South Dakota's Finances.

Sioux City Journal If the opening
the list of states burdened with bonded
debt it will be the fault Of the creditors,
not the debtor State Treasurer Collins
has just called in the outstanding bal
ance Of the 10000 bond issue negotiated
to reimburse the school fund for the
Taylor defalcation. The balance amounts
to $50, 900, and its liquidation cleans up
dead horse" transaction of unpleasant
memory. With these bonds out of the
way the aggregate of the states bonded
debt is reduced to 1887 000 Ofthis 1884,
500 is due May /, 1907, and Sl52,500 ma
lures May J., 1909. There is now in the
bond sinking fund about 100000 avail
able TO take up the unmatured bonds.
BY January l, 1906, the sinking fund
will be plethoric enough to cover all out
standing bonds. The treasurer will make
an effort to have the holders surrender
the bonds in advance of maturity. If
this can be done South Dakota's bonded
debt may be wiped out within the year.
If as it is not likely, some of the bond
holders shall prefer to hold on to so sat
isfactory an investment the state must
continue to pay interest on some of the
bonds for four years to come. The
money will be in the treasury for the
payment of these bonds at any time the
owners may care to surrender them, and
to all intents and purpose South Dakota
may be included in the class Of debtless
states after the close Of the present year.
South Dakota is not only about to get
rid of its bond incubus but is looking
forward confidently to losing the worri.
ment caused by the recent failure four
rent revenues to meet current expenses.
While no new revenue legislation of a
radical nature was enacted by the late
legislature the new assessment laws are
giving promise of fexcellent results. One
law requires the various county auditors
to meet at the capital in the spring and
agree upon a uniform assessment of per-
sonal property throughout the states,
At the recent meeting at Pierre only one
county was sunrepresented. In consulta-
ton with the state equalization board
the county auditors agreed upon a sche'
dule of assessment for all classes of per-
sonai property, the valuation to be uni
form in all counties. Particular atteu-
ton was directed to another new law
giving county equalization boards the

right to 60 behind the returns Of the as.
SCISSORS and call for the assessment ofany
personal property which may have been
omitted from the rolls as returned by
the assessors. The state board urged
that strict observance of this statute
on the part of the county equalization
boards would result in general increase
in the amount of personal property list
ed for taxation. Dereliction of duty
may be corrected by the state board.
Both of these laws were enacted In re-.
sponse to Gov. Elrod's plea for a stricter
enforcement of existing assessment reg
ulations would do away with the neces-
sity for devising a new revenue system.
1t is expected that after the assessment
has been completed under the new regu.
lations material and permanent in
crease in state revenues will have been
provided.
An inheritance tax law, also adopted
by the late legislature, is expected to
produce considerable new revenue each
year. The amount to be secured from
this source cannot readily be estimated
In the course of another year South
Dakota will either have her bonded debt
paid off or have the cash in the treasury
to pay it, and will also have revenues
enough in sight to meet ordinary ex-
penditures This is as it should be
The state, although young, is enjoying
the healthiest of commercial and indus
trial prosperity, and there is no reason
why the public finances should not re
fleet the condition of private business.

Asst. PostmIstress in Trouble.

A special from Sioux Falls, under date
of the Sth, says that Sadie C. Ford, as
sistant postmistress at Hill City, in the
Black Hills, had three indictments re-
turned against her for alleged violations
Of the rules governing the postal sys-
tenn. One of the indictments charges
her with having mailed an Objectionable
letter to G. +. McEachron, of Hill City,
on January the 9th of the present year.
The first and second counts of the
second indictment allege that on Febru-
airy 49, 1905, she opened letter directed
to G. +. McEachron, and that on Febru-
airy g, 1905, she opened another letter
directed to the same man. Count three
of the indictment alleges that on Febru-
ary 2, 1905, she opened letter address.

The third Indictment against the assis-
tant postmistress charges that on Janu-
airy p, 1905, she caused to be used In the
pre- payment of postage cent postage
stamp which already had been used
The trial Of the case promises to be the
most sensational in the history Of the
United States court Of South Dakota.
The case will come up for trial during
a term of United States court to be held
at DCadwood next month.
