past it has been reported over the city
in financial and business circles that
the Walsh Bros, who recently disposed
of their gas, electric light and street
railway interests in this city, were con-
templatlng engaging in the banking
business. and would shortly open n
private bank at their old location in
the Franklin building on Brady street.
This store room, so it is understood,
will shortly be vacated by the new own
ers of the various traction and light
companies. The Washes have an eX-
tended lease, lasting a number of years
yet. and it is reported that this will be
the headquarters for the new bank.

Ties on Track.-At attempt to wreck
the Milwaukee train which arrives
here at 9:15 from the north was made
Tuesday night, and but for the timely
discovery of pile of ties which had
been placed on the tracks just east of
the Moline station, the attempt would
have been successful. Moline is the
southern terminus of the train which
starts from Freeport After the usual
stop at the station to let off passen-
gers the engine is run on east to the

street. where it remains over night.
Even had the engine struck the ties
it would probably have been travelling
at such a low rate of speed that very
little damage would have resulted. Of

9be Taxpayers Mast be Masters
Shall the People of this State Longer Submit to
Corporation Domination and Tax Robbery, or Will
They Elect Men Who Will Give them Justice?
THE PEOPLE MUST ANSWER.

ASK every state officer vino respect
ed his manhood, his independence
and his reputation, and some of them
you cannot ask because the corrupt
and braZen machine has driven two of
them to an untimely Mellette
like an old hat. u,-.-
| Every honest member of our recent
legislatures will tell you that the cor
pOratiOns dominated and dictated
legislation in their own interest, Sc
| lected the speaker and dictated the
chairman of each committee, and
furnished members with pockets full
of passes to bring their friends to
! Pierre. The railroads didn't do this
for fun or philanthrophy. They did
it to hush here and there rising
storm of protest at home. They did
it to make them submissive to their
cunningly prepared schemes to skin
the people and fatten the railroad
treasury, and how well they pulled
the wool over the eyes of the law
makers SO far, the tax receipt of every
farmer and business man will tell.
| 1t fills one with indignation to
learn how much the farmers and busi-
ness men of this state have been rob-
bed of by the infamous system of un-
LIBERALIZATION of all corporation
property and the generalization Of
farms, farm property and merchan-
disc, and who is responsible for this
robbery? Ask tile corporation agents,
machine bosses. and the men who are
known or terrr.d the republican or
ganiZation of this state. They alone
are responsible stSr this crime, for it
IS no less a crime to rob in this man
ner than it is TO hold fellow up at
the muzzle of a gun. The men who
compose the republican organization
are responsible for this infamy, we
call it by the right name.
The poor homesteader, the struggl-
ing businessman, the man with a
team and a couple of COWS, the man
who owns his little cottage, and
works by the day, the man who rents
a farm, all are Systematically rob-
bed to pay the vast amount of money
the machine gang has cut from cor
poration taxes. Railroads are taxed
on this side of the Missouri at about
l0per cent while the farmers COW is
taxed at about so per cent. In the
Black Hills the railroads pay little or
no taxes. 1t takes SO much money to
run the state, and tAe poor devil who
has house, a hc-ne or COW has to
put up his shsr of what the corpora
tions ought to p.sy in taxes but don't.

$3.50 PER ANNUnr.

