On Taxation.

Boise, ldaho.-County assessors
of Idaho Assem- bled in their annual
conference, last week, heard Gov.

was the matter with Idaho hnan-
cially and the remedy for it.
"Idaho is not one bit worse off

financial depression that has hit
the state has hit the country, bur
will not last long"
While there is need for great
economy, the governor warned
against going to the extreme.
valuations must not be lowered
unless the conditions warrant it,"
the chief executive said. "The
assessors of the state hold the
reins of the valuations in their
hands, and they must use the best
of judgment in placing value on
property in the state"
Governor Davis was emphatic
on the issuance of any more bonds
by the state. He quoted the states
bonded Indebtedness at S. 500, oou.
and said he didn't want to SEE
another state bond issued aud
would oppose any efforts to further
| bond the state.
John D. Robertson, state tax
agent, also addressed the assessors
on Idaho's tax ills. He told them
the cost Of state, county and muni-
cipal government could and must
be reduced. He made q strong
plea for liberal education OF the
taxpayer to the actual conditions
as they exist, not only in the state
but in the local taxing districts 10
which the individual taxpayer
lives. He emphasized the iaa-
portance OF the assessors position
/ in the state from the standpoint OF

"Assessors are IN better
y psition to see that the people OF

Gated to the tax situation than any

February Treasury Savings

"1n view of the recent disclo-
sures in connection with the losses
by the people of Ohio in wildcat and
worthless stock ventures" state
ed Postmaster Gaylord today, ''it
is gratifying to note that many per-
sons of this community have placed
their savings with the strongest in
stitution in the world, namely the
United States government"
During the month of February the
McConnelsville post office issued
$4,000 of Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates, which in five years will be
worth $1,000 according to Postmas-
ter Gaylord.
"The 1922 issue of Treasury Saw
ings Certificates seems to be more
popular than any of the previous is
sues, due undoubtedly to the fact
that they bear higher rate of in
terest, namely ~ per cent, COM
pounded semi-annually, and are free
from all local and state taxes" "
Postmaster Gaylord stated.
These certificates are on sale at
all times at the post office in denom-
nations of $1,000, 800 and $25,
and any individual or corporation
can own up to $4,000 worth.

ICE PLANT AT THIS PLACE

R. A. Kennard and son Harry
Kennard are here this week. The
former and his wife returned
Tuesday of last week from a visit of
BIZ months in Tulsa, Okla, with
their sons Harry Kennard, and Or
rem Kennard, and families. They al
so visited at Muskogee and Okmul-
gee and other places in the state.
While they had fine visit, things
were just. little too exciting at
times for Dolph who says he would
rather live nearer good Quaker
settlement Their son Mr.. Harry
Kennard and wife accompanied
them home to Columbus, and both
r. A., and his son Harry are think
ing seriously of making one or the
other of these two towns their home,
which they have about decided are
the best places they have found.
Mr.. Kennard and son Harry
have been looking over the field,
and are much in the notion of put
ting in an ice plant here. The lat
ter has had considerable expert
ence in the ice plant business. We
hope that our people will give them
sufficient encouragement, so that it
will be a go. 1t is something this
vicinity badly needs.

G. p. Deshler Deputy Clerk

In local politics there is little do
ing. The fact that one of the coun-
ty officials has selected a simon pure
dency to jar the regulars on both
sides, but it is believed that they
will all recover before the next elec-
ton. The position of Deputy clerk
is one of Importance, and rather
than break in a man who knew
nothing about the office. Clerk Will
hanson conceived the idea of get
ting some one familiar with the Of
flee, and selected George P. Deshler.

New p. NJ. at Marietta

Last Wednesday John M. Doan,
succeeded Frank G.. Henry, Demo-
crat, as postmaster of Marietta. Mr..
Henry has made for himself the title
of the best postmaster Marietta ever
had. Speaking of his services the
Marietta Register Leader, Rep, con-
tains the following: Mr.. Henry has
been quite attentive to his duties
since assuming charge of the office
and has developed a splendid spirit
of cooperation among the men and
women connected with the local Of
flee. He has been on the job every
day from seven in the morning until
ten at night, longeS than the depart
ment required, and while he had fix
ed rules these were only used as long
as they developed efficiency. He be-
lieved that the postoffice and the
postmaster were here to serve the
public, and there was no PARTISAN
ship in the administration of the Of
fee.
The, longest time he has been abb
sent from his post during his admin
istration was FIVE days. and of course
he had the consent of the depart
ment
The business of the office has
grown rapidly, until now the receipts
are above 100000 per year.
Mr.. Henry's efficiency was par
ticularly manifest during the rush
seasons of holiday times. There was
little or no delay in either the in
bound or the outbound mail, which
was high tribute to his force of
men and women, and to his own
leadership.
