Observation-Disclosures
Using the Farm Bureau
WTVIWNVNgTgTNWZNgEgNNNyNgEzZg2gEW

Arthur ]. Snyder was in from his
pure seed farm at Springfield Monday
evening and said he had been follow
ing the discussion of the farm bu-
reau and the expense of the asses
sor's office and was much interested
in both.
He said he had taken the expense
account for assessing his township
and had not been able to account for
nearly as much mileage as was
charged to it but he had not charted
the roads and residences carefully
and his impressions about it might
not be correct. Then too, he said he
did not know how much. allowance
had to be made for going back where
men were away from home on the
occasion of the first visit Mr..
Snyder says he thinks the people are
at fault for a large amount Of the
property not being listed on the as
sessment roll. He believes that a
good many people are not conscienti-
GUS about reporting everything they
own to the assessor. He believes the
assessor is at fault and that the peo-
pie are at fault and that thy could
all study more carefully their duties
in the matter and live up to them

been doing.
Regarding the farm bureau Mr..
Snyder said he had been good deal
troubled about the matter for long
time and had entertained consider
able doubts about whether it is pro-
fitable to expend public money to
try to change the farm methods of the
adult population especially the older
men whose habits are fixed and who
do not like to change their ways of
farming. He has great faith in the
wisdom of expanding money to teach
the boys and girls and the young
folks the better methods in agricul-
ture. He says his own son has been
working in the boys and girls clubs
the past two years and that while
the first years work did not seem
to him to be profitable when they
were studying rabbits and raising
them, that the year 1920 had accom-
plished much because they were
studying things that are practical.
The market for rabbits does not
amount to much but when they go to
raising pigs and calves they are rails
ing something that there is always a
market for and probably always will
be. His son met with some success
in the competition, had trip to
Boise, had his eyes opened there as
to the advantages of raising pure
bred animals and he came back with
very definite idea about what he
wanted to do in agriculture and
stockraising. Mr.. Snyder believes

Reporting the State Business
By MARK A. SHIELDS

the majority party in the senate feel
that the legislature is under obliga-
ton to the people to do away with
the tax since a promise to this end
was made in the campaign.
1t has developed within the week
that the state highway department
owes 100000 which it cannot pay
without state aid. The department
has built roads with county aid, ex-
pecting to repay the counties this
year out of the road tax money.
There are sixteen or eighteen count
les which have advanced money to
the state on these highway con-
! tracts and they stand to lose unless
the tax is continued in force. Their
senators and representatives are
| fighting to get this money back.
The administration leaders in the
senate desire to repay the counties
out of the 100000 bond issue. To
do this would almost deplete the
fund and make the building of roads
in 1921 and 1922 almost out of the
question.
The governor fears the two-mills
tax because it will have the result
of running appropriations for this
biennium far beyond the original
estimate and keep taxes up to, or
above their present high level.
Senate bill No. 81 creating the
eleventh judicial district out of the
fourth district and creating the
twelfth judicial district out of the
seventh is now in the lower house,
where it is awaiting action. Oppo-
sition on the part of the people of
Canyon county is expected to delay
action on this bill, but apparently |
there is enough votes in the house
friendly to the proposed measure to
put it thru.
The lawyers in Bonneville county |
succeeded in blocking move on the
part of Senator Whitcomb, majority
leader in the senate, to take Clark
county out of the ninth district and
put it in the sixth and give the latter
district an additional Judge.
Senator Whitcomb had prepared
a bill to this end, but refrained from
introducing it. This bill, as drafted,
would have put him in line for an
appointment to place on the bench
in the sixth district. When a fight
broke in the senate over the division
of the fourth and seventh districts he
was placed in a position where he
almost had to withdraw his proposed
measure since it threatened to place
him in an embarrassing position.

that his son received more benefit
from the work Of the boys and girls
club work last year than he has re-
ceived all together and he has been
interested in the farm bureau work
Mr.. Snyder believes that the Diff
rerent activities of the farm bureau
work should be kept separate and
That the accounting should be fol-
lowd out accordingly. He thinks that
the farmers should finance their own
commercial operations and that the
public treasury should only furnish
the money to finance the educational
work.

 Attorney A. M. Brown of Norwich and Attorney Max Boyer of New London ap- peared for Holden. Attorney Brown asked for a reduction of the bond but the court held that s5.o0O is not excessive In view of the charge against the ac- cused. In a brief statement to the court Attorney Brown said: "In charging the accused with manslaughter. we believe that sthe prosecution has fulfilled its full duty. Knowing that the state has ample testimony and that this court cannot make final disposition in the matter. we have demHrred to the complaint, expect Ing that the demurrer would be over- ruled. We do not feel that a large bond should be asked. All one has to do is to look at this young man to realize that he is a clean cut chap and absolutely straight. He has been attached to the submarine base for the past five years and, if the law did not forbid 1t, would go on his. bond myself. The whole affair Is an unfortunate happening. but we dc not feel that your honor should ask a l large bond.'
