On Tuesday of next week the real
estate men of this state will begin a
two days session in Pierre, and the
number that will be here is certain to

A COMPARISON IN DEPOSITS

South Dakota has not gained iii
population quite as fast as her sister
state Of North Dakota, but can show
greater advancement in almost every
other line of material progress. A
comparison Of bank deposits in the
two states is most enlightening.
Twelve years ago there were in
South Dakota 100 banks with deposits
of SO, 100000. Today there are 573
banks with deposits of 500, ,S47 600.
From nine to ninety millions is quite
a jump for bank deposits and shows
the wonderful increase in the wealth
of the state.
In North Dakota twelve years ago
there were III banks with deposits of
50, 100, 900 and this year there are TAG
banks with deposits Of $71, ,2OS, 900.
A curious fact is that while North
Dakota has the most banks, South
Dakota has far outstripped her in the
amount of money in them and shows
nearly twenty millions more of de-
posits. Both states have made a
splendid increase for the period OF
twelve years.

COMMITTEE REPORTED

The resolution committee of the
conservation congress reported it's
work Friday in which it recommends
tree planting as one of the needs of
prairie country. and announcement
for such work by exemption from
taxation; that counties which own
county farms use portion of the
same for experiment and demonstra-
tion purposes; that only pure bred
stock be raised at the different sta
tions; that South Dakota farmers be
given thirty day preference right of
purchase of seed from the institu-
tions; that the school laws be so
amended that the ninth and tenth
grades are taught in country schools;
the holding of short course schools
of agriculture in each county of the
state annually and the passage of the
parcels post law. The committee
strongly cemmends the work Of the
state administration and the agri-
cultural college and it's professors in
the work of conservation and devel-
opment of agriculture in the state,
and extends a vote of thanks to the
people of Pierre for courtesies ex-
tended.

HEADLIGHT BILL BACK AGAIN

The headlight bill which went down
in the "vote no" campaign last fall is
back again in the senate claiming it's
own in the way Of legislation. This
bill was passed two years ago by the
effort of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen in this state ana requir-
ed 1 800 candle power electric lights
on all engines.
The railroads put it up to the refer
endum and it went down with the rest
of the list. The same organization
has it's representatives here again this
session and the bill is back. They
have also presented a bill for an en-
ployers' liability act which is worded
as nearly like the national act on that
subject as Can be.
The anti-treat act is back in new
form. While the law of two years
ago fixed a penalty for treating in sa-
looms, no one has paid any attention
to it. The new law provides penal
ty of a fine of 500 for any keeper or
manager of saloon to treat any one
to any Intoxicating liquors.
Bills were introduced in both houses
asking for 100000 for improvements
of the grounds of The capitol, $4,000
to be expended in the next fiscal year
and $50, 600 the following year.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

Aberdeen News: The News fails to
understand the course of reasoning
pursued by the statesmen at Pierre
who are seeking to abolish the law
requiring the publication ci insur-
ance statements. If the proposed
legislation would save the policy
holders of the state penny, this
paper could see some ground for the
action of the lawmakers who are
seeking to abolish the publication of
the statements, but no saving will be
effected. just as much money will
be sent out of the state without the
publication of the statements as with
it, for the insurance companies, and
not the policyholders pay the news
papers for publishing the statements.
The insurance companies would well
come the repeal OF course, as it would
add that much to the large sums they
have salted down. But it would not
benefit the people of South Dakota a
penny's worth, and it would deprive
South Dakota newspapers of a con-
siderable sum of money annually.
But what have the newspapers done
to the legislators of South Dakota
that they should be disciplined?

TAXATION IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Sioux City Tribune: Apropos of
the letter of Mr.. Williams, the South
Dakota Farmer, who said he would
be willing to pay the tax on the mort
gage he might take back from his
renter for the purchase money of his
farm, is a statement made by Mr..
John B. Hanten, tax commissioner
of his state, which we find quoted in
an article in the American Magazine
for this month on the shams of per-
sonalty taxation. He says:
In our state we have many muni-
cipalities in which the tax is from 3
to per cent, or from $50 to $40 q
thousand. On account of this high
levy every one having moneys, cred
its, mortgages, stocks or bonds evadss
listing such property for the reason
that the income for such property in
the shape of interest or dividends
would be virtually confscated by the
state annually in taxation.
In concluding, he states, as prevail
ent there a condition general every
where:
1t is hardly necessary for me to
state that those who have little prop
erty pay comparatively a great deal
more than those who have much prop
erty and particularly those who have
property in moneys and credits.
We apprehend that should our COR.
respondent sell his farm for 5000,
taking back q mortgage for sll or part
of the purchase money, he would. af-
ter the tirst yea e exfes:s;;:ss ..tt,a= til
