Congressman e. w. Martin in a
splendid address Thursday, at the
second graduation exercises of the
short course in agriculture Of the
State College. This was the introduce
ton to Mr.. Martins address on
South Dakota" which discussed elo-
quently the past, present, and future
of the state and outlined in no un
certain terms, reasons why South Da-
kota is destined to be the leading
state in the Union. From the stand
point of soil fertility, mineral resour-
ces, n her excellent quality of peo-
pie, Nh. Martin is optimistic for the
future of South Dakota. The address

lege. According to Mr.. Martin, South
Dakota receives an average of plenty
OF moisture to mature her crops, and
when this state learns the secret of
conserving her soil fertility and her
moisture no other state in the Union
will be able to compete with her.
Hon. T. w. Dwight of Sioux Falls,
a member of the state board of re-
gents, gave an excellent address to
the students as he presented the Ger.
tificates Of graduation. The central
idea Of his address was that youth
Is the most beautiful thing in life."
Mr.. Dwight stated that very often we

and like money, it talks loudest when
it says goodbye"
This is the second class to gradu.
ate in the short course In agriculture,
Nth twenty7six names upon its roll.
These twenty-six graduates, almost
without exception, plan to return to
the farms OF South Dakota. Some of
them expect to return to the State
College to take up collegiate work In
agriculture and specialize more par
ticularly in the scientific phase of the
subject. The growth Of the school Of
agriculture has been most encourag-
ing. The first class in 1908 numbered
fifty students, and that number was
doubled by the following January.
The attendance has now increased so
rapidly that 1t has been necessary to
erect a special annex to the chemistry
building for its use. 1t is expected
that the school OF agriculture of the
college will attract three hundred or
Tor students next year.

MINNESOTA FOR
NATIONAL ROAD
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD
AT TRACY AND AsSOCiA-
TON ORGANIZED.
PROF. 4. c. SOlBepG GIVES TALK
Towns Of Southern Minnesota VIII
ment of National Highway.

Prof. II. G. Solberg tells us that the
good roads meeting at Tracy last
week, at which he was the principal
speaker, was a most enthusiastic one
and he now has no fear but that
Minnesota will do her share toward
promoting the Chicago to Yellow
Stone national highway. A dispatch
from Tracy to the Minneapolis Jour
nal says Of the meeting:
"A state good roads association
was organized here this week to
further the national highway project
and to secure uniform construction
throughout the state and work with
the various county boards. DR.. w. D..
James Of Tracy was elected chair
man, Attorney Hauser of Sleepy Eye
secretary, and n delegate from
each Of the eleven counties repre-
sntd was chosen as a member Of the
beard Of directors.
Former Representative C. w.
Sites Of Lake Benton and r. G.. Hage
of New Ulm were elected delegates to
the interstate association meeting,
comprising all of the states interest
ed in the national highway.
The visiting delegates were en-
tertained by the Tracy Commercial
club and a four curse banquet was
served by the ladies' aid societies Of
the city, covers being laid for over
$50.
"The meeting was for the purpose
of organizing southern Minnesota in
an effort to secure the national high
way from Chicago to the Yellowstone
National park along the route Of the
Chicago & Northwestern line. Over
go delegates representing every
town and hamlet along the railroad
from Mankato to the South Dakota
Ilne were present.
Prof. Solberg of the South Dakota
state college at Brookings made a
strong plea for better roads and con-
certed effort for this particular pro-
ject. He told of the work accomp-
lished in other states on the national
highway, how the states of Wiscon.
sin, South Dakota and Wyoming had
already organized state associations
to further the project, and described
the condition OF roads in those states
before the highway was established
and their condition today,

THE ASSESSMENT
BASIS IS FIXED
COUNTY AUDITORS MEET WITH
STATE BOARD OF ASSESS
MENT AT PIERRE
TAXATION OF MORTGAGES UNSETTLED
Matter is Left Practically up to Each
Assessor-County Assessors Meet
with the County Boards

County Auditor Otternes attended
the meeting at Pierre last week of the
county auditors of the state and the
state board of assessment and equali-
zation, at which time the coming as
sessment was discussed and a num-
Der of vexatious points threshed out.
Mr.. Bitterness brought up at the meet
ing the question of taxing mortgages,
which stirred up considerable noise
in Brookings county last year. 1t
seems that Brookings county was the
only county in the state which at
tempted to enforce this provision and
it did not meet with enough success
in that effort to do any amount Of
celebrating over. The state board
gave it as their opinion that the
law is on the statute books and
should be obeyed, which Is true
enough, but where it is left up to the
counties some assessors will tax the
mortgages, but the majority will for
get" it. This is not a fair and equal
assessment of course, but there
seems to be no help for it under the
present system of taxation.
At the Pierre meeting Brooking,
county farm lands we're placed at an
average of eleven dollars an acre for
assessment purposes. The following
basis was fixed for personal proper
ty:
Horses under three years old and
over six months old, $500; horses
three years old and over, $500; stall
lions and jacks, twenty times service
fee; cattle under two years old and
over six months, $500; COWS two
years old and over, $1,000; all other
cattle two years old and over, $500;
mules and asses of all ages over six
months old, $500; sheep of all ages
over three months old, $1.50; swine
of all ages over three months old,
$500; wagons and carriages, one
third of actual value; automobiles,
one-third of actual value; melodeons
and organs, $500; pianofortes, $4,000.
All property not enumerated in the
above is to be assessed at one-third
of its actual value.
The assessors of the county held
their annual meeting with the county
auditor and county commissioners on
Tuesday afternoon, and nearly every
assessor in the county was present.
