TO BUILD ROADS
One Reason For Increased
State Levy.

Boise, Ida, Aug. 3o.-Taxes for
maintenance of the state govern
ment will be higher for 1919 than
they were last year. This was def
nitely determined by the state
board of equalization, which was
in session most of the month of
August and completed its work,
establishing the levies. 1t is now
evident that state taxes will be
more than double what they have
been, due to additional levies
authorized by the last legislature.
1t is anticipated that this fact
will lay the grounds for political
arguments. In fact, the demo
cratic opposition has already
turned its guns on the republican
administration in criticism. OF the
increase.
The administration contends
that the levies fixed by the last
Legislature we're bound to increase
the taxes in the state and they
were powerless to prevent it.
The levies established by tie
state board are spread as follows:

Beat Brunswick To The Tune
OF 80.

The Thurmont High Schools warriors
of the Soccer Field nailed another victory
to their mast Monday afternoon of this
week when they beat the strong Bruus-
wick team 80.
The game was clearly played through
out, there being only two penalty kicks
during the entire game.
Thurmont's scoring was not done until
the second half Shortly after the half
was started Mcdaniel got the ball and
with comparatively clear field took it
through for the first count. The win
ing of the game was largely due to
McDaniel's brilliant offensive, all three
counts being made on his kicks. The
second goal, however, was made on a
fluke play by Houser. of Brunswick, who
knocked the ball through his own goal
with his head.
Thurmont now leads the county in the
soccer league, but they must win from
Middletown in order to clinch the cham
piop shin Tho lipa-up.

BRUSSELS. May 15.-That Belgium

withdrawal from the peace confer

finance. Upon consideration, however,
the Belgians decided to stand Loyalty
by her allies.
I'VE recognize that the allies grant
ed us big concessions, especially in
liberating us from over 81 900. 100000
of our war debt" said the premier.
1--WE still carry war taxation imposed
by Germany. but the conference has
decided that the Germans must pay
us 100000 before May /, 1921.
Unhappily we cannot collect anything
for damages caused to individual citi-
zens except what the Germans may
possibly pay on our approved list of
losses during the next thirty years.
I'VE are entering a great program
OF reconstruction and need a loan,
partly subscribed by ourselves and
partly by the allies. Germany has to
supply us with a tremendous amount
OF coal and also 10000 head of horses

Advices received at the naval base
here from Halifax, said that Lieuten-
ant Commander Read, of the NC-4
stopped there because he disliked TAX
ing a chance on landing in the dark
on the strange waters of Trepassey
bay. He was expected to complete the
hop today.
Fog of the entrance to Trepassey
bay will not prevent a start If condi-
tions in the upper air are considered
good. it was said today. The planes
could easily rise above the fog banks.
The NC-1 and NC-S spent the night
moored to the sterns of the Aroostook
and the Prairie. Their oil tanks were
connected to the ship by steam pipes
which kept the lubricants heated in
order to give them every advantage in
the take-off.
