LEGISLATIVE EXTRAvAGANCE AND TAXATION

Sec. l. That at the next general
election in this state the following
amendment to Article XII of the
constitution of the State of South
Dakota, which is hereby agreed to,
shall be submitted to the electors
Of the state for their approval.
That Article XII of the constitu-
tion Of the State of South Dakota
be amended to read as follows:
Sec. I. The Legislature shall pro-
vide for raising sufficient revenue
to defray. the ordinary expense Of
the state by an annual tax, as near

practicable. And for the purpose
Of paving the public debt, the leg
islaturs shall provide for levying
q tax annually sufficient to pay the
annual interest and principal Of
such debt within ten years from the
final passage of the law creating
the debt.
In other words, they want the only
barrier to unrestricted taxation thrown
down so that the state board NAV levy
any sum necessary to meet legislative
extravaganza without going through the
form of legislative authorization. Ar.
ticle XII which it is proposed to amend,
limits the levy to two mills for general
purposes and two mills for deficiencies,
the latter to be specifically authorized
by legislative enactment.

Condition Of Treasury Jan. I, 1907.
When the state was turned over to the
administration of Jan. /, 1907,
there was not a dollar Of bonded debt,
and the tax levy Of 1906 was but two
mills, and it had been the hope and ex.
pectation Of the men who brought this
about, that the state would never again
be forced to levy a tax exceeding that
amount. Jan. l, 1907, the condition of
the state finances was as follows:

AS already stated, the net debt of the
state, not taking into account taxes due

Gov. Stuart's Story.

Gov. Stuart, of Pennsylvania, ap.
proaches public speaking with diff
dence. This feeling never left him,
despite his four years as mayor of
Philadelphia. However, his long and
hard gubernatorial campaign gave him
greater confidence in himself and to-
day he makes strong and powerful
public address. But he never attempts
even a short address without first re-
ferring to the fact that he is not an
orator, and thus prepares his audi.
ence for a surprise. The other day,
Introducing himself to the students at
Pennsylvania State college, he told this
story:
There was a loquacious Scottish
dominic who always had something to
say to his parishioners. 1t was rainy
Sunday. Mrs. Mcpherson found her

MAKING AND LOSING FRIENDS.
Reflective Man Points Out Fault of the
People of To-day.

I'm not SO sure" observed the doc
tor refectively, as lie watched the
smoke curl upward from his cigar,
Lat We Americans are not neglecting
one Of the most important of the arts
the art of making friends. 1t
wouldn't do anybody a bit of harm to
take half an hour off and sit down to
go over the accessions to his friends
within the past year or so. Incident
ally, he might reflect on what he has
done in the way Of keeping up old
friendships. 1t seems to me that peo-
pie drift apart very quickly nowadays.
Absorption in business Is one factor
making for this end; another is the
growing disinclination to keep up any
soI f correspondence, and a third Is
tShdency, increasing as the years
go by, to let ones personal interest
become more centered. All of these
things initiate against the making of
new friends, as well. as helping to
loosen the bonds holding the old ones.
The fault" he concluded, isn't in the
people whom we meet; it's in our
selves, and we might as well realize
It, Let us look for likable qualities;
and not the reverse. There is such a
thing as being too cautious about our
acquaintances, and thus shutting our.
selves ON from much pleasure and
profit"

She Could Do az Mrs. Brown.

Young Mabel had a habit when soup
was served at the table Of "mushing''
her crackers or bread in it until It
was a great mess. Her mother made
many efforts to have her correct this
strictly primeval habit.
One day there was to be company
at the table and the mother said:
Nov, Mabel, Mrs. Brown is to dine
with us tonight, and want you to act
at the table iust as nicely as she does.
Please don't 'mush' your SOUP"
Mabel promised faithfully to follow
the example set by Mrs. Brown and

DANGERS OF sEoENTAaY LIFE.
English Physician Points Out Positive
Necessity for Exertion. .....

