Land Values Raised

The amount raised BY taxation
this year in Sioux County will be
approximately double that Of last
year. This is. largely due to the
TACT that the budget for local pur-
poses. which was presented to
tho Board Of County Commissioners
this week Tor, final acceptance, ID
nearly twice as large as the one q
dopted last year. The amount
which will be raised for state pur-
poses, on the other hand, remains
much the same. The amount
obe raised for local purposes is,
Of course, necessarily much greater
thah the state tax; hence the great
increase in spite Of the small raise
insthe state levy.

Work to Conclude
y Session This Week
ADJOURN SOON

BOISE, Idaho. March 4.-The fif
teenth Idaho legislature will adjourn
Friday or Saturday of this week, i
the present plans of leaders in tn,
two houses materialize. They art
exerting every effort to move the i'm
portant legislation out of the way 81
this can be accomplished. 1t is no,
possible, they say now, to adjourn
sine die on the last scheduled day
Thursday, as had been hoped. Mem
bers will have to work at least one
and probably two days overtime. Ir
the meantime the more important
bills are being considered.
There will be no investigation Of
state institutions to determine where
they will be permanently located ir
the future, thereby removing the
biennial uncertainty that exists, fol
the house Of representatives slaugh,
tered it's own bill so providing today
by indefinitely postponing it. This
measure was introduced by the state
affairs committee. It authorized the
creation of q commission of FIVE mem.
bers to recommend to the next leg.
|Hslature where all state institutions
should be definitely located. Repre-.
sentative Carpenter Of Nez Perce
moved that the bill be indefinitely
postponed when it came up for third
reading and final passage. The mo.
tion prevailed by viva voce vote
There was no debate and only q few
feeble nay votes.
Every session of the legislature
there is agitation for the removal OF
consolidation Of some state institu-
tion with another. This session an
attempt was made to consolidate
the Albion Normal with the Idaho
Technical institute at Pocatello, but
the act so providing was killed. The
revised fish and game bill was one
of the more important measures
passed by the house during the day,
In 1t every sportsman in the state is
interested. While 1t does not pro-
vide fish and game commission, II
vests the state fish and game warden
with greater powers and strengthens
the law. There was no opposition
to 1t in the house, where Representa-
tive Hugo of Latah county directed
its passage. Financial assistance was
given to various sections of the state
by the passage Of three senate bills
by the house, sending them to the
governor for approval. The first of
these Is the Walker bill, appropriat-
ing $4,000 for the construction of
bridge across the Kootenai river
at Lonero in Boundary county. The
second appropriates $4,000 for the
improvement of Lava Hot Springs
in Bannock county and $4,000 to
improve the Snake river at Lorenzo.

SENSIBLE ECON
0MY IN PRINTING
How the Courts Cut the
Printing Bills and
Make Saving
PRINTERS GLAD

. For many years a source of eX-
pense and dissatisfaction has been
ruffling the spirits of printers, law
yers and county officials, in connec-
ton with the printing of court calen-
dars, which are a program of cases
to be tried in the district court, and
printing briefs and transcripts, which
are reviews of evidence and argu-
ments in book form for the use Of
judges Of the supreme court review
ing cases that go up ON appeal.
Long ago when printing was cheap,
when machinery was cheap and
printers worked for about $3.50 to
$500 day, briefs and transcripts
we're printed for Is cents and $1.O0
a page. Ten years ago the cost Of
these things and other printing ma
terials had gone up so that a print
ing house delivered that kind of a
job at those prices, he did not more
than get expenses out Of it, and pro-
gressive managers got so they wav-
cred between refusing the business
or doing it at cost to accommodate
the courts, or raising the price and
having to admit that he was above
the market price and asking more
than the rate approved by the courts.
Neither course was agreeable to all.
The printing of court calendars suf-
fered about the same handicaps.
In the meantime the mimeograph
has been developing into a pretty
good instrument, and as typists have
acquired such fine skill that they can
give exactly the same touch or stroke
to each and every key and letter, it
has become possible for the typist
to make perfect stencils to govern
the Impressions on the mimeograph.
While this was going on, paper
makers developed mimeograph
paper that would take the impress
sions more perfectly and not run"
the letters into odd and sloppy forms
that made difficult reading.
Bingham county used to hand a
job of printing to some printing
house on Friday morning before
court convened on Monday; and then
the house worked early and late to
rush the job thru by Saturday after
noon SO the books could be ready
for distribution among the attorneys
who would begin demanding them
about Saturday morning. They
could not be printed sooner because
the record could not be closed
sooner. The printers bill would be
about $40 or $50 and he would not
care whether he ever got another
such order, because it was rush
job and bore little or no profits for
him
Now the typist makes few pages
Of stencils on her typewriter, does
a little printing on the mimeograph
staples them together in sets and the
job is done. The county stenog-
rapher or typists in the county Of
fees can take care of this work in
connection with the rest of their
duties, and it wipes out large ex-
pense bill. The same can be done
with briefs and"trascripts, and courts
will have something they can read,
and printers will be saved from the
embarrassment Of doing work that
is just about like the.druggist keep
ing a stock Of postage stamps on
hand to resell to belated people who
fail to get in on time at the post
office.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-03-07

There is lot of government ex-
pense that can be wiped out when
county officials are willing to create
a printing committee to systemize
the printing orders, and other COM
mittiees or experts to systematic
other things that are now done on
the hit and miss plan, governed by
convenience and politics rather than
by good hard business sense.
The pinch of war has squeezed the
nonsense out of a good many customs
and methods of doing things and peo-
pie should be awake to these changes
and see that there is no relapse to
the old foolish ways of operating.

Anyway, we gave our best;
