Idaho Textbook Commission Resigns Over Agreement
N. J. Rice chair of the Idaho textbook commission says the five member panel resigned in protest at the Idaho Board of Education. The action followed the board's readoption of Dr C J Brosnan's History of the State of Idaho and a continued use of his 1918 book with a 32 page supplement. The board says no action was taken on the resignation and details remain unconfirmed. The commission will await Berber text progress reports through the 1947-48 school year.

Northern Pacific Protests Property Taxes in Idaho
The Northern Pacific railroad plans to protest Idaho taxes in eight North Idaho counties, accusing discrimination in assessment. It filed a petition with the state tax commission to reconsider Idaho property value totaling 8,106,600 dollars, arguing assessments by regular county assessors are under 50 percent of fair value while the commission’s equalizations exceed 50 percent. The commission handles utility assessments. A separate note mentions a painting demonstration at Atkinson's Appliance and Variety store with workers from the figurine factory.
