holding aloof from the Bull Moosers,
continues to refuse to join the Roose-

he will eventually lay aside his stub
bornness and enter the ranks of the
Roosevelt-Johnson-Costigan fighters
to the end that a strong front may
\ be presented the Taft forces in the
! present campaign. However, those
who are close to the Colorado
Springs gubernatorial candidate, aver
that he probably will make no con-

the end. Democrats are hoping that

/ licans of the state will continue to
exist for 1t will mean strength to

FIGURES PROVE
PEARCE RECORD
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver. Aug. 22.-The man who
makes good is the man entitled to
the reward. This applies in a more
special sense to public servants. who
have been faithful to their trust and
who have shown ability and integri-
" in the conduct of their Offices.
Past state administ rations- have
been notoriously lax in enforcing the
collection of taxes and the filing of
annual reports by corporations. This
Indifference or neglect caused the loss
of tens OF thousands of dollars to the
state, and it was not until j. B.
Pearce assumed the office of secretary
of state that the corporations were
compelled to pay their fiat taxes and
TO file the necessary legal statements
of the condition of their business
during the preceding year This
meant splendid increase in the rev.
enues of the state, while il empha-
sized the fact that the present secre-
tary OF state not alone knew his bus
iness, but was not afraid TO make
corporations live up TO the law.
An analysis of the comparative fig
ures showing what Pearce has done
during his incumbency and what his
predecessors did not do in the matter
of revenue-raising is the best illus
tration of his efficiency For instance
comparing the receipts of the first
Is months of the administration of
James Cowie, republican secretary of
state, in 1906 and 1906. We find
the total receipts were s27716S.67,
while for the same period in 1911
and 1912, under Pearce. they were
$500, 22s.SS, an increase of S23.-
06l.2l.
Pearce's immediate predecessor
was T. W. O'Connor. The records
show an increase of s73,55l.62, in
the relative periods of 1907 and 1908
and of s40,297.22, in the periods of
1903 and 1910. In other words
Pearce collected s1l3,S4S.S4 more In
1903 and 1910, than O'Connor did in
1907 and 1908, or a grand total of
SlS6, 9l0.05, gained in the AZ months
Pearce has been in office.
Divide this total of sl36,910.05 by
AZ and the average increase per
month is S3,259.76, over the repub-
lfcan brethren who were secretaries
of state from 1905 to 1909. Why,
one months savings effected by
Peearce would almost pay his years
salary. so his retention in his office
for another term would seem more
like an investment by the people than
anything else.
Besides it must be remembered
/ that this splendid result was achieved
during a period OF financial depres-
sion. j. B. Pearce is the man who
made good. y This work. along the
line here indicated. is unfinished.
The state needs men of his ability
SO that the tax laws may be properly
enforced and the burdens of taxation
be equitably distributed. The man
who saves the state s3,259.76 per
month is mighty good official to
have in the Office of secretary of

WOMAN GETS NO PAY

Washington, d. C.-Mrs. Kate
Coombs, who for the last thirty-five
years has mended the skirts which arc
used to cover the money-making ma
chimes of the bureau of engraving
and printing when they are not in
operation, slowed all her vouchers
away in a trunk and has I've made
an effort to cash any of them. There
is a statute which provides that if
government pay vouchers are not
cashed within two years after they
are issued they become null and void.
Mrs. Coombs, therefore, will have to
appeal to other agencies than the dis
tributing officer of the bureau to col
lect payment for the services which
she has performed during all these
years. Mrs. Coombs is nearly 80 years
old. She receives $40 a month in the
government service, but has other
sources of income.

DATA ON
COMPENSATION LAW

Pierre, S. D.-The department of
legislative reference is compiling sta.
tistical information for the use of
the next legislature along several
lines, the first bulletin being sent out
covering general lines of legislation
in other states in regard to Work
mems Compensation Acts, as such
legislation will very likely be brought
up at the coming session. h bulle-
tin is statistical in its nature and
shows the number of injured. and
their compensation under laws in
states and countries in which such
laws are in force. The Illinois Act is
given considerable consideration, as
one which meets conditions general
ly in this country, and its benefits
are shown, both in the matter of pay
ments to beneficiaries in case of
death, or to the party himself IL
case of injuries which ~incapacitate
him from continuing his usual labor.
This is the first of a series, in which
other matters which may come be
fore the session are being covered III
such a manner that anyone interest
ed in possible legislation along any
of the lines touched upon can Sc
cure such information readily.

ONE FAMILY IN
TEN OWNS AUTO
THIS is INDICATED BY REPORT
UPON LICENSES BY SECRET
AIRY OF STATE.

Pierre, S. D.-The letter of trans
initial in the report of the secretary
of state for the biennial period end
ing June 80 last. shows for that per-
iod receipts OF s~56,717.33, or about
500 greater than for the preced-
ing two years. These receipts are
$41,2S7.33 in excess of the salar-
les and operation expenses of the de-
partment. The principal sources of
revenues are from companies of diff
ferent classes which incorporate UNI
der the laws of the state. In the BIZ
ennial period there have been in
corporated 1909 commercial corpor-
ations, Al banks, and 231 religious
and fraternal organizations. There
have been issued 22S certificates to
foreign corporations, and 1910 not
arial commissions. In that time the
people of the state have taken out
1850 automobile licenses, as COM
pared with 1862 for the preceding
two years. indicating an expenditure
of probably $1,000, 900 for autos in
two years. Estimating the number of
families in South Dakota at 10000
this means that about one family in
