The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1921-03-07
TAXES ARE EXORBITANT
Bv D. H. Biethan

have read the article in the Idaho
Republican on road building by
George Hill and am more than GLAD
that someone that understands 1t, has
| taken up these matters in a business
like way.
Bingham. like most all counties
in Idaho, has been burdened with
incompetency, extravaganza and pos
sibly graft in their road building and
much extravaganza in many ways.
Not only county government, but
state, town and school taxes are SO
heavy they are almost unbearable
and the sorry part is that on account
the heavy bonded Indebtedness
there is no relief in sight.
The causes of the present condition
now confronting all Idaho Is that a
certain class mostly non or very small
taxpayers have hurrahed for any kind
of bond issue and doomed for these.
assisted by class that would be di
rectly benefited by the expenditures
of public money, such as road con
tractors, building and road material
dealers, automobile and truck manu-
facturers, school teachers and school
supply dealers, all these advocating
anything that would call for public
money Those people have not only
done it individually, but have or
sanized to finance this propaganda of
improvement. improvement regard
less of the wisdom or ability of the
county to pay for all these improve
ments. At the time of voting the
bonds every one was getting big
prices for everything sold and all
work done, but now with the falling
prices the taxes do not fall. 1t is
going to take two days work to pay
taxes where but short year ago one
day would do Taxes are not COM
ing down for long time and the
alarming part to all people Of Idaho,
mean those that are intending to
make Idaho their home, is that I'M
less measures are taken in some way,
positive and effective measures, the
taxes are going to increase right
along. The consequences will be that
it will stop all improvements and
progress No one today can afford to
put up any kind of a building to rent
for any purpose as the taxes are pro-
hibitive. Buildings for residence or
apartments not being put up makes
the clerk, the mechanic or the labor
ing man that needs q place to live,
pay most any rent asked for most
any kind of a place to live In as
there is no competition. Twenty
years ago when taxes were about
one-fifth to one-tenth Of what they
are now, q house could be had for $40
per month that rents now for $25 or
$40 or $3.50 per year more.
Unless taxes are held down, taxes
are going to take all profit from
buildings and from the farmer and Is
going to keep work from the me-
chanic and laboring man. AS I said
the money spenders are organized
to get all they can from the public
Then why not the taxpayers
organize to see that public money is
well spent and for needed purposes

ALLIES MAKE READY
TO ENFORCE TREATY
ARMED FORCE MAY De EN-
PLoYED TO COMPEL COM.
PLlANcE WITH TERMS.
French Railways Ordered to ce'
Ready to Transport Troops to
the Front.-Lons Range Guns
Now At Commanding Point. Il,

LOndOn.-Ine allies nave reached
complete agreement upon their answer
to Germany on the reparations CUES
ton and upon the consequences thai
will follow her failure to- accept theil
terms, 1t was learned Wednesday.
Mr.. Lloyd George, the prime minis
ter, consented to the employment o.
armed force against Germany in thu
event Of her Noncompliance with alice
separations demand, to the extent Of
the occupation of Mannheim by Brit
ish, French and Belgian troops, ant
also of the Ruhr ports on the Rhine
where coal Is handled.
The British premier had hitherto
declared himself unwilling to use sucf
military measures.
The French long-range guns have
been advanced to point where they
will command Essen, home of thu
Krupp plant.
German customs receipts in the Oc
cupied territory would be taken over
as the first step in forcing the pay
ment Of Germany's obligations, should
that prove necessary, under plans
drawn up by committee Of the su
preme council.
Notice to Germany that her repara.
ton proposal would not be discussed
and that the allies were ready to en-.
force the payment of German obliga.
tons was in preparation by the COM
mittee of the supreme council ap.
pointed to frame a reply.
The Eastern French railway has
been ordered to get ready for mobiliz.
alton and be prepared to transport
large numbers of French cavalry to
the Rhine.
In the meantime the cavalry is be-
ing concentrated at St. German, on
the borders of Paris. They have been
issued field kits and rations, and are
being held In instant readiness to
travel.
Conservative opinion in France is
that the first application Of force to
be sanctioned by the allies will be the
seizure of Rhine custom houses and
possibly blockade of German ports
by the British navy.
Belief is expressed in several quar-
ters that the Germans have not spoken
their last word relative to the repara-
ton terms fixed by the supreme coun-
Gil at Paris.
London newspapers were unanimous
in declaring the German offer of Tues
day, Of the equivalent of $7,5OO,OOO,-
900 in reparations, was wholly made
quate.
"Impudent," ''ludicrous" fantastic"
and "grotesque" were some of the ad-
jectives the principal newspapers used
In commenting on the German terms.
Even the pacifist Daily News con-
fessed it was at loss to understand
the German mentality.
