be used as a public park, is recommended
by the Commissioners, to whom Mr.
Scott referred the measure for their
opinion.
The price named in the bill for the pur-
chase Of the property is $4,000, which
sum the Commissioners consider made
quate, in view of the fact that there are
five houses upon the square which will
have to be condemned. The Commission
ers say this square could not be obtained
for less than $4,000. which sum they con-

SUPPLIED THE INFORMATION

The editor of the Arlington Sun
could not quite comprehend the
statement by the Sioux Falls Argus
Leader, concerning the increase
made in the axes Of the fai mer as
compared with thai of the railroads.
Here is what The Arlington San has
to say to the Areus-Leader 90 that
proposition:
The Argus-Leader says that "Mr
Crawford promised an equalization of
taxes. The outcome shows y \ X an
increase In taxes to the farmer which
in several cases amounts to more
than THIRTEEN times the Increase
placed up on the railrla S - LII the
Argus-Leader means to Intimate
that the rate of taxation l.. any case
In this state has heen Increased
thirteen times as much as + .lroad
taxes, the Argus-Leader deliberately
lies. If it does not mea to ultimate
this. it deliberately misleaGs its
readers. In either cast the Argus
Leader is guilty of a petty piece Of
chicanery which is unworthy Of /,
newspaper which is pretending 10
shape political opinion upon fair ana
reasonable grounds. The Argus
Leader is hereby asked TO explain
exactly what it means by the state
ment quoted above.
The Argus-Leader man DID not
back down on tie statement aud he
reiterates what be said in tile fist
place in the following, which.
seemingly, ought to satisfy the
Arlington Sun man, but in all prob
ability it will not:
We trust that our dear brother of
the Arlington Sun will not lose his
temper and get cross, bnu the Argus
Leader means exactly what it said.
as it usually does. For every dollar
OF increased taxes put upon the
railroads in this county for state pur-
poses, the farmers were called upon
to pay THIRTEEN dollars. In
other words the farmers were IN
CREASED In taxes for state purposes
thirteen times as much as the rail-
roads. We do not know how TO state
it any clearer The nervous e,,itur
Of the Sun may not understand this:
but the farmers In this county who
nay the taxes do, and IL they do not
take 1t out of Mr.. Crawfold;s hide
when June comes. it will be because
they are more forpiving than most
men. AS plain matter of fact the
farmers of the state we're played to a
fragile in state taxes, and they are
fast beginning to find it out. We
know Of three farmers in one town
ship In Beadle county, all Of whom
voted for Mr.. Crawford, befo:e and
all Of whom are against lin now
because of his broken promises. his
prodieal waste OF the public money
and his robbery Of the taxpayinv
