Schools May Close
at Twin Falls Due
to Lack of Funds

No salaries have been paid to
teachers, janitors or executive Of
ficials Of the Twin Falls independent
school district for the month of jan
uary and it is not unlikely, owing to
the conditions, that the entire school
system of the district may be closed
for the remainder of the current year.
In an effort to keep expenses at
the lowest possible point, one-mill
levy, In addition to the legal maxi
mum levy, was asked by district d.
rectors last year. This additional
levy, it is said, should have been two
or even three mills. It is estimated
that approximately $4,000 will be
required to meet expenses the bal
ance Of the year.
Enrolment in the schools total
about 1900 pupils and there are ! 10
teachers. Every effort is being made
to avoid. closing.

S. L. Hodgin is in Boise in conference

TIGHTENING THE BELT
ON IDAHO TAXATION

The Idaho legislative thought Ii
directed more exclusively than evel
before to the subject of reduced tax
alton. This has taken a variety Of
turns. There are unnumerable sug
gestions and sort of program has
been worked out by some proponents
of reduction. Others have modifica
tons of that policy.
1t must be admitted, tho, thai
little practical benefit will come te
the public unless there shall be q
reasonable reduction in county
school or other local forms of taxa
ton. The state tax is, indeed, 9
small item, comparatively. If even
half of it were cut off it would not
show strongly in the pocketbook Of
the average taxpayer. The legisla'
ture, however, can only exercise Ger.
tain authority in that direction. Il
can, first of all, set an example and
then curb the powers of local taxing
boards within it's constitutional
province.
In the process of the state tax cut
less revolutionary proposals. Adolf.
ton of the office of commissioner OF
education is strongly urged. Advo-
Gates of this plan contend that this
is an unnecessary office, under
present conditions, and especially in
view of the state board, the state
school superintendent and local
school authorities. They also charge
that the official actions of the com.
missioner are mixed by almost
kaiseristic expressions of power and
dictatorship. They believe the Of
flee can be wiped out without in any
way impairing the cause of practical
education and with better provision
for caring for the grade schools and
at less cost as to the total state
school budget.
Another proposal is to eliminate
the office of commissioner of immi-
grafton, labor and statistics, around
which there may be battle royal.
This position is also declared to be
unnecessary at least for the next two
years.
The highway commission, which,
it is charged, is highly overengine-
cred, and not nearly enough
"roadeered" comes in for sharp CEN
sure. A revision of the personnel is
demanded with a heavy cut in en-
cheering and some other costs. The
importance of good roads, however,
is recognized generally, SO there is
no pronounced movement as yet to
also obliterate the department. The
thought seems to be to reduce it and
correct it and at the same time get
good highways.
Between it all the 1921 tax bill
may be smaller, but as stated, unless
local taxing authorities follow the
lead Of the state there will not be a
satisfactory reduction in the minds
of most tax payers.
The belt, If frightened at all, must
be frightened all the way round, not
only across a tenth of the tax body.
