Taxes Nearly Trehed

State taxes in Idaho will treble
this year over last.
The state board of equalization
will not determine the tax rate for
some days yet, but it is known
that approximately $2,352, ,884.3O
must be raised this year for state
taxes in excess of the 81, ,222. 132. 80
raised by taxation in 1918.
There are several causes for the
big advance. Appropriations for
the maintenance of state govern
ment in 1917-1918 totaled $780,
O61.53. In 1919-1920 appropriations
made for the biennium by the last
legislature totaled SIS, 749, ,668.68, an
increase of almost $4,000, 900.
A direct appropriation of 1896. 900
annually during the next two years
for highways and interest on bonds
for the new capitol wings. an ad
valorem tax of 25-l0O mills for the
tuberculosis hospitals and the inter-
est on $9OO,OOO worth of highway
bonds voted by the legislature in
1917 is responsible for the balance
of the taxes which must be met this
year.
The state Iii 1918 raised 81, ,222,
1872 80 in taxes among the property
owners and the public utilities in
the several counties.
This year it must raise total
of approximately $3,384, ,195.41.>
The ad vaiorem tax fixed by the
legislature in 1917 for 1917-191e
was $1,OO0,OO0 annually. The ad
vaIorem tax fixed by the last legis-
lature for l919-192O was So, 900, ,OO(
annually. In addition to the ad
valorem tax for the general func
out of which it paid the running
expenses Of the several departments
Of the state government and the up
Keep and maintenance of the severa
state educational, penal and charlt
able institutions there is direct ac
valorem tax Of $685. for gooe
roads to be met.
The tax rate in 1918 for genera
tax levy, or the fund out of which
the operating expenses OF the stat
government are paid, was .O02
mills or $2.20 for each $1,000 valu
alton on property. This year tn
tax rate for the general tax lev.
will be doubled what it was las
year, or $4.40 for each $1,000 valu
alton. Other taxes will probabl
bring the state tax to more than 81
Valuations reported by the a
county assessors of the state ar
only 100000 greater than in l9l
and the public utilities are, wit
but few exceptions, asking re
duction in taxes.

that means more expensive production.

OF course, if the United States werei
bound by an existing guaranty it |
could not in good faith make the guar
anty worthless by refusing to consent
to any means of enforcement. Free
dom to repudiate an obligation is not
the freedom we desire. Nor does it'll
answer to call the obligation merely al
moral one. BECAUSE of lack Of enforce
ability. We should hope that we should
regard a moral obligation as binding as
any other * n !.
Ny objection to Article X is that,
unlike Article XT, it is not properly
limited to an agreement to confer and
to decide in the future npon. the course
of action which would then seem to be
in accordance with the dictates of jus
tlce and our views as TO what as a
nation we should undertake, but Gun

be taken to bind us to an immediate
and continuing guaranty as to the terri

recognize the means of fulfillment.
Hence. / think that Article X should

its advocates insist that it imports no

CATION shall be fulfilled.

 One Berlin paper states that the peace treaty does not follow the Four teen original points proposed by Presi- dent Wilson.
 Another newspaper says that the Allies are only trying to crush the life out of Germany.
 The Vorwearts says: "The treaty will bring a peace of annihilation and shows a ruthless desire to lay Ger many low by force. We reject in our hearts"

PARIS, May O. "Go to Paris, Why these American officers won't let a fellow go to Paris unless he's got leave signed by Pershing himself with gold ink"
 This is one of the most popular lines in "Let's go," the soldier show which recently del'vhted thousands oI American soldiers in Paris and has moved off to ports of authorization to rive the homcgoing troops farewell performances.
 Lets Go" is described as mart ial mirthful, musical barrage in SIX yollcys". The fun starts on camou- f'aged ship which arrives at port in France with American soldiers, taScS thcm to the western front and finally lands them in a cafe in Paris.
 The trials and tribulations of pri- yates Red Cross nurses, Young Men Mems Christian Association girls, Sal vation Army lasses and other war workers are followed through the trenches and hospitals.
