TAX REDUCTION
HARD TO S|DETRACK

The Presidential unqualified en-
dorsement of Secretary Melons tax
reduction proposals has emphasized
the public approval that has been
growing of its own momentum ever
since the Secretary's letter to the
Acting Chairman Of the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means was pub
lished on November 18th.
The enthusiasm with which Secre-
tary Melons proposal has been well
coined shows how grateful is the
taxpaying public for even a slight
measure of relief. For if all of his
recommendations should be adopted
we should still be struggling under a
burden of taxation that would have
BEEN considered intolerable few
years ago in any country in the
world.
Sentiment as expressed through
the country press does not take kind
ly to political schemes proposed in
Washington which would make
action upon tax reduction conting-
ent upon passage or non-passage of
some other measure. The people want
lower taxes and politicians who cause
delay in securing them will have to
do some good explaining back
home"

RATES Lower ON
WHEAT AND FLOUR
eubstAa4Asd Dec6eascS Annooncod By
Union Pacific 70 Points South
and 6o1t13ca1G

Boise, Idaho-An Announcement
that interests many growers and
shippers of Idaho II that substantial
reductions In freight rates have been
made on wheat and flour from all
southern Idaho territory to points in
the south and southeast.
THE reduced rates have been the
subject of negotiations between the
Union Pacific. and connecting lines
for some time" said Joel L. Priest
general agent of the Union Pacific
system, and by reason of our will
lingness to accept smaller percent
age Of division for our servics to
eastern junction points. We have
been able to establish rates on .
lower basis than might otherwise
have been possible. Grain and flour
men have expressed themselves as
being very much pleased with the
new schedule. The reduced rates
Will apply to the points where Idaho
producers find their principal
southern and southeastern markets"
In addition to reductions to spe-
cific points, the new tariff carries
proportional rates to Memphis on
wheat and flour destined to stations
beyond. Idaho has never heretofore
had these proportional rates. For
example. tho rate direct to Mem
phis on wheat from the Twin Falls
territory is today TAN cents. On
January 5th the new rate took ef-
feet, II cents. The rate on flour
to Memphis vas TAN cents, with
10000 pounds minimum and is
now II cents on cars OF $4,000 min
imum and "a cents on cars OF 4o,-
600 minimum. The proportional
rate to Memphis on wheat from
Twin Falls viii be s7H cents and on
flour GIN, or 4 net reductions of
cents on shipments destined beyond
Memphis.
An examination of the tariff shows
reduction on wheat from Twin Falb
to Eldorado, Arkansas. from 81
cents to so cents. Many stations in
Arkansas. Misst%pN. Tennessee,
Louisiana. Georgia and Alabama are
affected by the new tar-i

This is occasioned by the fact that
flour made from our irrigated wheat

stantly increased and in the success
