STATE ORGANIZATION RIGHT IN
LINE TO DO IT'S BIT IN WIN
MING THE WAR

Prem Moore, head of the university
poultry department, was made pres
ident of the state poultry association
at a meeting held last night for the
purpose of selecting officers for the
ensuing year. The other officials
chosen were: DR.. M. S. Fite of Lew
iston, who was made vice president;
Oscar Nelson of Coeur d'Alene, chosen
secretary, and Earl P. Browne of
Coeur d'Alene, named treasurer. The
executive board elected is composed
Of G. P Mix of Moscow, Ben E. CALI
son of Kendrick, G G. Wherry OF Pay
,ette and r. G. Bailey Of Lewiston.
Two committees were named al. the
session held, one with the power to
attempt to secure legislation confer
ring state aid upon poultry shows that
have been held annually for more than
two years and the other with author
ity to urge the broadening and am
plifying of the work being done by
the university poultry department.
"It would be impossible for me to-
praise too warmly the activity that the
university poultry department has
carried on in the face of difficulties
including meager appropriations and
inadequate help" said R. G. Bailey of
Lewiston, editor of Western Poultry,
who was poultry show visitor, this
afternoon. "Mr. Moore has been
tremendously successful in the face
of serious octacles."
Mr.. Bailey expressed the belief that
the Rhode Island Red and Wyandotte
classes exhibited at the poultry show
which closes tomorrow are the equal
of any similar displays ever made in
the Inland Empire, not excepting even
Spokane exhibits. The entire show
has been completely successful from
every viewpoint, in his estimation.

afternoon, including a cabinet meet

in his study at work the whole after
noon. 1t was said at the White House

EXCESS TAXES
MUST BE PAID
JUDGE STEELE HOLDS COUNTY
BLAMELESS IN CASE BROUGHT
BY MARTINS
OFFICIALS did RIGHT
DAvxrrr, <vnrrnAxrr crrnrrrn rAvr
POWER COMPANY SHOULD HAVE
GONE TO STATE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION

Judge Steele has just rendered a
decision holding that Charles J. Mar
tin and James Martin of Juliaetta
cannot recover from Latah county
any excess taxes paid the county upon
the property owned by them. In sub
stance this important decision holds
that the property being an electric
current transmission line, the valua-
tion under the law must be fixed by
the state board of equalization; that
Latah county is merely collecting
agent for the state, and that before
coming into court of equity to col
lect any excess taxes paid, the elec-
trical current transmission line COM
plant must go first before the state
board of equalization and give that
board an opportunity to change the
valuation.
Among other things Judge Steele's
decision says:
3The court feels that it would be
most unfair to the taxpayers of Latah
county to fasten debt upon the
county arising ont of the neglect Of
the plaintiffs, where no county offic-
ial is given any power whatever to
do with fixing the valuation OF the
property. The state board of equal
ization alone must determine the vol
ue of this class Of property.
Nothing is pleaded showing that
the plaintiffs ever took any steps be-
fore the state board to have the valua-
tion fixed by that board. The board
of county commissioners had no power
to change the valuation fixed by the
state board of equalization.
"The plaintiff paid, under protest,
the amount of taxes levied by the
county treasurer as the law requires
shall be done. The law also requires
that the county officials shall disburse
the members sending portion to the
state, portion to certain school dis
tricts, etc. The county officials have
disbursed this money, and were com
PEELED to do so by the law before the
plaintiffs took any steps against the
county to prevent this disbursement,
which plaintiff must know had to be
done under the law, prior to fixed
date The county officials have,
therefore, paid out this money, and
had no power to do otherwise, and
it would be inequitable and unjust to
now require the county to repay to
the plaintiffs all of the excess which |.
the plaintiffs claim was collected on
account of such over-yaluation by the
statae board of equalization.
''The court is inclined to the view
that under the facts in this case the
plaintiffs could only recover, If they
could recover at all, the amount of the
county taxes which would be rela-
lively small amount"
