The state board of equalization
and assessment is now in session
and will be kept busy for the next
two weeks, making their annual
assessment of corporate property,
and equalization of other property
returned to them by the county
boards. AS corporate property
was given a good sized raise by
the board last year, and the furth-
er fact that at the next general
election the peopi@ of the state will
be given an opportunity to vote
on a diffeEe"f method of assess
ment of ssw property, it is not
likely 'i'S iNSrr will be any radi-
cal change ilfBuch assessments this
year, but just what the board will
do is not known. There will pro-
badly be a net increase in tele-
phone and bank valuations on ac-
count of the number of new tele-
phone lines erected the past year,
and the large number of new banks
which have been incorporated in
the state since the last assessment.
The real estate assessments though
will show the greatest increase on
account of changes in valuations,
and new lands brought under
taxation, and when the figures are
all in, the total assessment valua-
tion of the state for this year is
likely to be well above three
million dollars.

Land Hunger Great

People are b coming land crazy.
1t is beginning to dawn upon the
masses of the country that the
chance for the ordinary man to get
land is becoming more scarce. A
generation ago it was so easy to
get land that the majority of peo-
pie did not even think of trying.
Today it is different. Land is soon
to be owned by individuals. Then
the power of money will force the
price of land beyond the grasp of
the common man. 1t has always
been SO in all ages and in all coun-
tries. The masses may live easy
life as tillers, but they cannot hope
to become owners. The report of
the registration now going on in
the state of Washington shows
that the people are becoming
frantic for land q Over 100000
will try to win. Most of them
will lose. From the result there,
it is not to be doubted that 5OO,-
600 will try for the Standing Rock
and Cheyenne reservations, which
have more and better land than
the reservation now opened. 1t
is fair to presume that the rush to
this section will be something won
derful, even in the light of former
great land rushes.

The Dakota Democrat, the paper
which Granville Jones edits, has
some editorial concerning What
the republicans of South Dakota
will do with Geo. w. EganY"
George, you know, aspires to be
the republican gubernatorial
nominee in the next years cam
paign. Bro. Jones discusses Bro.
Georges aspirations at some
length, but we will pass them by.
The part of the editorial that
catches our eye is the following:
In the meantime, we wish to offer
a word of advice to democrats.
Keep out of republican rows and
attend to your own knitting. Demo
Gratis have no business in repub-
lican scrap and the republicans
have no business in ours. We
have business of our own to at
tend to, and the democratic party
cannot be built up by using it as q
tail to somebody's kite. There
has been too much of that in the
past. 1t is our business to study
the needs of our state in a patrio.
tic spirit. Keep closely organized
and be prepared at all times t<
give the state, should opportunit,
offer, wise and patriotic ad
ministration." Note the optimism
in the last sentence. The demo
Gratis are to be congratulated OF
their retention Of that doctrine
which enables them, at the YER,
moment Of defeat, to look forwart
70 the next battle with its yer,
ldim chanee Tor victory.

The corporation tax, in spite of
the twelve or fifteen reasons, given
by our exchanges, that it should
not be enacted, has got through
the conference committee after a
downward REVISION of SO per cent,
and will undoubtedly become a
law. Rather tough on the cor
porations that they must feel the
rough edge of the government
every little while, and then have
to support it financially.

Boost For the Fair

The promoters of the Central
Stanley County Fair Association
are putting forth their best
efforts in arranging for the fair,
which will be held September Z, 8
and 9, with the intention of sur
passing the successful festivals
held in Philip the last two years.
They are planning on Offering
some attractions of a more pre-
tentious nature than has ever been
attempted before in western South
Dakota.
The fair is but few weeks
away, and while the people of the
town are making extensive prepa-
rations, we are led to wonder how
many out through the country,
who should be represented here,
are making preparations for their
exhibit. It is time that stock was
being put in shape and plans made
for other kinds of exhibits. The
small grain will soon be ready for
harvest and if you have anything
which you consider excellent
samples of it should he saved and
placed on exhibition. The manag-
ers of the fair association need the
help of the people all through the
county, and encouragement as well
and it is also a good place to show
your friends and neighbors what
you are doing in the way of farm
ing. The more exhibits, the more
interest will be aroused.
Do your share of boosting for
the Central Stanley County Fair.

There's a new game out called
Tickle the editor" You take an
ordinary sheet of writing paper,
on which you pen a few lines
suitable for the occasion. Next
you fold it carefully, enclosing in
the fold banknote sufficiently
large to pay all arrearages and a
year in advance, and hand it to the
editor. Keep an eye on him and
if a smile adorns his face, the trick
works fine. 1t can also be played
by mail. The joke can be played
any time, day or night. We
would be willing to leave the bed
on a cool summers night to have
it tried on us.

Jay-Eye-See, the first horse to
trot in 2:lO, died the other day at
his home in Racine, Wis, at the
ripe old age, for a horse, of 80
years. Jay-Eye-See was another
exemplifcation of the truth that
you never can tell, from the az
pearance of q colt or a boy, how
far he will 60 when he attains his
horsehood or manhood. In his
early youth Jay-Eye-See was
slightly regarded, and it was only
by accident that his trainer dis
covered the metal of the young
animal. Many an ambitious young
colt who was looked upon as of far
greater promise than JAY -Eye-See
has ended his days in drawing a
dray, while the great racer, after
retiring from the track, lived a
pampered life for fourteen years
before the final summons came.

The people of South Dakota are
inclined to treat jocularly the mis-
take made by a Chicago newspaper
in ascribing the Christie murder
to hostile Indians, but at the same
time no effort should be omitted
to correct the ridiculous error, for
the reason that it might quite
easily mislead easterners who have
contemplated emigrating to the
northwest into believing that this
section is still too wild and
woody" for safety.
