TAX COMMISSION IGNORES
PLEAS OF FARMERS
Recommends Increase OF Millions in
Assessment Of Farm Lands
14O PER CENT BIKE
Two Democratic Counties Are Given
Worst Treatment BY Body

The assessment of farm lands for
1922 taxes will be increased many mil
lions Of dollars in 35 counties over
the returns Of the county assessors, II
the recommendations of the state tax
commission are accepted by the state
board Of equalization.
The assessments OF all farm
lands were raised TO an abnormal
] figure last year by the state board
of equalization, forcing every
farmer 10 pay higher taxes under
the first year of the administra-
tion Of Governor Hyde.
AS a result of these burdensome
taxes the assessors valued the land
for 1922 taxes at what they believed
were conservative figures.
Notwithstanding the storm OF pro-
test throughout the state against
high taxes Of the Hyde administra-
tion the tax commission recommend
ed increases ranging from to lac
per cent in the assessment of farm
lands in its report to the board oi
equalization.
1t is generally believed that the rec
concentrations will be accepted by
the board because the governor con.
trolls the two Republican members o.
the tax commission. Roy Monler Of
Carrollton and George Hogee OF st
Louis. Although the law provides
for a Democratic member on the
commission, the governor has ne
elected to appoint one since the stat'
senate refused last November to con
firm the appointment of A. u. Nc
Gawley of Carthage. In making its
report the two members OF the com
mission did the bidding OF Governor
Hyde.

English
There are three detectives in teach
ing English. First, the teacher at
tempts to lead the students into an
appreciation not only of the accepted
masterpieces, but also of the good
things that are written and said to-
day. Each of the four English
classes will have read four works of
acknowledged merit, before the nine
months closes. Second, there are a
few rules concerning the mechanical
phase of writing that have been kept
in the limelight; and there seems to
be no reason why any Keytesville
High School student should forget the
right use of commas and semicolons,
OF course, the improvement Of writ
ing in every sway is encouraged
Third, the need of American citizens
being able to present his ideas in
public before his fellow citizens, has
not been overlooked. The Freshmen
has stood their class to tell stories
read and talk. The sophomores work
ed out their idea Of Shakespeare

Boise, Idaho.-A big element OF
strength for the Republican ticket In
Idaho is found in the fact that five
out OF the eight men candidates on
the state ticket are ex-service men,
according to party leaders who met
in conference here today. With near
ly all of the county tickets also recog-
nizing the ex-seryice men, the Re-
publican party has attracted into its
ranks the big body of war veterans
in this state, they say
When it is considered that there
are some $4,000 ex-soldiers in Ida
no, and that their political prefer
ences will have much weight with
their families, the magnitude of this
asset claimed by the Republicans be-
comes apparent.
AS evidence that a large part, at
least of the ex-service men will take
an active part in the campaign this
year, an enthusiastic reception has
met the proposal made by some of
the leaders in their ranks to form
statewide Ex-service Voters League.
1.-THE Republican party is the only
party that has given recognition to-
the ex-service men on it's ticket, it is
the only party that has come out
with a strong platform plank for the
veterans said leader in the voters
league movement yesterday. at Is
only natural that we should stand by
our comrades and by the party that
recognizes our just demands. We
can never hope to secure the recog-
milton deserved by the ex-service men
until we have strong representatives
in high public positions"
republican state headquarters here
takes an optimistic view of the politi-
cal situation, declaring that prospects
for a sweeping Republican victory in
were never brighter. They
charge ex-governor Moses Alexander, |
the Democratic Gubernational candi-
date, with carrying on campaign OF
Misrepresentation that is acting as a
deadly boomerang to the Bourbon
cause. With the true facts of the
cost of state government laid before
hem in indisputable figures by Re
publican speakers, the voters will re-
turn the Republican party to office
IN its record.

TAX OR BE TAXED

Reports Of damaged highways by
heavy motor trucks continue to pour
in from all directions.
Already there are 100000 OF
these trucks registered in the United
States and the number is growing al
the rate of about 10000 per year.
The damage they are doing to the
improved highways means that either
the roads will be ruined or the tax
payers will have to pay heavy taxes
for road repairs not only this year
and next year but every year in In
creasing amounts.
The question arises, why should
the improved highways be used for
this purpose when to do so means
their destruction? Why Shout ev-
cry body be taxed in order that roaGs
may be built and maintained for the
benefit of truck owners?
truck corporation, and there are
many of them that own and operate
large number of trucks, is no dit
ferent and no better than a railroad
corporation.
We make the railroad build and
maintain its own roads and we tax
them not only on their value but for
the privilege of doing business.
Yet we build and maintain roads
for the truck corporation at our own
expense.
If heavy commercial freighting is
to continue on public highways q IL
cense or tax sufficient to compensate
for the damage being done the high
ways should be the immediate con-
Germ and demand of every taxpayer
and county Board of Supervisors.
This should be done at once. Much
damage has already resulted. Action
should be taken before further dam
age occurs. The taxpayers have an
right to resort to such
form OF license or tax through County
Boards as will compensate for the
damage done highways n each county
or other political subdivision. 1t is
a question of tax or be taxed.

amounted to $3.50, was completely
used up by a trip to Washington
Baltimore, New York and return
made by Alexander in March and
April of 1918, six months before the

test in Payette. No Payette residen,
who suffers backache, or annoying
urinary Ills can remain unconvinced
by this twice-told testimony.

other trouble with my kidneys for
several years 1t was hard to bend
over to get up from a chair. There
was always feeling of lameness and
soreness across my kidneys and a
dull, throbbing ache in my back and
loins. My kidneys acted irregularly
too. Nights, was restless and could
get but little sleep, and when 1 got
up mornings felt tired and nervous.
When I was advised to try Doan's
Kidney Pills, l purchased box.
They put me in perfect realth."
OVER TEN YEARS LATER, Mrs.

notice that my kidneys are weak. 1
