PATENTED LANDS ON BOISE
PROJECT ARE ASSESSABLE
So Judge Dietrich Decides in Case
Brought Against Canyon County.

Those settlers on the Boise project
of the United States reclamation ser
vice who have received a patent fol
their lands, whether it be what i:
known as reclamation patent OF
| otherwise, must pay taxes on their
land, according to a ruling made by
Judge Dietrich in the United States
court Monday in the case of the Unit.
ed States against the officials of Can
yon county, brought for the purpose
of restraining the county from impos-
ing taxes on lands the title to which is
still vested in the government. Under
the reclamation act of 1912 settlers
who has completed their residence,
cultivation and irrigation proof, but
had not fully paid up on their water
rights, were given what is called
reclamation patents" which give the
government a prior and paramount
lien on the lands for the unpaid waite,
rights. After hearing argument on
the defense's motion to dismiss the
case, Judge DIETRICH held that the
lands of the holders of such patents
were properly taxable.
AS To Unpatented Land.
X
of settlers-those who have made
residence proof but have not proved
up on cultivation or irrigation, tbs
court took the question of their liabi-
ETY. to taxation under advisement,
their status being different to those
who hold patents.
Contention of Defense.
In support of its motion to strike
and dismiss, the defense argued tina,
the interests of the settlers in the
homesteads was private property and
was so recognized by state and federal
authorities; that it was not a possess
sorry right within the meaning of the
exemption; that the United States was
not the proper party to bring the ac-
ton; that the settlers on the Boise
project were indispensable and neces-
sary parties to an action to enjoin the
collection of taxes. The lien of the
United States upon the lands as Sc
curity for the payment of water rights
it was contended, was prior and SUI
perior lien and would be so recogniz-
ed in the event of tax sale. If the
people were not permitted to tan
themselves for the maintenance of
their schools and the improvement of
their roads, they would suffer through
lack of progress, and the burden of
taxation would be unfairly distribut-
ed. To exempt the land from taxa
ton until patent was issued would
amount to 20 years exemption in the
case of those whose final payments
would not be due until that time.
Purpose of Action.
The action was brought for the pur-
pose of settling a question that has
been in dispute in Idaho ever since the
government reclamation projects be-
gan to settle up. 1t has been before
the courts in two cases, neither of
which are identical with the Canyon
county action. Several important le-
gal points are involved. The decision
of Judge Dietrich on Monday disposes

DEER FLAT POTATO MITE
MAY NOT BE DANGEROUS

That the potato mite that destroyed
one field on Deer Flat need not cause
growers much apprehension is the
opinion of Project Agriculturist Ire
land. Mr.. Ireland said that the mite
had been discovered no other place
than the one field, and that he did not
look for any recurrence of the pest.
The appearance is one of the things
that cannot be explained, as several
other fields from the same shipment
of seed show absolutely no sign of
disease.
