TIMBERMEN DODGE TAXES Tax Commissioners Informed $75,000, 000 to. $100,000,000 Value Eaeapaa Boise. The tax commission haa re cently been In receipt of a number of communications from county assessors of several northern counties, calling attention to a vexing situation In con nection with the taxing of timber lands In Ne Perce, Lewis, Clear water, Idaho. Latah. Shoshone and Kootenai counties, for which, ao fur. there seems to be no adequate remedy. The particular cause of complaint Is In re gard to acrtpped landa In the forests In the north. These landa, which ara extremely valuable, except In rare In stances, have never been patented, and as a consequence under the lew ara not taxable. The aggregate acrcnga that Is held In this way by great cor porations In theae counties Is said to be ( er 2,000,000 acrea. Much of thla land. It la claimed, has a cash value of from :.i- to flOO an acre, and It is probable (hat the landa thn- escaping taxation would aggregate In value $76. 000,000 to $100,000,000. In aome of the counties thla condi tion of tax dodging haa become ao aerlotia that taxpayers' leaguea have been formed to endeavor to aecura the taxing of the landa before patent, or If that cannot be done, to expedite patent ho that the lands may become tnxuhle Such a league was recently organised In Clearwater county, and a number oi sjiajsjtlngl hac been held.
