CARNEGIE BEsPeAKs MERCY.
Says ihe Government Should Treat Rguinal-
do as a Grave Enemy.

In speaking of the capture of Aguin-
aldo, Andrew Carnegie said" If Aguln-
aldo has been captured, am sure that
President Mckinley will direct that
he shall be treated like brave foe,
who has fallen victim to the fate of
war, remembering that had Washing
ton been captured he would have been
called rebel like Aguinaldo. Every
thing Is pardonable to n leader who
fights for the independence of his coun-
try against an invader. History will
record Aguinaldo's cause as sacred to
him, regardless of our views now,
therefore, he must be honored in cap
tiyity."

Express company filed a protest with

claims that the law requires the board
to consider earnings of corporations in
fixing valuations and that it's earnings
In South Dakota for the past year have
been only s7S2.T0. AS the tax levied on
corporations is IS mills, that company
will be called upon to pay into the state
treasury, as Its annual tax, $110, on all
Its property in thes state. This may
look like a large tax on company
which earns no more than is shown in
It's statement, but there is another side
to this. A representative OF one of the
express companies operating in the
state upon being questioned as to its
statement furnished. stated that IT
only included business wholly within
the state, and did not in any way in
clude interstate business, and that the
statements We're made out for all other
states In the same way. AS over 80
per cent of the express business is in
serstate, the discrepancy is really not so
large as it seems.
