One OF the most prominent land

time ago With his family. Mr.. Test

Mr.. Test paid 800 per acre for the

bafgain. In March MIR. Test will
take possession OF the place and at

residence that will cost him SIS, 600.
BY paying this price for the land
MIR. Test reposcs.a great deal OF con-

ALI HE STATE is GOOD

Nermillion Pain Talk For half a
newspaper, every preacher, every
merchant. every man, woman and
child in the state have been pro
claiming ON every and all occasions
that South Dakota was great state.
and that every part was good, aud
no man could lie found who would
say differently until it happened
Mitchell wanted the capital.
In the first place it was not that
Mitchell happened to want the cap-
Ital-it was because 100 members of
the legislature wanted to give the
people an opportunity to change its
location. The Republican has boost
ed right along year i'm and year out
for every part Of the state for its
natural resources. We have written
line upon line for the agricultural
portion in the Jim and Sioux VAL
leYS, OF the great mineral wealth in
the Black Hills and OF the great
grazing section of the country on the
reservation. In referring to the
grazing section west OF Pierre we
have taken our cue absolutely from
what the Pierre papers have always
northumberland it was one of the
greatest wealth producing features
of the state. Now Pierre is turning
around and knocking the industry
that she once held as an attractive
feature Of that section. That was
after the capital campaign was start
ed and they saw the center of popu-
lation WAS the Keynote to the cam
paign, and to inake an effort to make
the people believe that Pierre was
going o.-become eligible in that di-
fection she sacrificed her great graz
ing interests.

paign chiefly on the allegation that
Mitchell is helittling the resources
of the state by stating the proven
facts as to the trans Missouri coun-
try, anG in choosing this battle
ground virtually abandons the old
time arguments. 1t seems to me it
makes little difference as to the ami
mus of Mltchell's arguments when the
facts bear them out. The question
for the voters OF the state to determ-
inc is whether mitchell is not now
and will be for an indetinite.time the
more accessible of the TWO towns:
Offering to provide adeqate temporary
capitol accommodations and a site
for future permanent buildings:
whether it will be to the interest of
the taxpayers to have their legisla-
tive and state offices in closer touch
with the taxpayers, WheHioer the
convenience OF four-fifths of the
people of the state is not worthy of
greater consideration than that of
one-iiftb; and not whether Mitchell
wants the earth or is not acting in
good faith or at some time or other
stepped on the toes of other ambi-
tious localities.
Once this discussion gets on the
real merits OF the case aud there viii
be 40 doubt as to the result.

In all the Pierre supporting news
papers this week the Pierre Press
Bureau has caused an article to he
printed waning the people to watch
out for %roorbaclls which they claim
will be put out by Mitchell in the
closing days OF the campaign.
STEPPED in fraud and deception as
they are the Pierre outfit THINKS
that Mitchell will resort to the same
tactics as practiced by the tempo
rary capital city. That's just where
the Pierre fellows have fallen down
again. Mitchell is not indulging
and will not indulge in anything OF
that sort. What has been put forth
by this city during the campaign she
is willing to stand by. and the ahso-
lutte truth has been told at all times.
Pierre's knocking graft has gone up

been out to the capital and have
looked around have come to a realiz-

Pierre is seeking to prejudice the
m1nds OF the voters on the alleged
increase OF taxes by the removal of
che capital to Mitchell, holding that
much money will be lost to the state
in the value OF the state lands being
reduced by the removal Of the cap
ital. The state lands about which
Pierre is s solicitious are from 100
to l75 miles distant from Pierre and
the capital has no more bearing on
raising or lowering their value than
it has on the lands in Dawson, San
born. Beadle Or any counties within
the same range. What farmer whose
land is within lI5 miles of Pierre has
felt that the capital Increased OF
diminished the price OF his land9 Ii
is a mistaken ieda OF Pierre that the
state capital can have the least effect
on these lands. One OF the best H.
lustrationS is that Of two school sec
tions in Hughes county. which are
va ued by the state land department
at frOm SIS to IS per acre. and they
have had the benefit of being witAiu
31s miles OF the capital for fourteen
years. II the capital has such a
wonderful effect on prices why is it
that these lands are not worth 1925 to
$50 per acre? When the capital was
first located at Pierre $50 acres o.
these school lands were sold at 1926
and $50 per acre. and all but 80 acres
have been allowed to return to the
state government, as the parties de-
clined to make any more payments
on the land.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1904-11-04

Fourteen years ago Pierre had a
list OF twenty-eight promises and
%prophesies that she declared would
he a reality if the capital were Iocat-
ed at the geographical center. In
running over the list there is not one
OF them that has m~aterialized in I'LL
that time. Not a single one. .Nny
big promises that Pierre might
make today as to what is possible if
she retains the capital can he dis
counted Just 100 per cent. She has
ANONYMOUSLY failed i'm all she has
undertaken and she is now WORKING
a campaign OF prejudice and attempt
ing to falsify Mitchell's position in
the-campaign. However. when pco-
pie come to..this city it does nos take
them long to discover what Pierre
has said about the city is absolutely
false in every particular.

GOOD SENSE ON CAPITAL DUES.
TON

Editor Yankton Press and Dako-
tan: have been watching the cap
iatl campaign in It's several phases
with considerable interest OF late.
IL reminds me Of the big fight back
in '9O-it's so different. Then the
struggle was between Pierre --and
Huron aud we all put in some strong
ticks for Pierre on the strength OF
her claims Of future greatness, geo
graphical situation etc, etc. while
our Huron neighbors were lambast-
ing the life out OF the tr ms Missouri
country as a place Of settlement and
pointing the flneer OF scorn at
Pierre's prelensions. We were sin
cere, then, but events have shown
that our Judgment was misplaced.
Pierre stands were she did IA years
ago, so Tar as adjacent settlement,
railroad facilities and general fitness
are concerned but she has lost the
argument of future greatness, be-
cause it failed to arrive. Huron has
had the satisfaction Of seeing her
sneers OF the same period justified
IN part at least and up TO the time Of
the o celebrated capital removal
caucus stood on the same platform
with Mitchell-for the relocation of
the capital with a view to the better
accommodations of the general pub
lie and more ia accordance with the
natural growth and development OF
the state.
