HUR'P AN PAY!

If the label on your paper doesn't
read 1928 or better, you're behind on
your subscription to The P~leasantville
Press and should hasten to square UP.
With the high cost of print paper and
of production, it's a desperate task
to furnish a semi-weekly newspaper
for $500 a year even when all pay up
promptly, and when there are lag
CARDS on the list the task becomes
well nigh hopeless. Dear subscriber,
don't lag. You may miss your best
friend some day.

LAW NOW EFFECTIVE.

ldahO's gasoline tax was put
into effect Sunday, when the
gasoline retailers in Cottonwood
raised the price of gasoline 2
cents a gallon which is to go to
the state for highway construc-
ton and maintenance. With
the new tax added, gasoline is
now retailing for 33 cents a gal
lon from all the filling stations.
The 2 cent tax is collected by the
state from the wholesaler who
in turn adds 2 cents to the price
Of gasoline delivered to the re-
tailers. The consumer in the
end pays the tax.
Numerous patrons of the dis
pensers of gasoline in Cotton
wood filled their gasoline tanks
Saturday in order to for a short
time at least evade the gas tax.
Other states having gasoline
taxes are: Oregon 3 cents a gal
lon; Washington / cent a gallon
to be raised to 2 cents January
1, 1924.

RESIGNS POSITION.

Carl H. Greve, for the past
three years manager of the
Farmers Union Warehouse Co.,
resigned his position Monday,
having handed in his resignation
to the board of directors of the
organization which held a meet
ing on that date. The resignation
becomes effective June 9th, the
end of the company's fiscal year.
When the company will appoint
his new successor is not known.
Mr.. Greve has no plans for the
future and it is possible that he
may decide to remain here but
more probable that he will locate
in California. While in Cali
fornia last summer with his
family he became attached to
the climatic conditions there and
the country in general.

STATE TAXES LOWERING G.

State tax levleS IN Idaho have
been steadily decreasing since
1919 when they reached the
peak. In that year the levy
for state purposes was II cents
on each 500 of valuation. In
1920 the state levy was reduced
to 60 cents, in 1921 to 55 cents
and in 1922 to So cents.
The figures for 1928 are not
yet known because the valua-
tion will not be determined until
the state board of equalization
meets in August but based on
the 1922 valuation and making
allowance for all recognized obi
cations of the state, it is esti-
mated that the levy for 1928
will be about 45 cents on the
500 valuation.
The peak of Idaho's assessed
valuation during the past Il
years was reached in 1921 wher
the estimated taxable wealth o.
the state. just crawled over thu
half billion mark to $502, ,305,
903.81, according to a statemen
issued Thursday by George
Lewis, state budget officer.
The statement compares th'
valuation, the money raised fol
state purposes and the state tas
levy for the past 13 years be
ginning with 1910 and endin,
with 1922.
In 1910 the states valuation
was little more than $125, 900,
100000. 1t varied up to 1922
when the peak was reached ant
in 1922 it dropped to slightly
more than $480,000,000. Th'
year 1919 saw the creates
amount of money the state ha
ever raised by taxation. l
was S3,767, ,446.52 and the lev,
for that year was II cents on tn
800 valuation.

FALLS FROM STEEPLE.

Ernest Carty, carpenter, fell
40 feet from the scaffolding on
the steeple of the Catholic
church in Grangeville, Wednes-
day, sustaining a double fracture
of the left arm, and the effects
of concussion. He is not thought
to be dangerously hurt.
To the fact that Mr.. Carty
struck a portion of the roof be-
fore continuing to the ground is
attributed his escape from death
Mr.. Carly was one of those en-
gagged in placing new shingles on
the steeple and the lossening of
a timber caused the scaffold to
collapse.

Turning to the retailers, the COM
