COLLEGE OPENS

The first semester of the college
few over 200 enrolled yesterday.
and this number will be steadily in
creased the next two weeks. The
students have been slower coming in
this year than in former years, due to
the fact that college opens a week
earlier, also to the lateness Of the
season which has kept large num-
Der of young men on the farm. BY
the first of October the full strength
will be enrolled. The new faculty
members have arrived and taken up
their duties and while every thing is
running smoothly it will be several
days before the semester may be said
to be in full swing.
With the opening Of the college year
the question of winning football
team is a most prominent one to the
faculty and students. 1t is too early
to venture a prediction on the
strength of this years team, but hopes
are entertained for a successful sea
son. A number of last years team
will not be in school, including Reich
and McCordic, the big linemen. A
great deal depends, of course, upon
what comes in this fall. and it is to
be hoped that few big men can be
picked up Coach Juneau has issued

Chas. Coughlin the star halfback OF
last years team, will be captain again

WORK ON SEPTIC TANK

Monday morning work was started
on the sewerage disposal plant. which
is a necessary adjunct to the new sewer
system now being installed The dis
posal plant will be located just west
of Geo. n. kennard's house and near
the railroad right-of.way. The plant
will be completed this fall if it is
possible to get the men necessary
to do the work At the present time
it is almost impossible to get men and
teams at any price, and it is barely
possible that the work will have to be
left until next spring.
Just as soon as the disposal plant
is completed the part of the new sys-
tenn completed can be put to use. and
for that reason the contractors will
be urged to hurry the work along as
fast as possible.
The disposal plant will consist of a
tank, 24x70, built of cement, and three
filter beds. The sewerage is pumped
to the tank, from where it flows
over the filter beds. filled with ashes,
which removes the organic matter
and leaves clear liquid which can
be run off The system to be used
is known as the septic treatment of
sewerage, and is said to be far ahead
of any other system known at the pre-
sent time.
The big ditcher has been busy,
working east along Fifth stree this
week. having completed the work in
west BroOkings. A block was com.
pletad from the main sewer on Main
street to the Lutheran church, and
great deal of difficulty was exper.
fenced by the caving in, the ditch in
some places being fifteen feet wide.
The waterworks crew is coming
along first rate. but have been troubl
ed in not securing enough help. They
are now running the cross bitches
north from Sixth to Ninth st. and
have the work about completed along
Eighth and Ninth avenues.

GROSS MISREPRESENTATION

The sorehead corporation controlled
element of the Republican party in
this state. through its hireling news
papers during the past two weeks, has
made a concerted attack upon Gov
ernor Crawford and the assessment

believe those papers would not have

them how to so ingeniously compile
the statements made in order to mis-.

There has never been an admin

There has not been, since statehood
an administration that has not been

the first or second year because the

Inc percentage or increase IS the
test not the mere aggregate.
AS We understand it, the aim of
the Board was to as nearly as pos
sible SO equalize the assessment that
all property should bear its fair pro.
portion of the burden of taxation.
The State Board does not assess
farm lands, town lots, bank stock.
and personal property, These are
assessed by local assessors It is
we'll known that local assessors over
the state generally assess property
at from one-fourth to one.third of its
real value. The constitution contem-
plates that il shall be assessed at it's
full value but under the present sys-
TEN it is impossible to get local as,
SCISSORS to assess at full value, the re-
suit being from one-fourth to one-third
of that value
The State Board cannot remedy this
by raising the assessment to full val

it is Board OF Equalization only and
cannot raise the aggregate assess

THE TWiNE PLANT

Now here is where the "soreheads"
had a chance to show their ingenuity.
You will notice that they do not refer
to this because the people voted to
have twine factory established at
the state penitentiary this was sup
ported by the farmer tax payers or
it would never become operative. In
order to raise the necessary money
to install machinery a one and one
fourth mill tax was levied and this is
the only chance the "sOreheads" had
to get in wedge, but the tax payers
will repudiate such tactics. Every
farmer in South Dakota is interested
in the twine plant. They asked to have
it established knowing that in Mime
sofa the state twine factory had not
only paid for itself but had also saw
ed the farmers of that state thousands
of dollars. and the present admin
stration has only complied with their
demands.
Briefly summed up then the tax
levy stands as follows:
Regulation tax for mainte-
nance of state. e......... mills
Tax to pay off debts incurred
by "stalwart" administra-
ton and to save per cent
interest on same. ......... ,
Tax to pay for installing
twine plant. IA

them at the last election and refuse
