NORTHERN PACIFIC WAGE
SINCE 1916
TEND TO SHOW WHAT RAIL
ROADS ARE UP AGAINST
OPERATING EXPENSES.

In another column reference is made
to the excessive freight rates which
appear to be one of the chief obstacles
in the way of returning prosperity, and
from which the inference might be
drawn that the railroads are alone re-
spOnsible. As usual, however, there
appears to be two sides to this ques-
ton, and a statement showing to some
extent at least the railroad side of it
was handed to the Miner this week
This statement gives figures covering
the advance in wages of railroad en-
ployes to which the Northern Pacific
has been subjected since 1916, and the
experience of other railroad companies
is doubtless the same.
Wages Increased 1853 Per Cent.
J. G. Sanders, general agent of the
Northern Pacific in this city, this week
received a statement from the statis-
teal department of the company which
shows that from 1916 to 1920 wages of
employees of the company increased
1858 per cent.
In 1916, the Northern Pacific paid
in wages to employees the sum of $685.
100000" said Mr.. Sanders. During
1917, wages were increased 27.2 per
cent our total payments being $S5,S77,-
900. The payroll of 1918 advanced to
$40, $4,000 or 4S.S per cent greater than
in 1917. In 1919. the Northern Pacific
paid out $52,6O5,OOO in wages, and in
1920 total of s66,5OS,OOO, or an in
crease of 1858 per cent over 1916"

$50 Feet of Objective.
According to information received
from parties who recently came over
from Adair, the great tunnel that is
being driven by the Montana Idaho
Mining company is now following the
Monitor vein and should reach a point
beneath the Monitor shaft in about $50
feet The vein is strong and carries
values in copper, and all indications
point to an important ore shoot when
the objective is reached. The old Mon
itor shaft, situated on the divide be-
tween Idaho and Montana. was sunk
700 feet and various levels produced
quite a large tonnage of copper ore,
which was hauled to Saltese for ship
ment. The new tunnel will explore the
vein 1000 feet below the bottom of the
shaft

AMERICAN COMMANDER.
Arrangements Complete for Resump-

The electric transmission line Of the
Washington Water Power company
was connected with the American
Commander compressor the first of the
week, and definite announcement has
been made by the company that devel-
opment operations will resume on April
l. Drifting will proceed east in No. 1
tunnel, the purpose being to determine
definitely the position of the vein as
guide to locating the vein from No. 3
tunnel, some 500 feet below.

Articles of incorporation have been
filed for the North Fork Development
company for the purpose of developing
a group of six claims, situated between
Joki and Carter sidings on the North
Fork branch of the O.-W. r. & n. The
incorporators are Thure Olson John f.

of the company is 100000 divided into

FINANCIAL CONDITION OF
COUNTY ON. SOUND BASIS
RECORD OF LAST YEAR-REDUCE
TAXES WITHOUT IMPAlRlNG
PUBLIC SERVICE.

In recent issue OF the Miner more
than two pages We're occupied by the
annual financial report OF Shoshone
county covering the year 1921, prepared
and published as required by law by
Harry Rogers county auditor. 1t was
a complete statement of the financial
transactions of the county during the
period, showing in detail receipts and
expenditures condition of the various
funds classification OF taxable prop
erty and revenue derived from each,
tax levies for various purposes, tax
levies compared with other years, rev
enue from all sources, warrants issued,
redeemed and outstanding, together
with an array of detailed information
that gives a complete insight into the
affairs of Shoshone county as a great
business concern. The information
contained in this report is Of direct
personal interest to every taxpayer
and for this reason the law requires it
to be published; and yet it is probably
safe to say that not one taxpayer out
Of a hundred in the county has given
this report a cursOry examination. 1t
is for that reason that the Miner pro-
poses to call attention to some of the
salient features of the report, for they
deal with matters upon which every
taxpayer should be informed.

Taxes Decrease.

The first thing that the average tax
payer thinks about in connection with
county government is taxes, which in
cludes both the assessed valuation of
property and the rate of taxation. In
this connection it is significant of the
excellent financial condition of this
county due to careful and capable ad-
ministratiOn that while in almost ev-
cry other county in the state taxes
were higher and in some cases almost
prOhibitive, in Shoshone county they
were substantially reduced in 1921 as
compared with the two preceding
years. In 1920 the total tax levy for
state and county purposes was 81 on
500, while in 1921 it was $1.6O. In
1920 the total valuation of all taxable
property was $2O,S7S,677, while in 1921
it was 2S,449,2O5, showing an increase
in valuation of $2,575,52S, or 1924 per
cent. The actual taxes collected in
1920 amounted to S417551.35, and in
1921 the amount was 1875, PATTI, show
ing a net decrease of 2,3O3.63, or
1913 per cent These are the figures
that touch directly the pocketbook of
every taxpayer and they tell their own
story
