State Tax
Association
Organized at Boise.---Oficers Elected.---
Dispute Over Plans.

The Idaho State Il AK association
created at Boise following a two
days' session, elected the following
officers Tuesday night:
Jerome ]. Day, Moscow, presi-
dent.
Max May6eld, Boise, vice presi-
dent.
Drew w. Standrod, Pocatello,
treasurer.
Executive committee ]. c.
White, Kootenai county; E. K.
Hayes, Gem county; Nathan
Kicks, Madison county; P. H.
Smith, Twin Falls county; H. G..
Lewis, Latah county.
The secretary is to be appointed
by the executive committee.
Howard T. Lewis. dean of the
department of economics of the
University of Idaho, was secretary
of the meeting. In explaining the
object of the organization to the
100 delegales assembled, he de-
clared that the part the uni 5ersity
played in bringing the tax experts
together was not with any ulterior
motive, but for the purpose OF
accomplishing as much good as
possible in endeavoring to bring
about a solution of the tax muddle
and high taxes in Idaho.
Dean Lewis served notice that
the injection of politics into the
organization would Immediately
result in the university's withdraw
al.
Thes Organization committee
recommended constitution pro-
viding for the appointment of
delegates for the next convention
by the governor, utilities commits
sion, board of equalization and
various industrial and labor organ
izations, allowing only delegates
vote, but permitting any one to
become member of the associa-
ton. This is known as the dual
system, followed by the national
tax association. Objection was
raised and debate followed.
1t is understood the purpose OF
the association is to study methods
of payment and collection OF taxes,
fixing of leyies, etc., with a view
to securing equitable valuations
and safeguarding the interests o'
taxpayers in the fixing of levies
and the expenditure of public
funds.

There have been many ringers" In

Ward started the game OF guile away
back in 1928 On July l. 1928, Jem.
who later became champion of Eng
land set the stage for what was prob
ably the first feat of this kind. He
found it impossible to get a fight In
London. and, as he was short of money,
he cooked up a little scheme.
Jem was an artist and something OF
an actor, and the plan he decided on
was artistic. With couple Of com
panions he tramped to Bath, where
the races were to begin on July |. On
the way they logged themselves out in
the regalia OF simple rubes. and IT
was in this disguise that Jem reached

laborer. looked the part. and he had
no trouble in getting a match with
Joe Rickens, the Somerset champion.
Joe was town lad. lie poked fun at
the "rube" and threatened TO eat him
alive.
The bogus countryman. after a few
awkward moves. soon tore loose. and
the crowd realized that they had been
stung and that "Sawney" WAS not as
green MS he looked Jems friends had
put up lot OF money on him at good
odds, and this enraged the spectators.
Ward had no sooner knocked out
his opponent than the cry OF Lynch

for his life. Ward and his friends
were glad to escape from the MOB
with their lives and didn't wait to
lcct the purse or their winnings.
