Through the trees 30 gray and

Heralding old winters death.
Wrap him ia his frost white

Scatter snowdrops Ger his

Silent ruler, once 30 proud.
Gently lay him down TO rest.
There will be OF mourners three;
Each maiden chaste and fair.
Who will rue the stern decree,
And proclaim her hearts de-

March, with lamentations loud,
Binding. stormy tears will
For her erstwhile lover proud,
Numbered now among the

April, modest dewey eyed
Will her choicest tribute bring,
And in lily cups will hide
Tear drops for her sleeping

Ere she takes q last farewell,
Scatters she through oil the

Questions for State Auditor

lQue9o0nS tor State Auditor
Argus Leader.
In statement made in q Sioux
Falls newspaper on February
Goth, State Auditor Hirning at
tempts 10 show that taxes for
general state purposes are lower
in 1907 than they were in either
1903 or 1905. There are two or
three reasons why the state au.
ditor fails to prove his case.
He gives the state taxes en-
tended for the years given as
follows:
1903, $949,3i9.
1905, $87s.829.
1907, 81, 1O4.9l6.
OF the last item the state au.
ditor points out that 1924, ,975 is
for the twine plant, which leaves
but $779, $40 as the amount the
people will have to pay for cur.
rent expenses.
The weakness OF the claim of
the state auditor is manifest TO
anyone who goes through the
figures. The amount appropri'
ated by the last legislature for
state purposes was in round
numbers $2, 225, GOO. This in
cludes nothing for the twine
plant or for the new capitol.
The state auditor says that il
every penny Of the 1907 taxes
are paid the state will realize
for general state purposes the
sum of $779,94O. Thus in 1905
tile state will have to raise the
difference which amounts to
| 81, AS, O6O-less such sums IS
come from special sources, and
not directly out OF the tax. This
means that taxes for strictly
state purposes will be higher 10
1908 than they we're in 1907,
with nothing included for the
twine plant or the capitol. We
desire TO ask the state auditor il
this is not true? We desire to
ask him II the tax 10 be raised in
1903 for state purposes will not
be more than double the state
tar for 1905. We wish tn ask
him also ii il il not srue that for
. year the state will borrow
money at z per cent because
the legislature spent more than
the board Of assessment dared
to levy. We wish 70 ask him il
il - not true that the Crawford
Legislature spent 3725. 900 more
than the average appropriations
OF the three preceding legisla-
lures, and whether or not this
increase in expenditure can be
made without resulting ii a in
crease in taxation. The columns
Of The Argus-kader are open to
The stAte auditor for his reply.
