RED AND BLACK.

The Red and Black. is the title OF
the Salt Lake City High school organ.
and the magazine is conducted on the
general lines of the others. It's first
number was published in 1885, and 1t
mas appeared each month since,
q souvenir commencement number be-
ing issued each spring, with all the
departments of the school represented
in pictures and articles, The special
features including the graduating class,
athletics so2ial. etc, with stories and
poems ntcrspersed. All copy for the
magazine is submitted for approval to
PRINCIPAL Eaton, that nothing. harms
ful nor offensive may appear in it's
pages. Prizes are awarded each month
for the best articles written by the
students. The editor and manager are
chosen from the senior class and they
in turn choose their staff from all
classes. Each class has its reporter,
and the faculty, teachers and in fact
all connected with the institution have
representation in the journal.
The Ogden High school is represent
ed in a magazine called the Classlcum,

the military camps, and meaning

The journal had it's beginning in the
efforts of Ernest Spencer OF Ogden
who set up his own type and himself
printed the magazine. 1t was then in
leaflet form with only two or four
pages, and is now a much more pre-
tentious pamphlet and has printed its
eleventh volume. Its promoter has
since become creditably known IN Og-
den journalism, a result, doubtless of
his early ability and enterprise The

KITTREDGE AN HONEST MAN
Tribute to Senator Kittredge's
Ability, Worth and Honesty by -.
- Q Former Well Known Populist 49,

The continued misrepresentation Of
the attitude of Senator A. b. Kittredge,
by the Sioux Falls Press, the subsized
organ of the state administration, does
not seem to be meeting with the sue
cess that was hoped for by the insurgent
leaders.
DIR. T. NJ. Stewart, of Beresford, Un-
ion County, an old time populist who
served in the state senate with Mr..
Kittredge in 1891, feels constrained to
offer a public rebuke 70 this method
of political warfare. Senator Stewart,
writing 10 the Sioux Falls Argus-Lead.
er of March 81, characterizes these at.
tacks as contemplate, and after show.
ing that Senator Kittredge's record
has been repeatedly wrongfully assured
by the newspaper organs Of insurgency
DR.. Stewart concludes with this fine
tribute to the manhood and worth Of
the senator:
Now as to my personal knowledge
of Senator Kittredge he is honest,
truthful, and a man of great ability.
His word is as good as his bond. and
whenever | had a measure that he
could consistently as a republican sup
port, and promised that he would do so.
I never had to put him in mind Of 1t
the second time. The promised help
was always Forthcoming.
He has recently told me that he
considers himself, while senator Of
the United States from South Dakota,
a servant of the people Of his state,
and as such he will labor to enact any
law that he is satisfied that the majority
Of the people of the state he repres
euts desire, and from my previous at
fliation and knowledge of the man and
his integrity, I know that he will do
so, even though he was in opposition
to me in party complexion. / believe
in him just as firmly as I would as
opinion in all respects.
New, as there Is no peoples party
organization to my knowledge in the
state of South Dakota, i desire TO put
myself on record in support Of an
honest man to succeed himself In Of
fee, upon the splendid record which
he has made, and of which the state
Of South Dakota ought to feel proud,
and / shall do all I can. honestly AMI
honorably. to further the interests Of
the people by his election.

made by the Legislature of 1907 was
S230,994. Compared with the appro-
priations for the same offices by the
legislature of 1908, we find that the in
crease is $40,024, the total for 1905 be-
ing Sl90,970. For maintenance of the
state institutions the Legislature of 1905
appropriated 1868 $50. while the legis-
lature of 1907 appropriated for this
purpose $1,170.00 an increase of 1902.
$50. This was the result of political
deals made with the legislative mem
bers from institution counties to secure
their allegiance to the machine and
their support to Senator Gamble. For
legislative expenses the legislature of
1905 spent $65, 225.70 (See Chapter 10,
Session Laws l9O5) while the legis-
'ature of 1907 spent for this purpose
s96,6sl.l5. (See Chapter Is, Session
Laws of 1907 an increase of $3l, ABS.
As. Thus it goes all down the list.
There is no legitimate excuse for this
great increase in appropriations, and it
simply stamps the administration with
that same incompetence which the peo-
pie rebuked in 1896 and again in 1900
when the old Crawford Tylor machine
and their present cohorts were retired
from power in this state.
Deficiency Levies for 1907 and 1908.
While the state tax is higher for
1907 than for 1906, yet the state board
did not levy but three mills, although
the full limit allowed by the state con-
stitution would not be sufficient to pro-
vide revenue to meet the appropria-
tions. The legislature was informed on
this point and passed law authorizing
the full deficiency levy in both 1907
and 190s-two years successively, the
irst time deficiency levy has been
necessary two consecutive years to pay
the running expenses Of the state. The
state board did not dare to levy the

unorganized rabble Of office-seekers.
The legislature convened and began to
dip into the state treasury to reward
the henchmen Of the movement and in
trench the leaders with a machine at
the expense of the tax payers. Some
grand stand plays were made in the
way of legislation but nothing sub.
stantial was accomplished to reduce the
burden of the people. Instead they
were increased by appropriations ex-
ceeding the appropriations of the 1908
legislature by $65o,oOo, and this sum
does not include anything for the Irvine
plant at the penitentiary or for the new
capitol. The first year Of the new adj
ministration levied taxes of more than
twice as much as for the year 1906,
and exceeding by $155,0o0 the state tax
OF 1908, when a heavy tax was levied
to pay bonds and interest. In defend
ing the high state tax of 1907 the Craw-
ford machine often calls attention to
the tax of 1903, but to show the diff.
ference between tax to pay debts and
one to reward political henchmen we
will give below an illustration of the
difference between the prudence of the
1908 administration and the lavish ex-
travagance of the Crawford machine.
