With the N2A1
WsconsinETli$
legislature

Madison. Wis.-SenatOrl II. j. Sever
son. author of the Severson income
surtax bill now before the legislature
has announced that he was preparing
an amendment to his measure reduc
ing the corporation tax from a fiat
per cent on earnings over $4,000 tC
a fiat 2 per cent rate.
This change is made necessary by
a marked improvement in business
conditions noted by the tax commits
sion, according 10 Senator SeversOn
Better business has increased the re
turn to be expected from an income
tax, with the result that a reduction
in rates is needed TO prevent the tax
measure from raising more revenue
than intended
The Dahl general income tax bin is
now before the finance committee
awaiting a readjustment Of its rates
TO take care of the raise in revenue
occasioned by improved business con.
ditiOns.
Both bills are intended to transfer
approximately 100000 OF tax from
general property to incomes. The 1918
condition OF business was used as the
basis for computing the rates included
in the measure TO provide this return.
II now develops that earnings for the
last year will be in excess OF those in
1919 and as a result a lower rate will
be needed TO prevent too large re
turn from application of the proposed
tax law.

equally divided on the question. A
survey has been made and a site
located for a new storage tank for
our water supply. If this plan is
carried out Glenns Ferry will have
a concrete tank of very much larger
capacity than at present and an am

its needs. A number of permits have
been issued for building of more

growing and it looks as though our
population would exceed very shortly

for same. If he owed $50 he would
be assessed to pay this. 1t is thought
that not more than $50 per acre
could be assessed against any land,
as the getting of the additional wa
ter would be a benefit to all the land
under the project all the lands
should pay their pro rata share.
This would be about $40 per acre.
That is, all lands receiving addition
al water win be assessed $40, or
whatever is required to make the
necessary improvements. 1t may be
$S, or $40; that will have to be de-
termined by the engineers. In the
ase where the water mortgage
amounted to more than could be as
essed against the property by the
bond issue, the new improvements
would have to be paid first, say $40,
NJ whatever is necessary; the bal
ance of the $50 would then be paid
to the irrigation company and what
ever over this amount the mortgage
mounted to the irrigation company
would have to carry as a mortgage
back of the bonds.
Mr. Brady was asked TO give his
opinion. He said 81 can only
have no authority to speak other
wise. But as / see it, each side will
have to give and take if this project
is going to succeed. 1t cannot go
on as It is. The water company is
delivering its two aere-feet as It
agreed. You say more water is
necessary. 1t is agreed that more
water is in the hills that can be-
brought down. The cost to do this
will have to be determined by com
petent engineers. 1t has been sug-
gested that about $40 per acre would
pay the extra cost That don't
sound so big, but when you say S70,-
900 it staggers you; but if someone
would come to you and say that he
would deliver you an extra foot OF
water for fifty cents a year per acre
you would jump at the chance. Now
that is just about what IL amounts
to. By your spending this addi-
tional money and having it spread
over twenty years in a bond issue
you can get a much greater water
supply. The exact amount of water
can only be. determined by compe-
tent engineers. / own paid-up wa
ter rights on my land, and If you

AUTUMN Meeting
IS ENJOYABLE
Program Appropriate for the occa-
sion, and Harry Watkins Ad-
dress Is Mastery

The autumn meeting" was held
at the First NJ. E. Church last Sun
day morning as arranged for, and
was very enjoyable. The church was
filled and a beautiful program was
given.
The church was decorated with
the fruits of the field and tree and
autumn leaves and vines, making
a very pretty effect
The choir sang the old-time fay-
orite, "The Old Oaken Bucket" which
caused the old-timers who had start
ed out in life on farm to smile re-
miniscently.
Mrs. Harry Watkins and Mrs. Tai
ley sang "In Galilee."
Mr.. and Mrs. Clayyille rendered
a beautiful duet.
Mr.. Clayville sang "a Perfect
Day." in a beautiful manner, the
rendition being accentuated by
fine violin obligato by William Tai
ley.
The address of the day was deliv-
cred by Harry Watkins, his text be-
ing taken from Corinthians, and the
keynote being God all, and in all. "
This sermon, by the way was de-
livered by Mr.. Watkins forty years
ago in the Christian church at Los
Angeles, to a congregation of over
two thousand people, but it is doubt
full if that large congregation ap-I
preciated it to any greater extent
than did the little congregation
which filled the Mountain Home
Methodist church last Sunday. 1t
was a mastery effort and fell on the
ears of the congregation like a bene-
diction.
The congregation was dimissed by
the Rev. Mr.. Taylor of the aBptist
church, who had charge of the serv-
ices.
