TRINITY COUNCIL.
Addition to Club House
Now the Important
Subject.

Trinity Council, Y. M. l., held the
first meeting of the new year Mon
day night, and at the same time
Coleman A. Ridge, Council Deputy,
installed the officers. Immediately
following the installation cere-
monies a luncheon and smoker was
held and enjoyed by the large mem
bership that was present. The re-
ports of the retiring President, P. j.
Sandman, and the other officers
showed that the year 1912 was a
very successful one for Trinity, both
financially and numerically. An an
nouncement was made that on next
Monday night at 8 o'clock a special
order of business would be had for
the purpose of affording the entire
membership an opportunity Of ex-
pressing their views with regard to
Trinitys proposed addition to the
club house, which is proposed to
take in as much space as the pres
ent quarters. This announcement
was received with much pleasure. On
Monday, January 20, Trinity will
elect delegates to the Catholic Fed
Grafton, and as the members OF
Trinity for number of years have
taken a deep interest in federation
some spirited contests are looked
for in this election of delegates.
Although Trinity's Social Club is
only few weeks old, President
J. M. Hennessy reported that the
membership had already exceeded
fifty. This club is arranging for
several dances to take place before
Lent. Announcement was also made
that the Dolly Dollars Club would
entertain their friends with a dance
on Wednesday, January Is. Imme-
diately following the meeting next
Monday night Trinity Aid Society
will meet and elect officers and
directors for the present year and
at the same time declare dividend
to the stockholders. From present
indications Trinity expects to have
some busy times in the new year,
and something of interest VIII be
taken up at practically all of the
weekly meetings for some time to
come.

faithful housekeeper. Besides his
bequest to Miss Doyle, Father Brady
left $4,000 for the poor children of
the congregation, $1,000 for the
Sisters of the Good Shepherd and a
number of smaller beduests. The
remainder of his money goes to the
Bishop of the Louisville diocese for
the education of priests. Father
J. p. Cronin is named executor of
the will. Il is estimated that Father
Brady left $4,000 in money and
personal property, which was
amassed by careful Investment from
his small yearly salary during his
forty years as a priest. The priest
left but little to his relatives, who
reside in New York.

great measure to the special efforts
that have been made during the
year to promote the society. It is
encouraging to note, however, the
awakening to the needs of the Indian
missions which this report would
seem to manifest. II this ratio Of
gain can be maintained for a few
years the Catholic Indian mission
problem will have been solved. AT
no time in the past has opposition
to the Catholic Indian missions been
more bitter and violent than during
the year 1912, and It is of the great
est Importance that adequate finan-
cial assistance be provided for them.

Communication.
TAXATION ARTICLE NO. /.
(By State Tax COmmissiOnD


An entirely unwarranted Importance
is given in the popular discussion of
taxation to the rate of levy. 1t is often
di sse as if it ere the main faC tor in
taxation, while as matter of fact, the
important factor is the amount of money
to be raised for public purposes in any
taxing district. knowledge OF the sew
eral steps taken in the process of raising
public revenue should show how errone
GUS is this importance given to the rate.
The rate is a mathematical convenience
and may be high or low without really
affecting the amount of taxes to be paid,
for if assessed values are high the rate
will be low, and vice versa if assessed
values are low the rate will be high.
The very first step is the fixing of the
amount of money 10 be raised, and that,
rather than the rate, determines whether
the tax will be high or low.
When the amount of money to be
raised is determined, the fixing of the
rate is simply matter of mathematical
calculation. The assessed value of the
property and the amount of revenue to
be raised are the important features in
the tax, the rate being simply the factor
used to compute the proportion of the
total tax that each taxpayer should
contribute.
Let us illustrate: Suppose taxing
district having an assessed value Of
81 100000 desires to raise $4,000 for
public purposes by taxation. Clearly a
levy of ten mills or one cent on each
dollar of assessed value would be neces-
sary to produce the required amount of
revenue. Now suppose the assessed
value ofthe same property was increased
to $2,0O0,0O0, then five mills or one-half
of one cent would be sufficient to pro-
duce the required $4,000. In the first
case AS property being assessed at
$1,000, he pays $40 in taxes; in the
second place, while his assessed value
has been doubled, the rate has been cut
in half, and he still pays but $40 in
taxes. The rate then becomes a mere
incident, and not at all a matter of first
importance.
The next article will show the manner
of making levies and the limitations
fixed by law,

MEMORIAL DAY
Governor Byrne Urges That Memorial Day
be Not Given Over to Games
and Sports.

