Inheritance Tax Advocated.

In the making of a tariff bill the
prime motive is taxation and the Sc,
curing thereby of revenue. Due
largely to the business depression
which followed the financial panic or
1907, the revenue from customs and
other sources has decreased to such
an extent that the expenditures for
the current fiscal year will exceed the
receipts by $1O0,OOo,O0O. 1t is impera-
tive that such deficit shall not con
tinue, and the trainers of the tariff
bill must of course have in mind the
total revenues likely to be produced by
II and so arrange the duties as to Sc
cure an adequate income. Should 1t be
impossible to do so by import duties
new kinds CT taxation must be adopt
ed, and among these I recommend
graduated inheritance tax as correc'
in principle and as certain and easy of
collection.

Land Assessment Raised

The county auditors of the state
were in session at Pierre during
the past week. After general
discussion of real estate values a
committee composed of the COVER
nor and seven auditors were ap-
pointed to revise the real estate
values. The committee reported,
with an increase running from 10
per cent. in some counties up to
SO per cent. in others, with an
average of probably 20 per cent.
general increase. Practically all
other schedules were left as valued
last year, except pianos and
organs, which were reduced. The
assessment OF Stanley county land
is to be raised from three dollars
to three dollars and twenty five
cents per acre. This lets Stanley
county landhoIdcrs off easy.

Bowen Gets Eight Years

The trial of Aurelius Bowen for
the murder of Katherine kille was
concluded at Highmore last week.
The jury after deliberating twenty
four hours brought in verdict of
manslaughter in the first degree.
The penalty for this crime as
prescribed by statute is not less
than four years and may be = life
sentence in the pentitentiary. The
Judge sentenced the defendant to
the state penitentiary for term
of eight years. Thus closes one
of the most dramatic criminal
cases in the history Of the state.
Katherine kille, a young home
steader. was murdered in her
shack seyen miles south of Fort
Pierre on the night of December |.
1907. On the day preceding the
murder. Sunday. she had at
tended religious services at a
neighboring school house. The
evening was spent with friends at
the home of a neighbor. Late at
night she was taken to her home
by her escort, a Mr.. Hostettler.
A fire was started and lunch pre-
pared. Later a second young man
stopped at the shack on his way
home. Then a brother of the
young lady was at the house for a
short time before going to his own
shack on the adjoining claim.
About four o'clock in the morning
the escort also went home. first
stopping at the home of the
brother for few minutes. AS he
rode over the hill in the distance
he looked back and saw light
still burning in the young lady's
shack. Next morning Miss Kille
was found by her brother dead on
the floor of her house, bullet
through her brain.
Bowen, who had not figured in
the events Of the preceding day,
except that he was seen hanging
about the Kille place several times
by various parties, was immediate
ly suspected. He had been a
suitor of the young woman, had
made several proposals of marri-
age, and had been rejected. He
was also known to have made
threats. On the morning after
the murder he showed up at the
| home of farmer neiphbOr and
