BOARD CUTS
TAX LEVY
General Tax Reduced to $685..
000-Railways and Electric
Companies Effected.

Boise, Sept. 1.-Tax levies for Idaho
for 1916 were reduced $155,0O0 over
1915 by the state board of equaliZa-
ton when it made up the schedules
for the year, most of the saving being
made in the general tax levy, which
was whitfield down from 100000 for
1915 to $565,000 for 1916. The re-
ductions were announced after the
board had cut down valuations of the
main lines of the principle railroads
in the Panhandle country by per
cent, in keeping with general reduc-
tions made on realty and timber val
ues in northern Idaho.
Levies for the general interest and
sinking fund and the public building
tax levy were increased by $4,000
to take, care of bonds and interest to
be met.
In 1915 the board raised $780,
0S1.31 through the total tax levy. by
counties. This year they will raise
but 1855, 600 The board in 1914
raised 100000. The saving i'll taxes
results from a decrease in funds
needed for the running expenses OF
the state government.
In fixing the valuations of the rail
road lines of the state the board
clipped the assessments of the Great
Northern, the Milwaukee, the North
ern Pacific and some Oregon Short
Line branches, but made no reduc-
tions on the main line of the Short
Line Reductions were made only on
the main lines of the big roads in the
north end of the state, all of which
were fixed at per cent.
Last year the valuation of the
Northern Pacifis's main line was fixed
at $5426,600; the main line of the
Great Northern was given valuation
of $5,167, 800, and the Milwaukee's
main line was valued at $5,S63,000.
The valuation of the Twin Falls
branch of the Oregon Short Line was
reduced $4,000 a mile. The North
Side branch was reduced $4,000 a
mile, while the valuation of the Snake
belt line was increased $1,000 a mile.
The valuation of the Yellowstone
branch was fixed at $4,000 mile
from Idaho Falls to Ashton, and from
Ashton to Yellowstone park at $4,000
mile In the past it had been Gus
tomary to place the valuation of that
branch at $4,000 mile for its entire
length.
Equalization of Power Companies.
Electric current and transmission
power companies in the state of
Idaho were given substantial reduc-
tions in their valuations in a majority
of cases. They range from 10 to 20
per cent. The Washington Water
Power company of Spokane was given
20 per cent cut in valuation, the
board slicing off $500,000 at one
stroke. On the other hand the Utah
Light & Power company was given
10 per cent increase, a total of
$297, 900 having been added to the
valuation of its property over the
total valuation found last year OF
$2,975,OOO. The other noticeable In
crease was given the Thousand
Springs Power company, or 20 per
cent. Out of eight of the larger op-

STOLE AN AUTO.

While Mrs. Il. J. Bennett and daugh-
ters of Denver were over last Saturday
attending the dance at Schmadeka's s
hall, some unregenerate son of dark
ness climbed into their auto, which
they had left standing down on the
street and drove it off. The machine
was found the next day on the road
over beyond Cottonwood, where it had
apparently baked on the driver and
had to be abandoned. Everything was
found intact except a suit case contain
ing some new dresses belonging to the
young ladies.

the state, six were given reductions