Some years ago, in harmony with
commendable usage and cherished
national custom, the Legislature of the
State of South Dakota, in regular ses-
sion assembled, set apart and designated
the thirtieth day of May in each year as
Decoration and Memorial day with the
object and purpose of which the people
of our State have long since grown fam
iliar, and to those whose yearly advent
they look forward with increased pride,
enhanced affection and loftier gratitude.
To the soldier and sailor who crowned
a life of largest love for his country by
death of sacrifice on the field of battl |,
to him who went forth never to return /;
to him who did return, only to be laid
away to rest in the quiet hillside or
meadow; and to him who is yet with
and among us,-to these, is this Nation
indebted for the preservation of her in
tegrity, for the peace and safety she en-
joys, and for the maintenance of the
proud position she occupies; and indeed
it seems but fitting that on one day in
each year we should acknowledge the
debt of love and, as best we may, pay
our tributes of memory and reverence.
On the coming Memorial Day, there
fore, would earnestly urge that it be
not given over to games or sports, but
that it be free from all lighter amuse-
ments, and that every individual citizen
of the Commonwealth cause his obser-
vance of the day to be well worthy of
the occasion and in complete harmony
with its exalted sentiment and feeling
In Testimony Whereof l have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal of the State of

"When the election was held Welle,

"When the election was held Weller
made hard fight. He was ahead in
the early part of the evening and it was
not until the vote had passed the $4,000
mark that Crist made appreciative gains.
Then he jumped by the hundred votes
to precinct. Crist won in the resi-
dence districts, where the women's vote
was heavy.
The San Francisco Daily News COM
ments editorially:
"The recall of Judge Weller is due
solely to the work of the good women
of San Francisco. The new voters, with
little or no help from the men, won a
great moral victory. The Daily News
was the only daily paper in the city to
aid them until the day before election,
when one of the morning papers fired a
single broadside at the Police Judge who
had for years held property above
human souls. His (Judge Weller's) fate
should be solemn warning to other
judges in this city who have been dere-
lict in their duties. Our heartiest con-
gratulations to the women and to the
new Police Judge, Wiley F. Cristw
The San Francisco Examiner says of
the election:
"All indications point to the activity
of the women voters in this election,
and their high regard for their privilege
of citizenship. 1t even appears from
the first returns that the women voters
practically decided the issues. The
women of San Francisco by the clarity
of their judgment are giving valuable
object lesson to the world of the wisdom
of giving their sex the suffrage, irrespec-
tive of their obvious right to it,"
California, as we'll as Washington and
Oregon, is "doing herself proud in ad-
vanced legislation since women got the
ballot.
A joint guardianship bill has passed
the Senate unanimously. 1t was voted
down in 1909 and in 1911.
The Red Light Abatement Act has
gone through both Houses.
The Senate has passed without opposi-
ton the bill raising the age ofprotection
for girls from 16 to Is. Mrs. Alice l..
Park, of Palo alto, writes: ga few of
us remember trying this same bill on
one Legislature after another, and al
ways losing. What difference bal
lot makes! One vote is worth ton of
voteless influence"
Does not all this speak eloquently in
defense of "Votes for Women"
"Ex-Govsrnor Folk, of Missouri, told
the Mississippi Valley Conference that
within ten years women would have the
ballot in every State in the Union. He
added: "The mightiest force in the
world today for better things is the in
huence of good women. The more in
terest they take in public affairs, the
b stter public affairs will be. With
women added to the army of peace, we
may hope to see the day when the puri-
fcation of politics will cease to be irri-
descent dream"

CLASS SERMON, 1918
Was One of the Most Eloquent and Pro
found Public Utterances Ever
Heard in Custer.

Sunday evening at the Congregational
church occurred the class sermon and
accompanying exercises for the gradu-
ates of the Custer High School, 1918.
The class entered in two divisions, one
accompanied by Principal E. j. Morgan,
the other by Assistant Principal Grace
Davidson. The sermon, by Rev. X. w.
Powell, was one of the most eloquent
and profound public utterances ever
heard in Custer. The speaker dwelt in
her own delightful manner of the happy
and useful lives open to the young peo-
pie of today, and of the paths to be
avoided. All through she inserted choic-
est and most elegant proverbs and pung-
ent sayings that were and should be an
inspiration to anyone who heard them.
Mrs. Powell delt upon the fact that op-
portunity to all means responsibility to
all, in direct proportion. She pictured
the splendor and wonder ola life of SER
vice and labor and unselfshness, and
depicted in convincing style the wretch.
edness of sin, cowardice, and sloth. She
emphasized scholastic ability as being a
necessity, and added to it perseverance,
courage, and individuality. "What is
the difference" she asked, "between the
man who does things and the carping
critic who grumbes at him? Brains.
What is the difference between a Glad
stone and the peasant who is virtual
slave? Brains. Thought makes the
world, builds palaces, and makes para
disc of the wilderness. Be willing to
stand alone. Until now you have work.
ed together as class, but soon that time
will come when you must face respon-
sibility and the world alone, with no
friendly teacher or parent to stand be-
tween you and consequences, as hereto.
fore. Stand firm. Remember that the
mob accomplishes nothing. Those who
do things, who secure things, go alone"
Mrs. Powell received many congratula-
tions upon her address, and it is safe to
say that not only members of the class,
but the entire audience, were broaden
ed and. inspired by her sincerity and
force of utterance.
Not small factor in the enjoyment of
the occasion was the splendid music fur
nished by the combined choirs of the
Methodist and Congregational churches,
by Mrs. c, E. Perrin,
who maintained her reputation as
by giving the audience the very
best type of music.
