More About the Irvine plant.

The Argus Leader has received a
very touching letter from the editor
of Farm Implements. a trade paper
published at Minneapolis, urging this
paper to open up a fight on the pro-
position to vote a tax of one and me-
half mills at the coming election to
provide the capital necessary for the
establishment of a Irvine plant at the
state prison. Many interesting and
.specious arguments are put forth
against the among which
are the fact that the shirt factory is
now paying a nice profit, that there
are not enough inmates of the prison
to work both, that the state must
capitol, and that the state agricul-
tural college at Brookings needs a
large appropriation to put it where it
can properly fill its field.
South Dakota is not worrying, how
ever, about the burden on the tax
payers to raise the money necessary
to operate the plant. II the people
were satisfied that the plant could be
made a success they would vote the
the tax with very little opposition.
Mr.. Pryor, the editor of Farm Imple-
ments seems to clear up this question.
In arguing against the establishment
of the plant here he says:
"The merchants of Minnesota lost
4 II SO - a. -. f1nnRAH Ivy NaoN ~ Nl0 NHsH
nesOta Irvine plant the profits on the
Irvine. AT an average price of 10
cents per pound that amount meant
a gross business of 81, $50, 900. AT a
profit of 20 per cent, the merchants
of Minnesota lost $3.50, 600 in profits on
the Irvine trade"
If the merchants of Minnesota
''lost" a quarter of a million dollars
this year, some one must have made
it. Was it the farmers who bought
the Irvine? Or was it the state of
Minnesota? If the farmers made it
then manifestly the Irvine plant was
a mighty good thing for the twine-
buying farmers Of the state. If the
state made it, the plant was mani
testify a fine thing for the taxpayers.
Our friend makes out a good argu-
ment from the point of view from the
who has Irvine to sell; but he
doesn't make out so good a cas from
Of the state or of the buy
er, and the taxpayers aud Irvine buy
ers in this state are numerous enough
to carry the tax.
s'The Irvine business in Minnesota
has been ruined by the Irvine plant"
writes Mr.. Pryor. VERY little binder
Irvine business remains" he declares.
II this be true, 1t must follow that
the state plant Is supplying the mar
ket at a lower price than it was be-
fore compelled to pay, and this means

School Notes.

The Art Exhibit being held this
week in Mrs. Fowler's Building on
Main street is a marked success in
every way. Many are taking quite an
interest in learning the pictures by
name. 1t is proving quite an educa-
tional event and promises to be sue
cessful financially as we'll.
The Parker high school foot ball
team will be here Friday p. m. for a
return game of football. Though
they won at Parker in a close and
fast game, our boys have high hopes
of turning the tables on them Friday.
They will play ten per cent better if
a good crowd is out to cheer them on.
The following letter was received
this week: Oct. "a, 1906.
Supt. E. G. WOODBURY.,
Canton, S. D.
My dear sir;-Enclosed please find
receipt for 81, the contribution of the
Canton City Schools to the San Fran
cisco Reconstruction Fund.
The wonderful outpouring of SYM
pathy for San Francisco in her dis
tress Is evidenced by your contribu-
tion, added to many others of like
character, is so deeply appreciated by
us that it is impossible to give ade-
quate expression of our gratitude. l
trust you will express to all concerned
in this particular gift our most heart
felt thanks. Very sincerely yours,
Alfred Roncovuri,
Supt. Schools.
Miss Rudolph substituted for Miss
Conklin Monday morning, and a
patch of plastering fell down in cele-
bration of her return to the high
school. Miss Conklin visited her
sister at the IN" at Vermillion over
Sunday returning Monday noon.
This week closes the first quarter,
and the high school report cards will
be out next week. These should be
carefully inspected by every parent,
as they indicate the kind of start the
pupils are getting.

