The Pierre Dakotan argues that
the increased attendance at our
state educational institutions since
Elrod's administration has been
45 percent while the expense OF
main tanning the schools has in
creased only Al percent, therefore
they must now be managed very
economically. While the charge
of extravaganza has not been di-
rected so much at the management
of state institutions as at other
lines, yet if these statements are
true a criticism might justly lie
there also. No sane person would
maintain that an increase of 45
per cent in attendance at a school
would necessarily increase the cost
OF its maintenance anywhere near
that same ratio.

are many districts whose school
officers and patrons are seriously
considering the lengthening OF the
school term for the coming year.

girls of these districts.
1t is to be noted that trees have
been planted on the grounds of
Jones school, No. Is, in charge Of
Miss Julia Stark; Klinkner, No.

Vlasak, No. 81, in charge of Misa

dicate that these are the first trees
that have been planted on these
grounds. These teachers and their
pupils are deserving of much cred
it for the very good start they have
made.
A large roll-top teachers desk, a
revolving chair and seven very fine
framed pictures have been added
to the equipment Of Pfugraph
school, No. 70. Miss Frances
Minnich who is in charge of this
school is doing very creditable
work. Plattner district has con-
tracted with her for the coming
year for an eight months term.
The schools of the county have
responded in a splendid manner to
the Beadle fluid. The amount ap
portioned to this county was $117. :
56. A considerable sum more than
this quota has been raised. Many
of the schools offered to give much
more than the amonnt credited to
them. Had we accepted all that
was offered our contributions would
have exceeded $3.50.

1t appears that Scotland is to be
visited this season by several
"booster" delegations from neigh
boring manufacturing and whole
sale centers. Two of them have
already announced their intention
of coming. The frstis from Oma-
ha, and says:
One hundred Omaha capitalists,
wholesalers and manufacturers will
make tour through South Dako-
ia and northern Nebraska May Is
to May 25 on a special train. The
route includes stations on the line
of the Milwaukee from Yankton to
Canto; on the Platte line; from
Elk Point to Mitchell I; from Mitch
ell to Rapid City. From the Black
Hills country the party will return
over the Northwestern line, stop
ping al practically every station in
Nebraska.
While out to boost wholesale
and manufa sturing business of
Omaha, these parties have proved
great boosters IN the past for the
cities and towns which they visit,
carrying as they do moving picture
cameras, a number of newspaper
and magazine writer's who never
fail to sent in boosts for every
town and city. They investigate
every opportunity and resource OF
the communities they visit, have
been known to spend hours look
ing over live stock, piles of wool,
prize grains and city improve
ments. The cities and towns they
will see on this trip will be full Of
interest to business men and bank
ers.
The second is from Milwaukee
and in their announcement they
say:
Local merchants are now for
mulating plans for the entertain
ment of the large delegation of
Milwaukee jobbers and mannfac-
turers which will arrive in our city
Wednesday, June s, at 8 9:55 A. M.
and remain until 9 As A. M. The
special train of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, con-
sisting of nine coaches and bring
ing one hundred representatives Of
Milwaukee business firms will leave
Milwaukee on June 6 and travel
through South Dakota over ssllise sslise
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
road. Stops will be made at all of
the principal points enroute where
the Milwaukee business men will
visit the local merchants in the in
terests of the Milwaukee firms
which they represent.
In addition to the business fea-
lures of the trip the Milwaukee
men bring with them several inter
esting features for the entertain
ment of their hosts. The famous
Merchants and Manufacturers AS
sociation Octette is one of the most
remarkable singing organizations
of their city. Composed of eight
male voices their repertoire en-
braces everything from the old "a
miliar selections of the home to
the more classical selections of
well Known composers. The sue
cess Of this organization on pre-
vious excursions lends added in
terest to the feats which they prom
ise to perform this year. In ar
ranging for the entertainment of
the Milwaukee business men no
lunches or dinners will be provided
at cities enroute as the time of the
merchants is so economically ar
ranged as to provide for all meals

There Is a Difference.

