COTTONWOOD, - - IDAHO IDAHO COUNTY'S GOOD SHOWING Only 9 Others in State Sur- pass Us in Valuation. Of Idaho's 41 counties only nine surpass Idaho county in its assessed valuation according to returns made by the State Board of Equalization which recently closed its sessions in Boise. The assessed value of Idaho county exclusive of railways, tele- phones, etc. is given as $10,811,113. The richest county is Ada with Boise as the county seat and is assessed at over $26,000,000. The lowest is the new county of Butte assessed at $1,- 740,202. At the rate the income of Idaho is increasing and pork barrel appropria- tions are being held down, this com- monwealth within a period of four short years may become taxless—so far as a state levy is concerned. Ey- ery year finds the amount required to be raised by direct taxes for state ex- penses reduced. Three years ago it was $900,000. The state board of equalization at its recent meeting cut that to $652,000, which is more by $145,810 than the books of the state auditor show is actually needed to run the state. No chances are being taken and the margin is allowed to meet any emergency. The amount actually necessary to meet state expenses in 1918 is in reality but $506,190. The leaks in the operation of Ida- ho’s state government are rapidly be- ing plugged. The revenue from vari= ous sources, principally from loans, is rising rapidly, Within the past 12 months they experienced a $400,000 increase. Next year this increase will be added to. If this policy continues, claim state officials, a taxless state may be more of a reality than a dream. Prominent Men Coming to the Farmers Institute. State Deputy Director of the Farm Markets Dept. Chas. Waggoner, writ- ing from Post Falls, in a letter to Pete Gaul concludes by saying, “I will be glad to be with you on Oct. 2 and 3 and help in every way possible to make your institute a success,’ A number of other prominent speakers will be present and the farmers who fail to be present will miss a rare treat. Allright as Far as He can See In these"times of war all the hulla- baloo and noise about the scantiness of women’s attire is inconsistent. Does not the government ask every- one to conserve in every way possible, and are not the women following this suggestion by having their dresses cut low at the top and high at the bottom? When a female appears on our streets in such abbreviated garb, one could knock off'a hat-full of goo goo eyes with a minnow rod, in two seconds by the watch. No wonder Ferdinand of, fers a field for two transient eye spe- cialists in one week. The above is from the Ferdinand Enterprise and is sure proof that the abbreviated costumes are allright “as far as its editor can see.” Ordinance No. 98.
