Failed to Balance Budget

The third method indicated would be
for Germany TO buy foreign exchange
with her paper marks, which method,
in the view Of the experts, would be
even more disastrous than the second
method suggested.
The experts advocate the inclusion of
these three methods in note to the
Allies. with the statement that these
are the only ways open to Germany for
payment of the next two installmcnts
and that If, in the opinion Of the Allies,
failure to resort to one Of them would
constitute default, then Germany
should be formally declared in default
of her payments.
The Allied experts, in expressing
themselves on the situation, declare
Germany herself is responsible for tn.
situation, as the German Government
had failed to make any serious attempt
to balance its budget They declare,
however. that regardless of Germany e
responsibility, the Allies and the Com =.
mission are faced with the apparent in i.
ability Of Germany to pay except in
one of the three ways outlined.

GOVERNOR FAyORS MORE
EQUITABLE TAXATION

At dinner given by Guy F1enner
Of Boise to visiting newspaper men
here to attend the annual meeting of
the Idaho Republican Press associa-
ton, Governor Davis, one of the
honor guests. in the course OF a
speech stated he favored the estab-
lishment Of G tax commission, with
constitutional powers He based his
attitude on the inequality in assessed
valuation.
= III property were properly and
equitably assessed there would be no
occasion to follow the dangerous
practice Of Increasing the limits of
tax raising bodies"
The governor stated the courts had
in the case Of bank assessments re-
duced the valuation from 100 TO so
per cent because other property was
assessed no higher than so per cent
of the valuation and in most cases
under so per cent. lie said any pub
lie utility could similarly compel a
reduction OF it's yaIuation thereby
further reducing the assessed yalua-
tion and giving excuse for higher
levies. The solution he said was a
state tax commission.