The machine bosses and postmaster
editors tell us the people are salts
| fed with conditions as they are,
which means tax robbery and legis-
lative contempt for their rights.
Why are the people organizing In
every county to destroy the Kittredge
machine without hope OF reward.
Why do we find nearly every farm
er in Lincoln county active In his op
position to the machinep Why do
we find SO many business men every
where bitterly opposed to the Kit
tredge system of politics. Their tax
receipt tells the story. They know
they are being skinned that the cor
porations may escape just rate OF
taxation.
Why do the people flock to hear Mr..
Crawford wherever he speaks? They
love to hear him denounce conditions
under which they suffer and point
out way for relief.
Why are the farmers organizing all
over the state? They realize that or
ganization is all that is left them II
if they hope to preserve their homes
and farms. They must become mas
ters instead of servants. Why should
the farmers of this state longer sub
NIT to boss dictation and corporations
which brings upon them the charge
of Indifference to their own welfare?
The farmers and business men should
be masters in all matters that pertain
to legislation and taxation, and it Is
now evident that the plundered peO-
pie of this state will nominate and
elect men to Office from congressman
down who will look after their inter-
ests instead of trusts and corpora
tions. 1t is indeed time, and just
why the people have neglected their
own interests so long seems a lnys-
terry.
Let us begin with the election Of
Mr.. Crawford for governor, and let us
send men to congress who are pledged
to look after the interests Of the pro-
ducer instead Of the railroads and the
day will soon come when a petition
of the people will not be trampled
upon at Pierre.
1t is up to the farmer and business
man TO settle this question. They
have the power I to @ pro protect themselves
and sweep from spower those who
have been their oppressors.
The people will soon be called upon
to decide this great issue. Shall they
be active enough and patriotic enough
SO defend their rights by organization
! in every county in the state and thus
send men to the state convention who
will nominate state officers from
whom we shall get a square deal, or
| will they neglect their own interests
and allow the hired bosses and c0rpOr-
alton agents to continue their game
Of plumber.
| Arouse and prepare for action. the
battle is near Let it not he said that
the republicans of South Dakota are.
less patriotic than those Of the great
states from whence a Mckinley and q
LaFollette came.
Organize and work and the victory
will be Crawford and Justice TO ali.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-03-30

The American people wiil-suifer i'll
tolerable conditions longer than any
other law abiding people on earth be-
fore they rise in their might and sweep
the cause of their troubles from power
or place.
Think you for moment that the
people OF England, Germany, France
or Scandinavia would have suffered
from trusts and corporation dictation
as long as the American people have
withouta protest that would have put
them where they belong? Even the
ignorant masses of Russia face the
cannon's mouth for political inde-
pendence and the right to local con-
troll of their own affairs.
The power and freedom of the
American citizen makes him the least
suspicious of corrupt domination be-
cause he knows his power when he
wants to assert it, and he seldom as
serts this power until conditions be-
come intolerable, then his silence be-
comes a whirlwind of indignation.
Take for instance the popular upris-
ing in New York, in Philadelphia, in
Pennsylvania, in Pittsburg, in Ohio,
in Wisconsin, in Minnesota and in
Nebraska, and we see what an out
ragged people will do when their rights
have been trampled upon, and a
mighty struggle is going on in Iowa
between the people on one side and
the corporation trust combination on
the other. ...
The corporations who thought they
owned Minnesota were able to put up
a machine corporation man for gov
ernor by throwing out the entire dele
CATION from Minneapolis and ,Henne-
pin county. The republicans of the
state rose almost enmaSse> and literal
| ly trampled their own candidate
under their feet and elected demo-
cfat.
The republicans of grand old Ohio
did the same thing with a corrupt
republican machine boss-they elect
ed the entire republican state ticket
| with the exception of governor whom
they turned down for an honest dem
ocrat.
This is what the American people
do when conditions become odious to
all honest men.
The republicans of South Dakota
are no less loyal to party or principle
than those of MINI esota or Ohio, and
they are called upon to do little
house cleaning too. Conditions were
no rottener in Ohio or Minnesota than
they are in this fair young state, and
why is this so?

