an assessment upon the equit-
able interest Of Cheney in the land
under the direction of tn commits
sioners of that county, who held the
equity of homesteader in govern
ment land should bear its share of
taxation. Cheney declined to pay the
taxes and to prevent his property be-
ing sold to satisfy the taxes appealed
to the courts to restrain him from do
ing so.
The trial court held that the equity
of the plaintiff in the land was not
assessable and entered a decree per-
petually enjoining and restraining the
collection of taxes.

Grievance Committee on the Boise
Project.
Reclamation Record.

Not the least interesting or valuable
institution on the Boise project, Ida
no, is the grievance committee, and it
is believed that similar organizations
mig hit with propriety be formed on
projects
other projects.
three members, one each from the
upper, middle and lower sections of
the project. A special meeting is held
on the second Tuesday of each month
in the morning of the day "a ointed
for the regular meeting of the Water
Users Association. Any person hav-
ing grievance against the Reclama-
ton Service, the Water Users Asso-
citation, or any official may bring his
grievance before the committee at
this time. The grievance must be sub
mittd in writing, and all persons in
terested are notified to be present at
some future date, usually on the day
OF the next meeting, when the grie-
vance will be considered. After full
consideration, with all parties to the
grievance present, the committee re-
ports 10 the full board of the associa-
ton either at the afternoon meeting
or at the next regular meeting
A few examples of grievances con
sidered by the committee are illumi-
mating. 1t frequently occurs that,
from an engineering standpoint, a
lateral might just as we'll be located
on one side or the other of the proper
ty line common to two water users,
and it frequently occurs that neither
water user wishes the lateral placed
on his side. The committee looks the
location over in the field and recon-
mends to the board of directors what
action shall be taken.
In recent case claim was made for
a considerable amount of money for
damage from seepage to about acres
of 40-acre unit, accompanied by a
request that the entire 40 be purchas-
ed by the service at 500 an acre. Ey-
idence showed that the land had been
purchased as a speculation, and at the
time of the grievance and claim made
against the service had not been
placed in cultivation and was covered
with sagebrush. The grievance COM
mittee recommended that the land
should not be purchased, but that a
ditch should be extended, one-half
mile to relieve the 8 acres which had
been seeped and water-l logged. This
recommendation was sustained by the
board OF directors and the association.
Another case in which the grievance
committee was called upon to act with

BANKERS OF NAMPA ARE
FOUND GUILTY
AS CHARGED

{. L. Lore, cashier, and J. A. Civ
ems, vice president and manager of the
detunct bank of Nampa were found
guilty of the crime charged The Jury
returned verdict Friday night after
being out three hours and fifteen min
utes. Monday morning Judge Bryan
sentenced the two men to serve from
six months to three years at hard
labor in the state penitentiary. No
tice OF appeal to the supreme court
was filed by counsel fon the defend
ants. The required bond in the sum
OF $1,000 for Mr.. Givens was signed
by d. w. Standrod of Pocatello; c..
A. Roberts and George Bumgarner
of Nampa.
Mr.. Lore made no appeal and has
entered upon his term in the penitcn-
tiary.
The charge on which the former
Nampa bankers were tried and con-
victed was that of making false re-
ports to the state bank examiner.
They were held for trial after an in
vestigation OF the affairs of the bank
after its failure.
In the first trial Of Givens and Lore
the jury disagreed, but in their second
appearance in court the Jury, after
about three hours deliberation, re-
turned verdict of guilty. Because of
the prominence Of the defendants, par
ticularlv of Mr.. Givens, who with his
father, DR.. ], w. Owens of Orofno,
and his brother, Raymond l.. Givens
of Boise, are we'll known throughout
both northern and southern Idaho,
the case has attracted statewide atten-
ton.
Lore Bids for Sympathy.
Both defendants received their SEN
fences without apparent show Of en-
otion. Mr. Givens had nothing to saw
and calmly resumed the persual of his
paper Immediately after sentence was
pronounced. Mr.. Lore told of the
mental strain under which he was la
boring when he affixed his signature
to the alleged false statement of April
4, 1918, due to the protracted illness
and death of his only son. He admit
ted that under these circumstances he
may have been in error in making up
his report to the state bank commits
sioner
The trial occupied the time of
the. district court in Canyon county,
Judge Bryan presiding, for seven
days. The former trial Of the
Nampa bankers on the same charge
was without verdict, the jury dis
agreeing.
Counsel for the defense and the
state rested Thursday night, and the
Friday sessions were taken up with
the closing arguments. Attorneys
Hawley, Walters, Thompson and
Lingenfelter addressed the jury in be-
half of the defendants.
County attorney Henry, who suf-
fered the brunt of the defense's attack
owing to the illness of the assistant
prosecutor, W. A. Stone, made the
principal arguments for the case of the
state.
Attorney Breaks Down.
Mr.. Stone, while speaking in rebuff
tai and closing the case for the state
was taken suddenly i'll, and suffering
complete collapse, had to be helped
from the court room, The prosecu-
ton was closed by Mr.. Henry.

