boards, county and city, are respons-
IDLE for the increase. Once more. #
this is so, why has the Governor
asked the, Legislature to reduce the
state levy, the income tax, the inher-
itance tax and other taxes!
We are told that the measure be-
fore the legislature will reduce the
taxes about 4 million dollars next
year. If the state can get along with
that much less next year, why IS the
amount being collected this year and
if the income tax can be reduced now,
why did the governor veto the meas
ure passed by the regular session OF
the legislature abolishing It!
Again the answer is simple. The
governor wanted all the money he
could get to spend in building up a
political machine, and only when he
found the entire state UP in arms did
he have a change of heart. He now
finds he can cut taxes 100000 next
year. But meantime he will have
collected this year $4,ooo,ooo more
than by his admission is necessary.
And how does he propose to reduce
taxes 100000? Is he going to
relieve the burden OF the farmer ana
the home owner? Not so it will be
noticeable. He proposes to cut the
inheritance tax, the tax on the es-
tates of the wealthy who die, and
the tax on corporations. And then
Just to make good job Of it he asks
the legislature to cut in half the fund
voted by the people at the last cleo
ton for the pensioning of the unfor-
tunate blind in the state.
In brief, he is going to relieve the
rich and rob the blind.-West Plains
Gazette.

COUNTY COURT MAKES
LEVIES
County Tax Placed at 70 Cents and
Township Tax at S Cents.

County Tax Placed at 70 Cents and
Township Tax at Cents.
The Bates County Court has fixed
the county levy for county purposes
at 70 cents on the $Ioo valuation and
the township levy at S cents on the
500 valuation. Last year the county
levy was 20 cents and the township
levy 10 cents.
This is a reduction of fifty-two and
one-half per cent on the county levy
and reduction Of fifty per cent on
the township levy.
The taxpayer in estimating his taxes
must bear in mind, however, that
farm land values have been INCREASED
one hundred and sixty per cent. In
other words, farm which has here
tofore been assessed at $1,000, will,
under the present assessment pay
taxes on q valuation of $4,000. Per-
sonal property has been increased two
hundred per cent. Money, notes and
bonds have been increased one hun
drcd per cent.

Befouling Their Nest.

The Kansas City Star says that DIR.
Tigert, U. S. Commissioner of Edu-
cation, was merely trying to be gra-
cious toward the state in which he
was being entertained when he placed
Minssouri among the first half dozen
states educationally. And by the
same mode of reasoning we may con-
clude that this distinguished educa>
tionA authority was at the time he
mentioned, so far from the Russell
Sage Foundation headquarters that
distance gave him courage to ridicule
the figures and to say nobody who is
we'll informed ever took them seri-
ously. Mr.. Tigcrt is Republican Of
national reputation, and is at the
head Of the Federal Department. DR..
Winship is another Republican, and
so is State Superintendent Baker, but
none of them belong to the society
of Black Handlers. Democrats and Re-
publicans, bent on besmirching the
reputation OF Missouri, at whatever
cost SO that a few politicians and
school teachers may profit as black
matters Of Missouri's reputation.
The true Missourian who is now in
formed and backed by the best att
thorities may now indignantly resent
and repudiate these attacks upon the
state whether they come from high
rp Republicans, low-down Demo-
Gratis or professional assassins like
the Kansas City Star. They are birds
of feather, bcfouling their own nest.

The Republican members OF the
SENATE sub committee investigating
the Sims Daniels controversy has
turned in report vindicating sims
and condemned Secretary Daniels.
1t was hardly to be expected that the
Republican members OF the commit
tee would miss the opportunity to de-
nounce former Democratic official
even though their denunciation must
in effect be criticism of the wonder
full record made by the U. S. Navy
during the war.

Representative Stevenson of South
Carolina (Dcm.) in recent speech
gave these specific instances wherein
the present Republican administra-
ton has walked backward in the
tracks of the previous Democratic
administration:
well, we were to have all of Our
foreign policies reversed. Let us see
what we have done up to this time
about reversing the foreign policy OF
this Government. On the question

lowed by the present administration.
As 10 the question Of the rights and
the policy Of this nation.in the Island

standing squarely in the tracks made
by the administration that preceded
it. On the question of our dealings

the soldiers bonus bill we're passed,

MORE WIRELESS FOR BRAZIL
Bill In Chamber Of Deputies Aims at
Service to Reach the West
Coast Nations.

Rio de acknowledgements wireless
communication with neighboring Amer
lean republics and within the vast
territory of Brazil itself is the aim
of a bill just introduced into the
chamber of deputies.
1t provides for the installation Of
high-power wireless stations in the
federal district, and. by arrangement
with Paraguay, in Asuncion, and at
convenient points in the Brazilian
states of Matte Crosse and Rio Grande
do Sui.
The measure states that this means
OF communication would be more eco
nomical than by the present land tel
egraph or cable systems. 1t suggests
the possibility of wireless communica-
tion between Brazil and the countries
on the west coast through the cree
ton of stations in the interior.

STAKE CONFERENCE .....
AND THE TABERNACLE

The regular quarterly conference
of the Blackfoot stake will be held
in the new stake tabernacle on Sat-
urday apd Sunday, Feb. &c, q, 1921.
Sessions will be held at 10 a. M. and
2 p. m. on Saturday and 10 a. m.,
2 p. m. and 7.30 p. m. on Sunday. 1t
is hoped that the members of the
church will be present in large num-
bers as there is room for all, and the
general public are cordially invited.
Visiting brethren from Salt Lake
City will be in attendance.
Owing to the short time between
now and the stake conference it has
been decided to postpone the dedica-
ton of the tabernacle until the May
conference. This will enable us to
prepare a suitable program and we
hope, also, to be able to arrange for
mem bers of the First Presidency to
be present.

ham county amount to $174,000
Without this money, county business
is at q standstill; that is why county
and school warrants are at q dis.
count. The universal demand Is for
q reduction of taxes. The Bingham
county commissioners, your servants,
will not spend the money you do not
give them in taxes.
The county can not carry on any
New road" program under these
conditions. With only $4,000 total
for roads and bridges. it can barely
pay for bridge maintenance to make
travel safe II not easy.
Yet the people need to keep up
the roads that everybody must travel.
You, Mr.. Citizen, will have to meet
the road question individually II It is
met at all this year.
The county commissioners propose
this plan:
Let every community agree to drag
and keep in repair its own roads by
volunteer labor. It's everybody's
business, everybody's profit-let's
everybody help!
The county has about twenty road
graders, one for every district; and a
few road drags. They are ready for
you to use.
A good harrow makes a capital
road worker; that and the field drags
on every farm. Maybe you can save
time by using your own drag equip
ment. But the work should be done
as soon as the roads dry up enough
to make it possible. Don't put it off
do it when the time is ripe, and
save future grief
Poor roads are an abomination, a
community plague, a business bank
ruptcy; it's your business to help
make them good.
This advertisement is given free
by all the newspapers of Bingham
county, as their contribution towards
the acute road situation.
