CITY OBTAINS AN OPINION THAT
OPPOSES STAND OF ASSESSOR
Claims Reclamation Property Should
Appear on Tax Roll Receives
Letter from Interior Dept.

The city council is ~exerting an effort
to ultimately have city property pur-
chased by the United States Reclama-
ton Service, included in the tax roll
of the county and is basing its effort
on an opinion gained from its ator-
neys who have expressed the belief
that the local situation presents a sit
uation without precedent in the Uni
ted States, hence will require q special
ruling in the federal court.
This opinion is contrary to that voic-
ed last week by Attorney General
Black through county assessor o. f.
Crowley. The latter has been advised
to exclude government property from
the roll to eliminate the necessity of
the county paying the state tax on the
same.
The matter of city taxes has also
been taken up with the secretary of
the Interior, a letter from First Assis-
tant Secretary Finney being received
this week as follows:
"Hon. G. G. Sprigg,
American Falls, Idaho.
''My Dear Mr.. Sprigg:
Colonel Evans presented your let
ter of January 4th, 1922, relative to the
situation at American Falls in connec-
ton with the proposed Reclamation
project, and discussed the same orally
as well. Your statement and the reso-
luton of the city council will be given
consideration by the Secretary, to-
gether with other problems arising in
connection with this project.
Respectfully,
"E. B. FINNEY,
First Assistant Secretary"

KNEE DEEP IN SHUsH.

A chinook wind began Wednesday
continuing through until three o'clock
Thursday when the overhanging clouds
let loose a veritable blizzard except for
the cold north wind. The small hur-
Ticane lasted for an hour and subsidized
to be followed again by a thaw. The
roads leading to American Falls and
the streets of the city are knee deep
with slush, the drains in many instan-
ces being blocked with packed snow.
This is the first real thaw experienced
this wear.

WASHINGTON July 2O.-In vot-
ing today 38 to II, to limit the duties
on cotton gloves to a maximum of rs
percent ad valorem the senate ad-
ministered to the finance committee
majority the most decisive defeat it
has sustained since it brought in the
administration tariff bill exactly three

committee rates which remained in the
bill, would equal 119 percent ad valor-
EN-; in the case OF others 1o4 percent
and in the case of still other 90 per-
cent. He declared congress should not
impose a greater duty than rs percent
ad valorem on any article of such gen.

PARIS, July 20.-with definite de-
velopments in the reparations situa-
ton not expected until the middle of
next week because Of delay in the pre-
sentation Of the report of the COM
mittee on guarantees possible solu-

is strongly Indicated that France will
not consent to a moratorium unless a
most rigid control OF German finances
is Initiated and measures are adopted
which would insure payment in cash
at the end of the breathing space.
There is not the slightest indication
how the French delegate on the COM
mission will act but it has come to the
surface that there is much speculation
on lust what attitude France will
eventually take on the question OF
moratorium.
In British and italian circles, the
moratorium has gained favor more
and more. Belgium, it is said, will con-
sent to a respite if it is only accom-
panied by the most rigid guarantees
on future payments. The impression is
constantly gaining ground that a set
