| "As an illustration OF the effect of
the work of Mr. French, in Latah
county there are approximately 10000
acres more land subject to taxation
this year than last year. At the sug-
gestion Of Congressman French. 1
wrote to the assessor of Latah county
and told him that approximately 10000
acres of these lands had been patented
in his county; and this land is, for the
first time, now subject to taxation
This is true of Clearwater county also,
and to smaller degree it is true of
nearly all the other counties. This Is
a tremendous work and 1t takes time
and attention to get all this land pat
ented In Clearwater county alone,
there are approximately 375,000 acres
of privately owned land. owned mostly
by the Northern Pacific, that has
heretofore not been taxed. Within
year or two, If Mr. French can con-
tinue to have charge of this matter /
believe that practically all this land
will be subject to taxation.
1T will be understood that a great
deal of this land is unsurveyed. Mr.
French got a sufficiently large appro-
priation through congress to enable
the department to take up the work
of surveying the land. At this time
there are IL surveying parties in Idaho
engaged in surveying this land. At
this rate it will not be long until all
this land will be surveyed and patents
will issue.
Il have been engaged in this work
since the spring of 1911. The county
commissioners of the entire state, tax
| payers leagues and farmers unions
are awake to the Importance of what
this work means to Idaho. l have no
desire to attempt to make any political
capital. In justice to Congressman
French, however / feel that I should
| tell the truth about his work in this
connection. His work for Idaho, as
have already stated, Is the most impor
tant for every taxpayer in the state
that has ever been done. He deserves
credit for 1t. I believe l know what
this work is. I am anxious that it be
pushed forward to early completion.
1 have spent my time and my money
and paid my own expenses in gather
| Ing facts and information upon which
| this work can be carried forward to a
successful completion. 1t is my ear
nest and sincere wish that Mr.. French
remain in Washington until all this
land Is patented, because l know that
he understands 1t better than anyone
else, and I know that his heart and
soul are In this great undertaking.
This statement Is being given by my
self without any suggestion or request
of any kind from Mr.. French. I am
making this statement because l know
that Mr.. French is entitled to the ever
lasting gratitude of the people of Ida
no for what he has done and is doing"
