RAILROAD TAXES INCREASED.

In one item of railroad taxes alone
the people of South Dakota will next
year begin realizing from the Craw.
ford administration at the rate of
100000 year, says the Sioux Falls
Press. The report of the state board
of assessment which recently held its
annual session at Pierre shows the
total railroad assessment of the state
to have been fixed at S2S,143,120
The 759 miles of new railroad, put
on the assessment rolls the past two
years, are not assessed as high as the
average. But, allowing for the new
mileage at the average assessment of
81 ,l52, fixed this year, their aggregate
valuation would be S5, 400, 900, leaving
an S8,000,000 increase in the assess
ment of the old lines. For this $1,000,
600 increase the Crawford adminstra-
ton must have full credit. The aver
age total levy in the various counties
of the state for 1906 was 24.S0. At
that rate the amount of taxes paid in
South Dakota by the railroads on the
mileage in existence when Crawford
came into office has been increased
100000.
As in all probability no succeeding
administration will have the effrontery
to reduce the railroad valuation, the
people will go on year after year re
alizing at the rate of 100000 annual
ly upon the two years of the Craw-
ford administration.

Mr.. Bryan thinks the democratic

The atten'io of Fred Wright, of
the De Smet Independent, is called to
the fact that Taft expressed himself
as against the guarantee of bank de-
posits in his speech of acceptance
He is therefore against the herepublican
platform in South Dakota, and must
be mugwump. The Independed
should read Mr.. Taft out of the
party. Brookings Press.
That's where the Press is wrong.
Taft is a good man and is needed as
president for the next four years. He
may not agree with the republican
party of this state on the question of
guaranteeing bank deposits, but he
will come to it after time.

AFTER all has been said, the real OBJ
ject of Andy Lee in running for gov
ernor is the hope that possibly some
disaffection may arise in the republi-
can ranks and that thereby he may
accidently step into the senate. At
the time Lee consented to make a
run for governor on the democratic
ticket there was being waged among
the republicans one of the bitterest
factional fights in the history of the
state. 1t looked good to the demo
crat. With the help of his imagina-
ton he could see a solid democratic
vote in November, assisted by the
defeated faction OF the republican
party lit was sure winner, in his
mind. But the situation changed; the
democrats got into fight of their
own, and the republican primaries re-
suited in both factions having good
representation on the ticket and the
warning factions of the party uniting.
There is no hope for Lee, either for
governor, or the senate. If the situa-
tion had existed earlier in the season

A PURE GOODS BILL" is one of the
latest propositions looking toward the
suppression of spurious merchandise
of all kinds. This proposition is along
the line of the pure food law, which
is working to such a great success,
but would, if made law, apply to all
manufactured articles. 1t seeks to
compel the manufacturer to label
his goods and tell on the label exactly
what it is composed of. 1t is great
undertaking, but it can be done, and
would be of incalculable value to the
consumers of the country. For instance
the manufacturer of suit of clothes
would be compelled to label his pro-
duct, tell of what it was made, if half
wool and half cotton, the label must
tell the story. If it happened to be
paint, the label must say how much
lead, oil. and other ingredients. Suck
law would pr tect the consumer. He
would get what he paid for 1t would
put an end to all kinds of fraud now
being practiced upon the public along
the line of adulteration of merchan
disc. The bill is being prepared, and
will be introduced in congress by
Hull, of Iowa. Such a measure de
serves unanimous support.

EPIGRAMS.
AGRICULTURE.

From Sunday Sermon by Rev. II. Preston
Questions of character and conduct
as they arise here in this world are
within the reach of our understand
ing; but the question of final destiny
is one which we can never solve in re-
gard to any one. We must leave
that to the justice and mercy of God.
How strange it is. and yet how
common, for the father to desire a
character and destiny for his son diff
ferent from his own. The man of war
desires his heir TO be man of peace,
How strange it is, and yet how near
ly inevitable, that the fathers sins
should entwine themselves with the
child that he loves best.
Wisdom is greater than riches Of
fame, because it is the fountain of
both. Some men crave wealth, some
power, forgetting that without wisdom
they cannot be used to advantage.
An understanding mind, the ability
to discriminate between the good and
the bad among men and causes and
enterprises, is certainly most val
uble possession.
A clean and pure mind, this is the
noblest choice. Wisdom is good, but
holiness Of character is as far above
wisdom as Christ is above the philos-
ophers Of earth.

IT looks as if Secretary Cortelyou
had more in his head than a liberal
supply of gentle zyphers. Realizing
that the time had come when, with
the movement of crops, ETC., there
might be applications for emergency
currency, and that some of the secur-
ity offered was likely to be railroad
bonds, the real motive behind the
abortion of an emergency currency
law, and not wanting to be responsible
for the disastrous results that might
follow, he attempted to gain some re-
liable information as to the actual
worth of various railroads, which
would determine the value of the
bonds. He went to the interstate
commerce commission, but that body
had to confess its ignorance. Cortel
you is right in deciding to ask the
interstate commerce commission for
information before accepting such
bonds. OF course, that practically
bars railroad bonds, for before there
can be any definite information rela-
tive to their actual value accumulat
ed, through official channels, the
em lrgency will have passed. The
whole thing reflects credit upon the
secretary, and brings out the absurd
ity of the emergency law.

ONE of the arguments against in
suring deposits is based on the state.
ment that in the 43 years of national
banks the loss TO depositors was only
$2.l7 per 500 of deposits and, there
fore, the loss being so trfing, the
deposit security plan is needless. An
other argument of the opponents is
that it is impossible to create deposit
guaranty fund large enough to meet
the demands that would be made
upon it. There seems to be a trih-
ing inconsistency in these two argu-
ments If the loss was SO little in
these years it would not require much
of a fund, far smaller one than the
Fowler bill proposes, to prevent all
loss and to insure against the fear of
loss that spreads panics out of banks
into the industries. Sionx City Trib
