COUNTY LEVY
IS NOW FIXED
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FIXED
THE 1914 LATAH COUNTY LEVY
AT 90 MILLS.
The Total Valuation in the County is
$1,OOO,0OO Lower Than Last Year,
Taxes be About the Same

The county board has fixed the 1914
| tax levy in Latah county at 90 mills
an increase of one mill over the 1913
tax levy. The levy was made this
year on an estimated valuation OF
$21 100000 while the levy in 1913 was
made on a basis of $22 100000. Thus
it is regarded that the amount raised
by taxation will be no greater in 49,
! than it was in 1913.
The state levy in Latah county was
increased one-tenth of a mill this year
while the road levy in the county was
decreased one-tenth of mill The
general school levy was increased one
mill this year. Heretofore the levy for
general school purposes has been kept
down to a minimum of two mills and
has necessitated the various school
districts of the county making special
levies for school purposes. Through
the raising of the general school levy
this year, about 40 of the 100 school
districts of the county will not have to
make special levies while the other
60 districts will not find it necessary
to make a special levy in as great an
amount as they have in past years.
Under the plan the general school
funds are distributed over the county
and makes more uniform distribu-
tion.
The three mill levy Will raise the
sum of $63 900 while the county school
fund will receive from the state the
sum of $1S,4S5 and it is estimated that
fines, etc, will bring in an additional
sum of $4,000, making a total for the
general school fund of $S4,485. The
school enumeration of Latah county is
estimated at 6S21 and the per capita
will be $12.39 The total levy in the
county will raise the sum of $193,20O.
The following is a comparative table
of the 1913 and 1914 levies.

Story OF the Book

"The story of the book can best be
told | think, by three or four ex-
tracts from letters sent to me by Pro-
fesor Burr. He was the most helpful
and inspiring teacher | ever had. It
was his faith in men and his encour-
agement that made the book possible.
In his remarkable Autobiography,
Andrew D. White who was the first
president of Cornell and who was
the American ambassador to Germany
in 1879-81, and our ambassador to Rus
sia in 1924, has this to say about
Professor Burr: OF all the historical
scholars | have ever known. Pro-
fessor Burr is among the very fore
most, by his powers of research, his
tenacity of memory, his almost pre-
ternatural accuracy, his ability to keep
the whole field of investigation in his
mind and his fidelity to truth and JUS
tice.' 1t was owing to Professor Burr's
great ability as a historian and to his
unrivalled skill in diplomatics that
the American commissioners in the
Venezuelan boundary dispute with
Great Britain were able to conclude
their labors so successfully.
