President Wilson'S Stand.

Woodrow Wilson took office as pres
ident of the United States. He declar-
ed that Huerta must not hold office as
president of Mexico; that a presidency
gained by bloodshed and treachery
could not be upheld in any country in
America" This seemed like sheer
talk, for time. Huerta didn't get
out; his government continued in
power. But the passage of a few
weeks showed the force of Wilson's
declarations Huerta sent emmissaries
to Europe to sell an issue of $200,000,
900 (silyer) in bonds. But the Euro
pean bankers said. 1--WE cannot take
these bonds until the United States
recognizes as legal the government es-
tablished by Huerta."
The efforts of Huerta to gain funds
grew more and more desperate. Lead
ers of the people arose against him.
The French revolution has nothing
more grim and terrible to show than
the incidents of the days that follow

home and marched down to the senate

TAX COMMISSION
FAYORS CRUISING
JOHN D. ROBERTSON, SECRETARY
OF COMMISSION, STATES THE
POSITION OF THE BOARD.
Only Opposed to Cruise of Timber for
Assessment Purposes Where Only
Partially Ordered Done.

The Idaho tax commission is not
opposed to the cruising of timber lands
in this state for assessment purposes
as has been enormously stated in press
reports about the state in the past,
though it is admitted by John D. Rob-
ertson, secretary of the tax commits
sion, who is here today, that the board
is somewhat opposed to partial
cruise of timber lands for assessment
purposes because the members believe
that fair and equitable balance can
not be taken unless all the timber is
cruised.
I'VE are desirous of correcting the
impression that has been given wide
circulation in the northern end of the
state relative to the position of the
Idaho tax commission with reference
to cruising timber lands for assess
ment purposes" said Mr.. Robertson.
"On the 18th of October meeting OF
the assessors and commissioners of
the northern counties was called at
Moscow and an invitation. extended to
the Idaho tax commission to be rep
resented at the meeting. The purpose
of the meeting was to discuss the ad-
visibility of cruising the timber lands
of the north to determine their value
for assessment purposes. The COM
being unable to attend sent me
as their representative and advised me
as the position they took.
Il stated to the meeting that the |
Idaho tax commission strongly favor
ed the cruising and classification OF
all kinds of property believing that un-
til this was done we never could ar
rive at that uniformity of value that
the law required. They believed that
when this was done it should be
done in all the counties as well as on
all classes of property, to do other
wise would bring about inequalities be-
,ween counties as well as between diff
'erent classes of property. Their only
objection to having this done at this
ime, was that the people were carry
ng tax burden enough, and until a
aw was passed compelling all coun-
les to act along the same line, it could
,nly result in placing counties that did
ruise and classify its property upon
IN unfair footing with the counties,
furthermore they did not favor :,
ruising and classifying one class OF
property with view of assessing it

edure was taken to determine the full :
