Now, let us take Mr.. Crawford's val.
uation Of railroad property in 1896 as
q basis for calculation. Remember that
Senator Kittredge was never a member
Of this board; therefore, Mr.. Crawford,
not 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 correctly for the past ten years,
we find that MI. Crawford has cost Min
er county exactly $3,636.ss a 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 Kit
redge for the low railroad valuations he
himself, not Senator Kittredge fixed
these valuations a decade ago.

WHICH WILL YOU DO?

Walworth County Record:-The ap-
preparations made by the last legisla-
ture amount to 1925, 900, excluding the
Irvine plant. If all of the 1907 taxes
are paid, according to the state audi
tor, there will be realized $779,4O0,
leaving the amount to be raised for 1908
the difference Of 81, $4,000.
Usually, the first year after the SEES
sion Of the legislature the taxes are
higher than the second yea-, in order
to say 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
$779,40O to raise, what will they be next
year with $1,445,000 to raises
Did you get lower taxes when the
state reformedf
Did you get lower railroad ratesi
Didn't you get fimf1ammedi
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

RAILROADS AND FARM LANDS

The railroads of South Dakota are
reasonably worth more than thirty
thousand dollars a mile. Let anybody
try to buy them if he doubts this state
ment. The railroad managers them
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 $125, O0O, 600. But
We ind that Mr.. Crawford's board of
assessment in 1907 fixed the assessed
value At substantially $21, o00, 00o, which
represents about seventeen per cent Of
the actual value.
On the other hand, farm lands were
supposedly assessed At one-third Of
their true value. There are 81, o3S,446
acres Of farm lands, and they were -.
sessed at $155, 75s,4o7, Of 500 per acre,
or 421.27 as the actual value. It 10 rea-
sonable to suppose that this represents
! fair valuation Of the farm lands, TAX
ing the state as . whole.
It il noteworthy that farm lands are
assessed ct practically thirty-three
per cent Of their true value, while rail-
road property il assessed at approx
mately seventeen per cent Of its actual
value.

WHAT TALWART PROPOSED

The stalwarts offered the following
resolutions at the Huron convention
as expressive of their sentiments with
regard to national issues:
No. l.
We, the Republicans Of South Dakota
in state convention assemble for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
National Convention to be held at Chi
cage, June 18th, 1908, renew our al
legiance to the cardinal principles Of the
Republican party as they have been OK
pounded by it's great leaders, Lincoln,
Grant, Garfield, Harrison and McKin-
ley, and we glory in the record made
under the administration of that match
less leader of the twentieth century,
Theodore Roosevelt.
No. 2.
The evolution in the industrial world
has produced new problems requiring
for their solution the highest order Of
craftsmanship and we rejoice that dur
ing this era of marvellous development
progress and prosperity the Republican
party has had for its leader, a man Of
the people, possessed of the highest
order of constructive craftsmanship and
executive ability, constantly responsive
to the requirements of advancing civil
%ization, and we point with pride to the
fact that the policies of Theodore
Roosevelt have always appealed to the
conscience and intelligence of the Re
publicans of South Dakota.
No. 3.
Desiring as we do to continue these
policies and see them established with
frmness so that there shall be no back
ward step in the progress already made,
we favor the nomination of William
Howard Taft as the standard bearer Of
the Republican party for 1908. In his
great ability, irreproachable character
and answering fidelity to the cause
which We desire 10 see advanced, we
have the utmost confidence. In him we
recognize a loyal friend and supporter
of President Roosevelt and believe in
his uncompromising integrity and un-
faltering courage: therefore the dele
gates selected by this convention are
instructed to cast their votes for VIM.
H. Taft and give him their nnequivecal
and loyal support, in utmost good faith,
so long as his name shall be before the
convention.
No. 4.
We declare our belief in the bene-
fcence of the principles of protection
to Americana industries by a tariff so
adjusted as to work equity to the labor
err, manufacturer and consumer. The
present statute has been law eleven
years and we believe the time has come
when a re-adjustment of the rates of
duty should be made by the friends of
protection: We therefore endorse the
declaration of Ohio Republicans made
in convention this year for a revision
of the tariff at a special session Of Con-
gress insuring the maintenance of the
policy of protection.

