ties in the state and also raises or
lowers by percentage. Now you can
see that the county board or the State
tax commission did not or cannot
raise or lower your taxes by their ac-
tiOn of equalization. If your valua-
ton is left low your tax levy will be
high and if your valuation is raised
and left high, your tax levy will be
lower, leaving you to pay the same
amount of money on the valuation as
assessed by your assessor.
sturgeon Lake village has for 1923
levied $3,907.67 and this money must
be raised on a taxable property of
your village and must be paid by
you and no one else helps you pay
it. So for example, if your valuation
is $4,000, you must raise this $3,907.-
67 and if your valuation is $4,000,
the same $3,9O7.67 must be raised,
only your tax levy would be lower on
the $4,000 valuation
Mr.. Stepan also produced some alb
stracts from the assessors book at
the county auditors office. which
showed very unjust and erroneous as
sessments and the same was not
raised or lowered by the county board
or the State tax commission. These
could not have been remedied only by
the town board of equalization" said
Mr.. Stepan.
After considerable discussion as to
the possibility of re-aSseSsment and
other ways of adjusting this tax stu
alton, committee of three was APP
pointed, which included John Kolosky,
AXel Carlson and John Cunningham.
This committee appeared before the
county board at their regular meeting
at Pine City Monday and other proper
authorities to ascertain what could
be done toward improving the stu

Members of the bureau will appear

this week to answer further questions
and give whatever information is de-
sired.
According to Senator Charles Haus-
Ter of st. Paul, the State Board of In
vestments has lost $1,3OO.OOO in recent
years by the purchase of securities
from private bond brokers, and he has
introduced resolution calling upon
the board for an accounting. He will
follow his resolution with a bill to
place in the hands of the Big Three
supervision of the buying of securities
with state trust funds. He proposes
to give the Big Three "a real chance

Lower Auto Licenses Proposed.
Senator c. A. Lund of Otter Fail
county has put in a bill reducing Ii
censes on motor vehicles-a slash
which would result in loss of about
S75O,OO0 per year to the state highway
fund, it is estimated. The minimum
license fee would be reduced from $40
to $3.50 and there would be corre-
spending reductions on higher priced
cars and trucks, if the Lund bill
passes-which it won't, in all proba-
bilty.
1t is probable that the bill diverting
one third of the gasoline tax from the
state highway fund to the county
boards for use in improving county or
local roads will pass the house this
afternoon. 1t is being fought by
members from the big cities and a
few others. No action yet on the
bill to raise the gas tax.

DATE NOT YET SET

1t nov appears that press reports
quoted in the Spokesman last week
that the new application of the Wash
ington Irrigation and Development
company for lease of the Priest
Rapids power site would be con-
sidered by the water power leasing
board on March Is were incorrect.
From information now available it
seems that no date for hearing on
the application has yet been fixed by
the water power leasing board al
though it is believed that the hearing
will be held at an early date, possibly
in April
March IS is the date fixed by the
board for hearing the application of
the Puget Sound Light & Power COM
pany for lease OF the site at Rock
Island rapids, on the Columbia river
a few miles below Wenatchee. The
Wenatchee people are much interested
in the development Of this site and
are lending all possible aid and assis-
tance to the Puget Sound company in
securing it's lease.

SMALLER POTATO CROP
LIKELY THIS SEASON

Thirteen additional reports have
been received on intention to plant
since report was made last week. The
total number reporting to date are
sc indicating intention to plant 43s
acres CT early potatoes. A check of
the missionaries received, shows
that 29 of the 96 reporting, reported
that they did not intend to plant any
potatoes this spring, leaving the 81
remaining growers then, planting 43s
acres.
The QUESTIONABLE was sent to 377
and the number reporting to date is
approximately rs per cent. OF the
number returning missionaries, 80
per cent have indicated no intention
to plant. Just how many remaining
growers receiving the QUESTIONABLE,
intend to plant and the acreage they
intend to plant is the big question at
this time. If the percentage for those
still not reporting were to report as
have those returning questionnaires,
it would mean that the acreage would
run better than 1900 acres this year
for the two counties as compared to
1900 acres for Benton county last
year. The reports available at this
time are being sent to Mr.. Denee of
the Crop Reporting Service, to ask
just how he would report upon the
the information that we have.
The QUESTIONABLE included report
on eight other crops and while no
attempt was made. to select growers
1c t>,,<
ing the list to the early potatoes
growers Of last year, the report from
the replies received should be worth
some consideration. Those reporting
indicate intention to plant AZ acres
of cantaloupes; 1lH acres of early
lettuce; is acres of tomatoes; 10 acres
of onions; 62 acres of watermelons;
81 acres of fall lettuce; % acres of
spinach and 161 acres of late potatoes.
i To date, reports received, include
13 from Pasco, from Ringold, 10
from Richland, 10 from Benton City,
I from Prosser, 1 from White Bluffs
and Hanford and As from Kennewick.
According to Truck Crops News
Forecast Of February Fl, 1929, sent
to us by Mr.. Denee, Agricultural
Statistician stationed at Seattle,
Washington, California intends to
plant but Sc per cent of the crop
planted last year, which is down
practically to her crop of 1924 and

tentions to plant as reported, have
