TRY TO COLLECT The
OLD PERSONAL TAXES
THERE Is ABOUT $4,000 oyT-
STANDING SINCE TIE YEAR
1853 $500 COMMISSIONERS
TRY TO GET IT.

In a great many counties of the
ssate the collection of personal tax
Is has been neglected to a certain
extent In the past years with the re-
silt that there Is a large sum due.
In this county for the pas. few
days the commissioners have been
going over the books of the county
treasurer and checking up The
amount that IS due on personal tax
IS and which have not been paid
since the year 1883. I'd TO the year
1909 the amoun remaining uncol-
Iected Is estimated at about $4,000.
The bad collections have been weed
I'd out by the commissioners and
they figure they will be allie to Sc
cure at least s25.000 OF this amount.
\ good portion OF the amount that is
due is owed by parties who "
land here but are non-residents, and
there is little or no way IN which to
secure the payment. Several other
counties in this section OF the state
are taking up the question OF collect

=e:c:.: would 1t be any moro de-
s!rabis TO allow the state committees

e:c:.: .wnu,d 1t be any moro de-
s!rabis TO allow the state committees
70 arrange fo. the selection c. dele
gates hy caucuses and conventions?
Are the state committees empowered
to invest the caucus with more le-
sality than the primary? If frauds
would be committed in u primary.
where each man must pass insrec-
ton as he votes, how about a caucus
where men are herded together and
vote without any restriction or SUI
pervision whatever?
The fact is that the republican ma
tional committee made a serious
tactical mistake when II denied per-
mission TO state committees tc sub
stitute .le primary for the caucus II
they Should decide TO do SO. 1t is
equivalent to a declaration by that
committee that a iawiess caucus is
SO much to be preferred over a law
lese primary that a lawie5s caucus
must be used wherever 1t is not pro-
y!ded otherwise by law.
No doubt It Is true that the dem
ocrats viii attempt TO make political
capital out OF the action of their ma.
tional committee. No doubt 1t Is
further true that there VIII be much
OF pretense In tie claim Of super
iority and that the democratic poll
t!cials are just as hostile to the pri.
mary as the republican politicians
Furthermore. such q claim would
not Go iustice to the great body OF
voters who make up the republican
party. For it Is worthy Of note that
TIE seven states that have presiden.
tial primaries authorized by law are
all republican states and that with
tn. exception OF New Jersey. these
are all republican measures. 1t Il
true that q number az the states Ii
the South have made general use o:
the primary without authority o
law. but o number Of republican
states have also done SO.
AT all events 1t is a feir ~predictio,
that this Is the last campaign IL
which tho presidential candidate
will not be nominated by the peopl

not THIS REMEDY.

Bcfe-- she steel trust investigat-
ing committee, Andrew Carnegie,
whose sale Of his steel-making plants
fer a colossal sum maje the steel
trust possible, declared tina. the day
OF competition in the steel Industry
has passed. He recognizes that the
the steel corporation completely
dominates. Asked for q solution OF
the problem, he declared that the
government must fix prices for the
monopoly.
For the government to do this is
abhorrent to best thought. This
would be paternalism indeed. Hav-
ing determined to fix the prices for
steel products. the government, to
be consistent. would be obliged to
establish prices for the output OF ev-
cry other monopoly. This would in
WE'VE 2 guaranty of earnings, for If
the government said a certain price
should be charged. there would be
no way Of getting around the order.
Presumably. If the rulings of the
United States supreme count are fol-
4owed. dlese prices would include
enough profit to pay dividends on all
the tremendous amount of watered
stocks in the various monopolies.
This would be e%quiva!en. to legaliz-
ing lawless stock issues, which is
nice business for a government to
engage in.
It were better that the govern
ment take ever. by ownership or
control, the natural m~onopolies. The
steel trust is made possible by al
lance with two natural monopolies,
that Of the railroads and the depos-
Its Of !rea ore. II these were in
the hands % the government, or un-
der the str;ctest kind of govern
ment control. then any other Arm
could buy ere or transportation on
the same terms as the trust and II
ANYTHING would break Its monopoly,
this would do so.
There not SO many natural
monopoiies that the government
could not take active charge OF
them. Great BRITAIN already has
virtually done so and It should be
observed that Great Britain Is not
so troubled with the monopoly prob
lem. as We are on this side OF the
Atlantic.

unique proposition to Frank N.
Byrne Of Faulkton. also a candidate

unique proposition to Frank N.
Byrne Of F%aulkton. also a candidate
for this honor. He proposes that
both Of them withdraw and refer the
selection Of q candidate TO take the
place of both OF them, to twenty re-
publicans. half Of the number TO be
selected by Gull and half by Byrne.
He bases his suggestion upon appre-
henslon lest Lgan he made governor
because OF the division of the opposi-
.ion by their two candidates.. 1t Is
part of the proposition that both OF
them shall agree to retire from the
race.
1t Is very doubtful If Mr.. Byrne
will accept the proposal. This state
ment Is made without any informa-
ton whatsoever. But it is we'll
known that by virtue of his Office as
acknowledgement, won by the
vote Of the people, Byrne regards
himseif as a logical candidate for
the goveTnorsh!p. Furthermore he
will not be disposed to consider that
any desire upon the part of MIR. Gull
to withdraw from the race should be
used to pull him out. The terms of
the proposal give NJ, Byrne oppor.
tunity to say that there is no reason
for asking twenty men to choose the
candidate CT the party when under
tie Jaw the voters themselves are
supposed to do that. This is a mere
prediction of what Mr.. Byrne viii,
say.
The Egan candidacy, meanwhile
is given some more free advertising
And Egan is smart enough to SC
conduct himself as 10 be the bene.
ficiary Of all disgust on the part o.
the voters with continued attempt:
to Zine up" one ticket Of republt
cans against another ticket OF re
publicans. Under the circumstances
Egan is donated a considerabl,
amount Of strength. It must b,
amusing to him to see two opponent!
like Gull and Byrne struggling Will
the question whether they woul.
sathe. defeat each other CT whethe
they would rather see Egan defeated
Egan Is a good enough politician t,
make a lineup In his own interes
If 1t should be to his advantage TO d,
so. But as 1t happens 1t is his GU
to play a lone hand. Thus ever
conference" and every SLATE" O.
the par. Of the remnants Of either @
the old factions, give him that niue
more campaign material. There
always ONE usefulness in the can
didncy OF any man who is a possibl
winner. The occasions for Egan
activities in South Dakota polite
have been made for him. rather tina
by him. All is grist that comes t
his mill.
