Watertown, s. D., Nov. 5.--Deuel county,
South Dakota, is one Of the few counties Of tho
state which for the past six years has commit
ted the superintendency of its public schools to
been satisfied with the results of its experiment
that 1t will return by Unanimous vote on cleo
tion day Nov. s, Miss Rosa G.. Moan to that
Office. " 81" .
Miss Moan was elected to the superintendency
of the Deuel. county schools two years ago sue
ceeding q lady who held the position four years
prior to her incumbency. She was nominated
by the democratic party against man on the
republican ticket, and altho~- the county was
overwhelmingly republican, she won the election.
This year she was asked to become the repuh-
lican candidate for her second term, but she
refused. saying that inasmuch as her first sue
cess was due to the democrats she would prefer
to be a gain the candidate Of that party.
She was therefore nominated BY the democrats,
and the republicans, in Difference to her popu-
lartty and. success. left the position on their
ticket blank as to the superintendent's office.
Miss Moan Is In many ways an extraordinary
woman. She was born In Iowa, but came to
Deuel. county when only years of age, in the
year 1878. Her father passed away when she
was but years old, and her mother twelve
years later long before her education was COM
pleted. There were no schools in the county to
be attended when she was girl, and hence her
first lessons were received at home. After the
death of her mother she worked her way thru
the Watertown high school and later thru the
Lutheran normal at Sioux Falls. She then taught
school for several terms, constantly studying
until she was able to pass as'splendid examina-
ton for hve.year state certificate
She takes great interest in the Deuel. county
public schools, and is an ardent advocate of the
centralized school represented by the excellently
equipped school now operating in Clear Lake.
She exercises eternal vigilance in keeping after
school officers and urging them to keep up
buildings, become conversant with school laws
and generally keep up the standard, Of the dis
trfct schools.

The Tax Amendment,

TO the Editor Of The Journal. ....'.
Will you permit me to reply TO-. Mr..
Harris criticism Of my letter published
in Fridays issue Of r he Journ a l?
Mr., Harris specific complaint is that
our law has been improperly admins
tered here, that Minneapolis has been
over-valued thru which we have: been
OF the state taxes, which is absolutely
true; that: an excessive amount of
money has been spent in taxation, and
that an excessive valuation has been
made for. the purpose of increasing our
bond limit. He is not open enough; to
state his real reasons, His objections
do not pertain to the law itself, but to
it's administration. In other parts Of
Minnesota such general dissatisfaction
does not exist because the law is ap-
piled practically uniformly over the
What reason would we have for sup
posing that our administration under
more complicated laws from which all
equality, uniformity and equity is elm
mated would be administered different
from what we have had in the paste How
would the change in the law correct
the errors Of administration? The law
ls based on the only fair, general basis
excepting as to the, methods devised
and employed for its administrator:
all Of which can be corrected to what
ever extent that just tax laws can be
made without any such sweeping away
OF. all foundations Of the rights Of the
citizen. :. -
Mr.. Harris, after charging me with
lack Of. faith in trusting the legislature
to an unlimited extent. which he ex-
presses g. perfect willingness to do.
turns around and says that it would
not be necessary to trust the legisla-
ture, because this amendment does
actually conserve. the principles Of
equity and justice,' and that I am
mistaken as to It's being a Wide.open
tax amendment. $arTSSl1
/ Now, AIr. Harris, why talll in The. Tie
manner Of neutrality-suspicious. and GEN
eralitiess On the contrary, this amend
ment is Intentionally absolutely free
from all limitations as to taxation to
unfairness and inequitable tax laws are
desired by the legislature. The only
expression of limitation Is that Of ssuni.
formity as to the same class Of sub
jects. A subject may be property.
person, class, an occupation, or it
may refer to anything whatever Of the
subdivisions that would enable tax
laws to apply to, property of different
kinds in different proportions. at diff
ferent rates, practically eliminating
personal property as is intended. as the
main consideration in advocating this
law is to put upon, real estate and
public utility corporations practically
all the expense of government.
Mr.. Harris property is mostly per-
sonal, he Is in Competitive business.

A Question Of Taxation.

To the Editor Of The Journal.
While serving in: the legislature Of
1889, became convinced of the neces-
sity Of a change in our tax methods in
order that tax burdens might be more
equitably distributed. For the purpose
first bill providing for the appointment
of a tax commission, and also attempted
by legislation to secure q state board
OF equalization appointed in q more
equitable manner. Inasmuch as I was
one aof the first to appreciate: the neees-
sitY5 for improved' methods Of taxation,
it cannot be said that I am reactionarY,
and on that account that my arguments
are not entitled to Considerations. pt
It may be stated as g. general propo-
sition that q property tax is the meth
union as a means of raising revenue.
The real" promoters Of the proposed tax
amendment have not shown their hand :,
but the fact Is that it is contemplated,
it this amendment passes, to raise the
revenues Of this state by tax upon
land, a tax upon franchises, an inher-
itance tax, a mortgage-registration tax
(another form of. land tax), and, ulti-
mately, an income tax. It will be OBJ
is mentioned above, and the advocates
Of the tax amendment do not hesitate
to state that it is their hope and ex-
pectation to entirely eliminate personal
property taxes.
Of: the above proposed subject Of
taxation, real estate would in the fu-
ture,s as in the past, be compelled to
bear the major part Of the burden; in
stead Of decreasing the burden, it
would, without question, increase it.
Personal property now pays about one
third Of the tax. A tax upon incomes
is so remote that if the personal prop
erty tax be eliminated, it will practically
reduce us to a land or single tax. Do
the property owners of this state want
that form Of taxationg If their proper
ty was income bearing, it would not be
Of material Importance, but any form
Of taxation which will increase the
burden Of home owning must certainly
be obnoxious to our people. What is
needed is an amendment to the consti-
tuition permitting the legislature to fix
a specific tax upon credits, and then
to insist upon a. rigid enforcement of
existing tax laws compelling returns
under oath on the part Of each tax
payer. III This should be accompanied by
a properly constituted tax commission
with broad powers. =
