TAX LEVY FIXED.
School District LeyieS to BE Made
When Trustees File Reports.

The board Of county commissioners
met Monday to make the annual tax
levy. Commissioners Peterson and
Brahmstadt being present The levy
was fixed at $115 on each 800 valua
ton which is five cents more than the
levy last year. The increase is in the
school levy and current expense levy.
The last legislature enacted a law
compelling the counties to levy a
school tax which will provide SIS for
each child of school age. an amount
considerably in excess of the amount
raised in former years. The increase
jim current expense was made neces-
sary to provide for the holding of cleo
tions next year and an increase in
the cost Of supplies which the county
uses. The valuation of the county is
about S9,400, 900, an increase of about
$500 geo. which is due to the adding Oi
about $4,000 acres of land to the as
sessment rolls, increased valuation OF
public utilities and American Falls
property. The levies for the variou.
funds are as follows on each 500 o.
valuation.

Therefore, IL we want to terminate
the war, we must cut on these impor-

Our peace proposal was declined
because our enemies do not dare to
confess to their respective peoples and
their allies that all the great promises
by which they induced them to enter
the war and that hold them toeether
in the war have already failed and de-
ceived the nations instead of bring
