he said he felt that Mr.. Stone was
taking such an unusual course that
he was FORGETTING the right to the
usual courtesies extended to men.
He said that when a committee was
ready to report on the question of
Specifications, after having held
some sessions over the matter and
completed their investigations, they
met to write up the report and he,
being typist used a typewriter and
at the dictation of the members of the
committee, the report was written.
When 1t was completed ana turned
over to the city clerk, Mr.. Stone
walked in and asked to see it. After
he had read it and was about to hand
it back to the city clerk. Mr.. Hartong
Of the Mcguire Construction COM
pany entered and asked TO see the re-
port, whereupon Mr.. Stone handed
it to him and accused him, Hartong,
of having written the report for the
committee. Mr.. Andersen said he
considered that a dirty insult re-
flecting upon the council and the
committee and that a man who
would stoop to such methods as that
was under suspicion In the rest of
the things he did.

MEET TO DISCUSS
FREIGHT RATES

Under the auspices of the Bonnie
vile County Farm Bureau a mass
meeting has been called to be held
in the court house at Idaho Falls at
8 O'Clock Thursday afternoon for the
purpose of discussing freight rates.
A meeting of eastern Idaho produc-
ers was held recently at POcatell0 at
which the matter of securing re-
duced freight rates was taken up.
The railroad company advised that
there would be no reductions ON
wheat rates. but that there had been
cut in rates on hay and rates on
potatoes were still under considers
ton.
In an endeavor to secure lower
freight rates on farm products Of this
section, which 1t is said will mean
the moving of thousands of dollars
worth of produce out of eastern and
southern Idaho, the matter Is to be
taken up with the public utilities
commission in an endeavor to get 1t
before the Interstate Commerce COM
mission. Farmers and business men
interested in the prosperity Of east
ern Idaho are urged to be in attend
ance at the meeting here Thursday
afternoon.-Idaho Falls Post.

PINGREE MAN TALKS TAXES

P. A. Troutner was in from Pin
gree the first of the week and said
he was much interested In the tax
articles now being published and said
he thought it was the proper time
for the public to make study of the
si:uation and to make such correc-
tions as they could of the practices
that are not profitable.
He said he was much surprised at
the way the department of the prOba-
tion officer is being handled and hav-
ing the expense charged up to the
taxpayers at large instead Of to the
individual families that have truant
children. Mr.. Troutner suggested
that il this mileage and salary is nee
essary, then it ought to be paid by
the individuals getting the direct
benefit of it and who are also the
cause Of it. He said that If the FAM
lilies were required to dig up the cash
for this mileage, he thought the very
first visit to them would settle the
whole trouble and there would be no
further difficulty from that family.
Some one has suggested that
law ought to be passed making it a
felony or misdemeanor to do any
thing to avoid the payment of taxes.
We already have such laws on the
statutes, but nobody is paying any
attention to their enforcement. Any
one who gives in information that is
incorrect and designed to reduce or
evade the payment of his taxes or
any portion of it is committing q
misdemeanor and any assessor or
deputy who knowingly permits this
to happen, is also committing mis-
demeanor. They are both liable to
fine Of from 500 to $500 for each
offense and the officer may be re-
moved from office and the fine COL
lected from his bondsmen.
The laws that are enforced the
best are those that have a reward at
tached to them. An officer is usually
very ready to 60 out and make a trip
II there is mileage attached to it for
the officer. We have just seen the
evidence of how laws Of this kind are
enforced and we have been publish
ing some statements indicating that
other laws regarding the evasion of
taxes are not enforced. One officer
is not likely to follow up and prose-
cute his fellow officer, thus making
discord and trouble in the official
family, but If there was taxpayers
association made up of men who had
the determination that people should
pay their taxes justly according to
the property they owned, then this
association might get action on mat
ters that would not be started other
wise. 1t takes some work, some in
vestigation and some punch put into
conclusions to get that kind Of laws

construction, thereby putting the
cement contractors at disadvantage
and acting for his Arm, he asked tina,
the council eliminate from their no.
tice for bids, everything pertaining
to concrete construction. Mr.. Stone
has been working for some time to
get a change made in the specifica.
tons for concrete construction, re-
ducing it to q cheaper construction
and postal cards have been mailed
to citizens interested in the subject
or owning property along the streets
to be paved, apparently for the pur-
pose of getting them interested in
the changing of the specification.
There is growing belief among the
citizens who are studying the sub
ject that Mr.. Stone and the Portland
Cement association are seeking to
lay the foundation for a lawsuit in
which they can enjoin the city coun-
Gil from going ahead with construc-
ton of any kind on the pavement un-
less such construction suits the
Portland Cement association. II
they could make number Of the
interested citizens believe that the
council in letting the contract for
four additional blocks of bitulithic
paving were not taking the cheapest
thing they could get for the money,
and get those interested citizens to
help stop the work by injunction
pending the decision in litigation,
then keep construction work tied up
in Blackfoot for a year or two while
the question is going up thru the
courts for final decision, and then
If they could finally get decision
from the court saying that a city
council had no right to choose the
kind of paving they like best if it
costs more than some other kind Of
paving that was probably about as
good, that might be carrying out the
designs of the Portland Cement as
ISOLATION.
The question of whether or not the
council would withdraw the speci-
fications for the construction were
referred to the city attorney, Judge
Andersen, who said he believed the
council should dispose of the matter
in that way. Referring to Mr.. Stone
and the question he brings before
the council, Mr.. Andersen reviewed
the situation saying that when the
bids were let for large amount of
construction work last summer, Mr..
Stone and the Portland Cement asso-
citation were not sufficiently inter-
ested to have bidders here seeking
to get the work, but after the main
contract had been let for bitulithic
construction when it was decided to
add four blocks more paving than
had already been contracted for, Mr..
Stone and the Portland Cement as
ISOLATION became interested to the
extent of bounding the council for
weeks and Of taking the matter up
with the council and individuals and
resorting to unusual methods to an
extent that lends color to the be-
lief that they are working with some
Interior motive. Further than that
