POSTAL SERVICE IS IN
BAD SHAPE OWING
TO DEMOCRATS
iCONGRESSMEN ARE RECEIVING
COMPLAINTS FROM ALL
SECTIONS OF UNITED
STATES.
Economy as Practiced Has Demoral-
lied Rural Mail Service-Hardship
Worked on Carriers-Republican
Employees Thrown Out to Make
Room for Deserving Democrats"

failure of the Democrats to pass the
postofice appropriation bill in the last
Congress has shamefully crippled the
rural free delivery service.
Members of Congress declare that
complaints they are receiving from
both rural carriers and patrons have
been more numerous and bitter in the
last few months than for years be-
fore.
Rural carriers claim that they have
suffered chiefly on two counts; one
that although they are under Civil
Service, there have been hundreds of
dismissals without just cause; the
other that their routes have been
heightened and their work increased
without additional pay.
The complaints from patrons of the
rural routes are uniformly based up
on sweeping reductions in the SER
vice.
The conditions causing these COM
plants are due to the failure of the
postofhce appropriations bill and the
| consequent necessity for managing
the postal service under a re-enact-
ment of last years appropriation.
The principal changes ordered by
force arise, first, by the proposed CON
miles long into half that number so
miles long; second, in lengthening the
standard routes and still further re-
ducing the carrier force; third, by
making one carrier serve two routes
extra carrier. 1t is estimated that
Ia nj
have lost their places under these re-
ductions.
The patrons of the rural routes base
their criticisms, first, on the claim that
many have had to move their mail
boxes at least half mile from form
er locations, and they, instead of the
carriers, must travel that distance for
mall second, that instead of getting
mail six times a week they receive it
only every other day; third, all these
changes cripple the effectiveness of
the parcel post service, especially as
to perishable goods. There is also
general complaint of curtailment of
the rural free delivery service.
Mass meetings of patrons have been
held in many localities protesting
against the decentralization of their
service, and are daily becoming more
frequent
Reports from associations of rural
carriers claim that not only have the
men lost their enthusiasm for the
service, but through fear of dismissal
have resigned. This is largely the re-
suit, it is said, of Department instruc-
tions to have Democratic postmasters,
instead of Civil Service inspectors,
make confidential reports upon the
qualifications of carriers as a basis
for reductions. This arrangement has
opened the way to rank discrimina-
ton in favor of Democratic carriers.

SUIT BROUGH! AGAINST
HARTMAN ESTATE
FOR TAXES DUE
STATE TREASURY MAY BE EN-
RlCHED BY FROM $4,000 TO
100000 IF LAW is
SUSTAINED
Attorney General Peterson Brings
Action to Recover Inheritance Tax
FROM Estate of Great Railroad
Magnate-Utah Got Three Quarters
Of Million Dollars.

D
Bolsc, Aug. 25-A case of unusual
IMPORTANCE to be heard by the Su-
preme Court is the inheritance tax
case against the Hartman estate. The
court has fixed September 7 as the
date upon which to hear argument. A
large sum OF money is involved and if
lhc State OF Idaho wins, the treasury
Will be ahead a sum estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. The state
OF Utah collected an inheritance tax
Of $I5OOOO from the Hartman estate,
but that was the home state of the
property involved.
Attorney General Joseph H. Peter
son directed that proceedings be
commenced some months ago to col
lect this tax claimed by the state.
The matter was placed in the hands
of Captain +. G.. Davis, Assistant At
torney General, and by him carried
through the probate court, and appeal
ed to the Supreme Court, upon an
agreed case Ex-Governor Hawley
appears for the Hartman estate.
Capt Davis this week filed his brief
and expresses the utmost confidence
in the outcome.
The case is important not only as
to what is involved in the present suit
but as to its far reaching effect. If
Captain Davis wins the Herman
suit, like proceedings will be institut-
ed to collect an inheritance tax from
the Weycrhauser estate and from sew
eral rich mining estates.

& REFERENDUM
ARE FULL OF FAULTS
So Says Secretary of State Howell of
Washington, Who Knows.
Especial to Caldwell Tribune.

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 25.-I. NJ. How
ell, Secretary of the State of Washing
ton, payed visit to the state capital
Wednesday, His errand here was to
interview J. K White, Pure Food
Commissioner, with regard to uni
forming the laws governing weights
and measures in the neighboring states
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
this department being under the juriS-
diction of the secretary of state in
the state of Washington.
Secretary OF State Howell was a
caller at the office of Secretary of
State Barker and made inquiry into the
system used for the collection of the
corporation license tax, and the
method employed for registering of
motor vehicles, as we'll as the system
installed for indeXing corporations.
Mr.. Howell was very much interested
in these subjects, especially the cor
poration tax law, and he stated that
the enactment of a similar law was
being urged in Washington.
Mr., Howell gave out an interview
while here relative to the operations
of the initiative and referendum law
of Washington that will be of inter
est to Idaho. He said:
THE idea may be very good, but
like so many other laws which sound
good its practical demonstration
leaves much fault to find When the
initiative petitions came I'D to the
Secretary of States office last fall |
had to employ $50 clerks to take care
of the added work in the office. 1t
was the duty of the office to check up
the names on the several petitions to
sec that there were no Implications.
and | took it where there was appar-
cnt forgery of names. it was some
body's business to Gull out such
names AS were apparently written by
the same person, so appeal upon this
point was made TO the supreme court.

CLERKS BUSY REVISING
THE ASSESSMENT ROLLS
Change Made by State Board Cause:
Extra Work at Court House.

The clerks at the county recorders
Office are busy changing the assess
ment rolls to comply with the order
of the state board of equalization. The
state board increased the valuations
of irrigated farm lands and decreased
the valuations on city lots. The
change in each case was 10 per cent
Considerable extra work was caused

Upsets Exemptions.
In the matter of exempted estates
of soldiers and their widows some
interesting changes will be made.
Under the law, citizens of this class
are exempt from the payment Of taxes
unless their assessment amounts to
$4,000. In checking up six or eight
such lists valuations ranging between
$4550 and $4,000 were found. In all
such cases where agricultural lands
figure prominently the persons who
counted on an exemption will now
find themselves abliged to pay taxes
because of the 10 per cent increase in
the valuation of their property
On the other hand. one fortunate
widown of this city will be agreeably
surprised to find herself exempted
from payment of taxes, though the
list she turned in totaled $500. This
is due to the simple fact that much
of her honldings were city lots and as
these are now valued lower, her list
| does not amount to $4,000.
