During the last fourteen years
only FIVE deficiency levies have been
made in this state. During that
time, the state paid off the Taylor
defalcation of 1857 900 and bonded
debt of about 100000. This means
that with only five deficiency levies,
the state in fourteen years paid off a
debt of over a million dollars. In
the first two years of Crawfordism,
there were two deficiency levies, and
during that same time the state will
run in debt nearly half a million.
How do the taxpayers of the state
like it?
Senator Kittredge declared in his
speech and the Taft republicans
declared in their platform at
Mitchell, in favor of two cent rail
road fare, lower freight rates, and a
law giving the state the interest on
public funds. These reforms were
promised by the reformers two years
ago, but they failed to deliver the
goods. There need be no fear that
if the next legislature is stalwart,
that the record of the last legisla-
ture will be repeated. Senator Kilt
redge and his political friends have
never been guilty of breaking their
pledges to the people.
The people of south Dakota and
Senator Kittredge understand each
other better than ever before since
his Mitchell address last week.
They know the motives which have
actuated him in the past and the
policies which at present and in the
future he will pursue. There is
nothing in the past to hide; to use
his own phase, he requires no white
wash brushes, or anyone to swing
them. His reception at Mitchell
was an ovation. Daily the sound
judgment Of the people is setting
upon the proposition that he is a
worthy national character; state
asset worth while and that his
reelection is the matter of para
mount interest in South Dakota this
year.
In the United States District Court
at Kansas City, Mo-, George L.
Thomas, freight brokerl of New
York City, and L. B. Taggart, his
clerk, pleaded guilty to the charge
of conspiring to pay rebates to rail-
roads, and were fined $1,000 and
$4,000, respectfully, the Jail sentence
being omitted. They we're found
guilty on June %, 1905, and were
fined So, 1000 and $4,000, with sew
eral months in jail. Upon appeal
the verdict was reversed on q teoh-

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Business upon tAe Washington Stock
Exchange yesterday was small in vol
ume. and confined largely to trading
In Washington Railway and Electric
bonds-s7 500, face value. or these bonds
were taken by waiting brokers. at 7e15.
Brokers were feeling jubilant over
the prospect of a better market in
New York, some of them hoping that
prices will rise high enough to enable
them and their clients TO get out OF
long stock that has been held for sew
eral months awaiting a chance to sell.
Some of the local brokers are fearful
that the realizing orders sent in by
Monday morning may swamp the mar
ket. They say that If prices hold
through the first hour the real test Of
strength viii have been safely passed.
and The upward tendency of values fui
ly established.
The announcement in The Washing
ton Herald yesterday OF the proposed
merging of the Traders National and
the Merchants and Mechanics Savings
banks was much commented upon yes
terday, as being a step in the right di-
rection. The impression is growing
that Washington has too many finan-
cial institutions, and that the union Of
some of them into stronger banks will
work ont well FOR the city.
A number OF other rumors are cur
rent with reference 10 the merging Of
other institutions. but as yet nothing
definite can be ascertained with ref
erence- TO the deals.
Edward S. Mumford has been elected
treasurer of the Union Savings Bank.
IL
George o. Watson resigned 20 become
the cashier of the Commercial National
Bank
Holcomb C. Johnson, who has been
employed by the United States Trust
Company since its organization. a por-
tiOn of the time as paying teller, has
resigned and viii enter upon general
insurance business. with the COnnecti-
cut Mutual and other companies.
