READ THE RECORD

There are few things which the
electors of South Dakota should not
overlook in casting their ballots at
the June primaries. These facts
should be borne in mind:
Mr.. Crawford was against the double
damage liability Of railroads in the last
territorial council at Bismarck in 1889.
Read the record.
This same bill came before the South
Dakota senate in 1890 and received
the cordial support of Senator A. b.
Kittredge. Read the record.
Mr. Crawford stood for the iniqui
tous gross earrings measure in 1Ss9-a
law whose effect was rank discrimina.

railroad and against the home builder
Read the record.
Mr.. Crawford voted against the bill
establishing a soldiers home in 1889.
Read the record.
Mr.. Crawford as member of the
state senate in 1890, voted against the
antitrust bill, which, Notwithstanding
became law. Read the record.
Senator Kittredge was a member of
the same senate and voted for it. Sue
eeeding legislatures have strengthened
its provisions. Read the record.
Mr. Crawford, by virtue of his Office
as attorney general of the state was
member of the state board Of assessment
and equalization in 1896, and took an
active part in seeking to reduce the as
sessment Of the Northwestern railroad.
Read the record.
The record shows that Mr.. Crawford
was present at the 1896 meeting OF this
board only when the question of rail
road assessments was under considera-
ton. Read the record.
Through the influence of Mr.. Craw-
ford the Northwestern assessment for
1895, as compared with that of 1895,
was reduced as follows over the portions
Of the road named: Huron east to the
state line, 5000 per mile; between Huron
and Hawarden, 5000 per mile; Elkhorn
branch, in the Black Hills, $500 per
mile. Read the record.
Within sixty days after completing
his service as attorney general of the
state, Mr.. Crawford became the state
counsel for the Northwestern system.

WHICH WILL YOU DOE

Walworth County Record:-The ap-
preparations made by the last legisla-
ture amount to $2,225,0 900, excluding the
Irvine plant. If all of the 1907 taxes
are paid, according to the state audi
tor, there will be realized $779,400,
leaving the amount to be raised for 1908
the difference of 81, 445, 900.
Usually, the first year after the SEES
sion of the legislature the taxes are
higher than the second year, in order
to save interest, but our reform admin
istration arranged matters in the hope
that they could win in the primaries
before the levy would be made. and be-
fore the true state of affairs would be-
come public.
You are also asked to do away with
the constitutional tax levy limit.
If your taxes are high this year with
$779, 400 to raise, what will they be next
year with $1,445,000 to raisef
Did you get lower taxes when the
state reformedf
Did you get lower railroad ratesi
Didn't you get fimflammedf
Will you vote for the stalwarts that
turned over the state to the reformers
out of debt, or will you vote for the re-
formers who are building up a big
debt while you are paying bigger taxes
than everf

tend special favors to the Northwestern
road. See pages 46 and AZ, above men
toned, if in doubt.
Now, let us@Ake Mr.. Crawford's val
uation of railroad property in 1896 as
basis for calculation. Remember that
Senator Kittredge was never member
o. this board; therefore, Mr.. Crawford,
aot Mr. Kittredge, was the one who de-
termined railroad valuations in 1895.
Comparing the valuations then fixed
by Mr.. Crawford with those fixed in
1907, and taking twenty-five mills as
the average levy (the aforesaid sub
sidiZed organ assures us that this is sub
stantially correct) for the past ten years,
we find that Mr.. Crawford has cost Min
er county exactly $3,636.SS year, or
precisely $36,6S0.s0 for the ten years
preceding 1907.
The voters Of Miner county will have
an opportunity to say in the June pri-
maries whether they think Crawford is
worth the money.
And so these comparisons might be
continued, embracing every county in
the state. Remember that when Govern
or Crawford is damning Senator Kilt
redge for the low railroad valuations he
himself, not Senator Kittredge fixed
these valuations decade ago.

H. L. LoUCKS' VIEW

Hon. II. L. Loucks, the former popu-
list leader, in a recent WATERFOWL inter
view expressed himself as follows with
reference to the fractional fight in this
state, although he added that he did not
consider himself a republican and there
for not supporter Of either Kittredge
or Crawford:
Mr. Loucks said he wondered why
Senator Kittredge in discussing his re-
cord, failed to discuss his vote in the
amendment to the currency act during
the last session of congress.
Here" said the old time populist,
"was a clear-cut issue between the two
factions. Senator Gamble is the insur
gent chief. Crawford sacrificed himself
to support Gamble, and it is fair to
charge the insurgents with CANDLES re-
cord and to assume that Crawford would
have voted with Gamble in the United
States senate during the last session of
congress. Senator Aldrich, who. repre-
sents The System introduced an amend
ment to the currency act, providing,
among other things for the depositing
of the customs duties, amounting to be-
tween $500, 100000 and $500, 100000 an
nually, In the national banks, without
interest OF course this meant practi-
cally the New York banks.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota" con
tinued Mr.. Loucks, "offered an amend
ment providing that in the future the
secretary of the treasury shall deposit
this money in banks that are willing to
pay interest on daily balances at the
rate of two per cent per annum. Sena-
tor Aldrich insisted that his pets, the
New York banks, could not afford to
pay any interest at all. Senator Mel
son clearly demonstrated that the banks
in the northwest would be glad of the
opportunity to pay this rate Of interest
ON the deposits.
"The Congressional Record of Feb
ruary 26, 1908, page 4O6O, shows that on
this amendment of Senator Nelson IS so
clearly in the interest. of the northwest,
Senator Gamble voted in the negative
with Senator Aldrich and THE System. ,
Senator Kittredge voted aye with SEN
ator Nelson and for the northwest. Had
this amendment been adopted, it is fair
to assume, that the late panic, with its
disastrous results, would have been a.
voided. The change would have serv-
ed the double purpose of giving us more
and cheaper money in South Dakota,
better prices for our farm products and
a national revenue.o
Speaking of the continuation of SEN
ator Nelson's efforts to have the bill
amended SO as to be of some benefit to
the country, Mr.. Loucks added: cit
seems to me that If the voters of the
state were properly advised on this is
sue alone, they would not hesitate be-
tween Senator Kittredge and--another

The railroads Of South Dakota are
reasonably worth more than thirty
thousand dollars mile. Let anybody
try to buy them if he doubts this state
ment. The railroad managers chem
selves have submitted official proof that
they cost more than thirty thousand
dollars . mile. There are 3,433 miles Of
railroad in this state, and the reason
able worth thereof is $l25,0O0,O 900. But
we find that Mr. Crawford's board Of
assessment in 1907 fixed the assessed
value at substantially $2l 900 900, which
represents about seventeen per cent Of
the actual value.
On the other hand, farm lands were
supposedly assessed At one.third Of
