Idaho's low state tax levy is awaken
ing much interest throughout the
northwest Idahos state taxes are
lower than the levy OF any adjoining
state, although higher that they have
ever been before. Washington, with
tax levy for state purposes of ll.S4
mills as compared with Idahos levy
which averages less than eight mills
is a good comparison. Washington
has not, for many years, had as low
a levy as Idaho has now, with the
highest levy this state has ever had.
But Idaho is getting more for its mon
ey than any other state, thanks to the
splendid administration of Governor
Davis and his able corps of commits
sioners and the other state officials.

The law department of the UNIVERSE
ty of Idaho has larger per centage
enrolment than the law school of the
University of Washington. The lat
ter school would have almost twice
as many law students as it has now II
il had the same number in proportion
to it's enrolment as the University OF |
Idaho has. The law department OF
the Idaho university is a much larger
and more important department than I
is generally known, even here in Mos
COW. With the addition of Dean
Cockerill it now has remarkably
strong staff and is in a position to do
splendid work. Moscow and the uni
yersity will be proud of the law class
that will graduate here next June.
