Boise, August l8.-The state board
of equalization is still labor
inc with the difficult problems
that confronts them. But little has
been given out as a result of their de-
lberations. The Assessors were heard
Monday and Tuesday, the representa-
tivcs of the timber interests put in
their lea for reductions. 1t has been
minated that Canyon county was in
for raise of 10 per cent upon agri-
cultural lands and that Bannock
would be touched up for Is per cent
county is scheduled for a reduction
on agricultural lands.
The timber interests are putting up
a strong plea for a reduction which is
supported by the usual lobby. The
lumber business is at low ebb beyond
any question but the impression pre-
walls that they have always received
very fair consideration in the past and
that they do not have much coming at
this time. This remark does not apply
to Boise and Adams counties, where
there was an extreme raise.
The board early in their delibera-
tons decided to raise the valuations
upon sheep and a ten per cent raise
has been agreed upon.
1t is not believed that any radical
changes will be made in the valuations
returned by the assessors.
The board has given out no intima-
ton as to what its attitude will be
with regard to the valuations that will
be placed upon railroads and power
companies.
The total valuation of the state as
reported by the assessors for 1915 is
$2996l5,9l4, as compared with $780,
705,0l5 for 1914. This does not include
the railroads, and other utilities, as
