the money market as easily as they
did last October when they brought
about condition that caused the
price of barley to drop from dollar
to 80 cents inside of two weeks. An
other feature of Aldrich's bill is the
provision for a committee to pass up.
on bonds offered as security for emer
gency currency. With a committee
friendly to the System" bonds of
concerns that have already watered
their stock one or two hundred per
cent could be accepted as security
for emergency currency. 1t would
help the gamblers of Wall Street, but
the great Legitimate interests of the
west would be more than ever at the
mercy of the commercial pirates of
the east.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1908-01-17

If there is anyone who has thought
that the Investigations, legislation,
etc, already had were sufficient to
put the interests" on their guard
against encroaching too far upon the
peoples rights, the Aldrich emergency
currency bill should dispel the illusion.
The senators controlled by the "sys
tenn" are just as much alive to their
masters interests as they were few
years ago. The attempt to enact a
law that will let Wall Street deposit
bonds based upon watered railroads
and other industrials as security for
emergency currency shows that the
people need to have as much or more
care in the selection of their senators
than ever before. 1t is not safe to
send man to the senate who has been
identified with the interests of the
system"

Press anent the alleged big increase
in taxes in Brookings county for the
purpose of showing the alleged ex-
travagance of the present state adj
ministration, has been finally forced
to confess to misrepresentation in its
tax figures. 1t says:
"The tax figures recently published
by the Argus Leader for Brookings
county included the tax of mill and
a quarter tax for the twine plant. The
Argus Leader stated that this tax was
excluded from the figures, but this IS
incorrect. The fact is that, with the
twine plant tax out, the state tax on
the farmers of Brookings county is not
increased very much"
And this is about the situation in all
the other counties in the state, says
the Dell Rapids Tribune Eliminat
ing the II mill levy for the peni-
tertiary twine plant, which the people
voted for at the last election, the state
tax, as the Argus-Leader says, sis not
increaced very much." If the deficit
left by the Elrod administration is
also taken into consideration, the taxes
for which the present administration
is responsible are no higher than
formerly

A TAFT CLUB was formed at Con
cord, New Hampshire, Saturday,
January llth, by about $50 of the
leading republican politicians of that
state. The action did not meet with
the approval of its representatives in
congress, however, and letters were
read from Senators Gallinger and
Burnham and Congressman Currier
and Sulloway expressing disapproval
of the meeting on the ground that it
was unwise for the party to place
itself on record at this time in favor
of any one candidate. A resolution
favoring continuance of New Hamp
shire's custom of sending unpledged
delegates to the national convention
was adopted. From this it seems
that the fellows around Washington
where they have a chance to size up
the situation are little afraid the
Taft boom will land them too far
from where the band wagon starts.
Even Ohio is not expected to be solid
for Taft at the coming state conyen-
ton. Kittredge is about the only
state that is unanimous for Taft at
this time.

SETH BULLOCK, q. S. marshal for
this state, and somewhat noted be-
cause his imitation of wild west ways
amused the president, has been IN
Washington for couple of weeks for
the purpose of inducing the president
to exert hts influence in behalf of
Kittredge in the campaign now at
hand. But dispatches for several
days have told us of the failure of
Bullock in his quest of administration
support for the lost cause, and now
Seth is coming home to see if he can
not work the bluff alone. Undoubt-
edly he will be interviewed by those
friendly to the system and for
several weeks we shall hear of all sorts
of things from Seth, which may be
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1908-01-17

IT may ethat Kittredge is actually
for Taft, but Taft by his actions
makes it perfectly plain that he is
not for Kittredge or anyone else in
the senatorial fight in this state.
A man with sense enough to be a real
live candidate for the presidency
could not be fool enough to line up
with a party faction in state and
thus lay himself open to criticism
which might be taken up in other
states. And then again, it appears
that Taft remembers that Kittredge
was an obstructionist in canal matters
"a sort of "dog in the manger".

DURING the last campaign Hon.
Philo Hall, then candidate for con-
gress, challenged Eben Martin, then
congressman and also candidate for
the senate, to joint debate. Martin
refused to enter debate because it was
"beneath the dignity" of a candidate
for the senate to debate with one who
sought an Office of lesser importance.
To this the machine papers assented
with one accord and commended Mar
tin for the position he took. This
year Gov. Crawford is candidate for
the senate against Kittredge and chal-
lenged the latter to debate. Kit
redge can only say one piece, and that
is about a sea level canal he will not
accept Crawford's challenge. The
machine put up Jim Lawson, of Aber-
deem, once state senator and all the
time ward politician, to challenge
Crawford to debate. Crawford pays
no attention to the ward politician
and therefore the machine are hollar-
ing themselves hoarse about Crawford
being afraid of debate. Trot out your
Kittredge and let him accept the chal-
lenge of Mr.. Crawford. Be fair once
and do not ask Crawford to debate
with every Jim crow politician in the
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1908-01-17

KITTREDGE is supposed to come
home some time this week to take up
the campaign and see that only Taft
delegates are elected to the national
convention. Kit has evidently for
gotten that he was sent to Washing
ton to act as U. S. senator, and not as
a political boss here at home.

STATE TAXES.

The Brookings Press makes note of
the fact that last year the state tax
on that county was Sl4,672 and that
this year it is S34,125. rhe taxpayers
Of that county are wondering just
where they have secured $4,000
worth or reform. Argus Leader.
Admitting that the above is true
statement what does it prove? Sim
ply that taxes are always lower durin g
years following when no election has
been held. In 1902 an election was
held and in 1903 it was necessary
to levy an Increased tax to pay off
the expenses of the election of 1902
also to pay deficiency bills which had
accumulated. In 1904 and 1906 elec-
tions were held and in 1905 and 1907
there was another deficience for each
of those years which had to be met
by an increased levy for the years
1905 and 1907 to pay the deficiencies
of the previous years. Below we give
the total valuation for the odd years
since 1908 and the per cents of levies
made each year and the amounts paid
into the state treasury received from
taxes in Brookings county.

SENATOR ALDRICH has introduced an
emergency currency measure. Al
drich is very closely identified with
the system" and anything he would
introduce along that line would be in
the interests of Wall Street and of
mighty little value to the people Of
the west and to legitimate business
interests in general. His bill provides
for the deposit of bonds other than
United States bonds" As the banks
of the west have little opportunity to
invest in industrial bonds, needing
most of the money at home, it follows
that Aldrich has provided a bill where
by the system will have about all the
available security for emergency cur
rency. This would help the Well
Street financiers immensely, but it
would leave it in the power of Wall
Street to bring about stringency in