WHAT EDITOR w. g., BOWEN SAYS:

"One Of the few republican members of the senate who voted against
the right Of Mormon Apostle Smoot tt a seat in that body was MI. Kilt
mand to recognize the Mormon establishment, because in his opinion, the
testimony proved that Mr. Smoot ought not to be a member of the senate.
'Mr. Kittredge is now in the midst of a contest in his W state for re
election and his active opponent is a faction of his W party and it ap-
money for campaign uses. His friends claim to have discovered that the
Salt Lake hierarchy is contributing generously to the defeat of Mr..
Kitredge.
This is not improbable. The church pursues those that oppose it with
the ndictive purpose Of the Danites Of old. It does not murde. in these
days, but it destroys in another way. It MARKS the ma of influence,
buys him if it IAN and If it cannot buy it defeats, if money and intrigue
can be made to accomplish that end.
"a SENATOR IS ALWAYS WORTHY OF HIS EFFORTS. IN ILL
NOIs THE HIERARCHY is SUSTAINING THE CAUSE OF SENATOR
HOPKINS WITH ALL THE INFLUENCE THAT CAN BE BROUGHT
TO BEAR. Mr.. HOPKINS WAS THE MAIN SPOKE IN THE sENA:
TORIAL WHEEL OF THE ADMINISTRATION MACHINE, INSISTING
THAT THE SENATE SHOULD IGNORE THE EVIDENCE AND SEAT
APOSTLE SMOOT. HIS CONSTITUENTS ARE DISPOSED TO RE-
TIRE HIM ON ACCOUNT OF HIS ACTIVITY IN BEHALF OF THE
CAUSE OF SHOOT, AND THE HIERARCHY HAS GONE TO HIS DE-
TENSE.
GIT Is NOT UNREASONABLE TO SUPPOSE THAT THE SAME
INFLUENCE WOULD OPPOSE THE REELECTION OF Mr.. KIT
FRIENDS 1T CAN SECURE IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE AND
OTHER HIGH PLACES, FOR THERE Is NOW BEFORE CONGRESS A
PROPOSITION FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, TO TURN
ALL POLYGAMISTS OVER TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE FED
ERAL AUTHORITIES, UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF A DUPLICATE
OF THE EDMUNDsTUCKER ACT, WHICH FILLED THE PENITEN-
TIARIES OF THE WEST WITH MANY TIMES MARRIED MORMON
CONvICTs IN TERRITORIAL TIMES.
"The hierarchy will defeat every senator and congressman who il not
its friend, if it can that it may saw the churchy poly amists from the
fate involved in the proposed constitutional amendment. It win pursue
Mr.. Kittredge, Of course, a freely a. it will help Mr.. Hopkins, and it

H. L. VIEW

Hon. II. l.. Loucks, the former popu-
list leader, in a recent Watertown 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 q 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,
twas 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 Gamble s 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-
,ents 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, oOO, 900 and $500, 600, 900 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 g 30
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
q national %revenue.'
Speaking of the continuation Of Sen
atOr Nelson g 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
Gamble!"

A Brilliant Victory for Mary,
land and Senator Rayner.

The prompt acceptance of Sen
ator John Walter Smith by the
United States is gra tifying, not
only to Mr.. Smiths personal
friends. but TO Marylanders gen
orally, because it is victory for
the State aud a vindication of
the Judgment of those who op
posed special session of the Leg
iSlature.
TIE seating of Senator Smith
was brought about by the mas
terly tight made by Senator Ray.
ncr. Mr.. Ray ner demanded that
the Senator elect be seated at
once, and denied the right of the
Senate to question the action of
the State of Mary and. Mr..
Burrows, Chairman of the Com
mittee of Privileges and Flee
tions, was determined to secure
the rejection of MIR. Smith upon
the technical ground that he was
elected on the second Tuesday
after the Legislature had been
notified Of the vacancy caused by
the death of Mr.. Whyte. Mr..
Rayner pointed out that the
Maryland Legislature had prac-
tically complied with the letter
of the Constitution and the Fed
eral statutes; but that even if it
had not elected the Senator on
the exact date, this would not be
sufficient ground for rejection, as
the intent OF the two weeks pro-
vision is merely to insure the reg
nlar organization OF the Legls
lature before the Senator Is
elected.
In his contentious Senator Bur
rows was supported by Messrs.
Lodge and Knox, two OF the most
members of the Sen
ate, and had behind him the
weight of the Republican major
ity. For four hours Senator Ray
ner contested with these leaders
in a debate thar enlisted the in-
tereSt Of the entire Senate. In
a brilliant speech he forced the
to take the defensive.
and at last the logic of his argu.
ments won over enough Repu bill
cans to insure the seating of the
new Senator.
Senator Rayner's victory is all
the more striking as it was won
against such odds. 1t must have
been gratifying to the Senior
Senator to be able to render his
'Olleagus such q signal service
iJ the very beginning OF Mr..
Smiths Senatorial career.
