Abolishing Custer county urged by Battle Ground residents
A Battle Ground precinct letter argues against abolishing Custer county, praising local ranchers and stockmen and noting high taxes. It contends the idea originated locally, not in Hailey, and warns against annexations that would shift burdens to neighboring counties. The piece cites current debt, property trends, and suggests relief measures should come from legislative action rather than dissolution.

Idaho Bill Seeks Tax on Mine Gross Output
Senator Moore of Latah proposes a bill to tax the gross output of mines, printed on page 8. Opponents call it the worst idea yet, saying it would close mines in Custer county or the state. Representative Mandell of Blaine also seeks taxes on patented quartz mines at 5 per acre and placer at 2.5 per acre, which critics deem too low and urge defeat.
