HIGH TAXES DUE TO INCREASE
IN COUNTY NOT STATE LEV|ES
FIGURES FROM EVERY COUNTY
OF THE STATE SHOWS ASSESS
MENTS FOR COUNTY AND
FOR STATE PURPOSES.
(Boise Capital News. }

That high taxes last year were due
to high county levies and not to the
levies made for state purposes, is con-
clusively proven in comparison of
the levies for both state and county
in each county of the state. In every
instance where the taxes have been
higher, it is shown by the facts, to be
due to county levies For instance in
Ada county the state levy was 20 cents
in 1915 and the county levy was IS
cents, a difference of 65 cents. In 1914
the levy for state taxes in Ada county
was 90 cents while for county purposes
the levy was So cents, difference of 33
cents. Taking Bonneville county, the
state levy last year was 20 cents and
the county levy in round numbers was
$1.0S, a difference of SO cents while for
1914 the state levy was "a cents and
the county levy $1.0S. Running through
the segregated levies it is shown that
for county current expenses, county
roads and bridges, county warrant re-
demption, county bond and interest,
general school, in most counties, the
levies were higher in 1915.
Redemption Levies Big
A number of other illustrations are
here cited to show the wide difference
between the state and the county
levies. In Adams county the state levy
for 1914 was 25 cents and the county
levy for the same year 81; FOR 1915 the
state levy was 20 cents and the county
levy $1.02. The combined county and
state levy for that county in 1914 was
$1.25 and in 1915 1922. In Bannock
county the state levy in 1914 was %
cents; the county levy 70 cents. In
1915 the county levy was 96 cents and
the state levy Is cents. The combined
county and state levy in 1914 was 95
cents and in 1915, $1.15. In Benewah
county the state levy in 1914 was 81
cents; the county levy $1.3S. In 1915
the state levy was Is cents; the county
levy $1.22. Many other illustrations
are shown.
In some instances counties were re-
quired to make levy to redeem war
rants, greater than the levies for other
purposes, owing to the fact they had
not paid their expenses in previous
years. BY the terms of an act passed
by the last legislature, counties cannot
do this in the future and if they do
officials are liable on their bond.
Comparison in Levies Striking.

and county levies for 1914 and 1915

 It is the opnion of the leading business men who have been fol- lowing the strike situation that it will paralyze business. A sudden stop of all of the rush business wnich has just begun to drift across the continent will be cut into. It is a known fact that green hands cannot, with any degree of ex- pediency, handle the finer intra- cacies of transportation.
 Big supply houses in New York, Chicago and middle western and eastern cities which have been get ting their daily supplies from rural and suburban districts on night and ,arly morning trains have made provision for automobile trucks to bring their products to market. Big dairy interests were the first ones to make provision for auto con- Yeyance of their milk products in to the cities, via auto conveyance.
