The BeacOn's Screed.

The Beacon gave its readers
last week a double column of
loaded campaign material quota
tions from Othe Telegraph at
Friend, Neb. 1t states that the
Telegraph is a staunch republic
can paper. The facts are the
editor of the Telegraph is any
thing but staunch republican
and has no standing as republic
can and no influence where best
known. His TRADE against the
revenue law and Gov. Mickey is
the silliest rot and will have nc
weight with those who read ant
think for themselves. Tha'
there will be many instances
where valuations have been in
creased comes as matter of fac
where an honest assessment ha
been made. The object of tn
law is to equalize taxes. Tha
could not be done unless in som
cases the valuation was raise
and in other cases lowered.
The unvsersal demand of tn
people was for an equalization {
taxes. The new revenue la
meets the demand. No hone:
man will complain if his take
are no more in proportion tina
his neighbors.

that he knew lie was not going

Gus threats as to what he would

On the morning of March rs,
the day on which the new law

telephoned to Mr.. Ruth, the

up for passage in the Senate that
morning, giving him (Ruth)I

above the old test and were but
slightly under the new. l was
prompted by no consideration Tor
the Standard Oil Company as
company, but only by sense OF
fairness. 1t cannot be argued
that the rejection or the passing
of these cars would make any
particular difference to the Com
pany. 1t was simply a question
of equity, as l viewed it, and
acted accordingly.
Neither the Standard Oil
Company nor any other oil COM
pany has shown any disposition
to evade the requirements of the
new law and since the> four cars
in controversy we're disposed of
not single car of illuminating
oil has been shipped into this
state that did not come up to the
new test.
Mr.. Hays, in his circular,
states that Edward Church, at
that time deputy oil inspector,
worked against the new inspec-
ton law while the matter was
being considered by the legisla-
ture. He addressed a letter to
me making such charge. l IN
vestigated the matter and found
there was nothing in the allega'
ton. Upon this point submit
these facts:
The bill passed the Senate by
vote of 20 to 5.
The bill passed the House by
a vote of "A, and not single

This would indicate that NJ

Ed. Barker Found Dead.

Last Sunday morning the re-
mains of Ed. Barker, a young
man employed by John Henry, |
on the dray, was discovered by
the crew of Al at the west end of
railroad bridge which is just east
of the corporation limits, in a
mutilated condition.
The right leg was severed from
the body, lying near the center
between the rails five or six feet
from the west end of the bridge.
The body was on the north side
of the track with the other leg
wedged between the ties of the
bridge. 1t was broken in two
places. One arm and hand had
been run over and was badly
nutilated. The skull was frac-
tured and other portions of the
body cut and bruised. County
Attorney Humphrey took charge
of the remains in the absence of
Coroner Morrow and had them
removed to Woods undertaking
rooms where the inquest was
held Sunday and Monday, con-

Here is a quotation from the
Beacon of last week:
"The railroads within the
state succeeded in having their
valuations lowered about 30 per
cent, while the farms were doubl-
ed in value"
A statement of that kind in
face of the fact that the railroads
of the state were valued at ninety
five million dollars more thar
formerly and that they were as
sessed for ninteen millions more
shows how little regard the Bea
con has for its reputation TO
truth and varacity.

Oil Scandal" which is being cir
culated over the state by enemies
of mine and in the interests OF
another candidate for the govern
or-ship. One, ]. E. Hays, Ex-
Chief Oil Inspector, furnishes
the ammunition for this circular
and the basis for the numerous
differences derogatory to me-
knowing that all fair minded
people want to know the facts be-
fore passing judgment / submit
the following statement:
The new law raising the test
of illuminating oil from 100 to
liz degrees became effective
April 10, 1908.
]. E. Hayes was chief oil in
spector at that time.
1t is a generally accepted that
when a new law is passed effect
ing goods in transit reasonable
time should be given the shipper
in which to conform his ship
ments to the new order.
Mr.. Hays recognized this
principle.
1t was not until April IA, four
DAYS after the law went into
effect, that Mr.. Hays notified
the Standard Oil Company OF the
higher test required, showing
that he was in no particular
hurry to serve notice.
AS late as April 81, more than
two weeks after the law went in,
to effect, he passed a car of Oh
that tested but 1OS degrees, ant
o between April 10 and April 2
? he passed no less than thirteer
: cars of oil that fell from two t.
8 nine degrees below the new test
a Mr.. Hays did this on his ow
II motion, in recognition of the fac
n that the oil was in transit at tn
II time the new law went into ei
feet and that it would be an III
warranted hardship on the shiI
pers to compel them to reca
o. said oil.
y, A few days prior to April 2
~ I don't know the exact date, fol-
OF cars more of oil were received

Company which did not qui
m come up to the new test.

The property valuation OF the
county has been slightly increas-
ed, but not unjustly. The best
horses were valued at 500, and
assessed for $40. If a farm is
worth SIS an acre it was so valu-
ed and assessed at one NTH OF It's
value. Another farm worth not
more $1,000 an acre has been
valued at $1,000 and assessed at
$500. The same policy prevails
throughout the county and state.
The new law made it possible
TO raise the assessed valuation of
the railroads of the state of 10
per cent, while the.increase in the
valuation OF the land and person
al property of Custer county was
only raised about IS per cent.
The valuation of all property
was partly increased but the levy
of the county and state were de-
creased six mills or nearly 80 per
cent. The decrease in the levies
is eight per cent less than the
increase in the valuation. But
the great gain is the equalization.

tax is higher this year than last
it is due from increased property.
