set forth IN such statement; that in every

ate, have diligently, and by the best
means ~ my power, endeavored to
ascertain the true amount and value,
and that, as verify believe, the full
value therefor ie set forth in the above

OF his property which he was required
by law to iist,nor have connived at any
valuation or evasion OF any of the re.
quiremahts Of the lawn relation to the
assessments OF property for taxation.
The presumption ia that each
assessor conforms to the dec

affidavit, while the fact sisthat not one
in ten does anything more than certify
to it. We are In favor of assessment q
full valuation for many vitsl reasons.
Taxation is not reduced by placing q
low estimate upon the value of propl
erty. A certain amount of revenue is
demanded and collected, and ifone cent
on dollar will not furnish this revenue,
then the percentage is increased until
the demand for funds is complied with.

Yankton is fine and prosperous city,
and this county is one OF the best in the
territory. The assessment valuation OF
the county.i is less than $2,2OO,OO0. II
the psoperty of Yankton county we're

Referring to the section Id the Hill
Dakota division bill which preseribes o
vote by sections on the division propo-
sition and majority iu each section be-
fore division can be accomplished, the
Pierre Free Press says.
The section quoted evidently contem-
plates that division must have major
tity of.gotes id both sections Of Dakota,
although Its language is blind. AS that
lis the evident intent of The bill, the Free
Press phesi itatIpgl W enters Its protest
Eagainat. that provision, and huiGB that if
the matter is stlpnit ted 10 sa5yote at all !,
q! naa Srity of the entire vote of the pres
ent-teFrftory uught to be sufficient with
FONT compllcating matters further. If
that clause is just. Why not go further
and say that it must receive a majority
| in every county? One is nearly as
reasonable as the other.
ghs gMitchells Republican, ia an
andy aisaof the Hill bill remarks:
In the first place it provides for sub
mitting the question of division separate
ly to each section of Dakota; If the south
gives an overwhelming majority in favor
lofit, and the north every so small Q ma
jority against ii, the measure fails. ~ The
tinjustice OF this provision is so appar-
ent that ii needs no elaboration. 1t is
1.-THE worst sort OF minority representa-
| tion,, as 1T were.
4, Tne Republican further criticisss the
bill for the effort contained therein to
establish five United States courts in the
south hall of Dakota, namely, at Yank-
tan, Sioux Falls, Huron. Pierre and
Deadwood. In the light of recent ex-
Eperiences thecourss business seems to be
oVerdoue. There are now two United
States courts in south Dakota and in
one Of them o week 3 ont of every six
