Mitchell Comes Out
With Announcement
of Weather Car

The cost Of Ali-year driving has been
20 materially reduced by the introduction
Of the new Mitchell demountable sedan
top that motor car owners are coming
to realization that the automobile Is
no longer fair weather friend"
The demountable sedan top means an
all-the-year car for any and all kinds OF
weather at the expense Of only one car
and one body. and the fact that for a
very slight additional investment the
Mitchell can be converted into a luxuri-
Gus enclosed car. suitable for winter use,
will mean q material increase In the
winter use Of cars.
The owner who heretofore has garaKed
or put up his car during the winter
months will now have the use OF his
car throughout the year. and at an ex-
tremely nominal outlay Doth himself and
passengers can enjoy all the comforts
and luxuries OF the more expensive
coupes, limousines ana berlins.

COUNTY TAXES REDUCED

The various counties of the state
will pay in taxes for state purposes
$s9,981.91 less in 1915 than they did
in 1914. That was. shown by com
parison of the state tax roll just
completed by the state auditors of
flee for the current year with that of
1914.
:. In 1914 there was raised for state
purposes by the general levy exact
ly nine hundred thousand dollars.
That was all the money raised for
state purposes. There was no preda
tory amount fund tax, and sufficient
money had accumulated in the cap
itol building and general interest and
sinking funds so that it was not nee
essary to make a levy for either of
them. The 1915 levy for those three
funds amounts to $11,O1S.31.
The 1915 ad valorum tax was fixed
by the legislature at seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, but the
state board of equalization arbitrari-
~ reduced it to seven hundred thou
sand dollars. There was also spec
lal tax on livestock for the predatory
animal fund and levies were made for
the capitol building fund and the gen
eral interest and sinking fund. The

A little instance of the predicament
in which the closing of the Bannock
hotel puts POcatello occurred on East
Center street late yesterday evening
An auto drove up in front of business
house and inquired the way across the
viaduct. The machine went around
through the subway and later returned
bound for Blackfoot because no hotel
accommodations for the party could
be secured in the city. Pocatello is
losing hundreds of dollars weekly, ac-
cording to good authority, because it
cannot take care of all who wish to
stop here. And it is getting undesirable
advertising as the town without enough
hotels. = Pocatello Chronicle.

total amount to be raised by those
four tax es for 1915 is $s1O,O1s.09, as
compared with 100000 in 1914.
In all counties except Cassia, Clear
water, Custer, Minidoka, Power and
Shoshone, less taxes will be paid for
state purposes in 1915 than were paid
in 1914. In those counties an in
crease is shown, which is due to the
fact that considerable additional land
has been placed on the tax rolls. In
Cassia and Custer, which are stock
raising counties, the predatory animal
tax operated to swell the total amount
of taxes to be paid in those counties for
state purposes. The same condition
existed in Owyhee, but not to such an
extent as to make the total county taxes
for 1915 greater than those of 1914.
This year Bingham county pays $685.
194.S5, last year it paid $2s,33s.o5.

UNCLE SANS RAILROAD

Woodrow Wilson controls at least one
railroad and has the authority to issue
