VERY IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Eating I1nsound Corn Caused PelIa.
II gra, Common Among Negroes.

Z Milan, italy, July 16.-An Ameri-
can physician, James Woods Bah
cock, superintendent of the State
Hospital for the Insane at Columbia,
S. c., has succeeded in solving the
question which has been under in
vestigation for long time as to
whether the disease pellagra, COM
mon among the peasants in Italy and
the south of Europe, exists in the
United States. DR.. Babcock, who has
been, aided in his researches by the
Italian authorities has proved that
the Italian pellagra and disease
common in the Southern States hav-
ing almost identical symptoms, are
one and the same.
The disease pellagra, which is
also called Italian leprosy, Alpine
scuryy and Asturian rose, is accom-
panied by reddening of the skin and
sometimes a hypotrophy of the skin
and marked mental symptoms, and
1t is said to be caused by poisonous
maze taken as food. 1t is thought
that his discovery may lead to gov
ernment inspection of corn in the
United States.

mile several years ago. Kittredge
was in the employ of the railroads for
a great many years and he might as
well save his time and wind by admit
ting the fact. And his attitude in the
senate in regard to the rate regulation
bill, the amendment to that bill provid-
ing for determining the physical value
of railroads for the purpose of giving
the interstate commission basis up
on which to determine the business of
rates, which amendment he voted
against, and his proposition to make
theprivate car line companies common
carriers, and thus give the appearance
of legality to their holdup ofshippers,
makes most people believe that he is
yet in sympathy with, if not in the
actual employ of, such interests.

AT his address at Centerville Kit
tredge demanded that Taft delegates
from this state be men who are of
more than a few weeks standing for
Taft, probably having in mind that
himself and few friends are the only,
Taft people worth mentioning. IF
this were true, Kittredge would still
stand somewhat in the light of come.
dian when it is remembered that since
his Mitchell speech few weeks ago
he is trying to ride into the senate on
2 cent passenger fare law after all
these years of fighting the people in
their effort to control the railroads.

senatorial fight in this state, it prac-
tically determines the victory of Craw-
ford over Kittredge. 1t shows, too,
that there has been no change in the
minds of the republicans of this state
and that they are as much opposed to
the Kittredge machine as they ever
were. 1t is also a good indication of
how the state will go at the June pri-
maries for the nomination of the
county and state tickets. However,
it must not be imagined that the
fight is ended. The machine Will
double their efforts from now until
the June primaries. The old bunch
that has been pried loose from
office will leave no stone unturned in
their effort to get back into the sad
die. The hottest and dirtiest cam
paign ever witnessed in South Dakota
is now on.

ton being the lowest Thus we find
the fact is exactly opposite to the
claim of the machine press.
The reader will see from the tabu-
lated statement that the county tax
is Sl7, ,502.l2 higher in 1907 than in
1905, a fact for which the county COM
missioners are responsible so far as
the making of the levy is concerned,
although we do not attempt to say
that their levy was unreasonable and
not in accordance with the needs of
the county. The township, school
and city taxes have also been greatly
increased 1t is these local levies that
have increased the taxes. If you take
your tax receipt you will need to do
little figuring yourself to find what
part of the money you pay is state
tax as the state and county tax are
punched. The amount of the levy
is given, however, and you can figure
it from that. A careful study of the
tabulated statement will give you
little light on the subject which the
machine press have been careful not
to show. Every tax payer should
study this for himself.

THAT TAX MATTER.

Much has been said by the machine
press relative to the 1907 taxes. The
total amount of the consolidated tax
is higher than in former years, and
this has been used by the machine in
their endeavor to discredit the re-
publican administration in this state.
Every man who knows enough to
accumulate property to be taxed
knows that the state administration
is responsible for three things in con
nection with the taxes, viz: the equal.
ization of values as between the diff
ferent counties, the assessment of the
property of public service corpora
tions, such as railroads, telegraph and
telephone lines, express and sleeping
car companies, and for the levy of the
tax going into the state fund. Futher,
every such man knows that the various
county funds are levied by the county
commissioners, the township tax by
the township authorities, the school
tax by the various school officers and
the city and town or village taxes by
the authorities of those municipalities.
For 1907 there was special tax for
the state twine plant, which was vot
ed direct by the people. For this
fund no set of officers, either county
or state, are responsible. 1t is pre-
sumed that the people are anxious to
pay the special tax or they would
not have voted it.
The enemies of the administration
have attempted to induce COM
parison of the 1907 taxes with those
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1908-03-13
INSURGENTS WIN

The returns received from the pri-
maries held Tuesday show that the
progressive republicans will control
the state convention by majority of
about go. Out Of 80 counties holding
primaries the stalwarts only carried
six. In some of these counties, as
Brown for instance, the vote was very
close, and it was only the vote in the
cities and towns that saved them.
According to the way the political
game is played nowadays, the pro-
gressives had no right to expect to
control this convention. The pro-
gressives had failed to perfect an or
ganization as they should, and failed
to secure an issue with a fuss and fury
attachment. They simply allowed
the stalwarts to gather and use the
political thunder by first using the
name of Taft. The progressives were
for Taft, but the stalwarts claimed
the issue.
The result of Tuesday, obtained
under the great handicap of 100 ap.
pointed stalwart delegates, shows
that the people are still for reform
and that they believed that the Taft
issue of the stalwarts was simply a
cloak to cover Kittredge, which has
been true from the first. While this
state convention does not end the

That statement made by Kittredge
that he was never an attorney or
lobbyist for railroad or any other
corporation is boomerang. Nearly
everyone knows that the records of
the secretary of state show that Kilt
redge was recorded by the Milwaukee
railroad as their attorney and resident
agent in this state, and that the re-
cords show that Kittredge continued
such relations with that railroad for
five or six years after he went to the
senate. His friends have tried to ex-
plain this by saying that it was mere
matter of form, that he was only act
ing as an agent upon whom legal
service might be made, such an agent
being required by law. This explana-
tion is of doubtful value when we
remember that Kittredge was in Wash
ington, that for all concerned an agent
residing within the state at all times
would be greater convenience. The
attempt to explain this, connection
with the Milwaukee road has led his
political enemies to dig up the records
and they find that in 1900 he appear
ed before the state board in behalf of
the Milwaukee and Great Norhern
railroads, and yet he says he never
was an attorney or lobbyist for any
railroad. The U. S. supreme court
report, page 172, shows Mr.. Kittredge
as the leading attorney for the rail
roads in fighting the reduction in
passenger fare from to 3 cents per

following shows paid by class of property:

of 1906. This, of course, is no com
parison at all. The 1907 state tax,
outside of the special levy, was one
third for deficiency purposes, to pay
debts left by the last machine ad,
ministration. The machine have
advised everyone to "look at your tax
receipt" and we advise everyone to
do so, but be sure to look long enough
to find where the tax goes.
A study of the tax figures for 1907
gives the lie to the attempt of the ma.
chine to place the responsibility of
the high tax with the state admins
tration.
That our readers may Judge for
themselves we print elsewhere on this
page comparative statement of the
total tax of Kingsbury county for the
last three Legislative year, 1905, 1906,
and 1907, showing the amount of state
tax each year, the county, township.
school and other levies. As we have
said before, every fair mined man will
admit that the state tax is the only
tax for which the administration il
responsible. These figures will be
found at the top of each column of
the recapitualation and show that the
state tax has decreased each legisla-
tive year for the last three, that of
