MILLER OPENS GENERAL STORE.

Workmen are now busy getting the
store building on the corner of Main
Street and Fifth Avenue ready for the
new stock of general merchandise
Leroy Miller is putting in at this
place.
Since the recent fire which put the
w. F. Beckett store out of business
Mr.. Miller has been making arrange
ments to go into this line of business
| and last Monday he had his plans
about completed, when he returned
from stock-buying trip to Spokane
and Lewiston. The building he has
leased is generally known as the
Thomas Hardware, it having been oc-
cupied for many years by the hard
ware establishment of which Chas. f.
Thomas was the head. This is con-
sidered one Of the best locations in
town, and when it is fitted up and ar
ranged as the new occupant contem-
plates having it, in time, it viii prove
an attractive asset to the community.

in modestly with such merchandise in
groceries, dry goods, shoes and mo-
tions as his long experience in the ter
ritory suggests to be the most desir-
able and for which the demand is
greatest The fixtures that were sal
vaged from the Beckett store have
been purchased and are being done
over for the new business.
Leroy v. Miller is the second son
of Perry E, Miller, one of the pioneer
merchants of this place and a man
who had large share in the upbuild |
ing in this town and the surrounding
country. "Roy," as everybody calls
him, is native of the soil, and since
graduating from the local high school
in 1915 has been continuously engaged
in selling merchandise at this place
and at Peck. He successfully con-
Quoted a general store at Peck for
number of years and the balance of
the time he was in the employ of @.
w. Felt and w. F. Beckett at Nez-
perce. His native qualifications and
the experience he has gained make
this start he is making in one OF the
best known fields most promising.

THE IDAHO AUTO TAX.

Apparently the campaign to soak
| the auto owners of idaho in addition
al taxation has progressed farther
than most owners realize, says bull
letin of the Idaho Automotive Trades
association. "At club meeting in
Boise f. E. Lukins, who has charge
of auto registration in the office OF
the secretary of state, declared autos
were not paying their share of taxes
on present license and gasoline basis.
He stated "a home worth $4,000 Gas
sessed valuation possibly $250O) was
taxed 1920 while a car worth $4,000
was taxed only $40. OF course,
there is no car in use in Idaho that
could be sold for $4,000. Theaverage
actual value of the cars in Idaho is
under $780, More than so per cent
of them cost less than that new. So
if Mr. Lukens will revise his figures
on that basis he will find the auto
owner, who is also home owner or
taxpayer through payment OF rem
tails, is paying his share on the auto
class of property. He will find that
the $4,000 real estate at $120 taxation
is paying little over $4 hundred
on the full, not the assessable, amount,
while the auto owner is paying $50
hundred figuring the average actual
value at 800 and the average license
as low as 500, to say nothing OF the
gas tax.
cit is unsatisfactory to figure on
the basis of averages, however. Fig
uring the auto taxation in bulk we
may arrive at more definite conclu
sions.
seThere are around 10000 autos in
Idaho. They will pay in 1924 $1,000
600 or better for licenses and at least
$500,0O0 in gasoline taxes. In eight
months of 1923 the gas tax totaled
nearly 100000 and, the license re-
ceipts for the year were within $780,
600 of O. million. With increased sales
and additional license costs imposed
by the last legislature, million this
year is a conservative estimate, which,
with the gas tax, will mean $1,5o0,0oo
stThe value of the autos in use in
Idaho is high if we place it at $42,
100000. This is an actual average
value of 800 a car, which seems some
what high when it is known that over
600 of them cost less than 500 each
when new--many much less.
ssThe average assessed valuation in
Idaho is not over 500 of the actual
value. Placing autos on the same
basis we would have total assessed
valuation of $21,000,00O.
"Paying taxes direct, in licenses
and gasoline, amounting to 81, 5000,
the tax levy on autos would be over
79o. The average tax levy in Idaho
is no higher than that, if as high.
One authority that ought to know,
fixed it at sc.
cit appears, therefore, that autos
are paying their share, figured from
any angle. 1t seems unfair, therefore,
for the tax gathering authorities to
engineer any plan of raising addition
al tax money that would be plainly
discriminatory"

SOFT DRINK HAS

Average Bottle is Equal to

Says Expert.

While the word food defines, in
the popular sense, whatever one
eats in contradistinction to what
one drinl1ss and consequently a
solid substance as opposed to fluid,
the average person would be sur
prlSed to learn how much is, drink
Of what he takes as food and, vice
versa. how much food he obtains
In what he esteems as beverage.
There is more than a metaphor
in the old saying. "It is food and

Hartman, of the Michigan State
Bureau of Foods and Standards.
Addressing the recent convention
Of the Ohio Bottlers' Association
at Columbus, Mr.. Hartman, after

of bottled carbonated beverages to
the food producing industries as q
whole, as emphasized by the recent
announcement by federal statisti-
clans that the people of this coun-
try in 1928 paid $3.50, 100000 for
soft drinks, said:
Notwithstanding the progress Of
your industry in the last decade,
even today a lot Of folks look upon
carbonated beverages merely as
