AGRICULTURE AND TAXES


There is a condition existing in
Boundary county the presence of
which is not generally recognized,
That is the fact that the assessed
valuation of the property within the
county is gradually decreasing from
year to year. County Assessor Reid
and the county commissioners are
well aware of this condition and have
been wondering how the necessary
revenues of the county are to be
raised without increasing the tax
levy.
This condition of decreasing as
sessed valuation is due to the rather
rapid cutting off of the timber re-
sources of the county, without cor
responding development and increase
in valuation of the districts other
resources. 1t is inevitable in a timber
country, if agricultural and other de-
velopment lags behind the removal of
the timber crop.
There are two factors locally that
will relieve this situation and that is
o more rapid and intense development
of the agricultural and mining in
dustries Of the county. County Com
missioners Welch and Rath, in CONVEX
sation with the Herald recently, stated
that the united effort of the entire
community uphf IN ba thr-o1r-v, ,.,bo1o
heartedly, into a more rapid develop
ment of the local farming industry
1t was their contention that the com
munity ought to recognize this task
as one of supreme Importance, and
leave nothing undone that would null
tiply our farms and make them more
profitable They speak the truth
1t is fact that cannot be empha-
sized too vigorously nor too often that
the future prosperity of Boundary
county will rest on it's agricultural
development. The magnificent timber
resources inherited from beneficient
nature will some day be removed.
That day is already in sight, and the
decreasing property valuation is proof
of it. 1t is none too soon to turn the
community's attention to fostering our
other resources. Every aid and en-
cOuragement should be given develop
ing agricultural industries, such as
the growing of high grade seed pota-
toes, the assistance of the dairying
interests, and the employment of a
county agent. Commissioners WEIGH
and Rath maintained that more at
tention should be paid to our stump
lands and assistance given in every
possible way to their conversion into
productive farms. They contend that
within the county's stump lands there
are great latent possibilities, and urge
the utmost cooperation between bust
ness and farming interests to secure
their development.
Likewise legitimate mining develop
ment needs every encouragement
Conservative mining men with years
of experience in other and productive
mining districts state as their belief
that Boundary county has great min
eral resources awaiting development
The Continental mine is already one
of the largest producers in the state

SHEEP OR NO SHEEP

The Boundary County Fish and
Game Protective association has
caused no small amount of discus
sion by its recent stand against the
grazing of sheep in local national
forests. There is more or less argu-
lment heard-some of it rather heated
ON both sides of the question.
The man who enjoys hunting and
the preservation of game is taking
"a vigorous stand against the sheep
He is backed in many instances by
the farmer who is engaged in building
up the dairy and stock industries of
the county. The sportsman claims
that deer and other game will not
remain in a district in which sheep
grace. The sheep destroy grouse
nests and huckleberry patches All
of which is quite generally admitted
The cattleman insists that sheep
destroy his range and cites the we'll
known fact that cattle will not feed
over a sheep range. He further main
tains that this is not a sheep country
and never will be, but that it can be
developed into a profitable dairy and
beef raising district
The arguments of those who favor
the sheep were stated by Supervisor
j. A. Fitzwater of the Pend dOreille
national forest at the commercial club
banquet. Assessor w. C. Reid states
the county receives annually from
$4,000 to $4,000 in migratory stock
taxes from the sheep men. Other ex-
penditures within the county by these
men and their employees increases
the sum spent here to $4,000 or $4,000
annually, and all of it good pay.
Supervisor Fitzwater also took this
stand. He cited the fact that we
must have wool and mutton, and
asked where this wool and mutton
were to come from if sheep grazing
is not allowed in the national forests
For if sheep are debarred from the
local forests, other communities have
the same right to demand similar
action
To an unprejudiced observer of the
controversy it would seem that there
ought to be. and probably is, some
means by which all parties, includ-
ing sportsmen, cattle raisers and
sheep men, may be protected in their
rights. 1t is known that in some
national forests at least, sheep by
the tens of thousands are permitted
to Craze in certain well defined dis
t lets and vigorously kelt within
those confines. Other portions of
the forest are given over to cattle
and they are protected there. ID
would seem that such an arrangement
ought to be possible here.
Few of us care to have our rapidly
decreasing wild life further dimin-
ished by the presence of sheep. Meth
err if it is possible TO prevent it,
should the pleasure recreation and
profit many enjoy from the buckle
berry patches be, destroyed And
every aid should be given the de-
veloping dairy industry. On the other
hand it would seem that careful
thought should be given the matter
before any concerted action is taken
locally to drive out an industry that
brings into the county several thous-
and dollars annually, as well as pro-
viding in measure, however small
wool and meat for the nation
If local conditions make such action
possible, the sheep ought to be re-

do as little damage as possible and
where they will not clash with the
cattle and game interests of the coun-

"Ill do anything you wish,
Hal, dear" l said, but I could

"Neither did l." said Ha en-
expectedly, "but Duane said that
no girl thought she was married
if she could not speak of the
Falls as the completion of her
wedding trip; he intimated that
it was as much to girl as her
wedding veil or any of the oLher
foolish tradition that cling about
wedding. And so, as we had
missed out from the trip across the
continent, l bought the tickets
for the Falls.

ernment offers a bonus for quick

gested Niagara Falls thought

two or three days and then go on

fact.
| wish to COntrOvert your edi-
tOrial article under date of April
10, wherein you state that a pro-
tective tariff on hops would work
against the marketing of Ameri-
can hops, and that it is the Eng
! lish brewer who buys the Ameri-
can hops.
Official import figures for the
last II months show that there
were dumped onto the American
market from the foreign countries
Of Germany, Austria and Russia
equivalent to $4,000 American
bales, which is four times more
than were imported during the
preceding four years, not wi n
standing there remains in the
hands of hop growers on the Pa
cific coast approximately 10000
bales, with a declining market,
now below the cost of production,
it is plainly seen if the tariff had
been adequately high enough to
haxe prohibited the impofLat.Uh CT
these cheap grown hops, that these
holdings would have been absorbed
right here at home, and at a fair
living price.
From best information obtained
from the United States department
of labor, commerce and agricul-
ture shows that during 1913 the
labor cost in the United States
was two and one-third times great
er than Germany, while in 1920
the labor costs were Is times more
than Germany, which is lower
than the cheapest Asiatic Coolie
ever dreamed of being We abso-
lutely cannot compete with this
cheap labor. Suppose Germany was
to dump her hops onto our market
at 4c per pound over her cost of
production, at the present rate of
exchange when you convert our
money into her money she would
be receiving a fabulous price for
her hops.
The English hop growers are
protected against the dumping Of
hops onto their market, the BRIT
ish government has placed an em-
barge on the importation of hops,
and their hop growers are guAran-
teed a good living price above the
cost of production.
When the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill fixed the price at 16c per
pound conditions were vastly diff
ferent from what they are at
present in the European countries
and the United States. at that time
America had the British impurra-
tiOns to supply. and then America
had an enormous home ConSun o.
tion to supply, and our importa-
tions equalled so percent Of orr
home consumption, and our home
consumption has decreased so per
cent. 1t is obviously manifest that.
a tariff duty is urgently required.
and double the present duty of lGt
per pound is relatively much lowe~
than when the Payne Aldrich tar .
iff bill was enacted. considering I
