IDAHO BALL TEAM
TAKES TWO GAMES
DOWN THE MONTANA VISITORS
EASILY ON THE HOME
GROUNDS

Idaho made short work of Montana
in the baseball series on the U. of l.
diamond The score in Fridays game
was to in favor of Idaho and the
score this morning was 6 to with the
locals on the long end.
Figures hardly tell the story of Fri
days game. Brashear for Idaho struck
out 10 men in the game and allowed
but few hits. He eased up in
the seventh inning when the visitors
made their only runs of the game.
The playing of the Idaho team was
characterized by long, hard hitting.
Today's game was played in the
forenoon to enable the Montana team
to get away and to clear the track for
the military inspection that was I'M
'expectedly staged for the afternoon.
Retig pitched for the home team to-
day with Captain Barger again behind
the bat. He was not as steady in his
work as Brashear, but, there was no
time when he did not have the oppos
ing team pretty we'll at his mercy.
These two victories added to Ida
hos string makes the record stand
now three in their favor to one won
by the Montana boys.

acres in apples and prunes, amount

sown, sales of butter, butter fat, milk,
cheese, wheat, oats, barley potatoes,

non-performance Of these duties. AS
the assessor has gone over his terri

looks as if he would be forced to make
another complete canvass O fthe coun-
ty for the benefit of the farm markets
bureau. And there is not a cent in it
for him.

dead snake. He was taken to the
ranch house, where the great singer

Assessors Are Not the 0ffivers Who
Say How Much Taxes You Pay

Assessing means "vsluing," or cap

The assessor lays the foundation to
which other officers apply the rate of
levy.
These other officers, not the assess
OF, are the ones who determine how
high" or slow" the taxes viii be, by
fixing the levy high or low.
Who fixes the levies?
az For the State, the General
Assembly.
tsl For the County. the County
Court.
(Sl For the City, Town or Vii
lage, the Council, the Aldermen, or
Board of Trustees.
(O For the School District, the
voters themselves at the school meet
ing, or election, held the first Tues
day Of each April. School boards, or
directors, suggest the rate of levy,
but a vote of the people only authoriz-
es the school levy.
Then the assessor is not the the Of

Most assuredly, no!
On When state taxes are too high,
