HOPE TO REDUCE TAXES.
State Board of Equalization Begin,
Sessions This Week,

The state board of equalization
convened here last Tuesday for IT'S
three weeks session. Although the
assessed valuation of property in the
state, as returned by county assess
ors, will total approximately the same
as last year, it is confidently expected
that the state tax levy will be reduced
considerably.
The general fund levy raised to
the extreme statutory limit of three
mills last year, to meet the extraor-
binary large appropriations made by
the 1913 legislature, and then fell
some 100000 short of providing
enough revenue. This year the board
must take the former shortage into
consideration, but in spite of this. il
Is expected that the general fund levy
will be lowered materially. The pub.
lie highway levy, which last year was
LBS mills, will be reduced to one mill
this year.

Ellis G.. Rhode of Monroe has been
engaged as athletic coach for the To-
cal high school teams. according to
an announcement made by City Sup
erintendent C. e. Beach this week.
Prosecuting attorneys of the var
ious counties will shortly receive
from Secretary of State I. M. Howell
the lists of signers of initiative pc
titions whose signatures were found
to be illegal when the petitions were
checked. The law provides for the
prosecution of the signers, but as
most of the signatures were thrown
out because of apparently uninten-
tian failure to comply with the terms
of the law and not for criminal in
tent, it is not expected that many
prosecutions will be made.
The state supreme court today is
hearing the arguments on the five
initiative petitions carried up to it
from the local superior court on
writs of review, four by the propo-
nents of the measures, the bills
abolishing the state bureau Of in
spection, the state tax commission
and private employment agencies and
the convict road bill, all of which
were ruled out in the lower court,
and the first aid bill, sustained by the
superior court, which was carried up
by the Stop-Look-Listen league.
Superior Judge Mitchell last Satur-
day denied the contention of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroads that about 100000 of the
valuation of their property on the
1913 assessment rolls was an assess
ment on good will" and consequent
ly not taxable, and supported the
states demurrer claiming that the
assessment was permissible and legal.
None of the occupants were injured

Braun was sentenced to serve four
years in the federal penitentiary in

by the judge for giving the advice that
resulted in the changed plea. Mrs.
