STATE TAX TREBLES
Rate Will Jump From S2.2O
TO 81 on $1,000.

Idaho will treble this year over
last. 1t is known that approx
mately S2,352,884 80 must be
raised this year for state taxes in
excess OF the $I,222,I32. 80 raised
by taxation in 1918, says the
Statesman.
There are several causes for the
big advance. Appropriations for
the maintenance of state govern
ment in I9I7-I9I8 totaled So, ,8o6,-
o6I. .53. In l9Io-I92o appropria-
lions made for the biennium by the
last legislature totaled $5.74o, 66S.-
68, an increase of almost Sa ooo,-
900.
The ad valorem tax fixed by tie
legislature in 1917 for 1917 1918
was 81, 900, 900 annually. The ad
valorem tax fixed by the last legis-
lature for 1919 1920 was S.,
900 annually. In addition to the
ad yalorem tax for the general fund
out Of which it paid the running
expenses of the several depart
ments of the state government and
the upkeep and maintenance OF the
several state educational, penal and
charitable institutions there is a
direct ad valorem tax of $o36, 900
for good roads to be met.
FROM 81 20 TO $500 ON $1,000.
The tax rate in 1918 for the
general tax levy, or the fund out of
which the operating expenses of
the state government are paid, was
.oo22 mills or 81. 20 for each $1,000
valuation on property. This year
the tax rate for the general tax
levy will be double what it was
last year, or So 40 for each $1,000
valuation. Other taxes will pro-
badly bring the total state tax to
more than 81.
Valuations reported by the A
county assessors OF the state are
only SO, 900, 900 greater than in
1918 and the public utilities are,
with but few exceptions, asking a
reduction in taxes.
Taxes collected this year by The
state will be fixed on Valuations
reported last year and equalized by
the state board of equalization in
1918, but since taxes are certain 10
be about the same next year as
this the state board of equalization
which is now in session, must of
a necessity strengthen valuations
reported by the public utilities and
the county assessors or increase
the tax rate when it meets next
year.
From statements made by mem
bers of the board it is apparent
that some of the big corporations
must stand an increase in valua-
tions, while others will get reduc-
tionS.

HEDLEY DEMANDS
SINGLE OWNERSHIP
FOR SURF ACE LINES
Tells Public Service Commits
sion Five-Cent Fare is
Too Small.

Frank Hedley. Vice President OF the
New York Railways Company, on the
stand before the Public Service Com
mission to-day. came out natfootedly
for a single operating company for
the surface railways OF the city and
also for a nat fare.
The opinion was expressed by Mr..
Hedley during a hearing before Dep
uty Public Service Commissioner Ed
ward Glennon on the question OF the
New York Railways Company in
stalling intcrlocking steps and doors
on all Of It's surface cars. The cost
would be s25O,OOO.
Mr.. Hedley said:
"Why. the receiver OF the New
York Railways Company. TO my
mind. cannot spend "a dollar and a
half on any Improvement All the
cars of the company are obsolete, in
fact OF every company. but no
company can afford. with n five
cent fare to put in any improvements
to-day.
II is ridiculous for the city to put
in $500, 100000 or $3.50, 100000 in
transit lines on which 1t never can
get a penny's return on a five-cent
fare"
In summarizing the financial status
OF the company, Mr.. Hedley produced
figures showing that on July / the
company had a deficit Of $3.50, 900 and
that tho liability for taxes alone at
that time amounted 10 S1,577OOO. OF

hope was justified by the splendid
work done by the United States

of the United States had relations of

in acknowledging the heroic part that
they played in the great offensive.

Especial Cable Despatch !


Paris, Aug 29.-The latest informa-
ton from Budapest to reach the
American peace mission shows no i'm
proyement in the situation there, de-
spite the allied warnings to Rumania.
whose troops continue to remove
supplies and material from Hungary.
The United States mission openly
states that unless something is done
to check the Rumanians further trou-
BILE may be expected in the Balkans
and that the conference might as we'll
close down temporarily.
1t was mentioned this morning that
the Hungarian situation offered
splendid precedent for the Serbians to
take action. There is strong diff
ference of opinion as to who Is 20
balme for such state of affairs.
Some criticise the French foreign
ministry for having showed itself too
lenient and too sympathetic toward
the Rumanians. Every since Bella
Kun was overthrown the French press
has been loud in ITS praise of the
Rumanians, and some argue that Ru-
mania's hitter experience during the
war led her to take matters into her
own hands in Hungary. Such press
comment has displeased the Ameri-
can delegation, but it remarks that
Hungary's affairs concern France
more directly than they do America.
Reports received from Gen. Band
holtz, which are going to be made
public, will show how difficult have
been the negotiations between the
Rumanians and the allied military
mission

FAITH JUSTIFIED.

The war department has notified
President Wilson that two soldiers
whose lives he spared, after they had
been sentenced for sleeping at their
posts, achieved distinction in the last
terrific campaign of the war. one gave
his life facing the enemy on the Aisne.
The other was wounded in the same
battle, recovered and went into the
bloody fighting of the Argonne, where
he was wounded again. Restored t.
health, he has been honOrably dis
charged from the army.
Thus has humanism been justified.
Stern military law would have sent
these lads to unhonored graves; the
Intervention of the commander-in-
chief, burdened with weighty prob
lens, saved to the nation two splendid
soldiers who by their example in liv-
ing, did more to sustain the morale
of their comrades than could the
example of their execution. There Is
not much wrong with the heart of a
country whose president takes note of
the humblest private, to save him, and
whose soldiers so completely vindcate
themselves.
Sebastian and Cook--these were
their names-were only boys. one 10,
the other 20. There are many lads
of this age at home who sleep at their
posts. We should know that no treat
such as these with too exact penalty
may only confirm them in their fail
ing. Confidence inspires worthiness.
