Latah county commissioners, sitting
as a board of equalization on the per-
sonal property tax roll, late Thursday

ductions were made in the assessments

The commissioners found that the
average assessment of property in
Latah county, both real and personal,
is sc and two-thirds per cent of it's
actual value for the purpose of tax
alton.
The commissioners recessed until 8
O'Clock Monday morning, December
10, and at 10 o'clock the four banks of
the county, whose assessments on
capital stock have been raised, will be
given hearing to show cause why
their assessments on bank stock

Elmer Paulson of Moscow. |
Under the new system adopted by
he commissioners whereby the capt.
al stock of all banks will be assessed
1T a ratio with other property of sc I
Ind two-thirds per cent, the capital
stock of the First National bank of
Moscow was raised from nothing to
IN assessed valuation of $3599 a
hare; the First Trust and Savings
Bank of Moscow from $13.30 to $29.06
share; the Moscow State Bank from

The eight other banks of the coun-
y all received reductions on the as
essed valuation of their capital stock
N account of the fact that they have
mailer holdings in banking house
urniture and fixtures and in real
state.
Bankers Claimed High Ratio
Appearances were made before the
oard recently by representatives of
Practically every bank in the county
0 protest their assessments on their
apital stock. The bankers claimed
hat they were assessed on their stock
n a dollar for dollar basis while
ther personal property was assessed
t a disproportionate and lower rate
The chief contention expected to
ONE up over the assessment basis is
hat the county board of equalization
as deducted the real estate and fur
iture and fixtures holdings of the
anks from the real property roll
'hile the bankers have deducted these
ems from the book values as carried
n their own books

BELIEVES 35,0OO,OOO

Stockholm-(By A. P.)-Mamim
Gorky, Russian novelist and formerly
head of the Russian Relief Commits
sion, told The Associated Press cor
respondent when he passed through
this city on his way to Berlin that he
believed the deaths from starvation in
Russia would aggregate 35,000,000.
He heartily praised the support
which the American people were CIV
ing to the starving people of Russia
but said the only way out Of the seri-
Gus situation would be through the
establishment of international relief
founded on the American plan, broad,
efficient, complete and well controll-
ed.
He doubted, however, whether the
necessary relief would arrive in time
to avert disaster
He expressed the opinion that Mr..
Hoover's relief plan was somewhat i'm
perfect and lacked organization, be-
cause sufficient safeguards were not
taken to prevent the stealing of the
food by gangs or Soviet officials, from
the time the commodities arrived in
Petrograd until they are consumed
M. Gorky said Mr.. Hoover had
placed too much confidence in the
Soviet.
He deplored the passivity of France
and excused Germany for not coming
to the support of Russia. Swedens
to the famine he thought
was but a drop in the ocean.
On the question of Russian interior
politics, GOrky said unrest is as
as dinner is here, but nobody
lakes any notice. Quite recently
there was a fierce riot in Petrograd
which was only quelled after much

OVERSEAS CAPS FOR THE
STATE UNIVERSITY CADETS

Norman, April 2,-R. o. II. c. cadets
at the University of Oklahoma will
know at least one of the sensations of
being "doughboys."
Overseas caps, made by the thous.
ands during the war. will be issued TO
college cadets TO distinguish them from
the regular enlisted army men, ac-
cording TO an extract from the Army
and Navy journal. This will enable the
war department to get some service
out of the immense surplus of overseas
headgear on hand, it is believed.
Cadets of more than two years train
ing, or out of the basic course, will be
distinguished by red piping or tape
on their overseas cap seams. Men in
first and second year work will have
blue tape over their seams, according
to the bulletin. The highest distinction
insignia will be a black stripe on the
seams. The caps will not be worn until
next year.
