approximately about 25 per cent
should be withheld from the city, and
the government denied the use of that
money which by right and by law it is
entitled to have, and which it must
have in order to enable it to fulfill it's
obligations. 1t occurs to us that all
patriotic and w-abidiug citizens are
equally Interested with the officials of
the city in having all Of the contracts
that are Intended to promote the wei
fare OF the community, faithfully and
honestly carried out, and one way to
do that is for every citizen and tax
payer to promptly contribute his just
proportion of the burdens of taxation.
Those OF our people who have failed
to thus pay are making it more dill
cult for the city authorities to proper
ly discharge their public duties, and
where this failure to pay is due to an
intention upon the part of the tax
payer to embarrass the administra-
ton, or to evade his just proportion of
the public debt, the officers are. In
our humble opinion, justified in having
recourse to the remedies provided by
law for the enforced collection of
taxes and levies-
?. We therefore respectfully call
your attention to the power that is
conferred upon you, as city collector,
III the charter of the city, as contain
edo in section %, of chapter II of the
Acts of the Legislature of 1893. which
said section, in part, reads as fol
lows: at shall be tlle duty Of the city
collector to collect city taxes, license,
Icvies, assessments, wharfage. water
rents. and such other city claims Gs
are placed in his hands for collection
by TIE council: in case the same are
not paid on or before the thirty-hrSf
day of October, after they are placed
in his hands for collection, he shall
collect interest at the rate Of one-half
per certum per month until the sam"
are paid. and may distrain and sell
thereof in like manner as the shecii.
-nay distran and sell for said taxes.
and he shall have, in all respects, the
SAINT power as the sheriff to enforce
the payment and collection thereof
And we do further call your. attention
to the ordinances relating to the water
system OF The city, in which it is pro-
Fided that upon a failure TO pay water
rents within twenty (20) days after
:; me becomes due, the city author3-
ties are required to disconnect the de-
ifnquent consumer from the water sys7.
tenn
In conclusion, We certainly trust
that sufficient funds viii be forthcom-
ing when needed to discharge the
pressing obgaI tons OF the city, and
in order to ERECT this result, tho com
11ittee feels that it must have the
CO. rrest cooperation and assistance of
all of the city officials, yourself among
the number.

Ben HOOver's Opinion.

1t is generally conceded that Ben.
P. Hoover, who is distributor of
passes over the Northwestern road.
is a pretty strong friend ct Pierre in
this capital matter. The Redfield
Press discovered statement made
by Mr.. Hoover in the Sioux Falls
Argus. Leader two years ago, con-
cerning the condition of the state
capitol building at Pierre, and az
there is more or less discussion today
about the old structure, Bens opin.
ion is published, as reproduced from
the Press: -.,..s
At present there is constant danger
of fire which would do irreparable
damage to the state. The old capitol
building is light frame structure
which would burn up in few minutes
If YOU touched a match to it. 1t is
fiimsily constructed, cold in winter and
hot in summer. without suitable ven
tilation for the Legislature or the su'
preme court and practically without
fire protection. besides being about as
unattractive to look at as any old liv-
cry stable of the days before the war.
The situation has not improved any
during the past two years, and if any
thing it is worse.

Porto Ricans Are Citizens.

Washington, January Ain an opinion
by Chief Justice Fuller, the supreme court
of the United States today decided that
citizens of Porto Rico are not aliens of the
United States and that they are entitled
to enter this country without obstruction.
The opinion was delivered in the case OF
the Porto Ricon woman Gonzales. who in
1902 was refused admission to the port
of New York on the ground that she was
likely to become public charge. The
decision was based entirely on the immi-
grafton act of 1891, and took the ground
that the Porto Ricans owe allegiance to
the United States and to no other govern
ment
