Frnnchi.es Should Be Taxed.

Some franchises of tremendous value
now escape taxation. Many of them
were obtained by doubtful methods. BY
some means the holders Of such fran
chises should be compelled to contribute
to the expense of government. There is
room on the statute books fer a law
which will not only provide for a tax,
but which will not contemplate either
contiscation or anything bordering upon
it. There is room on the statute books
for a law which will so operate that
some return shall be made for privileges
exchanged for, in many cases, less than
a mess of pottage. With this PROPOSE
ton only the benefciaries themselves
will quarrel. 1t is not socialism. 1t
does not even suggest socialism. Ire
mendous revenues come from fran
chises. The list of privileges worth mil
lions a year is an exceedingly long one.
The conviction that they have been free
from assessment long enough has crys-
tallized.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Snaps in Sewing Machines.

The day for paying $65 to SIS for
a sewing machine has passed. There
is no need of doing such a thing
unless you wish to help pay the
high salaries of sewing machine So
licitors. You can't afford to do it.
But talking of sewing machines,
if you want to see the finest line of
them ever shown in Rapid City and
for sale at prices never before nam
ed in the Hills, just drop into the
Tom Sweeney Hardware Company
and see what they've got. A big
line of the famous "New Home,'
just received-the finest, prettiest,
most durable and simplest machine
on earth. Prices about half that
charged for Gust as good ma
chimes. These machines are cheap
in price only. There is nothing
IN the sewing machine world that
will excel them, no matter what a
fancy price you r charged for it..
The fact is the Tom Sweeny Hard
ware Co., is selling better sewing
machines for less money than you
can buy then, east today. Don't
let a travelling solicitor for
ANY MAKE of machine to talk you
out of $40 to $50 by charging you a
high price for a machine. You
can't afford it aud there's no use of
your doing it. Every dollar counts
and yoa only have to let go of a few
of them at the Tom SWEENEY Hard
ware Co., to get as good a machine
as human ingenuity vel contrived
aud manufactured. Step in and
look over these snaps. Now is the
time to buy.

latter was ali inconsistent system
