FINISHING THE JOB

At the close of the 1915 legislative
assembly, when the farmers were in
vited to go home and slop the hogs,
by the business interests then in con-
troll of the state government in all it's
branches, those farmers undertook a
job.
1t was nothing more or less than
restoring the state to the democratic
form of government from which it
had departed. 1t was in securing ma
jority rule in the states affairs.
Majority rule-if the majority could
r~ule-meant laws enacted favoring
the majority and the business of the
majority of the people-agriculture.
1t meant the enforcement of those
laws by men picked by that majority
not by a few politicians in the back
0 or III a st. Paul %hotel-from
their own ranks, and men who favor
ed those laws.
1t was some job to organize, out of
q crowd or mob of men and ONE a
disciplined and coherent m It was
absolutely necessary if there were to
be any success in carrying on with
the job which had been undertaken.
Yet it was done. A statewide or
g~anization of farmers was something
that the minority could not control
and trick as that minority had con-
trolled and tricked the same men
without that organization.
Having taken over what had too
long remained in the hands of a
greedy and INSCRIPTIONS minority,
the measures most urgently needed
were passed and the first steps tax
en- to secure the putting into effect
of those measures. r.
Throughout the procedure there was
unremitting hostility on the part of
the minority. The courts were ap-
pealed to, the business interests of
other states were sought for help to
put the harness on the farmers and
get the bit orce more il his mouth.
AS d last resort, and because it meant
4 fat profit on the side, def1ation was
resolved upon. .%.s%

A. w. Jones' Home Burned

The farm home of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
w. Jones, located on Big Bear ridge,
was totally destroyed by fire at
about 4:3O last Monday morning.
Mr.. Jones had made a fire and
started to do his chores when he dis
covered the blaze, which is presum-
ed to have started from a defective
f1ue. The fire gained such headway
that little could be saved, except
part OF the furniture downstairs.
The loss is heavy one as there was
insurance only to the amount OF
about $500, which is but small
part of the value of the house and
contents. Most of the family s
clothes were burned and the piano,
which was moved out of the house
had one end badly scOrched.

CURRENT EXPENSE
LEVY IS 2.9 MILLS
Latah County c Commissioners
Met Monday.

The 1929 county current ex-
pense tax levy has been fixed at 2.9
mills. the general shcooI tax at AS
mills and the general road fund tax
at 5 mills by the board of county
commissioners, which met IN regu-
lar session at 900 a. m. Monday
morning, says the Star Mirror. The
meeting will continue until all
county expense budgets have been
examined and the levies fixed.
County tax levies are no higher
this year than last in spite of the
$4,000 needed for the general elec-
tions IN November because of the
reduction made in other budget
items, say the commissioners, upon
examination OF the expense budgets.
The reduction of the assessed val
uatlon of the county to the extent
OF 81, 100000 has necessitated a
small increase IN the tax levy.
Practically the same amount of
money is needed this year as last
because Of the extra expense in con-
nectIon with the elections. The ad-
ditiona levy Will amount to but a
fraction OF a mill.
But one item has necessitated a
larger revenue to carry on. That
Is the expense account for the care
OF county lndlgents. This item has
mounted to more than double that
for the previous year.
In practically every other depart
ment budget reduction has been
noted with the result that despite
the increased tax burden ewing to
the election and the care of an in
crease in number of county poor the
budget IN the aggregate amounts to
just about the same as that for the
preceding year.
In regard to the general school
tax levy, the minimum tax was fix
ed by the board. The state law re-
qulres that SIS be assessed per
capita for the school children OF
the county to help defray the ex-
pense OF education. The school CEN
sus of Latah county is $50. At SIS
each the aggregate amounts to S82.-
$50.
The commissioners are allowed to
fix any amount above the minimum
requirements in the school levy.
Ihey decided this year on the
minimum which brought the levy
up to AS mills on the dollar of tax.

NEz PIERCE COUNTY
SETS TAX LEVY
County Commissioners Make
Reduction of $1,000.

The total state and county tax to
be paid by the owners of taxable
property IN Nez Perce county for
the year 1922 is $1.59 on each 500
valuation, this rate being tlxed by
the board of county commissioners
at their meeting, Monday, says the
Tribune. In comparison with last
years levy this is reduction of
$1l 300 based on real and personal
property valuation IN the county OF
$4,000, 900, which reduction goes to
show the prudent manner in which
the board of commissioners have
handled the affairs OF Nez Perce
county during the last year.
The total state tax this year is 55
cents on each 500 valuation, and
that tor county purposes l.04. Last
year the state tax was Sc cents and
the county tax $1.l0.
The statement of levles for county
purposes follows:
Current expense, 1926.
General road, 20.
Bridge, .02.
General school, 40.
Agriculture. OBS.
Bond interest and redemption. .O1.
County tarm. .O5.
Last year a tax of .0l3 was charg-
ed for the Albion State Normal
school, but this year nothing is
charged against the taxpayers of
the county in favor of that lnstltu
ton. The sheep tax and predatory
animal tax is fixed by statute, SC
the commissioners did not include
these items IN their list.
The finances of the county, &C
cording to hgures submitted to thu
board vester day, show very healthy
state. On August there was tt

Regardless of the effect of the
congressional Legislation, the anti
profiteering coal bill, now being
considered, Moscow is experiencing
higher priced coal. says the Star
Mirror. An advance of a dollar a
ton went into effect Friday SAY local
dealers.
Lump and stove size coal is now
retalled at $l4.50 ton and egg size
at $14.0O according to quotations
made the first of the week. Prior
to this raise prices have renamed
practically the same all summer
despite the strikes at the mines and
the tle-ups IN transportation.
The occasion for the advance In
prices is due entirely to the mine
operators, say Moscow dealers.
Miners wages are no higher
trelhgt rates are the same and the
retailers profits remain unchanged.
1t is the opinion that operators have
Just taken advantage of the scarcity
of coal in the retail markets.
The rail strikes interfere with the
hauling of coal from the mines to
the consumers but there is no real
reason why the prices should adj
vance think the dealers. Plenty of
coal is being mined and the demand
is not such as would warrant the
sudden jump.
That prices must drop before long
is the general assumption. People
are not buying coal at such prices
which are we'll above prices that
should obtain in relation to al
other commodities. As soon as con
ditlons settle little decline is an
tlcipated.
The approval by congress of thu
measure demanding an elimination
of opportunity for the mine owner
to protiteer is considered to be ab
solutely necessary to the placing O
coal prices where they belong.
