hereby appointed the collector OF the

O. E. Norell, Deputy Tax Collect
or app AIRED before the Board, ex-
planning that the County Tax Collec-
tor made a refund to E. A. Wilmot Of
$4.05 on account of oVerpayment OF
taxes for Yates Center Highway Dis
trict Subdivision No. 2 the same
having been collected, and which was
subsequently rebated by the Board Of
County Commissioners, but said $4.Ob
was credited to Y. G. H D., subdivi-
sion No. prior to the order Of the
Commissioners to refund.
1t is therefore the order OF the
Board that $4.06 be transferred from

Tax Collector file claim for such re-
fund.
The matter OF the repair OF the
bridge on the Smiths Prairie road on
South Boise River, Mr.. c. K. Johnson
the contractor being present made
statement to the effect that he felt
that in as much as the circumstances
by which bridge sustained damage

struction of the same, and feeling
that the damage was in no way his

consequently the repair likewise could
not be his.
Thereupon the Board considering
this the logical time for the repair of
said bridge ordered John d. Winter,
road overseer to make such repairs
as necessary to put the bridge in
good condition.
The County Auditor reported to the
Board of Commissioners, that while
the abstract Of this Personal Proper
ty assessment roll correctly showed
the number of sheep assessed in FL
more County for the year 1915, that
Elmore County was however the home
County of a great many sheep own
ers, who spent some time In other
Counties and were therefore rebated
on the predatory tax charged, this
feature also applies to the charge
made by the state against the county.
The Board therefore directed tn
Clerk to take this matter up with
the State Auditor and endeavor to
get credit for 1895 10, the total amount
Of predatory tax that Gilmore County
has refunded on the Migratory Tax
on sheep which were assessed in this
County for the year and spent, how
ever, time in other counties.
In accordance with the election
laws requiring that the County Com.
missioners designate two newspapers
which shall publish a sample ballot,

that the freight on same amounted to
S11717.
1t is therefore the order of the
Board that a warrant be drawn on
the Current Expense Fund of the
County for SHIT in favor of the
Clerk of the Board for the payment
of this freight.
B. p. Thompson appeared before
the Board asking that a correction be
made in the valuation of the 1914
assessment of Evelyn N. Patterson,
Oh the NWA Section 80 Twp 4 So,
r. e., B. NJ.
The Board feeling that illegal point
was involved in as much as no re-
duction was applied for during the
equalization OF the valuations for the
year 1914 the mater was laid over
until the September meeting for .egal
advice, the County attorney being alb
sent from town for the day.

That Absurd Argument.

The Fresno Republican, published in
the heart of the grape growing dis
trict, in commenting upon the large
majorites for prohibition in the grape
growing counties, says:
"While the raisin and grape grower
voted 10000 against his own supposed
economic interest, San Francisco, es-
pecially south of Market street, came
nobly to the aid of the poor San Joa
/ quin Valley grower. Which shows,
of course, the absurdity of the vine
yard argument"
The Republicans sarcasm is good.
But why waste it on the south of Mar
ket street voter?
Didn't the San Francisco Chamber
of Commerce put up the same absurd
argument?
Is this not true, also, of the Cali
fornia Development Board?
Is it not true of our State Board

governing the transfer of their holdings on the forests <
 The forest service has to this time expended hundreds of thousands of dollars to perfect and maintain a sys- tenn for preventing and fighting forest fires. yet this would not be q drop in the bucket" to what would have to | expended were it not for the live stocl that keep the excess under cover ant grass down to point where the spread of fire is minimiZed. These area: would not he forests. but firetraps in stead. which means d direct saving tt the government of vast sums of nor " in actual cash besides an incalculable amount of valuable timber I under stand that the service is seriously con sidering the placing of live stock on parts of some fOreS-S where they do not now Graze, as the cheapest and most effective way of combating that greatest of all meraces to a forest fire.
 The forest service has spent thous ands of dollars in an exhaustive study of the timber business, which goes into great detail as to the cost of logging, the cost of transportation. the cost of milling. the depreciation on the plant and rolling stock, capital invested and interest on same and then sells the timber so that the manufacturer can have fair profit, which to my mind is sensible and fair.
 Has the stock man ever had such a study made of his business?
 No. Yet the department has more than doubled the pre- sent rate on live stock and has set the East date of hear ing for February l, 1917.
 The semi-arid states of the west must always be the great breeding ground of the United States National forests in these states will therefore always be a very important factor in The production of live stock and it's products, The forests nov embrace the high timber land principally adapt : ed for summer use as grazing ground and they do not control winter forage land in sufficient quantity to sup port the summer areas and they are fully utilized now only because the wool growers find winter pasture far