Attention

Do you know that the assessed
valuation of your farms has been
increased during the last ter years,
ten times as much as the railroads
running through them in this oun
ty have been? Do you know of any
substantial reason why the assessed
value of farming lands in this county,
should during that period, nave
been increased so much more
than the railroads running through
them? Do you think it just that
your property should be increased so
much more for the purpose of taxa
tion than that of a railroad corpora
ton? Don't you think that the
property Of the railroads have shared
in the general prosperity of the
county just a. much, and the value
Of it's property increased the same as
yours. Their bonds and stock have
nearly trebled during this same
period. With this increase in railraOd
values do you know any good reason
why it's assessment should not have
increased in the same proportion as
yours? If it is not so assessed has it
ever occurred to you why it is not?
Don't you think that such unfair
methods Of assessment might, and
ought to be corrected? Here are the
figures taken from the records. In
1896 the railroad in Canton Twp.
was assessed at S5.575, per mile, that
of farming lands at 81, POO, per quarter.
In 1906 the railroad in Canton Town
ship was assessed at $6,O76 per mile,
only 1901 dollars per mile Of ar in
crease or a trifle over eight per cent.
While farming lands in Canton
Township were assessed for the year
1906, at $4,000 per quarter, an increase
of a $1,000 per quarter or a tritle over
eighty three per cent! Do you con-
slider this a square deal? DO you
know of any good reason why such in
equality of assessed valuation should
exist, or such favoritism be shown to
the railroads?
Do you know of any good reason
why between three and four miles of
side track in the county should not
be assessed the same as the main line
as is done in other states which would
give Canton in taxes $3.50. Hudson
about half as much other towns their
proportion.
| know Of no reason save that the
railroad has so interested itself in
shaping legislation so Is to make this
condition possible, and then obtained
the possible. Do you know any other
reason? What have our represen-
tatives been doing meanwhile. These
facts are matters Of public record
open to all, which they must have
known, or at least easily. could have
known. Only two conclusions can be
be drawn. They were either indiffer-
ent to your welfare, or wiilfully neg
lected to attend to it. If l am favor
ed by your vote 1 will be elected. If
elected | will do all in my power to
correct this wrong and give you a
square deal in the matter of taxation.
Did it ever occur to you that one
whose occupation has been the same
as yours all his life might, and prob
ably would have a keener interest in
your welfare than a man whose life
occupation has been along other lines?
This seems probable to me and l be-
lieve that it will appeal to you.
Very truly,
G.. A. South.

Irvine Trust Impudence.

The editor of Farm Implements, a
trust organ publisher at Minneapolis
has the im~pudence to mail a lot of
trust rot in circular shape to the
South Dakota editors warning them
against the danger of establishing a
penitentiary Irvine plant, bee ause 1t
will be too expensive for the people
and taxpayers will be robbed. and a
whole lot more impudent gush from
this tool OF one OF the robber trusts
that plumbers the farmer when he is
compelled to buy Irvine.
The very fact that the Irvine trust
is opposing the establishment OF a
state Irvine plant is the best reason
In the world why our people should
work and vote for the proposed tax.
The Minnesota Irvine plant has al
most made the pen self supporting
besides saving half a million to the
farmers OF the state, and practically
cleaned out the Irvine trust robbers
In that state. The men who sell the
Irvine trust Irvine at retail make
little or nothing out OF the business,
the trust makes all there Is to be
made but when the trust is likely to
be hit hard 1t squeals and calls for
help from those whom it has skinned
for years.
The circular letter sent out by the
editor OF Farm Implements contains
glaring %lasehoods and is written for
the purpose Of deceiving.
This trust tool says. 1.-THE Irvine
business In Minnesota has been ruin
ed by the prison plant" The way
the Irvine business has been ruined
means that the farmers bought their
Irvine cheaper and the prison plant
made big money for the taxpayers
and the Irvine trust sold no Irvine.
This trust tool tries to make one
believe that every dry goods and
grocery store in South Dakota has
been making money by selling Irvine,
and the loss to them will be fearful II
q prison Irvine plant is started at the
pen.
The trust lobby that held the
South Dakota legislature by the
throat since statehood is out of bust
ness at last. The people are in the
saddle and propose to stay there.
The trust tools and machine tools
worked in harmony and divided the
profits of their infamy.
s C1rnO <0,n <~,,c< tOhh,, Inc hocr o,,N
out of business at Pierre the trust pro-
moters have adopted the plan of
sending out their false and mislead-
ing trash in circular form and thus
they hope to fool the people a little
longer.
II Is surprising to note the deep
interest taken in the welfare of our
people by this Irvine trust promoter
st this time. When the trusts OPP
pose q measure demanded by the peo-
pie it is time the people we're getting
ready to do business for themselves.
Every voter In this state, every tax
payer In this state, and every BUSH
ness man In this state will be a gain
or by the defeat OF a trust that has
made the farmers dance when they
played the trust fiddle.
Vote for the Irvine plant.
Urge your friends to vote for the
twine plant.
Whenever you can hit a robber
trust hit II hard and a vote for cheap
or Irvine Is a body blow for the
trust.
