TAXATION REFORMS
PROPOSED BY GULL
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
TALKS OF HlT.AND.MISS SYS.
TEN USED IN THE
STATE.

Hot Springs, S. D.-Reform ir
matters of taxation is one of the
greatest needs of the day, according
to Mr.. Gull in his recent speech at
Vermillion, and at that time he did
not hesitate to declare that the big
property owner does not pay his
share of taxes, compared with the
poor man.
Fifty years ago." declared Mr..
Gull, 1.-THE transportation business
OF the Dakotas was done by OK teams
and stage coaches. we are still in
Nthe OK team days in the way we on
jduct public business. For in
stance: We still cling to the town
ship method of making our assess
ment for purposes of taxation, and
You will agree with me that our
methods are not ideal. We have a
system that is pretty sure to get ev-
cry dollars worth of property that
the poor man has, but We waste too
much time on the poor man.
While the county treasurer and
sheriff are chasing down a poor man
TO collect $S.45, a rich man glides
through the year and pays nothing.
SAS SSoA VIC NAVY luiulSuo vi HUI
engaged in making , assessments
each acting Independent from the
others. and practically free from any
superior authority. 1t has been
found that the method of assessing
your property and mine is not suit
ed to assessing the property of rail-
road and express companies and tele-
phone systems. So we have a dual
system of assessment. Now it seems
to me that the old and local system
should be abolished and that the
state board should be given greatly
Increased power in the work of max
Ing assessments.
I'm this manner, with the assess
ment made under the direction of a
single board for the entire state, we
would secure greater uniformity and
accuracy, where the entire author
ity of the state is given in the first
instance for gathering information
as to a mans possessions"
Yet Judge Gull does not seek to
have greater power placed in the
hands OF the governor as is shown
by his position that the state board
Of health, the board of regents of
and the board of charities
and correction should all be made
elective.
1t is but natural, he says, for any
man, when given the power to APP
point an official. to appoint a friend,
and it is also natural for any official
to desire a reapointment or re-elec-
ton. The inevitable result is a ten
dency toward al administration ma
chine working for the retention in
office, for friendly successors.

CHELL,

Scores Of Mitchell people can tell
you about Doan's Kidney Pills.
Many a happy citizen makes a pub
lie statement OF his experience. Here
is a case of it. What better proof
of merit can be had than such en-
dorsement?
Mrs. Mary e. Perry, Ill Eleventh
Ave-, Mitchell, S. OAK, says: 1T is
impossible for mi to fully express
my gratitude to Doan S Kidney Pills.
I believe l inherited kidney disease
as l suffered from it since l was a
small girl and my sister died from
the malady. i consulted the best
physicians and they stated that l
had Bright's disease, and could not
possibly live more than a few weeks.
Dropsy also set in and my limbs be-
came badly swollen. Everybody
thought l was. beyond the power of
medicine when l began the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. They brought
about a change for the better from
the first and gradually my health i'm
proved until l was able to get
about the house. The dropsical
in my limbs subsidized and I
felt like a different woman. Contin-
ued use Of Doan's Kidney Pills rid
ne Of kidney trouble"
The above statement was given in
August 1907 and on August 20, 1910

TAKE A TRIP.
This is the invitation given by The
Republican to the women Of the city
and surrounding territory.
On the 10th day Of next February,
a party of five women will sail from
New York City on tho elegant steaul-
er Hamburg owned by the Ham
burg-Amcrican line. The vessel will
be bound for a twenty-one Cay
cruise through the West Indies.
During the journey, the boat will
make stops at bermuda, St. Thomas,
San Juan, Colon, Panama, Kingston,
Jamaica, Santiago and Havana, Gu
ba. AT Colon the party will cross
the Isthmus Of Panama on the Pana-
ma railroad and see not only the
wonderful Panama canal as far as
1t is completed, but see the gigantic
Engineering project in actual work
of construction. Probably never
again will another sight such as
this be obtainable. There will be
two shore excursions at Jamaica,
through the beautiful island of ia
maica, and another at Havana, the
destination of thousands Of pleasure
seekers in the winter time.
The Hamburg is a magnificent
steamer and 1t will be delightful to
enjoy the luxuries offered by its &c
commodations, while steaming away
from the cold of winter to the balmy
climate of the West Indies. The Ham
burg Is a modern twin-screw vessel of
about 1900 tons, .525 feet long. co
feet wide and 5000 horse power.
There are two spacious promenade
decks, affording ample room for
~promenading and deck chairs. The
large and elegantly appointed dining
saloon is situated on the lower
promenade deck and receives light
and ventilation from three sides. A
comfortable ladies saloon is situated !
on the upper promenade deck and a
gymnasium equipped with the lates,
apparatus Of the lander system On
the boat deck. The library is stock
ed with carefully selected volumes
of the latest English, German, French
and Spanish works. The steamer
carries a band of trained musicians. !!
From the Time that the part,
leaves Mitchell, all expenses of the
trip, e the world-famous New
York Central lines, with a stop at
Niagara Falls, until the return to-
Mitchell, over a month after the
start, all the travelling expenses
will be paid by The Republican. This
paper does not know who will make
up the party. That will be deter
mined by the readers of The Rcpub-
lican, as explained elsewhere in this
paper. Most interesting of all, per-
haps, will be the selection Of q chap
erone for the party. The woman who
has the highest vote among the four
districts will be allowed to choose
chaperone. This will add inter-
EST and zest to the friendly contest,
Is every candidate for the trip will
have some relative or friend Who'll
you'd ike to go along as chaperone.
In addition to these FIVE trips. The
will give away four $50
