MOORE'S PROGRAM
BENEFITS FARMERS

Boise, April 5. Genuine assist
ance to the farmers of Idaho is seen
in summary of the legislation en-
acted by the recently closed session
of the Idaho legislature. Economy
and relief for the farmers formed
the plea that the people of Idaho sent
to their legislators and which Gov
ernor Moore urged in his messages
to that body. Efforts to make the
legislation purely political and re-
volve around other issues than econ
omy failed after the governors de-
mand that the legislature enact a
constructive program.
Outstanding in the measures for
relief and assistance to agriculture
were the tax bills One of which
permitted those whose taxes were
delinquent for 1920, 1921 and 1922
to redeem their property before i'll
went to the county by paying the
original amount of the taxes plus
interest at seven per cent, thus cut
ting off the enormous penalties. An
other reduces the penalty on delin-
quent taxes from six to two per cent
and the interest rate on same from
twelve to ten per cent.
The agricultural measure that
aroused the greatest interest when it
came up to the governor for sigma
ture was Senate Bill No. 207 aimed |
at price discrimination in dairy pro-
ducts. 1t prohibits any person en-
gagged in buying milk, cream or but
.erfat for the purpose of manufac-