A very good illustration of the dan
gers attending a sedentary life is
given by Sir William Grove, who OBJ
served the effects Of activity and in.
activity on animals. He says:
ITO keep itself healthy, it must ex.
ert Itself for its food; this, and per.
haps the avoiding its enemies, gives
1t exercise and care, brings all it's
organs into use. and then it acquires
its most perfect form of life. 1 have
witnessed this effect myself, and that
is the reason why / choose the rabbit
as an example. An estate in Somer-
setshirs. which I once took temporari-
ly, was on the slope of the Mendip
hills. The rabbits on one part of it,
VIZ, that on the hillside, were in per-
feet condition, not too fat, nor too
thin, sleek, active and vigorous and
yielding to their antagonists, my fam
lily, excellent food. Those in the val
ley, where the pasturage was rich and
luxuriant, were all diseased, most of
them unfit for human food, and many
lying dead on the fields. They had
not to struggle for life, their short
life was miserable, and their death
early; they wanted the sweet uses Of
adversity-that is. of antagonism."

ALASKA.

The following is from an address de- livered by the Honorable James J. God frey, at the second annual banquet of the Washington State Mining Associa- tion; at Seattle:
 Speaking of Alaska's early develop ment; it is more or less shrouded in doubt, but the first authentic informa- tion that we have with reference to finding gold in Alaska came in the year 1863, at the time of the gold. ex- citement in the Stickine river, near the extreme point of Southeastern Alaska, and as the river flowed down through into British Columbia this excitement died out almost immediately. The next chapter in Alaska's development comes in the year 1881, when Richard T. Harris and Joseph B. Juneau found gold at what is known as Gold Creek, near where stands today the magnifi- cent city of Juneau, the capitol of Alaska. A few months prior to this gold discovery quartz discovery was made by a Frenchman on Douglas

 When you consider that Alaska has all these resources and possibilities and has yielded so much absolutely unassisted by any one. save 8 few rag ged prospectors, having no railroads or communication in any way and has never received any assistance from the goVernm ent, the immense poss bIities of what this great. empire could pro- duce when the magic wand of mans endeavor is applied to her Is. almost, beyond description and certainly defss reaIi3ation at this range
 This brings us to toneider what TIT aif pro bability does the future hold foE this wonderlandS The answer IS un- equivocally that Alaska must either receive aid from the Federal Govern ment so it's immense resources may be opened up or that it must receive q charter from the United States Con gress as a federal territory, SO that 1t may organize and later on become an independent state. When statehood comes the natural geographical divis- ions will then be observed and we will find Alaska divided into three states, that the southeastern portion of Alaska will be known as one state, the State of Juneau, after the grand old French man who first discovered gold there, having it's capitol city at Juneau, the present capital of all Alaska, and that the other portion located on the north western border of that great district and famous for the gold fields of Nome will be formed into the state of Seward, in order that the lustre and renown which properly attaches to the acquis- ition of this great empire shall perpet- uate history the name of William H. Seward, probably the greatest Secre- tary of State out of sll the great men who have held that position in this United States.
 The third division of Alaska as it now stands will probably retain the original name given to this vast area of territory and be known as the State Of Alaska, with it's capital at Fairbanks or at Valdez, both of which are thriving communities now and which ID few short years, possibly in ten maybe in less, will be large and thriving cities Then, and not until then, will Alaska take her place in the forefront of nations, the position to which she IS very properly entitled, and, as ex-Gov- ernor Richards of Idaho has properly remarked, "She is the nations treasure vault" If all the gold and silver mines throughout the United States were all to fail at once Alaska could supply the whole United States with specie money and then have liberal share left.
 Therefore, it behooves every person who resides in the northwest, and par ticularly in Seattle, to assist any meas ure that may be presented to Congress for the amelioration of the Alaska peo- pie, and in the coming convention of the Northwest Mining Men you will find that Alaska will be strongly rep- resented and will eadeavor to work with her shoulder to the wheel to as- sist the northwestern states from be- ing robbed by the greedy railroad cor porations and smelter trusts through out the country.
