Won't Pay Their Taxes.

Last spring the county commissioners

made before them by the Anglc-Ameri-

Of the company's tax, the same amount

dollars. This action did not SUIT the

Dakota All Right,

The report of Auditor Ward shows
that daring the past two years the terri
tory paid out $4,000 more than it took
in. This shortage was caused mainly
by the very liberal appropriations for
the different institutions ofthe territory.
For permanent improvements and main
tcnance for the last biennial period over
81 100000 was expended and this was
a greater drain than the maximum terri.
,orial tax would ALLOW. In the rush "f
bills two years = neither the members
of the Legislature nor the governor real
lied the total aggregate or so large sun
would not have been appropriated But
for al that Il deficit exists Dakota Is far
from bankrupt. \ tax of / mill on the
assessed valuation would more than
make good the estimated shortage Of
1889, and this is a tax which no one
would feel. The debt Of the territory is
but little over 81 100000, all invested in
public buildings. The assessed valua-
ton is Sl6l 100000, and to speak of the
commonwealth as bankrupt because it
suddenly developed that the cash box
was empty is speaking rather loosely
If the tax were authorized the entire
debt of the territory, aside from the run
ming expenses, could he provided for in
a single year and no one would realize
what had been done. So far from being
a bankrupt, Dakota is on the high road
to prosperity. Her people brayely bear
the burdens Of a new country, and they
would willingly carry a still greater load
If necessity required Tx.
