ASSESSORS MEETING
VERY SUCCESSFUL

The meeting of the county as
ssssOrs Of Idaho at Boise last
week was highly satisfactory and
from the discussions during the
several sessions much good is
expected to rsult.
The assessors listened to sug-
gestiOns from the members Of the
state board of equalization rela-
tive to assessing certain kinds of
property and gained much valu-
able data as a result.
1t was decided by the conven-
tion that in the future all real
estate belonging to banks other
than the lot and building used for
banking house purposes would be
assessed in addition to the capi-
tai stock surplus and undivided
profit.
Hugh Sproat, president of the
Idaho Wool Growers association,
appeared before the assessors
and protested against increase on
sheep valuations from S4.25 to Sc
as is proposed if the agreement
of the assessors is carried out,
which, it is declared, will be.
After a few amendments to
the bill presented by the auto
mobile dealers had been adopted
the bill was indorsed and Asses
sor Kincaid of Ada was instruct
ed to see that the bill contained
the amendments made by The
convention before it was pre-
sented to the legislature as hav-
ing the assessors Endorsement.
The assessing of calves under
yearlings was decided upon on ;
basis of $40 to si5 per head
Heretofore, it is said, there hai

Tax Case
To Be Tried
DISTRICT COURT MEETS NEXT
Term Promises To Be Short One.
pOFlant Gases For Trial

The February term of the dis
trict court for this county will
open in this city Monday. Judge
John NJ. Flynn of Standpoint viii
preside and he has ordered a
jury to be drawn and summoned
to appear Monday, 1t looks now
as though the term would be a
short one. There are only four
criminal cases on the calendar
all of which are bootlegging cases
which should not take long to
try. OF the civil cases to be
tried before a jury only two are
very important OF will take much
time.
The two principal cases to be
tried are the Washington Water
Power company against Benewah
county and Oscar SamuelsOn VS..
the st. Maries Hospital Associa-
ton. The first of these is an
action to cancel a tax assess
ment. The county assessed the
company's easement to overflow
lands in this county. The COM
pany claims that these easements
were assessed by the state as
part of the operating plant at
Post Falls and that the assess
ment by the county is a double
assessment. 1t refused to pay
the taxes levied by the county on
the easements and they were re-
turned delinquent and delin-
quency certificates were issued.
The company is trying to have
these certificates declared void.
The case Of Samuelson versus
the st. Maries Hospital Associa-
tion is for alleged negligent med
ical treatment. Samuelson, who
was employed by the Milwaukee
Lumber company, had a ticket
on the hospital when taken sick
He alleges that he went to the
hospital and, without a proper
examination, was turned away
The complaint states he ther
went to Spokane where doctor:
found he was suffering from Z
severe attack of appendicitis anC
an immediate operation was nee
essary to save his life.

Movement TO
Divide State
IS NOW TAKING DEFINITE FORM
Coalition Between North and Southeast To Re-
move Capital From Boise

Boise, Jan. 3i.-NOrth Idaho
statehood is taking concrete
form. Meetings attended by
all north Idaho's representatives
and senators have been held and
all are agreed upon the PROPOSE
ton. The movement has gone
so far as to determine the south
ern boundary line of the pro-
posed state. 1t follows along
the south side of Washington
county dividing Boise and Custer
counties and intersecting the
west boundary of Fremont coun-
ty. The necessary measures to
get state division before both
houses are in the course of prep
aration.
Linked with statehood for
north Idaho is a question of re-
moving the capital from Boise.
The constitution provides that
after the capital has been in
Boise for 20 years, the legislature
will submit to a vote of electors
the question of its location. Two
cities receiving the highest num-
ber of votes shall then be voted
upon at a final election. Steps
are being taken to bring the mat
ter to a vote.
Pocatello is a candidate against
Boise for capital of south Idaho.
North Idaho will support Poca-
tello and in return the southeast
ern part of the state will support
the movement to give statehood
to north Idaho. The provision
of the constitution requiring
capital location to be submitted
to popular vote was overlooked
by Boise representatives and was
brought to their attention by
north Idaho legislators after the
movement to remove the univer-
sity from Moscow was started.
North IdahO's representatives
have been working on the state
division for several days. The
plan was fully determined before
/ it was given publicity. Under
/ the proposed plan the removal of
the capital will be the first ques-
tion to be determined. The un-
derstanding between north anc
south gives Pocatello a decided
advantage in the forthcoming
contest. With the southeastern
part Of the state supporting the
movement for dividing the state
there is no doubt about the un-
ldertaking.
| Committees now have th'
whole matter in charge and mea
sures providing for the capita
removal and state division will
soon be forthcoming.

by Deputy Sheriff Toohey. A
of complaints had come
to the officers that gambling was

western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-The Government IS
working to develop some comprehen-
sive system of dealing with the labor
unrest which threatens to hamper war
production. 1t is concerned over the
pronounced upward movement OF
wages, disproportionate for various in
dustries. and the difficulty of stabiliz-
ing conditions without doing injustice
to workers or employers. Nearly all
nroduction now directly or indirectly
is necessary for the prosecution OF the
war. and the output of war material
is curtailed by strikes, extraordinary
movement of workers from one indus
try to another, or from plant to plant,
and other unsettled conditions. On
the recommendations of the commits
sion. headed by Secretary Wilson, OF
the Department of Labor, which lett
for the West, largely depend the Gov
ernment's eventual policy.
Meanwhile, it is understood the Gov.
ernment's course will be:
To extend to industries having war
contracts the present system OF wage
adjustment boards, which have been
created for cantonment construction,
shipbuilding, longshoremens work
and army and navy clothing produc'
ton. To increase the number of War
Department contracts containing
| clauses providing that in case of sus'
pension of work by strikes, the Sec
rotary of War shall settle the disputes,
| To enforce agreements with industries
for whose products standard prices are
| fixed. not to reduce wages. To en-
courage employers to form associa
lions by industry groups to deal collec
lively with labor demands, and to
| press informally for adjustment of dis
agreements before they reach the
strike stage, under the implied pres
sure of the Governments war power
to commander and operate plants.
