Show HOLD DOWN EXPENSES THE Idaho state board of equalization equaliza-tion is to make a readjustment of valuation for tax levies. One thought should be uppermost in the minds -of every state, county and city official in whose hands rests the expenditure ex-penditure of public money economy. The nation is urging its citizens to conserve resources. This advice should apply to every department de-partment of the state government. Every unnecessary dollar that is taken ta-ken from the public and industries at ' this time in the shape of taxes makes it just that much harder for them to raise the extraordinary sums they are now being called on to furnish for national needs. The sails for the ship of state' should be cut to fit the cloth at hand and not enlarged at a time like the present. Encourage industry by lightening the tax load as much as possible. If readjustments re-adjustments are necessary see that the burden is held to a minimum. This is equally applicable to other states than Idaho and even to the national na-tional government itself. |
