Total Value $500 25o,12e.11
per cent on local plants.
County Assessment, $4,905,950; 40
per cent on Power and Transmission
lotal assessment of all property,
$30,642,647.
In other words, the State Board of
Equalization boldly and defiantly per-
mitted $50,000,000 worth of property
which is paying its wealthy stock
holders fat dividends taken from it's
patrons to ESCAPE TAXATION EN-
TlkELY, thus adding to the tax bur-
dens which others must pay.
LESS THAN LAST YEAR
Last year the Montana Power Com
pany and its subsidiary concerns paid
taxes on a valuation of $1O,846, 900,
while this year paying for taxation
purposes on basis of 30 per cent on
what it is assessed by the counties.
and 40 per cent on power and trans
mission assessed by the state and it
will pay taxes on a total valuation of
but $9,7s3, ,789, OR ON OVER $1,OOO,-
600 LESS THAN LAST YEAR.
Everyone else sees their taxes
boosted, but the Montana Power Co.,
poor thing, GETS A DECREASE.
BELL TELEPHONE co. HIT
Just one corporation, The Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph Co.
was given substantial increase of
35 per cent over last year. This COM
pany "a part of the Bell System)
filed statement of the value of it's
with the Utilities Commits
ison, placing it at $7,643;5S4 in Dec.
1917, and it is worth more now. It
was assessed by the state board at
$5,550,000. This is $2,000.OO0 less
than it should be, but nearer correct
than the other corporation property.
It was Disseminated against probab-
ly because it is an outside corpora
tion, or maintains smaller slush
fund.

STATE BOARD LET $l05 100000 OF CORPORATION PROPERTY
GO FREE-RAEE LAND And LIVESTOCK HUNDRED PER CENT

The work of the boldest brigands
in history. the robberies Of the James
and Younger gangs were as childs
play compared to the unblushing rob-
berry Of the taxpayers of Montana OF
the taxes on property Of seven big
corporations in this state to the value
Of $105, 500, 900 perpetrated by the
State Board of Equalization which
practically concluded its session last
Saturday. ..
This is no wild statement. The fig
ures which are given below prove
that, despite the fact that the law
plainly says all property must be as
sessed at it's full and trus value, the
State Board fixed the value of these
even corporations at S105, 500, 600
LESS THAN THE OFFICERS OF
THE CORPORATIONS SWORE THE
PROPERTY WAS WORTH.
SWORN STATEMENTS ON FILE
1t is an easy matter for any one
to prove these assertions. because
most Of the seven corpol ations named
later in detail. have their sworn re-
ports filed with the Public Utilities
Commission at Helena FOR THE
PURPOSE OF KEEPING THEIR
RATES UP TO THE HIGHEST
NOTCH.
A FAIR PROPOSITION
Is it not, therefore, a fair PROPOSE
tion to set the value of corporation
at the figures upon which that COR
porRtion makes a good income?
There are three ways. of arriving
1T the va1uo If the assets nf ., cnr-
poration. One way is to add capital
stock and bonds; another is to take
the NET earnings from three to five
years, and find what capital would be
necessary to produce that sum at i
per cent; the third method is to COM
9ut the physical value Of the pro-
perty, which, taking a railroad for
would include right-of-way,
raeksge, rolling stock; tcrainals /

TAXPAYERS ARE SLOW IN MAX
ING RETURNS.

Taxpayers of Bourbon county are
not coming forward with their assess
ment lists as rapidly as they should,
according to County Tax Commission
er Walter Clark and Deputy John j.
Redmon. -...-.
The new law provides that the
property-owners must appear at the
County Tax Commissioners Office
and give in a list of their property.
If they do not come in person and
list their property for taxation, the
Commissioners must do it for them.
Messrs. Clark and Redmon are &C.
commodating and efficient officials.
but if a large percentage Of the tax
payers wait until the last few days
to file their lists, there will be such
a crowd at the Office that the work
will be seriously delayed and the
Commissioners hampered, in spite of
all their efforts to expediate the
work and keep the Office going.

AS an inducement to the out-Of-
town persons who desire to go to
Lexington during fair week, all rail-
road companies whose lines pass
through Lexington have agreed to
carry passengers to and from the
city for one and one-half times the
regular one-way fare.
One of the features of the Fair, &C
cording to Secretary Walker, will be
the Rainbow Division Band and the
feature of the band will be Tony
Novak, tenor.

singing with Elsie Janis when that
famous musical comedy star was in
France singing to the soldiers.
Novak had the added distinction OF
singing before the peace conference
at Versailles.

AMERICAN LEGION TO BE FORM.
ED HERE.

Mr.. William Collins, of North Mid

nization Chairman for the American
Legion in Bourbon County and is
now engaged in initial work toward
the establishment of the Bourbon
County Post of the new national as
ISOLATION of soldiers, sailors and ma
rines who served at home and abroad
during the great war. A county or
ganization. committee is in process of
formation.
One of the first steps to be taken
by the local veterans will be the for
warding of an application for char

ter-Southern Building Louisville.
On recommendation of the Kentucky
organization, the charter will be
issued directly from temporary ma

the eligible veterans. Judge James
p. Gregory, of Louisville, head of the

its purpose of taking a part in ma
tional and local affairs in the belief
that the ideals which carried its

BOURBON FARMING CONDITIONS.

The long drouth which has pre-
vailed in many sections of the county
was broken by recent rains, and the
late corn and tobacco have been
been greatly benefited. Some hail
and wind accompanied the rains, but
no great damage of any consequence
was caused. While considerable to-
bacco was planted early and got an
early start the rains came too late.
A part of the crop had to be cut and
housed to prevent damage from the
hot rays of the sun, but the larger
portion of the crop being set late will
now have a chance to grow out. The
same is true of. the late corn. The
rains have revived the grass and
there will be a good growth for fall
grazing. Late planted garden truck
will also be benefited by the rains.
The prices of vegetables on the local
market have already declined, show
ing the effects of the rains in bring
ing rapid growth. Farming condf--
tions in the county are generally
satisfactory.
