That projects for the preservation

International law sanctions war.
Borah pointed. out. Declaring that
fundamentally, war is only wholesale

would outlay war. He would make

TAX KcOMMISSION
TALK Is SPREAD
N e It Legislature Will
F a c e Question
Once More

Boise-Ihere seems to be a grow
ing sentiment in favor Of re-establish-
ing the state tax commission and max
ing certain curtailments to take care
OF the cost This matter will un-
doubtedly be threshed out in the next
session OF the Idaho legislature.
Ii is related that the former tax
commission, although poorly equipped
TO secure the best results. presented
facts that brought out marked dis
ordinations in assessments as be-
tween counties and classes and that
It's work brought to the tax rolls
lot OF property assessed very low in
proportion TO that OF other properties
OF the identical class. Its death was
brought about largely from the TACT
that some of the counties objected to
being put on parity with other
counties similarly situated. 1t is now
felt, according to these reports, that
a mistake was made and that a tax
commission, given proper, powers
would be in position to act for the
distinct advantage OF every county.
In this connection there is also
talk of reviving the Office of immi-
grafton commissioner, so Idaho's
resources might be officially heralded
and effective colonization methods put
into practice.
To take care OF these agencies
financially the suggestion is made that
certain Offices and commissions be
abolished. This suggestion will meet
with opposition in influential quarters.
but the demand seems to come so
heartily from the rank and file that
its continuation would force serious
by the legislature.
