HARK FROM THE ToMBs.

Bryan has now indefinitely allied
himself with reaction. He has de
clared that the democratic party Is
the defender OF competition and the
only great party seeking to restore
competition"
lie admits that competition is gone
He admits THAT for years industry
has been moving away from competi.
uon.He says that not more than five
percent OF the corporations OF the
country would come under his pro
posed law against trusts. Yet Lafol.
lette has shown that this five per
cent Of the corporations control more
than 80 billion dollars of the nations
capital.
Bryan would have us believe that
he can roll society back into the
days OF the little cross roads firm,
To him the one great fact OF modern
competition leads to
inevitable monopoly-is a closed book

ton has been made to the st. Johns

the work Of boosting the Peninsula.
At present writing the editor of the
Review seems to think we'll of the
scheme, and IL he Is pledged the
support of the communities wherein
his paper is supposed TO circulate
he will adopt the suggestion
There is news enough In the
Peninsula for a live paper. and there
will be more news In the future

commissioners he stated that he was

like street crossings. sewers, street
lights and things which they were un-
able to get before, therefore there
was no material kicking on that score
and wouldn't be so long as they were
so evidently getting their moneys
worth.
A movement was started in Valley
City some time ago looking toward
the adoption of the commission plan,
but the time was inopportune owing
to a bond muddle, trouble over water
and light plants and the fact that the
proposition was engineered by par
ties seeking revenge. Even those
who opposed the plan at that time,
would favor it now, according to sew
eral Valley City men IN the city yes
terday. who had been opposed to the
proposition when it came up before,
but they said itswas altogether like
ly that an effort along that line would
be made again and would undoubted-
ly carry on the ground of its better
adaptibility to small cities than the
cumbersome system now in vogue.
There is no desire here on the part
of those ,favoring the plan to choke i
down the peoples throats; on the
contrary they hope the proposition
will be openly and fairly discussed
as one of the civic problems which
should be calmly considered, above
and aside from any political aspect
for there is no politics in it. 1t Is
simply an economic question and in
line with other like problems which
today are confronting the American
people concerning the government o.
their domestic affairs.

THE QUESTION OF ASSESSMENT.

THE QUESTION OF ASSESSMENT.
;. The matter of assessment and tax
alton will doubtless be one OF the in
teresting questions to engage the at
tention of the legislature. 1t is more
than likely that the carrying out of
, the constitutional requirement for the
assessment of all property at its full
value will be proposed, and there is
a number of coordinate questions
that will come up in the same con-
nection.
1t is the theory of the law that
property shall be assessed at its true
value and that all property shall be
assessed. In practice property is as
sessed through the: state at varying
proportions of its real value, and
much property escapes taxation alto
gether. The evil, as we have indicat-
ed in discussing this matter before,
lies in the failure to reach great
share of property for taxation. If all
at a uniform proportion of its true
value the matter would be simply
one of rate. There Is so much aggre-
gate tax to be paid, and whether
property were assessed at its real
value, or at fifty per cent of its value,
it would pay the same share, provid-
ed that the proportion was equal
everywhere, and that all property
was reached. e.,
"A law that assessed all property
at its true value and yet did not
reach the property that now escapes,
would not solve the difficulties, or
correct the present injustices. 1t
makes little or no difference with the
man whose property is not on the tax
roll whether valuation is a hundred
per cent or twenty per cent. So that
one of the problems first to be settled
is to reach the class of property that
is at present hidden and that escapes
taxation altogether.
A change of the present system of
assessment to real value system
would entail the changing of a num-
Der of other laws, including the pres
ent mill tax for educational institu-
tlons,- which would have to be re-
duced to accord with the increased
valuation in the state. The laws fix
ing county officers salaries upon as
sessed valuation would have also to
eb changed. and it is question
whether it would be well to permit
the present debt limit percentage to
remain as it is. A sudden multiple
cation of the debt limit in cities,
counties and other municipalities by
Tour or five might not be altogether
wise.

The Golden Valley Enterprise,

holiday edition, made possible only
by energetic management and class
of active business men. Not very
many years ago Beach was only a
sign board on the prairie, and there
was nothing in the vicinity but
coyotes and a few stray bands of cat
tie and horses. Recently the post
Office at Hettinger was made presi-
dental postofice and the salary of
the postmaster fixed at $1,000 Less
than two years ago there was no Het-
finger, no Adams county, no Milwau-
kee road, and the country was va
cant prairie, save for an occasional
homesteader's cabin or stock ranch.
When development of country thar
has Intrinsic worth and merit begins,
it moves rapidly. And the railroad is
a great factor in development. Had
1t not been for the construction of
the milwaukee road through Adams
and Bowman county, their develop
ment would have been slow and the
country would have been years in
reaching the state of development it
has attained In a comparatively short
time Another year there will prob.
ably be railroads constructed through
Oliver and Mercer counties, and we
may lcok for remarkable Develop
ment Of those counties following the
building OF a road Dunn county is
