A DODGE DODGED.

The express companies doing bust
ness in South Dakota tried sharp
practice on the state board Of assess
ment this year and as a result they are
themselves now threatening to appeal
to the court.
Under chapter Ga of the session
laws of South Dakota for 1907, the
gross earnings of the express compan-
les were to be reported for taxation.
The express companies ceemingly
complied with pleasure. But the as
sessment board found that the com
panies had reported only the gross
earnings on their intra-state business.
All interstate business done in South
Dakota had been subtracted from
their total. They evidently believed
that South Dakota had the right to tax
them only on business done between
points in South Dakota. As this, OF
course was much less than the total
business, the board Of assessment was
nettled by what was considered an at

The Sioux Falls Critic rants like a
mad man because Senator Kittredge
has never east a vote TO squeeze the
water out af the railroad stocks of the
country. The water never ought to
have been allowed in these stocks, but
it is another question to squeeze it out
by legislation. IF the Critic man own
ed a few thousand shares of railroad
stocks for which he had paid good
money, he would very strenusly object
to having a few law makers rob him
of half his hard earnings. Huronite.
That Kittredge has not run rail
road stocks through wringer is no
more against him than the same fact
is against other members of the SEN
ate. But we never could see the phil
osophy of the argument that some
had paid good money for the water.
There is just as much reason for a
man losing his money invested in
watered stock as there is in man
losing the money invested in the pur-
chase of a stolen horse. Both repre-
sent property to which the seller had
no honest title.

European countries pay from 2 to 3
per cent on deposits, and some of
them accept deposits as low as 10
cents although most countries fix one
dollar as the minimum of deposits,
this being done TO save bookkeeping
expenses. Eight countries have put
the postal savings banks into effect,
with the best of results Canada re-
CARDS the balance due to depositors

means that dollar put into the postal

OF the government and is as secure as
the government itself. In the main

country are safe, but system of
postal savings, with the credit of
Uncle Sam in the back ground, would
stimulate savings, which means slim

something done. -Argus-Leader.

tempt by the companies to evade a
part of the lawful tax
The representatives of the express
companies had stated to the board
that their companies had paid fifty
per cent. of their gross receipts to
the railroads. So the board did the
very simple thing of looking up in
South Dakota railroad reports the
amount OF money received from the
express companies, multiplying this
by two and assessing the companies
on the result as their gross earnings
in South Dakota. This increased the
amount upon which the American ex-
press company was assessed from
$4,000 to $l0l 900 and the United
States Express company from $52,-
600 to Sl11,000.
Then attorneys for the companies,
as might have been expected since
their suberfuge had availed them
nothing, presented long legal objec-
tions to the board. They disputed
the constitutionality of the law and
alleged discrimination in that they
were not taxed for the money value
of their property, as are other tax
payers of the state. The companies
may appeal to the courts to prevent
the states taxing them on anything
but business within the state. But
in that event the burden of proof will
be on the express companies, where
it belongs. If the express companies
do not pay taxes to South Dakota on
the interstate business done through
South Dakota, then it will simply
not be taxed. The express compan-
les can only hope by taking refuge
in the technicalities of dual jurisdic-

The levy for state taxes for the en-
suing year will be Al mills, the larg.
est in the history of the state. Two
mills will be used for general state
purposes, one mill for deficiency
levy and II mills for the erection and
equipment of twine plant at the
state penitentiary, as authorized by
the people of the state at the election
held last fall. Volga Tribune.
According to the above the real
tax levy for state purposes is 3 mills
of which one-third is to pay debts
contracted by the old administration
The twine plant levy, which was vot-
ed by the people should not be charg-
ed to the administration as it is not
due to administration policies, nor tC
an act of the Legislature on its own
motion. The statement contained
in the above to the effect that it is the
largest levy in the history of the state
is not quite true. The 1902 levy was
81 mills; 1908, A. mills; 1904, 3 mills
1905, 4 mills; 1906, 2 mills. When
we eliminate the special assessment
for the twine plant, we have three out
of the five years last past which had
a higher levy. The total state levy
for the FIVE years was II mills, or an

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

For TWENTY-FIVE years there has been
an agitationin favor of a system of
postal savings banks in the United
States. TIE success of this plan in
Europe is admitted, and there has
been in thl country pronounced but
poorly expressed desire for such a
system in the United States. The
thing whih has so far prevented the
adoption # the system aas been the
question # Investment of the funds
so as to KEEP the peoples money in
circulation, as it isput into circulation
by the b5nks, and this has been an
objectionwhich no one has yet met.
1t is nbw announced that the post
master general is in favor of the pos
tai savings bank system, and that in
his next annual report he will strong
ly recommend its adoption.
The argument orthe postal savings
bank is that it will stimulate the thrift
of the people by encouraging the
habit of saving, Give to the common

EDITOR KEENE, of the Arlington

of the same thing. There seems TO
be conspiracy against the Keene

periencing such heavy losses, they
must think they broke into fearful
