Tax the Elevators

"A good many of the news
papers of the state are quoting
the Aberdeen Democrat on its
suggestion in relation to taxing
grain in the elevators. The
Democrat believes the gross
business transacted by an eleya-
tor during a year should be tax
ed, because the elevator men on
the first of May when the the
assessor comes around never
have any grain on hand. With
the proposition The Herald can't
quite agree. It would be as sen
sible to tax the merchant on the
amount of business he transacts
in a year or force the farmer to
give in" the amount of grain he
raises each year. The elevator
man buys the grain and sells it
again, the farmer raises the
grain and sells (which should
be taxed? Thousands of dollars
of goods are not taxed each year
because they have been manu-
featured and sold before the as
SCISSOR comes around"
The above is from the Armour
Herald, and it is said that Editor
Waite is interested financially in
the elevator business himself.
The editor of the DEMOCRAT is a
farmer, so the issue is clearly
drawn between the two classes
OF tax payers. The DEMOCRAT
contends thatthe elevators while
carrying on the most remunera-
tive business in the country are
the very worst of tax dodgers.
Most other dealers have an aver
age amount of their stock in
trade on hand May first and are
unable to evade their just pro-
portion of taxes. It is notorious
ly not so with the dealers in
grain. Their local representa-
tives are always instructed to
have their houses cleaned out by
May first, in order to show the
assessor their empty bins. The
elevator company may do a bust
ness amounting to a half million
dollars in a year in a town and
pay less taxes than a little
side street grocer.
Now, as to the farmer. He
may, it is true, raise three thou
sand bushels of wheat in a year
and have nom on hand when the
assessor comes around, but the
proceeds realized are not down
in Minneapolis or some other
town beyond the limit of the
county, but right on the farm in
the shape of new machinery,
live stock, new buildings or i'm
provements, all subject to taxa
ton.
All admit that wheat raising
has been, generally speaking,
improbable to the farmers of
South Dakota, taking all the
years of its settlement together,
but the handling of it by the ele-
vator companies has been vastly
profitable, and such profits have
been realized largely by dishon-
est and unfair methods at the
expense of the wheat growers.
Then through careful attention
to our legislators they are. al
ways able to keep tax laws so
they can shift their just share
of taxes to the farmers should
ers.
The only way to make these
elevator companies pay what
they should is to compel them to
pay tax on the amount of bust

Before the break of day.
His mind was blank to earthly things
For in his dreamy state,
He thot he put a lightning rod
Upon the jasper gate.
He seemed to feel the angels wings
Of soft and dOwny fluff.
And showed them how the golden street
Was fine conducting stuff.
Then, wandering down the thorofare.

And sought 10 put a lightning rod,
On Angel Gabriel's crown.
But, oh, his snooze was quickly snoozed,
His vision wentit to smash,
When some one rushed into TIE hall.
And something went kersmash.
An angry man, another one,
A woman in the fray.
A hocus pocus, rumpus row.
To usher in the day.
In frantic haste he donned his pants:
There later was a roar,
When he discovered his mistake
They were hindside before.
But let that be as best it may
There came a deafening knock
Upon his door. His trembling limbs
Refused him with the shock.
o Emma! Come! We fly! We ny!"
A voice cried thru the door.

NO MORE GAS LEGISLATION NEAR.
Commission To Be Appointed Is Expected to
Solve Lighting Problems.

It was said with postiveness by Republican
ganization leaders last night that in call for
an extra session of the legislature Governor Higgins
will make no provision for further consideration Of
the gas problem 1t IS understood the Governor
will make no mention of gas unless Attorney Gen
eraI Mayer should give opinion that the State
Commission had no power to reduce the price of
gas to so cents.
It is said that Attorney General Mayer will sus-
tain the law creating the commission. which will
be appointed in a short time There is indication
vet as to who will be appointed. 1t is said that
one expert gas man, lawyer and possibly a bust
ness man will make up the commission. The name
of Charles z. Hughes is prominently mentioned as
the legal member of the commission. 1t is under
stood that the Governor feels there is no further
need for a prolonged gas fight in the legislature
and that the commission soon after appointment
will carry into effect the provisions Of the gas bill
which defeated.
The Republican leaders argue that such a course
will leave the Democrats in bad position. They
saw that Tammany is now branded with the gas
blight and that the reduction of the price OF gas
bv the commission will bring all credit to the
Republicans. This will make good issue for the
AZ indicated in The Tribune yesterday, the Re
publican leaders have nearly decided to nominate
straight ticket this fall It IS said definitely that
there Will be a Republican at the head of it. It
will be the aim of the Republican leaders they say,
10 nominate a ticket and adopt platform that the
Citizens Union cordially indorse II they Wish
10 indOrSe one.

CALLS GENESIS SYMBOLIC.
Bishop Of Southern Virginia Says 1t
Is Beuor,d Criticism.

THE Bible as History was the subject under
consideration at the Episcopal Church Congress in
Association Hall, Brooklyn, last night. Bishop
Burgess presided
Bishop Alfred M Randolph, of Southern Virginia
who delivered the first paper, said that 1t was
necessary to distinguish between the meaning of
history and the meaning of science The law of
science and of natural history was inadequate to
determine spiritual matters. Much that was
corded in the book Of Genesis occurred before his
tory began. The book Of Genesis was symbolic, and
obvious. therefore. that it was beyond criti-
csm.
The Rev. S. H. Bishop, OF New-York, said that
there was no serious doubt in the minds OF most
men as to the truth Of the Scriptures except to
gpeciic and minor details, and that the laws OF
science could not be applied to spiritual matters
The Bible was not historical in our sense OF the
word but much of it for the purpose Of point
ing a moral or to teach just truth.
The Rev. Henry S. Nash, of the Theological
School at Cambridge, said the Word OF God is lit
erature because is history, that it partakes OF
all the mental processes and illusions OF the times

DREANLAND LIGHTS OUT.
Forty Workmen Caught in Maze in
Panic.

The first trouble with the electric lights at
Dreamland for the season happened last night
shortly after o'clock, when the thousands Of
lights used by the five hundred workmen went
out. The darkness resulted from an overcharge
of electricity, and lasted for more than thirty
minutes.
Forty workmen, mostly foreigners. at work In
the Mirror Maze, were thrown into a panic
when the sudden darkness shut off their way
out. The red emergency lamps were not in posi-
ton, and the laborers feared that accident
had occurred. Many of the men refused to re-
turn TO work when the lights again
turned on.
