may not produce more bushels to the
acre, but how about the net returns?
The prices of farm products are what
govern the value of land. Thousands
of men are coming into this state to
buy land. Do they expect to buy it
at a valuation placed upon it during
1896 when it produced as many bush
els to the acre as it has the past few
years, but when the prices of products
were not more than a halfand in some
instances a third of what they are to-
day? Not at all. 1t is the returns
the lands will bring that creates a de-
mand for it.
On the other hand, how much was
bank stock worth during those years
of depressed prices? Banks were go,
ing to the wall on every hand. If a
man had let it be known that he
would pay cash for bank stock he
could have bought it by the wagon
load. 1t wasn't "too good a thing to
SELF in those days.
Again, bank stock does not raise in
value in advance of the value of the
property and industries of the COM
munity from which it draws its bust
ness.
Reduce the value of land and it's
products to what they were prior to
the advance which began about seven
years ago and the banker could not
give his stock away. The land, how
ever, would produce the same number
of bushels to the acre. The product
iveness of the land and of the bank
stock is what governs the value of
each. And no fair minded man will
claim that bank stock should be as
sessed at a higher figure than its ac-
tual value would be assessed for if it
were invested in farm lands or any
other property. That bank stock was
assessed outrageously high a few
years ago as compared with farm
lands is no reason why it should be
continued.
The proposition that the assessment
of the farm should not be increased
as it increases in value simply because
a man don't want to sell the farm is
unique, to say the least. If a man
owning bank stock or any other prop
erty, should want to keep it, why not
reduce the assessment, or if he want
ed to keep it for life, why not exempt
it from assessment entirely?
The only ~"moonshine' we can see
about this assessment proposition is
the attempt to prejudice farmers
against the administration because
farm land is assessed in the same
proportion as bank stock.

THERE was a rumor ahoat last week
that an attempt would be made be-
tween the leaders of the two factions
of the republican party to reach a
compromise. We are not in a position
to deny or affirm the report, but it is
our judgment that, even if it was de-
sired, no such compromise could be
affected. Think what a hot mess it
would make. The editor of the INDIE
PENDENT might possibly be able to
swallow Kit, the Panama canal essay
and the whole blamed works, but
think of Dick Halliday, of the Iro-
quois Chief, swallowing Crawford and
Shober. Nay, nay, Pauline, one side
may be afraid and the other lack
sand, but they will have to get into
the ring when the gong sounds.

MOONSHINE

The talk of land being more valua-
BILE than a few years ago is all moon
shine when worked of on the assess
ment proposition-for farmers who
want to hold their lands, as they will
raise no more crops. Is bank stock
any less valuable than it vast Try to
buy some and see. A good share of
the bank stock of the state is not for
sale. It's too good a thing.-Aber-
deem News.
The above is a fair illustration of
the unfairness of the machine press in
its attempt to create a prejudice
against the republican administration
in this state.

farm being more valuablei True, II

crisis of the period will fall on the
Goth and 21st in all the central parts
of the country. Rain and wind, with
lightning and thunder will attend the
first stage of these storms, but change
to cool, autumnal rain, with snow pos
sible in the north and west, will result
on the north and west TANKS of storm
areas, all followed by very cool nights
and frosts, reaching we'll to the south
ward.
\ reaction storm period is central
on the 25th, 18th and 9th, and falls
within the brace of the Mercury dis
turbances. 1t will bring a period of
mistiness and thick, prolonged cloud
mess that will hardly break away
during the remainder of the month.
Some early sleet to the n%orthward will
be reported before the close Of the
Mercury period which is central on
the 31st and extends into November.
A regular storm period begins on
the 18th, is central on the 3lst, ex-
tending to November Bird. As Octo-
Der comes to its close the barometer
will indicate the approach of positive
and general storm conditions from
western sections. From about the
3lst. to November Bird, autumnal rains
will take up their march from west
to east, touching most parts of the
country, and being followed from west
to north by rising barometer, change
to cold, westerly winds, with early
snow and sleet to the northward.

The Argus-Leader has worked it.
self up until it is black in the face
over the fact that the state board re.
duced the valuation of bank stock
from 60 cents on the dollar to 40 cents
on the dollar. We would like to ask
the Argus-Leade one question: Is not
the present valuation of bank stock
a fair valuation as compared with the
valuation of farm lands? The AL.
claims bank stock is worth more than
its face value as a whole. For the
sake of argument we might admit
that it is worth, taken as a whole
throughout the state, from $50 to 200
cents on the dollar; we will say 200
cents on the dollar, if you please. At
that figure, which is too high, it is as
sessed at one-ffth its value. Kings
bury county farm lands are assessed
at an average of 500 an acre, which
is less than one-fifth of it's selling
value to-day. The average farm in
Kingsbmy county cannot be bought
to-day for $500 dollars per acre, or
one-fifth its assessed valuation. Will
the Argus Leader answer the question:
Is not the present valuation of bank
-.
stock a fair valuation as compared
with the valuation of farm lands?

