HAD BUSY SESSION
Business Done By Town Board
Tuesday Night.

The village board met tuesday
evening with Chairman Lee

CASTOR present.
Complaints were made of dis
orderly conduct at recent dances
held here. foul language used
about the hall and noise Of auto
horns and open muff1ers being
used to disturb the peace and
quiet of people residing in that
vicinity. The board was informed
that unless order could be main

Attorney Miles F. Egbers was
instructed to draft an ordinance
prohibiting the use of open muff-
lers in town.
BY unanimous vote it was order
ed that the office of marshal be
declared vacant.
An order was made to refuse
permission to anyone to pile or
unload logs on any street IN the
vicinity of the Milwaukee transfer
track. Some sidewalk on Idaho
street was condemned and ordered
replaced with cement. The Mil
waukce company was granted per-
mission to change the location OF
the sidewalk on Alturas street for
the greater convenience of the
public. Authority was given 70
lease a part of Post and Gray
street to Paul Tirnell until such
time that the board may desire to

point.

tees Kruger and CASTOR to gather
up the town tools, store them and
procure a good lock for the tool
room. Steps were taken with
view to having all telephone and
electric light poles along the main
street set in close to the curb; also
to have the electric company COM
plete installation of meters, the
stipulated time for doing so having
expired.

COUNTIES CANT PAY
Seven In South End Owe State
Large Sum.

Payment in full last week by
Bingham county OF its state taxes
to the office of E. G. Gallet, state
auditor, left seven Idaho counties
which are still behind il payments
due the second Monday in July.
Under the new law, the consti-
tutionality OF which the supreme
court is expected to pass upon this
month, the cost of tax delinquency
is so lowered that, many county
auditors say, it is cheaper for
man not to pay his taxes for sthc
time being than it would be for him
to borrow the money and pay
them. This law provides that re-
demption may be made with pay
ment of interest at ? per cent, and
without penalty. 1t is retroactive
for the years I922, 1921 and 1870.
The effect is, some county auditors
say, that landowners are letting
their back taxes run until the last
moment, while the counties, for
running expenses, must borrow
money at 7 per cent for lack of tax
funds.
This leaves the counties without
money with which to pay their
state taxes which, under the law,
must be paid ahead Of any other
county expense.
So far the following counties are
still partially delinquent:
Ada county, S 8576.I7
Jefferson county, 15,262.14
Oneida county, 22,887.25
Power county, 29,92o.44
Owyhee county, I7,8o4.85
Jerome county, 35o0.o3
and Cassia county, which has net
paid a cent and is in arrears for tho
entire amount of $68, 2I2. go.
The state auditor had never yet
had to put full pressure or any
county. One county had been in
arrears until December.
Walls OF their inability to collt Ct
county taxes are coming into lie
state auditors Office regularly.
While many of the county auditors
are not working under the new
law. evidently acting under advice
Of their county attorneys pending
the supreme court decision, others
arc looking forward to the coming
court ruling with the hope that i
will give them weapon with
which to drive the delinquent tax
payer into line.

The trouble is, you tax people on

lands-largely escape. Don't tax the
fruits Of industry. Tax natural oppor-

kill County, Pa. 1t is in the heart Of
the anthracite coal region. but for
years 1t has been on the verge Of
bankruptcy. It's schools we're closing
It's roads were out of repair. Its po-
lice and fire departments were cut
down below the danger point for lack
Of funds. It's borrowing power had
been strained to the limit.
And Their it applied simple common

was the community which gave value

values for the community's uses. Coal
lands which used to be assessed at
something like $50, 900 900 are now
assessed at around 100000 900.
The result is that business instead
