COUNTY Col0uN1I0laBRa
HOME AGAIN.

County Commissioners J.. G. Bond
and James Christensen have returned
from the annual convention of county
commissioners, and report very inter
esting and beneficial convention where
the exchange Of ideas and experiences
cannot help but be benefit to the peo-
pie of the state through their commits
sioners who had the opportunity t,
listen to the experiences of thirty seven
county commissioners who represented
twenty four counties ont of a total of
thirty seven counties. The following
resolutions were passed by the conven-
ton:
Proposed Legislation.
BE 1t resolved by the county commits
sioners of the State of Idaho in CON
vention assembled:
That we commend the organization Of
the State Tax Association. under thn
supervision of the Department Of Poll
teal Science in the University of
Idaho, and pledge our support and CO.
operation to it for the purpose Of ar
irving at solution of the problems of
taxation in this state.
That we favor the creation by legis-
lative enactment of State Bureau of
Accounts for the purpose Of installing
uniform system of accounting, audit
ing and reporting in all governmental
units within the state.
That we favor the organization Of
county government for the purpose of
rendering it a more efficient business
unit. As an initial step in such or
ganization we favor an amendment to
the constitution providing that the
term of county commissioners be ex-
tended to six years.
That we favor amending the present
Revenue Law SO as to permit counties
to place their finances upon cash
basis. We particularly recommend
that the fiscal year be made to con
form to the tax year; that the present
system of taxes in two installments
either be abolished, or, if retained,
that it be SO amended that both install
ments shall be paid in the same year
for which the taxes are levied. For
the purpose of enabling counties to
change from credit to a cash basis we
favor legislation authoring small levy
to create sinking fund, which will
gradually and over a series of years
permit such change of financial bases
to be made.
We favor the tract index system,
and recommend that it be installed in
each county.

Mr.. ..!fego,.4 HaYe. yon called them In
to- ySdr Office and said: ::.sfMr. Money
Lender: Ten per cent interests arc
legal rates Of interest in this state, but
SIX per cent, is moral one." Have
you called the land merchant onto the
carpet and said "The value of land
is regulated by the marketable value
OF what it produces, and not by the hot
air and imagination you pump into it, -
These are some of the things that
will add dollar an acre to the profit of
the farms of Bingham county without
lnJu,1ng any man. Clean them up, Mr..
Trego, clean them up, and under the
benign influence Of square deal the
farmer will practice economies that
will aud two dollars an acre to the
profit of the Bingham county farms.
One dollar is lonesome affair; two
dollars look chummy and company, one
for the other. The one will buy cigars
and good cheer for the farmer and his
family, the other will put his shivering
stock into warm shelter and buy the
windmill he has needed for 80 long, and
eouldn't afford. Cheer up; Mr.. Trego.
These are simple and easy tasks; the
tasks that belong to Editor Trego.
You have another task that confronts
Farmer Trego. You have ranch w.
ing in good, progressive neighbor-
hood; well located in the state high.
way, close to the beet dump and load
ing station, excellent soil, abundant
water. It's an ideal place to demon
strate the new ideas you are advocat-
ing for the farmer. The place has
been practically dormant for twelve or
fifteen years. The same buildings,
fences, wiilowlined bitches, neglected
corners. The same general run down at
the-heel appearance. In our new era of
upto-date methods of farming, where
we are to receive an extra dollar an
acre of profit, we want you TO profit
along with us You are our elder
brother, member of the same guild.
Hnthuse along with the rest Of us.
Enthuse in farmers Latin means
cough up Now is the time of year
when advanced ideas should be pruned
for spring operations. Win dollar in
the silver contest by giving us your
best plan for improving the appear
ance Of your ranch in the coming year.
By erecting new fence you could i'm
prove the looks Of the ranch wonder
fully, and give us first hand data as to
the most economical material to use.
The proper number and size of plots a
farm should be divided into, An np-to
date COW barn, hog yard and chicken
house, would be great help and in
SEPARATION to us; it would give us first
hand ideas in planning our own. The
farmer is a curious creature. He takes
to example like a duck to water, but
il shy and ti1nid Of precept. We want
a leader, Mr.. Trego, a Moses that can
put his hand to the plough and mark
out the furiow that will lead us to
prosperity. With your advanced ideas
Of farming and a liberal use of ten
per cent money, you ought to be able to
prove to us in concrete way that the
dawn Of prosperity is at hand. Clean
up, Mr.. Ifego. Start the year right.
