Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-04-20

Mayor Emrick is now leading the
Roosevelt republicans of the Black
Hills. and that he will have Penning-
ton county solid behind him in the
state convention, no one who knows
him or the men behind him can doubt
for a moment. Custer and Meade
countries will undoubtedly send En-
rick delegations, and the outcome in
Lawrence is not yet certain, but Mar
tin is not anymore likely to carry
that county than his well organized
opponents, who comprise a powerful
element in Lead and all the old time
republican leaders i'm Deadwood.
Ex-State treasurer Phillips leads the
Roosevelt republicans in Deadwood,
ably assisted by Col. Parker and
Messrs. Mullen, Mum, Baker, Ayres
and other prominent republicans. 1t
certainly looks as if Martin was doom.

A MATTER OF TAXATION
Vast Sums of Money Have Been Illegally Filched From
the People Through differentiation of
Corporation Property.

Corporation Property

ference between Iowa and Lead rates
on coal for the same distance.
Aladdin to Lead, two dollars ton:
same distance in Iowa, fOrty-nine
cents per ton, one fourth what it
costs us. EXhorbitant rates closed
the Hidden Fortune mill.
The board OF assessment and equali-
zation assessed and equaliZed the state
of South Dakota in four days. 1t
probably gave as much as five min
utes to Lawrence county. 1t set
aside the judgment of our assessors,
city councils and county commission
and city realty l2R per cent, thereby
thousands of dollars.
This machine system of robbing
the people is just the same over in
the "cOw Counties as it is in the
Hills, and still we find men who howl
for the corporation machine bosses
and will work for their success at the
May caucuSeS.
The republican party stands for
honesty and for justice to all, it
stands for progressive government
and clean politics, but in this state if
one should judge the party by it's acts
and it's so-called leaders, the verdict
would be "a party owned and man
aged by the Corporations and their
henchmen."
The proud old party name is used
us a cloak to cover up the infamous
methods by which our people were
made to pay about 100000 in taxes
for the railroads in 1905
South Dakota is the worst boss rid
den state in the Union, but the Gay
is near when the corporation agents
will be hurled from power.
The first step will be in the nomi-
nation of Cve l. Crawford for gov
ernOr, the second step will be the
nomination of congressman who will
not be servants of the railroads, and
the third step will be in the election
of members of the legislature who
will re-elect Senator Gamble and give
the people a FS4nary law, an anti
pass law, anA a law covering the
assessment of corporation property.
When these events take place the
people Of South dakota will get a
square deal and not until then.
The actual battle for these reforms
will begin with the election of dele
gates to county conventions on May
Is.
If the tax robbery continues you
will know who to blame.

Canton VS. Sioux Falls.

The following appeared in the Sioux
City Journal of Monday from a Sioux
Falls correspondent:
The young lady members of the
basketball teams of the the Canton
and Sioux Falls high schools are in a
deadlock, with the state champion
ship as the bone of contention. The
Canton girls claim the state cham
pionship because the Sioux Falls girls
decline to go to Canton to play the
deciding game. One game has been
played in each city and each team
team wants to play the deciding game
at home and the Sioux Falls team
also wants to play the deciding game
at home, and neither appears willing
to ''give in" Neither city has any
special claim for the deciding game
being played in their city. Just how
the matter will be adjusted Is not
known, but it is hoped the girls will
settle the controversy without hair
pulling match.
The above item from the Journal
indicates blood on the moon if Sioux
Falls don't have her way. The Can
ton club played the first game with
Sioux Falls at Canton and won. Then
the Canton club played the second
game at Sioux Falls and lost. Game
apiece. The third game should be
played at Canton under the rule. The
only trouble with the Sioux Falls
club is fear of defeat in square
game. The Canton club is entitled
to the championship under the rule,
unless the Sioux Falls team comes
here and wins second game.

The farmers of South Dakota at
the ballot box are all powerful. The
machine. gang say the farmers should
not organize. The farmers of South
Dakota, of every county, have the
votes and the power to smash ring
methods at Pierre and drive out the
corporation tools and make laws that
the people need. The farmers also
have power to send the right kind of
men to Washington-men who would
represent the people instead of help
ing the railroads and coal trust grind
the life out of the people.

This is the year and next month is
the time for the people Of Lincoln
county to lay the foundation for de-
cent state government, as well as the
selection of congressman. No one
doubts where Martin, Burke and Kit
tredge win be found when the cor
porations crack their whip. The peo-
pie of this state would De untrue to
themselves, their state and the PreSi-
dent did they nominate corporation
machine state ticket and send men to
Washington who are railroad attor-
neys and corporation agents. This is
a fact that every man knows. Rail
road attorneys can't be servents of the
people. Railroad attorneys are not
allowed to make laws for the people,
and the people need expect no aid
from such a source.

A candidate for office on the corpOr-
ation-machine ticket is a man who
must submit to corporation orders.
He must do as the machine tells him.
The machine told Gov. Elrod to at
tack the primary law in his message
and he did. The machine told it's
allies in the legislature that they
must not endorse the Presidents rate
regulation measure and they didn't.
The machine fixed the various COM
mittees in the legislature so that the
corporations were protected at the
expense Of the people. When you
support a machine candidate for any
office you must expect to get machine
medicine. Don't ever look for pri-
mary law or any other law in the
interest of square deal If the ma
chine is in power.

Plastic dancing is what Is commonly

correct existing abuses and mannerisms.

Mr.. Duenweg was assured that the