Bulge the Logical Man.

Governor Haines went ahead and
Alfred F. Bulge, jude of the Fifth
Judicial District, now serving his sec
ond term. At the last cleo
ton of a Judge in this district
Judge Bulge had no opposition at all.
He has given great satisfaction in the
district and when called to sit in the
supreme court and in other courts
throughout the state has impressed all
with his fairness as a man; knowledge
as a lawyer and wisdom as a Judge
He is extremely popular with the
masses; greatly esteemed by the prac-
ticioners in his court; and generally
respected by all.
At the last election the Neople of
Idaho indicated very plainly that
they wished the three justices of the
supreme court to come from as many
sections of the state. When Judge
Morgan ascends the bench north
Idaho will be represented in him; the
west and central section of the state
is represented Judge Sllivan whose
home was at Haley when he was
elected a justice. An equitable dis
tribution demanded that the third
position go to the southeast. In the
whole southeast there is no man who

Mix-up in Judgeship.

Before his term OF Office
expired Governor Haines has
appointed a member of the
supreme court. Prior to the election
there were two vacancies in the court
one of which was caused by the death
of Judge Stewart; tn other by the
resignation of Judge Ailshie. One Of
these vacancies was filled by the APP
pointment of Judge Truitt He, how
ever, will be succeeded by Judge Nor
gan, which still left vacancy as
Judge Truitt was appointed to fill the
unexpired term OF Judge Ailshie.
A peculiar situation has come to
light iii view of the fact that between
$500 and 1000 votes were cast for w.
w. Holden of idaho Falls in Bannock
and BONNEVILLE counties specifically
for the place left vacant by the death
of Judge Stewart. EIr Holden con
tends that since Judge Stewart died
81 days prior TO the election and it
was the duty of Governor Haines to
issue a proclamation that the position
be filled by BALLOT and that since
no such proclamation has been is
sued he has been elected.
The law provides for the filling of
vacancies that occur by death as to
party offices, but since the position of
supreme court justice is one to be
filled on the nonpartisan ticket the
election machinery is apparently in
adequate.
It Mr. Holden brings up the ques-
ton OF his election several other ques-
tons are likely to follow. 1t will
probably be contended that the bal
hts on which the stickers were used
were mutilated and should be thrown
out as to the non-partisan ticket such
action would probably affect the plu-
rality of Justice-elect Morgan but it
is not believed it would threaten his
election.

That p. G. Johnson of Blackfoot,
Bingham county, is to be the next
speaker of the house is the belief
among the best posted who keep the
general run of such things. There
are sveral reasons for thinking this,
and the best reason is that Johnson
is the man best fitted for the place
Another is that he is the dean of the
house and will have served the great
est length of time in the house of all
members. and then again he comes
from southeastern Idaho, which sec
ton saved the state" and as most of
the republican members of the house
are from his section the whole will
affect a combination that it will be
hard to beat,

candidates in the race, Charles +.
