Equalization: The law recurring

erty as returned by the counties but
not authorizing the board to 20 into

OF great injustice being done to in
dividuals. and makes the innocent
suffer for the guilty. I am informed
that in n county of the state the
banks Of one city refused to list the
undivided profits for taxation, while
other banks in the same county had
them listed. In comparing the re-
turns of bank stock in this particu-
lar county with the returns on the
same class from other counties. the
board found 1t necessary to raise
bank stock ten per cent. Thus the
banks that had listed their undivided
profits with the assessor had to be un-
justly raised in order to reach those
that had not done so. In order to
cover such cases as mentioned above.
the law ought to be amended SO as
to empower the board to order assess

county. II upon investigation the
board should find It necessary in or

reason the fact that the nomination
OF the president and vice president
may be and actually have been de-
termined by the vote Of the delegates
from the states which case practically
no vote for the party ticket. and

Senator Albert B. Cummins today de-
clared an intention Of introducing in
the senate a bill providing for the
enactment of a nationwide primary

He points to the difficulty Of max
ing any change in the methods of
procedure in the nationadl conven-
tons relative to a basis Of represent
alton and declares II congress does
not act within a reasonable time up
on his national primary bill, he will
propose a law regulating national

TEDDY PROGRESSIVE
DECLARES VESSEY
SOUTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR AS
SERTS EX-PRESIDENT WILL
MAKE THIS CLEAR IN
WESTERN TRIP.

st. Paul, Minn.-'Theodore Roose-
welt is an unqualified progressive"
said Governor Wesley Of South Dako-
ia at the Frederic hotel this morning.
The governor has just returned
from New York and a visit to former
President Roosevelt. "Mr. Roosevelt
will state his position clearly in the
speeches he is to make on his West
ern trip" said Governor Wesley. "He
will not attack anyone or anything
at this time. but he will make it clear
that he stands for progressive senti-
ments.
Pleased With Taft's Letter.
The effect of his speeches will be
most marked and the progressive ele-
ment in the Western states will be
sure to assert itself under the leader
ship Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
THE Taft letter l am sure was
very pleasing to President Roosevelt.
He doubtless understands the situa-
ton much better than he did before
President Taft made his statement.
This does not necessarily mean that
Taft and Roosevelt will work to-
gether, but it does mean that at pres
ent no antagonism exists between
them.
Roosevelt Announces Coming.
In my opinion 1t would be impos-
sible for Roosevelt to take q position
opposed to the progressive idea. He il
the logical center around which the
progressive element Of tho Republi-
can party naturally gathers. The
strength Of this element can only 30

nouneed Ais position and the peopk

.H|RN|NG REPORTS on
ASSESSMENT LAWS
TELEPHONE AND ExPREss COM.
PANlEs DODGE THEIR SHARE
OF TAXATIOI.

Pierre. S. D.-State Auditor Him
ing In his letter of transmittal in his
forthcoming report to the governor
calls attention to the fact that the re-
port this year will be in three yalum-
es, two containing tented accounts
of all state officials and employees,
and the third the proceedings of the
state equalization board work and the
abstracts of assessments.
OF the finance he says: The finan-
cial condition Of the state during the
past fiscal year has steadily improved.
On June 80, 1909, the net indebted
ness of the state amounted to $685.
AT. On June 80. 1910, this was re-
duced to $375,912. a decrease of
$~174,505; and with the increase of
the states. revenues during the next
year, due to the increase in assess
nnent as we'll as TO other sources OF
revenue, this item should be almost
wiped out at the close of the next
fiscal year"
On Assessment and Taxation he
says: Ihe assessment laws of the
state are very defective. Under the
present system millions of dollars in
personal property. particularly mon
eys and credits, escape taxation every
year. The total amount of money
listed for taxation by the various
counties of the state for the year
1910 is $959,607, and in credits
$543,093, while the examiners re-
ports show about 100000 depos-
tied in the banks of the state.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1910-09-01

$543,O93, while the examiners re-
ports show about $80,000,000 depos-
tied in the banks of the state.
Telephones Getting OF Easy.
"On telephone he takes the position
that the manner of taxing them is not
equitable, which he shows in the fol-
flowing statements: Under the pres
ent system of tax levy on telephone
companies this class of property does
not bear its just portion of taxation
compared with other property locat-
ed in the same taxing district. I'm
der the law the state board now levies
a tax on this class Of property equal
to the average tax levy for all pur-
poses in the various counties Of the
state. This averages from 25 to %
mills. Most of the property of the
larger companies is located in the
larger cities where the levy ranges
from 80 to 60 mills. For example:
The Nebraska Telephone company
which operates in the counties of
Butte, Custer, Lawrence, Meade and
Pennington. is assessed for 1910 at
$69,49a. OF this assessment $43,-
O75 is located in the cities of Dead
wood, Lead and Rapid City, and the
balance in the smaller towns and in
the country. Under the present tax
levy which is % mills, this company
pays $1,945.97 in taxes. The average
tax levy in Lead, Deadwood and Rap
i'd City is about SIS mills, and in the
other territory 35 mills, so that the
tax on other property of like value in
the three cities mentioned amounts
to $~2,369:13, and in the other taxing
districts to $s24.S4, or a total Of
$3,293.97, while the tax on telephone
property of the same value amounts
to only $1,945.97. The same is true
with other toll and exchange lines.
would therefore recommend that
the law relating to taxation of tele-
phone companies be so amended as
to conform to the law relating to tax
alton Of railway property"
Should Vote for Amendment,
AS to Express companies the audi
tor says: THE assessment Of Ex-
press companies has been the hardest
problem for the state board to solve.
These companies have very little tan
gible property in the state, but take
a large amount Of money out Of the
state every year In earnings. BY TAX
ing their earning power into consid-
GRAFTON the board has placed on their
property what it considered a fair as
sessment. and although they pay what
I consider q small tax considering
their earnings, the American Express
Company and Wells Fargo and Com
pany Express have refused to pay
their taxes for 1903. and the matter
10 now in court. It l. to be hoped
that the tax amendment to be voted
upon at the coming election. which Is
Intended to cover such cases, will
carry. 90 that the next legislature can
place m earnings tax on corporations
