Great Crowds Want Land in Rosebud
Reservation.

Sioux City, July 25.-The final day
Of the registration Of names of those
who will be entitled to a chance IN
the drawing for homes in the Rosebud
reservation saw hundreds of people
crowding to the registration booths.
While names were recorded by the
hundreds there were likewise a great
number of those who, depending upon
the last moment, were just few
moments late in arriving at the booth
and thus were not permitted to have
their names enrolled on the books for
the purpose of drawing.
The Offices were closed at all of the
four places Saturday at 6 o'clock. At
Bonesteel, where the utmost of ex-
element has characterized the regis
tration, the crowds about the town
were quiet and peace now reigns. AS
a matter of course there will be large
numbers of persons who will remain
in Bonesteel until the final craving.
thus leaving an opening for grafters
and INSCRIPTIONS persons.
No excitement was noticeable at the
close of the registration offices. q

THE CRY OF HIGHER TAXES.

Those opposed to progress in the
public schools used the cry of high
er taxes as their only argument. They
could not claim that the Salem public
schools were what they should be for
city like Salem.
For number of years the levy has
been maintained at eight mills. That
is for the district, and many districts
In the state make a much higher levy.
The state and county levy for school
purposes besides.
It can be shown, and was shown in
the campaign that, with the present
levy. there are abundant funds to add
the higher grades, and build the rooms
needed. Before any debt comes due
a high school can be built.
All this can be done without raising
taxes and without incurring a dollar
of debt The verdict of the people at
the late election is that the directors
shall proceed to add higher grades and
provide more rooms.
In fact the board of directors have
no choice in this matter which has
been SO emphatically decided upon by
the vote of the people. A school di'
rector who will now oppose progress
is defying the will of the district,
A liberal and progressive policy OF
promotion should animate the school
board unless they await further in
structions from the people. Let a
policy be adopted in the interest of
the schools alone.

BENEFITS OF ExPERTINe.

The benefit of exporting the city
records by the committee of the city
council lay not so much in the sums
recovered, as in the suggestions made
for improvements in the manner of
keeping the records.
For instance, as q result of that in
yestigation a complete set of books
for the city treasurer have been writ
ten up, and are to be furnished the
city for the past six years.
While the exporting showed no
great deficiencies on the part of the
Citizens administration in accounting
for the funds, and the city will lose
nothing, old abuses have been carried
on that should have been abolished.
The city treasurer, according to re-
port adopted by the city council,
should keep his own office, and have
his books open to inspection at all
times. He should keep the books and
the Office himself.
The warrant register should be open
for ready reference by any citizen. The
city has been supposed to be on a
cash basis for number of years, but
the warrant register shows nearly all
warrants have drawn interest
These are only small samples Of
petty abuses and advantages taken Of
the old way of conducting the Office of
city treasurer, that the exporting re-
port il carried into effect will do away
with.
