DAHOAN HAS PUN
End of State Debts and Taxes
Desire of Weiser Banker.
SALE OF LANDS SOLUTION
Plan Is to Sell 300,000 Acres Each
Year Until Holdings Exhausted,
Providing Interest of Many
Mfllions Annually.
BOISE, Idaho, June 14. (Special.)
One of the most remarkable plans pro
posed in this state to free Idaho from
indebtedness and place the state on a
non-taxation basl3 was presented to
the IdaJio Bankers' Association at its
recent meeting: at "Weiser by Senator
D. W. Davis, of American Falls, presi
dent of the First National Bank- of
that city. He proposed the sale of 300,-
(7). (gjr
000 acres of land a year by the state
to raise a sum of more than $30,000,
000 to be loaned out at interest, part
of the Interest money to be placed
aside from year to year in a surplus
fund, thereby multiplying the state's
earning capacity.
The plan has set many business men
and financiers of this city to think
ing. Already it has staunch supporters
and many who are in opposition to it.
Idaho has 2,934,000 acres that are
unsold. Under the law only 25 seo
tions, or 16,000 acres, can be sold each
year. At this rate It would take the
state more than 183 1-8 years to dis
pose of Its land holdings.
State's Assets 950,000,000.
The state's capital now Is $8,600,000,
consisting approximately of $5,000,000
in unmatured land oontracts, drawing
6 per cent interest; $2,000,000 In bonds,
drawing 5 and 6 per cent, and $1,500,000
in farm loans earning 6 and 7 per
cent. The total assets of the state
are, however, more than $50,000,000.
Taking to total assets of the state
as a basis. Senator Davis proposes by
his plan to build a financial earning
producer for Idaho so that In 11 years
taxes would be reduced 40 per cent by
paying the cost of the state's schools
out of the earnings, leaving a balance
to add to the working fund to provide
every cent of revenue required In the
state, county and municipalities, long
before the resources of the state can
be brought into action under the pres
ent system.
Every citizen In the state would be a
stockholder under the Davis plan. He
proposes to place the sale price of the
lands at the minimum price allowed by
law, or $10 an acre, although the aver
age received by the state for its land
is $16 an acre, thereby raising the big
fund, by selling 300,000 acres of land
each year. This would enable the state
to dispose of all of Its land in 10 years,
adding $3,000,000 yearly to the state's
interest-bearing securities. The inter
est should be reloaned, increasing the
state's earning power by this increase
in funds.
The sale of all of the state's land
would, under the Davis plan., bring
into the coffers of the state $23,840,000
in cash and interest-bearing contracts.
By lending the Interest earned and pay
ments at six per cent, the state's Inter
est would be Increased $16,177,000,
bringing the state's dormant resources
and active assets totaling $45,517,000.
Adding to this amount $8,500,000, the
cash on hand, the working fund would
be $54,017,000.
Up to the 11th year, under the Davis
plan, the interest earnings would total
S3, 241,000. The cost of the schools of
the state Is estimated at $2,000,000 a
year. Deducting this amount from the
interest earnings a balance of $1,241,
000, or a surplus which would increase
each succeeding year by reason of
keeping this annual surplus employed
would be left.
Quick Riches Idea.
Senator Davis estimates the state
would enter its 21st year with a fund
of $70,375,000. The Interest earning at
six per cent of this amount would be
$4,222,000. On the 31st year the fund
would grow to $93,079,000, on the 51st
year, $179,678,000, 71st year, $421,836.
000. 81st, $648,715,000. In 92 years, one
half the time it would take to sell the
state's land holding under the present
laws, $930,913,000 would be held by the
state under the Davis plan. At four
per cent the state would earn on this
amount, $37,236,000 Income enough each
year to meet the combined needs of the
state forever, It Is declared.
The state now receives 74 cents an
acre from Its land when leasing it for
grazing and 15 cents an acre when leas
ing it for agricultural purposes. Under
the Davis plan If the land Is sold the
state and Its citizens will get the In
terest on the purchase price and the
taxes on the land, which would bring
in from 87 cents to $L50 an acre, de
pending on the sale price.

$450,000 LAW VALID
Circuit Judge Dismises Suit
Brought by L. H. McMahan.
APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN
Court Rules State Appropriation to
Aid Columbia Southern Project
Is Constitutional, Denying An
alogy of Crater Road Case.
SALEM, Or., June 14. (Special.)
Holding that the bill passed at the last
session of the Legislature, appropriat
ing 5450,000 for the reclamation of land
in the Columbia Southern project, is not
unconstitutional. Circuit Judge Gallo
way today dismissed the suit brought
by L. H. McMahan to enjoin the Secre
tary of State and the State Treasurer
from expending the money. Mr. Mo
Mahan has announced his intention of
appealing the case and has 60 days in
which to do so. Meanwhile Engineer
Lauregaard, in charge of the work, has
been instructed by the Desert Land
Board to cut down expenses to a mini
mum. Judge Galloway holds that the state
can, under a policy of internal improve
ment, reclaim its arid lands for the
benefit of all the people under a "wise
and progressive policy." The opinion
continues:
"Under the Carey act and the accep
tance of its provisions under section
3S60, Lord's Oregon laws, the state
comes Into possession of its arid land
for reclamation, with a lien on said land
for all expenditures mail therefor
under the supervision of the Desert
Land Board. Under the provisions of
the act in question both principal and
interest are to be eventually returned
to the state. We are unable to see the
analogy in the case at bar with what
is known as the provisions of the Crater
Lake road case."
Mr. McMahan alleged that the bill
pledges the credit of the state and in
curs an Indebtedness in violation of the
constitution. He declared taxes paid "by
all the people were to be used in pro
viding land for one class.
Attorney-General Crawford, who rep
resented the defendants, declared that
the state was not obligating Its credit,
and that it had a legal right to engage
in the work of internal improvements
and to appropriate money raised by di
rect taxation. TheCrater Lake road
case wsa held not to be an analogous
one, because that was decided by the
Supreme Court to be an appropriation
under a special or local act. That ap
propriation was $100,000 and Mr. Mc
Mahan won his suit to enjoin the ex
penditure of the money. The Supreme
Court held that "a statute making an
appropriation for the construction of a
state road and permitting the County
Courts of the counties through which
the road runs to lay a burden upon the
taxpayers of the county, not shared
equally by the taxpayers of other parts
of the state, Is local and In violation
of the constitution."
