speakers. Mr. Plowhead citing the city
which at one time was badly in ar

liquidated. the municipality has con-
tinued to operate on strictly cash ba-
sis. That at present, however. there

on record as approving the bond issue
in resolutions. Only in the Lake pre-
cinct south OF Caldwell was any ser
ious opposition encountered and there.
Mr. Beck explained. the opinion pre-
vailed that much OF the outstanding
county warrant indebtedness should
be repudiated This course has no IA
vor with the present county admins
tration, however. Mr. Beck declared
That the highway districts, notably
the Golden Gate district at Wilder and
the Nampa highway district, were rep
resented on the boards of county COM
missioners which incurred the liabili-
ties and should bear their share OF the
cost of taking up the outstanding
county indebtedness is the opinion of
Mr.. Beck, who believes that the bond
issue will be generally supported in
both districts.
Mr.. Roadway deplored the small at
tendance at the meeting, asserting that
this bond election is one of the most
important matters before the commu-
nifty at present and one in which every
citizen worthy the name should in
terest himself
Following adjournment of the meet
ng, a straw vote indicated an over
sentiment in favor of the I
bond issue.

SUGAR SQUEEZE

Prices

Washington.-Scnator Reed Smoot.
senior member OF the finance commit
tee OF the senate. SAYS that the pres
ent price OF sugar IS but the carrying
out of the program OF the sugar re-
hnerS. They have a three-fold object
in view. namely. FIRST. to secure a re-
duction in the rate OF sugar. Second.
TO create a prejudice against Ameri-
can sugar producers with a hope that
the American people will demand a
reduction in the duty on sugar low
enough to destroy the American indus
try and give them control OF every
pound OF sugar consumed in the Unit
ed States and at a price fixed by them
Third, TO recoup their lost profits sus-
tanned during the early part of the
year 1922 when they reduced the price
OF Cuban % per cent sugar to l.67 per
hundred pounds for the purpose of
dealing a death blow to the beet SUI
gar producers OF America. who had
contracted with the farmers for beets
at SD per ton for the yield of the
year 1921. The greater part OF the
sugar made from those beets was ne
cesSarily marketed in the early part OF
the year 1922 The sugar companies
Of America lost tens OF millions of
dollars. Their credit and capital were
lmDaired and the refners would have
been successful in their well planned
death blow to the sugar producers OF
our country if outside assistance had
not been secured. The Fordney-Mc-
Cumber act reduced the rate of Cuban
sugar 10 cents per hundred pounds.

ship on the county is the opinion no;
only OF Mr.. Beck but OF number OF
other informal speakers who addressed
the meeting on the subject Mr.. Dun
bar stated that in January only 40
per cent of the current tax levy had
been paid while in 1922. between rs
and so per cent had come in as the
first half OF the tax payment
When asked what he thought the eff
feet would be on the farmers OF Can
yon county if the Sl.00 levy was made.
L. J. Magee, secretary of the Payette-
Boise Water Users Association stated
briefly that 1T would break them"
Ada County Good.
Citing Ada county as an example of
what might be expected here is Can
yon county should vote the bonds and
place itself on a cash basis once and
for all. Mr.. Beck explained that Ada
county at present has an outstanding
bonded Indebtedness of 81 10000 in
the road and bridge fund alone. Can
yon county's total bonded indebted
mess at present is only SlS4.700. Ada
county's assessed valuation is about
S29,000,000 Mr. Beck said, while Can
yon county has an assessed valuation
of. roughly. $25.S00.000. Despite these
facts, Ada county is operating on a
cash basis on a tax levy of Sl.30
while the Canyon county levy at pres
ent is Sl.l8 and the county is head
over heels in debt, Mr.. Beck pointed
out.
That the auto license fees will be
sufficient to take care of the bond is
sue if the basis for calculations of the
board of county commissioners This
source of revenue pours about
$4,000 into the county treasury per
year and the largest amount of funds
that the bond issue will ever call from
the county in one year, Mr.. Beck ex-
planned, is $4,000, the tenth year from
date OF issue when the first bonds
mature.
Not Political Issue
That the proposal to bond the coun-
ty to retire outstanding warrant in
debtedness is not in any sense a po-
litical issue and should be considered
strictly from a business standpoint
was stressed by Mr.. Beck and num-
Der of other speakers. Among those
who favored the issue and who spoke
at length on the subject were M. 5.
E. H. Plowhead. DR. J.
w. Cue, w. H. Roadway, T. A. Wal
ters and DR.. F. M. Cole.
That deficiency tax payments Will
not be sufficient to retire the warrant
because they are so slow
coming, in was the opinion of Mr.. Dun
