10, being "A story. founded on two reso-
lutions of the state board of equal
ization, the insinuation, or implication
that the Intermountain Railroad COM
pany, through its tax agent, or any
one else, attempted to influence any
state department or attempt to to avoid
payment of its taxes, is untrue ana can
be entirely controverted by the record
facts in the case referred to.
Mr.. Barton, president of the Inter-
mountain Railway company, voluntar-
lily accepted the assessment OF $4,000
per mile on Ia miles Of railroad FOR
the year 1915, when, as a matter or
fact such road was not even complete
~ graded for that distance and only
a very small part was of existence on
the second Monday in January of that
year. However, Mr.. Barton accepted
such assessment because the 1915 use
of such road vas of as much value FOR
that year to the company as II 1t had
been ready on the date when 1t could
legally have been taxed. The board at
that time seemed well pleased with the
stand taken by Mr.. Barton and made
favorable comment.
WHEN ERROR WAS FOUND.
The fact that such IA miles of road
was certified up to Boise county for
$4,000 instead of at $4,000 per mile was
not known to Mr. Barton nor any EN-
ploye Of such company until December
1915, or tax paying time. That on
that date another error in the certf-
- 1,p IA
the state board OF equalization was dis
covered that is, a 25 per cent cut on
timber and timber lands was certified
up as "a cut on timber lands only. This

ON THE FINAL VOTE
Republicans Made Effort to

to provide for "a thorough audit and

ment from the time of the admission of
the state into the union to Jan. /,
1917, under the supervision and juris-
dcton of the state auditor, was fore
ed through the senate at today's ses-

Rockwell sought to amt ID the bill by
Incorporating an amendment to have
the auditing done by a non partisan
party. He was voted down on a
straight party vote and the bill was
then passed by a vote of 81 to 4.
Senator Whitcomb explained his
vote against the bill by declaring that
while he favored a thorough audit the
bill as it stands makes it partisan and
he could not sec where the politics in
the land depart ent will be divorced.

the bill, then changed his vote to