| estS withdrawn to conserve the timber and on which practically no stocl, i graze.
 In spite of the fact that the national ; forests were withdrawn and are now l maintained to conserve the great nat | ural wealth of the west which grows 1 more valuable at a tremendous rate as 1 time goes on and which is d national 1 investment of iucalculablc value tn 1 the whole people;
 In spite of the fact that the moneys derived from grazing on the forest
 more than offsets the cost of it's ! administration
 In spite of the fact that there are turpentine forests in Florida. buffalo ! forests in Oklahoma, hardwood forests ! m the Appalachians and sOftWoOd for ests in Washington in which the stock i man has no interest except such as any other citizen would have yet they are asking the grazing permittees to make mp the fiscal deficiencies on these forests from Palm Beach to Seattle and from the Appalachians to the Pacific coast and that this is the parpose of this proposed increase is most con clusively borne out hy the following quotation from District Forester Red : dfngton's letter in support of this ad- i vance in fees:
 The great criticism of national for est administration is that they are not self supporting. This change will make them so"
 If the great timber forests of the northwest, the watershed withdra walls on which the grazing of live stock Is prohibited. that the water may not be polluted nor the valleys flooded. and all the others that are not self support
 ing, are worth conserving and main
 taining, then this great government of
 the United States should bear the
 expense Of the maintenance of such units as are Of TO direct benefit to specific communities, and the cost of
 administering those units withdrawn for tho benefit of separate commun- ties should be borne by those directly benefited and not attempt to wiring from the meat producers of the west 1 this deficit under the guise that graz ing privileges on national forests are worth double what they now are com pared with the price paid on Indian reservations and private lands, thus placlng the arbitrary value on the privileges with no more argument or study ip support of it than has so far
 come to light
 Relative to the bonus" paid on stock using the forests. this same statement can ne made to apply to the public domain, the Indian reservations and wherever stock are grazed and when the time comes that bonus can not be paid for located stock over and above their market value on board the
 cars period is reached in the use of that range which shows most surely that other conditions are unfavorable Tn the extent that it would not pay to l locate there because everyone knows | ,hat 1t costs money to locate stock on
 an unfenced range and cannot he done without loss
 | have read with interest the article ] by T. s. Woolsey Jr., in the June, 1916. issue of the Forest Quarterly, Nation
 al Forest Revenue and Oreanization He makes the statement that grazing 1 fees on national forests should be two or four times as much as at present
 and to prove this he cites the follow 1 ing, which 1 quote:
 | For example on the Apache Indian

reservation. the 1916 year long rates for cattle were $250 and 50 cents for sheep. These rates were the result of competitive bid. Forest service timber sale rates are in theory at least also fixed by competitive bid. On the Sit greaves, which joins the Apache Indian reservation. the year long rate for cattle is 4s cents and for sheep IF cents" a
 Such an unqualified statement l be- leve to be misleading to the public and should not go unchallenged
 Just what is the comparison between grazing on d national forest and an Indian reservation?
 Sheep and cattle are not allotted to the same range on an Indian reserva- tion. nor do they allow on the same area more than one permittee. which is of great advantage in the economic use of the area. .es
 On a national forest they do.
 On an Indian reservation a permit tee may buy the stock and grazing privilege of the whole reservation if he so desires.
 On a national forest he cannot.
 On an Indian reservation you may construct as many small nclosures as you desire without extra charge for the forest material necessary for it's construction or the area involved.
 On a national forest you cannot.
 On an Indian reservation thes per mittee is reimbursed for permanent improvements made on his allotment by the deduction of that amount from his grazing tax.
 On national forest he is not.
 On an Indian reservation the lease and privilege is for term of five vears and no a1y1pcp cap hp ma da during that time, which is of immense value to the lessee On a national forest only an annual lease can be obtained and a raise in fees possible each year.
 Do permittees on an Indian reserva - ton own patented land and water commensurate to their stock? On q national forest they are compelled to own land and sufficient water which, on the Coconino forest mentioned in Mir. Woolsey's article, is more than
