Washington = CA. P) = American
agriculture, which has been turning

tion, must within the next ten years
save up and reinvest in the farm
plant from $S,000,000,000 to $10,0O0,-

economists of the department of agri-

says. Sometime in the coming de-

Probably a half million new houses,

replaced and much new fence put up.
Millions of new tile must be laid.

STATE TAXABLE WEALTH
TOTALS $347,S67,567

Idaho's taxable wealth exclusive of
public utilities for the year 1928 is
$347 1867 ,567, it was announced Thurs
day by E. G. Gallett, state auditor,
who has received the last of the as
sessment rolls from the Al county
assessors of the state.
In keeping with the state auditors
predictions, the valuations in the sew
eral counties have fallen off. The
1923 valuation of the state as reported
by the assessors is $3,501, ,O71 under
the reported valuation of last year.
1t is approximately $4,20O,000 short
of the value placed on the property
of the state by the equalization board
of last year, says The Statesman.
The work of this board begins Mon
day and it is expected by state Off
cials that after the weeks session the
states wealth, as reported by the as
SCISSORS, will be increased. The board
consists of Governor c. G. Moore, A.
H. Conner, attorney general; F. A.
Jeter, secretary of state; E. G. Gallet,
state auditor, and D. F. Banks, state
treasurer.
In addition to equalizing the assess
ments on various kinds of property In
the state, the board also fixes the
valuation of all public utilities in the
state for taxation.

PUBLIC UTILITIES PLEAD
FOR REDUCED VALUATION

Boise-Public utilities in Idaho
will make strong demand before the
state board of equalization for re-
duction in their assessed valuation.
The Oregon Short Line railroad has
had special agents in Idaho in the
past year making an exhaustive
study of valuations in all counties
through which their lines run. 1t is
said that they are prepared to intro
duce hundred instruments dealing
with property transfers, which show
actual values. On the basis of these
instruments they contend that it
can be proved that the railroad is
assessed for taxation on a valuation
which if properly equalized would
be reduced from 20 to 80 per cent
in order to compare with other pro-
perties in the same county.
The fact that the total state valu-
alton, as reported by the Al county
assessors, has dropped more than
$4,500,000 under the equalized figure
of last year is conceded by many to
be strong support for the railroads
reduction argument
