TO the American Man" in his annual
report submitted to the president and
congress. While we are having our at

Ing the greatest asset of them all, he
points out. This very able--we should

cabinet refers to the average Ameri-
can. The suggestion thus offered by
Secretary Lane is well worth the SER
ious consideration by the educate IS OF
the country. The boys and girls of
today are the citizens Of the future and
the greatest care should be exercised In
teaching them first to be Americans
to love and respect their country, to
idealize its traditions and to pattern
after its great men and women.
The statement of Secretary Lane
should be kept In mind at all times
He has the happy faculty of expressing
himself clearly and well, and this ar,

APPRAISAL VALUES
Common Cattle $50 Per Head
Sheep IS Per Head

Left to the Officials.

Assessors of the state will probab-
ly hold sessions Wednesday in order
to dispose of the many problems and
questions that have piled up before
them since they began their annual
convention Monday, 1t became appar-
emit today.
The assessors have reached an
agreement as to the assessment values
on livestock, but have still to decide
questions of land values and of statis-
teal information which they gather as
part of their work.
Monday afternoon the following APP
praisal figures were adopted for gem
eral assessment purposes for this year:
LIVESTOCK VALUES.
Common cattle, $50 per head; mich
cows, $40 per head; graded and thor
oughbred. 365 and up; calves, six
months to year, SIS; registered bulls,
800; beef cattle, $50; stations and
hogs at assessors discretion.
This morning the assessors amended
their minutes of Monday referring to
assessment of common horses at $15
per head, so that the appraisal will be
left to the Judgment of the assessor.
the opinion of the majority on second
thought being that the values of horses
vary greatly in different parts of the
state, beoing as low as IS per head
in some sections, and as high as $50 to
SIS per head in others.
SHEEP REMAIN Is.
The convention voted this morning
to leave sheep assessments the same
as last year, IS per head. Bees will
be assessed this year at So per stand
This afternoon the assessors will hear
talk by President A. L. Freehafer OF
the public utilities commission on util-
ity valuations and other matters OF
which the public utilities commission
has official knowledge. Under a law
passed by the last legislature, utilities
of the state are required to file inven-
tories of their physical valuation. The
relation of these figures to assessment,
valuation figures will probably bt
touched upon.
The assessors this morning heard
talks by o. H. Barber, state immigra
ton labor and statistics commissioner
and Julius H. Jacobson, federal croI
reporter for Idaho, regarding stats
teal information which the assessors
are required to gather. This is the frs
year that the assessors have been re
quired to gather industrial informa
ton, and Mr.. Jacobson gave them som,
tips on this work.