a member of the legislature since

and he did and his action in this mat
ter is without precedent in the his
tory of any state. He only obeyed
the orders of those who nominated
him. That was evidence of the pow
er and purpose of the machine to
deny the people their rights under
the constitution, to deny them their
right to select their representatives
beyond the manipulation of the boss
es and ringSters. Corruptionists fear
the power of the people in an open
ballot, but our people are more deter
mined than ever to secure that right
and the next legislature will be COM
posed of men who will give Us pri-
mary law without u petition.
Think of it you farmers and bust
ness men of this state, ten to one in
mum berS as compared with those who
are allied with the machine for a
mercenary purpose. Think of your
positions as wealth producers and tax
payers, then think of your position as
masters and not servants, and ask
yourselves why you have allowed this
tax robbery and corporate dictation
to continue until your demands are
spit upon at Pierre 10y gang OF men
who represent the corporations.
Could free people suffer greater
humiliation than this?
In answer to this just demand of
ln re
howl about republicanism. God for
bid that the grand old party shall
ever represent anything but justice,
but there is no republicanism in cor
poration methods or machine politics.
President Roosevelt and his great
secretary of war, Taft, have written
letters to the Roosevelt republican
club of Cincinnati how to fight and
destroy machine politicians. Every
republican who is not owned by a
machine boss, every sincere repnbli-
can who reveres the name of Lincoln,
is in duty bound to fight corruption
in his own party or in any party; in
duty bound to destroy the enemies Of
good government, the enemies Of
true republicanism, the enemies and
robbers of the helpless but honest
masses.
1t is for justice and square deal
that we plead, it is for the rights of
the farmer and laborer and business
man that we plead, it is for decent
government and the destruction of
the boss system that we plead, it is
for the rights of voters that we
plead; it is foy g election OF Mr..
Crawford that e.e plead, and for the
election of men to Office who will rep
resent the people and not the corpor-
ations, that we labor, and our efforts
will not cease until the people get
justice.
We have Doodle and corrupt men to
meet, men like Martin who buy their
way to power but we have unbound
ed faith in the honesty and integrity
and determination of the republicans
of this state to do what the good re-
publicans did in Ohio, Wisconsin and
Minnesota.

roads-the Burlington and North
western-own 5000, 900 worth of prop
erty and pay less than 81 900 in taxes.
Just figure out what per cent $1,000 is
on eight million, and you can easily
understand why the Northwestern
railroad keeps Mr.. Martin in it's en-
ploy, and why the railroads are SO
anxious to run things at Pierre, and
why Berg was turned down, the effect
of which killed him, and Elrod nomi-
mated instead by Alex Johnson, the
Minnesota agent OF the Northwest
ern.
The socalled republican organiza-
tion is responsible for all this Unjust
ice to the people and they dare not
even discuss these questions in their
hired press.
The machine papers will publish
private letters and howl about party
but none dare deny this terrible ar
raignment, or attempt to defend this
socalled "virtuous" body known as
Kits little organization.
There are men who know all about
this systematic robbery of the tax
payers who are stoutly shouting for
the machine, and we have a few
even in good old Lincoln, but thank
God their number is small and grow
ing smaller. Some men would rather
serve rotten machine than the
Lord, and when one considers the
conditions and the temptations the
machine holds out he has no reason
to doubt the literal existence of a
devil. ~
Do you wonder dear reader at the
rising wrath of the people?
Do you wonder at the uprising all
over the state which means an over
turning of the gang who pose as re-
publican bosses.
Congratulate the farmer and busi-
ness man who has quietly resolved to
do as the good republicans of Mime
sofa and Ohio did, or the republicans
Of Pennsylvania did when they clean
ed out the rottenest republican ma
chine in the country. The great state
of Pennsylvania gave President Roose-
velt five hundred Thousand republican
majority and turned down a republi-
can candidate for state treasurer, be-
cause The treasury had been used as
robbers roost. After this upheayaI
several machine banks went broke
and two bank officials committed
suicide. That's the logical end of
men who become involved in corrupt
politics and serve as machine tools
until the bottom drops out.
Why are the taxpayers Of South
Dakota up in arms against the So
called machine? Taxation without
representation might be advanced as
the real cause, because the machine
through the aid of corporations has
managed TO elect men to the legisla-
ture who have served the corporations
and betrayed the wealth producers of
the state. This all men know to be
true. The present state machine
through aid furnished by the corpora
tions has nominated and elected every
Estate ticket since statehood witt, one
