Some Old Tax Stories


properly and make political heroes
of themselves. SO they spread the
word around that ON that certain
day there would be real scrap be-
tween the people and the "inter-
ests," and everybody from High &
Stout down to High Cherry and Bill
lious planned to be there and see
how 1t was done.
On the evening before the hear
ing, the tax man of the railroad COM
pany arrived from Salt Lake City.
At McCammon he had accidentally
talked with a man on the train who
professed to know just about how
much stock Mr.. Hardness had on
the range, and the railroad tax man
memorized the information. AS
soon as he arrived at Blackfoot he
talked with the company's agent
(think it must have been Fred Vog-
ler) and said to him in the presence
of one Of Mr.. Hardness friends, that
he was going to expose Mr.. Hark-
ness good and plenty on the score
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-05-28

of his own low assessment, and make
a monkey Of him in the meeting
AS might be expected, this friend
eaeriedt the information straight to
II MI. Hardness, just as the tax man
hoped he would. When the meeting
was called to order in the old dance
hall that was being used for court
house, there was jam that took
up all the standing room. Fred
Stevens, George Gordon, John Mont
gomery, Al Stout, Perry Ansen. Fred
T. Dubois, George Rogers, Charlie
Bunting, Rheuben Osborn, Joe Par
sons, Judge Crawford, John Watson,
John Porter, John Killian, lot of
freighters, some cowpunchers and a
goodly bunch of gamblers and bar
tenders were present to witness the
d0ings.
Chairman Hardness chewed his
cigar-end nervously. He did not call
the order of business as had been
indicated he would, and he stalled"
in every way he could, sparring with
the railroad tax man without COM
ing directly to the subject of the
railroad assessment. The tax man
was very wise, and SO long as the
railroad tax was not raised he was
satisfied. Finally Mr.. Hardness
succeeded in having one of his col
leagues make a motion to adjourn
the meeting for thirty days, and II
was adopted.
The crowd scattered in disappoint-
ment and the officials made the
best of bad situation, hoping the
crowd would not convene at the
new date. The men forgot about it
and the board and the tax man met
in quiet session with no witnesses,
the board proposed raising the ass
essment of the railroad company to
$500 a mile, and the tax man
asked that it be left as it was, smil-
ing as he made the request, and look
ing very wise at Mr.. Hardness. The
chairman remarked that he thought
the request very reasonable one
in the face of existing conditions,
and his colleagues made and passed
the necessary motion to place it on
the records as adopted.
A quarter of century has passed
and most of the actors in those
events have passed, but the railroad
company pays on an assessed valua-
ton of $4,000 a mile now, and the
board will soon sit again to hear the
protest of the railroad company and
others if they wish to say anything
as to why their assessment should
not be so high.

SALEM, Jan. 2s.-with approx
sued so far this year, the automobile
registration department Of the secre-
tary Of states office Monday had
worked its way through the mass of
applications with which it was delug-
ed at the first of the year and is now
Issuing license plates promptly upon
d. mand. so that there is no longer any
excuse for any mntorist evading the
motor vehicle law by operating his car
with an old license tag or with no IL
cense tag at all. Notice is being sent
to the police officers OF all counties
throughout the state to this effect and
delinquent motor vehicle owners are
warned to beware.
License tags have also been issued
for 1850 motorcycles, 100 chauffeurs
and $40 motor vehicle dealers, the re-
ceipts of the department to date ag-
gregating approximately $1,260,O00-
The business Of the department this
year shows a material increase over
the business of a year ago. Up to JAM
uary 26. 1919, licenses had been issu-
ed for 1929 automobiles, 1875 motor
cycles. 1900 chauffeurs and S41 deal
ers. with total receipts of sS4254o.
The increase in the fees this year over
those of last year, however, is account
ed for by the large increase in the Ii
cense fees imposed by the last regular
session of the legislature and which
became operative with the 1920 IL
censes.