HICKS FOR OCTOBER.

reactionary storm period is central
on the End, 3rd, and 4th. The combin-
ed force on Earth and Venus continues
to near the middle of this month. The
Jupiter and Saturn lines are also re-
minders that the whole year is covered
by these great perturbing equinoxes.
On and touching Wednesday, the End,
to Friday the 4th. return to storm con
ditions will be noted, in falling baro-
meter, change to warmer, bringing
cloudiness and autumnal rains pro-
gressively over the country. Only
moderate change of barometer and
temperature will follow this period.
A regular storm period is central on
the Sth, covering the 7th to the 18th.
The new Moon falls on the celestial
equator on the 7th. This fact will pre-.
cipitate storm conditions at the begin
ming of this period. Low barometer
very warm for the season and general
storms of thunder, wind and rain will
set in about the It'll in the west, and
during the Sth, 9th, and 10th tLese
storms will take wide paths in their
eastward sweep across the country.
People along the gulf and Atlantic
coasts, also the Pacific, should not for
get that equinoctial storms are very
probable about this period. There will
be wisdom in keeping storm and
weather eyes wide open on and about
the great lakes at the windup of this
period. High barometer from the
northwest will push severe to danger
Gus gales over the lake regions, all to
to be followed by marked change to
colder, bringing frost to much of the
country, central and northward, from
about the 9th to 18th.
A reactionary storm period will cul-
inmate on and touching the 18th and
10Th. In fact, the causes are such
that threatening conditions, with au-
tumnal rains, may continue from the
preceding period, the 7th TO 18th,
ending in a secondary elimination or
crisis on the 18th and 18th. Much of
the country will experience very cool
days and frosty nights not far from
the 18th to the 18th.
The fourth storm period covers the
18th to 22nd, and promises to bring
very decided autumnal storms. Early
in the period, in western extremes
falling barometer will announce APP
preaching storm conditions. BY the
10th. cloudiness and rain will appear,
and from Sunday, the 10th, to Tues
day the 22nd, storm areas will make
their transit across the country. The

The Argus. Leader has had another
spasm owe the law passed last win
ter allowing mutual insurance com
panies to make their bylaws a part
of the policy issued to the insured. 1t
says it was done in the interests of
Shoher and Packard. As these men
are simply salaried officers of mutual
concerns, it is hard for us to see how
these bold bad men can profit individ-
ually by that or any other law which
does not raise their salary. If the
mutual company profits by any law
every member, policy holder, profits
in proportion to the amount of insur,
ance he carries. Neither Shober nor
Pacard could profit two cents by that
or any law which did not profit every
policy holder in their respective COM
panies.

The rumor afoat in Sioux Falls
that Senator Kittredge is offering to
sell his interest in the Argus Leader
has given rise to the further rumor
that the senator contemplates pulling
out of the senatorial race. All things
are possible in politics, but by no
means probable, and we very much
doubt if there is sufficient truth back
of the rumor to warrant even a suspi-
cion in that direction. Kittredge can
better afford to stay in the campaign
and be beaten than to quit without a
struggle. To be beaten in a political
fights not always to be killed off for
all time, but to be a gutter in the
heat of battle is to give up all hopes
for the future. There are many things
about Kittredge as a politician and a
senator that the INDEPENDENT does
not like, but as a fighter we admire
him in some ways.

DEATH SENTENCE AFFIRMED

lord" Darlington Loses. Appeal to
Highest Court. ....
Washington, April 23.-In an opin-
ion by Chief Justice Fuller the SUI
preme court of the United States dis
missed the criminal case Of Frederick
Seymour, alias Lord Darlington, I'm.
der sentence Of death in st. Louis on
the charge Of numbering James P.
Mccain in the outskirts of that city
in June, 1905, in effect affirming the
decision of the supreme court Of Mis-
souri, and thus sustaining the verdict
Of guilty returned by the trial court.
The case has been before the public
for several years and has attracted
much attention, largely because Of
BarringtOn's pretense of bearing an
English title, under which, shortly be-
fore the tragedy with which his name
is connected, he married a young lady
of good family residing in Kansas
City. Darlington made vigorous fight
in the St. Louis courts, contending
that his conviction was due to preju-
dice and that the charge was not sus-
tanned by proof. When the Missouri
supreme court decided against him he
brought the case to the federal SUI
preme court on writ of error, con-
tending that his trial had not been
fair