The campaign of education now
being conducted to get our people
to realize the importance of giving
the preference III their purchases
to Washington institutions should
bear fruit. 1t should be borne III
mind, however, that buying of
Washington agents for foreign in
stitutions is not building up Wash
ington enterprises. Especially
should this be remembered in our
buying insurance. Next to bank
ing the matter of fire insurance eff
feCts our finances more than any
other one thing. The amount now
sent out of the state to foreign in
suranCe companies exceeds the a
mount returned in losses by more
than six million dollars of this re-
turned in commissions. What eff
feet would it have upon our own
finances if the other five million
dollars were retained in the state
through Washington CompanieS'
Already fully two million dollars
of insurance has been retained
within the state through the Mort h
western Mutual Fire Association.

Kittitas County's Portion

OLYMPIA, Sept. 27.-Kittitas
county must pay S79,325 state tax
this year instead of $50, 962 levied
by the state for 1909. This is the
result of the determination of the
State Board of Equalization to cut
the state tax levy to the last posi-
bic point. 1t could not reduce the
state tax for schools and for high
ways, because those are fixed by
the legislature The State Board
hopes that The tax PAYERS will see
that the county commissioners next
month reduce the county levy and
that city councils will reduce the
city levy, because i'll no other way
will it be possible TO accomplish
what the tax payers are demand
ing, a reduction in taxation.

THE NEXT SENATE
MAY POSSIBLY
VERY DEMOCRATIC

There are some interesting spec
ulations being INDUCED i'll as to the
prospect of loss of control OF the
limited States senate, as result OF
the election in November next. a
careful review of the situation
shows. however, that the prospect
Is extremely remote. 1t is no more
than a barely possible contingency.
As at present constituted, the
senate consists of fifty eight repub-
licans and thirty-four democrats.
The legislatures which are to be
elected in November will elect
thirty senator's to take the place OF
those now in Office. Of the sena-
tors whose terms expire, twenty
four are republicans and FIVE demo-
Gratis. Admitting that the demo-
Gratis will hold all of their seats,
and that is open to doubt i'll but
one case, that of Senator Frazier,
of Tennessee, they will have to
capture the legislatures of thirteen
states now in the republican col
umn in order to win control of the
senate as result of the elections
this year. What are the chances
to do so?
California, Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Yer
mont, Rhode Island, Utah, Wash
ington, Wisconsin and Wyoming
are almost certain to remain i'll the
republican column. the demo-
Gratis have a fighting chance, or
better, to carry the legislatures Of
Delaware, Indiana, Missouri, Mon
tana, Nebraska nd Nevada
There is a possibility, hardly
probability, that the democrats may
also carry New Jersey, New York,
Ohio and West Virginia.
Conceding to the democrats all
of the states in which there is a
possibility of success, the utmost
that can be figured Out is gain to
the democrats of ten seats. This
would leave the republicans with a
majority of two; that is, counting
lnsurgent senators as members of
the republican party. The major
ity would be too slim to count out
very positively. The better esti-
mate points to, a fair probability of
the democrats gaining four or five
seats and no more. -P.-I.

the several county boards act the
same way when they meet next

board of equalization today all
nounced that the state general fund
levy had been fixed at 2. mills, as
against 5 mills last year, and the
military levy at Is of mill as
against 20 last year. Laws passed
by the legislature made mandatory
levy Of mill, or $500, 247 for
highways and made mandatory on
The board also levy to provide $40
for each census child, but revenuc
from school lands and school fund
investments have increased so a
direct levy Of 2.l8 mills as against
$50 mills last year is all that the
board levied last year for schools.
The aggregate state levy is 5.43
mills as against 90 mills last year
and the total taxes to be paid by
the counties has been cut to 81,
922,926 from S., 295, S12 last year,
The state board of tax commits
sioncrs fixed valuations of operat-
ing properties Of steam railroads
at SlOO,l5I75+, about So, 600, 600
more than last year; OF electric
lines at S57, $50, 800 as against

scsscd valuations of all property in
the state is 5000, PAT ,944, all in
crease of SO, S29,ll is over last year.
The total actual value of all prop
