WITH the farm lands of the state
raised thirty-four million, and the
goods and merchandise raised in pro-
portion, the paltry three and three
quarters million dollars raise in the
assessment of railroads looks like a
joke to the farmers and merchants of
the state Brookings Press.
There seems to be a concerted and
systematic attempt on the part of the
machine organs to deceive the people
as to the matter of taxation under the
new administration. The above para
graph from the Brookings Press is
only one of the many items of that
nature published by the machine edi
tors. The purpose of these items is
to deceive the voters of the state, to
make them believe that the present
administration has been, and intends
to be, extravagant 1t may be fact
that the total value of farm lands has
been increased thirtyfour millions
over the total valuation of a year ago.
And why should it not be? Hundreds
of quarter sections have been proved
up by homesteaders and thus added
to the taxable property. That the
state board of assessment raised the
valuation of farm lands in counties
where there had been a reasonable as
sessment as compared with the year
before is false. In making this state
ment the editor of the INDEPENDENT
relies upon Peter Carroll, our county
auditor, who tells us that notice from
the state board received last week is
to the effect that the valuation of
farm lands in Kingsbury county was
not changed, but remains at an aver
age of 500 per acre as sent in by
the county board of equalization,
which is the same as year ago. Does
anyone think that an average of 500
for Kingsbury county farm land too
high for taxation purposes? But
what we desire to impress upon the
mind of the reader is that the valua-
ton is the same as that of a year ago,
Notwithstanding the fact that machine
papers all over the state are talking
about an increase
Again, these same papers are dish
ing up nice lot of stuff about the
state levy being so much higher this
year than last. The levy is higher.
The total levy is Al mills, so it is
reported One mill, almost one,

THE EXPORT WHEAT SITUATION.

The exportable wheat surplus of the
United States is an elusive quantity.
The steady increase in home consump-
ton and the ability of the American
farmer to carry large reserves makes
calculations forecasting the probable
contribution of this country to the de-
ficiency nations rather hazardous.
Yet the export situation at the mo-
ment is an important factor in the mar
ket. With our already large supplies
in the visible and new crop adding
daily to the burden, any betterment in
the commercial demand means a check
in the downward tendency of the price.
Developments in last weeks wheat
market were along the line of an i'm
proved legitimate situation. Wheat
prices reached a level that were salts
factory to foreign buyers and liberal
sales were made for export. From a
weak price position, accentuated by
the inadequate telegraphic facilities,
the export purchases had firming
tendency.
According to present information,

fourth of the state tax is to pay
a deficiency left by the old ma
chine administration. One and one
fourth mills is levied in accordance
with the vote of the people whoauthor
lied the construction and operation
of a twine plant at the penitentiary.
If any blame for that levy attaches to
any one, iU should fall upon the peo-
pie themselves. or if any administra-
ton is to blame for it, it should fall
upon the old administration which
submitted the question to vote. For
general purposes the levy is one
fourth of a mill higher than a year
ago, being y mills, or a tax of 28
cents higher on the average quarter.
section in Kingsbury county. We
presume the state board of assessment
increased the levy that much with
the intention of making the levy pay
all expenses, instead of leaving de-
ficiency for the next administration.
An analysis of the matter of equaliza-
tion and assessment leaves very little
comfort for those who are casting
about for anything and everything
with which to fight the republican
state administration.

THE great number of railroad wrecks
has set experienced men to studying
causes which produce such terrible
effects. Not long ago Investigations
proved that the Bessamer steel pro-
cess produced great percentage of
defective rails, and within the last
three months we have the great steel
manufacturers converting plants into
the open hearth system which is cal
culated to do away with the defective
rail to large extent But experienced
railroad men have not been content
with the discovery of the defective
rail. ID. Patterson, master mechanic
of the Colorado a. Southern R'y, has
invented divice for the detection of
inequalities in the tires of locomotive
drivers, which are produced by uneven
weight. By this device it has been
proven that some drivers are as high
as $50 pounds heavier on the side
that is counter balanced, and some
heavier at the crank pin, making the
greatest wear on the tires at those
two points. A wheel $50 pounds
heavier on one side than the other
means that every revolution of that
wheel would strike the track a heavy

the crop shortage abroad means extra
demands upon the surplus nations.
The basis for the high international
wheat price is based upon short
worlds crop. Immediate conditions
are against this deficiency becoming
acute as the northern half of the
globe where the shortage is, has not
only the tag end of old crop supplies
but is getting the first run of its pres
ent harvest. 1t will take some time
for this shrinkage to materialize, al
though the buying power that is now
in the market should reflect the short
age to some extent.
The United States, despite the
losses in this seasons harvest, is in a
position to supply liberal quota to
the deficiency countries. Price will
have an important bearing on the
amount that will be offered after the
first run of the new crop is over. If
the present level is satisfactory to
foreigners, the outlook for strong
price position for the cereal is prom
ising. With the possible exception
of frost damage in the spring wheat
belt in the Northwest and in Canada
there appears to be no other stimulus
to higher prices than good CONNER
cial demand
If European requirements are as
large as expert calculation makes
them, the outlook for placing a liberal
amount of our surplus abroad, in the
face of last weeks developments, is
somewhat assuring and the prospect
for lower prices less positive.

expired last January said that the in
debtedness of the state had been SO
reduced as to practically amount to
mere bagatelle as compared to the
vast resources of the state" He then
injected little stump speech into
the report, saying:
"This happy financial condition
should be source of qualification to
every individual in the state, as it GER
tainly is matter of pride to the Off
cials who are making the last account
ing of their stewardship to the people
whom they have been serving"
The state board of assessment has
just completed it's labors, levying a
tax of four and one-half mills on each
dollar of valuation, one mill of which
represents the deficiency the debts
owned by the state for running ex-
penses. The board has provided for
the ''mere bagatelle" that is source
of qualification.
The general levy was two and one
quarter mills and one and one quarter
mills was levied to provide funds for
conducting the penitentiary twine
plant, the voters of the state having
directed the levy at the last election.

THE strike of the Western Union
telegraph operators is not felt by the
majority of the people to any great
extent. To the commercial interests,
however, it is matter of considerable
consequence. Those who patronize
the telegraph, and from the nature of
their business are dependent upon it
are losing several times the amount
lost in wages by the strikers and that
lost by the company in loss of busi-
ness. There is as much occasion for
the interstate commerce commission
to step in and assist in adjusting this
difficulty as there was in helping to
settle the threatened railroad strike.
