that the editor of the Republican

what vast quantities of garden seed,
such as this section can profitably
grow, are annually imported into the
Uuited States from foreign countries.
We gave government statistics to
prove our statements a. to importa-

worth vast sums, could be raised in
Clearwater county. We then believed,
even though new in Clearwater
county, that We were talking sense,

and in perfect time with the orchestra.
The changes from one movement to

there was enough of variety to con-
vince anyone that Mr.. Wheeler is no
novice at the business.
Ralph Schriver, on the Xylophone,
rendered a solo, and responded to an
encore, which was also pleasing. The

Governor Alexander HolIers for Help

The editor of the Republican has
been invited to attend state conven-
tion at Boise on December q for the
discussion of the various vexed ques-
tions of taxation. The job is about
our size, alright, and we'd like to
attend, but where's the price of the
railroad ticket and our hot cakes and
coffee? We note that Governor Nose
Alexander has signed the call for
help, which makes it the more inter-
esting. We'd almost walk from Oro-
fino to Boise to see Nose, and hear
him, as he rubs his hands and gestic-
ulates on how to run the state on
nothing and save one million year.
The idea of this convention of al
the great men originated with the
University of Idaho.

would have had it, art besides there

WHY Not Let Farmers Assess Themselves

the sincerity of Mr.. Kolasa. He
feels that the assessor has not done
his duty. But moments considera-
tion will, if we approach the matter
from the standpoint of the assessor,
convince a fair-n9inded citizens that
the fault may rest on the people them
selves. The assessor and his deputies
cannot search the brush for cattle and
horses. If the owner is disposed to
conceal his property no assessor can
find it all in Clearwater COMFY, with
its vast areas of canyon and brush
lands.
Assessor Hinckley realized this and
made an effort to prevent the very
thing of WHICH Mr.. Kolasa and others
are complaining. He attempted to
arrange school house meetings, two in
the Gilbert country, one Of them
within reach if Mr.. Kolasa, where the
farmers would come together and
assess themselves. Mr.. Hin; kley
wrote a letter to the Farmers Union
at Gilbert suggesting this plan, ano
asking the farmers to arrange the
meetings. The plan, used with success
in other counties, was turned down.
So if Assessor Hinckley has over
looked some property the people may
blame themselves.
So far as the Clearwater Repub
lican is concerned it will once NOR,
suggest community meetings for th'
1916 assessment, where the farmer,
may meet Assessor Hinekley and an.
inequ alities adjusted. The plan ha
been tried out and proven good. N,
man is going before his neighbor
and attempt to- cover up cattle, horse
or the number of acres under cult
walton. His neighhors will not stan
for it.

: The Clearwater Republican begs to
suggest to those who are spending
their time peddling half-truths and
black lies about republican county Off
Gals, attempting to shoulder the re-
sponsibility for high taxes onto the
republicans, that they, not the Clear
water Republican, are responsible for
any continuation of political discus
sion. Every tax receipt bears the
printed levies, showing how the
money collected in taxes is spent.

redemption, and man or. woman

hen knows that warrant redemption
means that eight mills, or one-third
of the total taxes collected is needed
to pay off outstanding county war;
ants. And yet, the plain truth is we
have lot of people going around
bellyaching because the republicans
made taxes high. Here is another
plain truth: In 1914, under Assessor
P. Ii. Blake, there was no uniformity
of valuation. Apparently no uniform
basis of valuations existed during the
Blake regime, fact painfully appar-
ent. For example we know of one
farm with two sets of improvements
that were assessed $65. Property
worth three and four thousand dollars
was valued by Pat Blake, in some in
stances, at one or two hundred. Some
timber claims were assessed far be-
yond any possible value while others,
equally good, were underassessed
There was no uniformity in farm
property, and some who are bowling
the loudest are, the record shows,
people who have enjoyed favoritism al
the expense of their neighbors.
II has been no easy job to in 1
measure bring about some degree OF
uniformity, and the Clearwater Re
