STATE MAKING GREAT STRIDES

CREDIT DUE TO HANSEN
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE MAN WILL
START IN A few DAYS on an
OTHER TRIP ABROAD.

leading alfalfa state of the union, and
In succeeding in this ambition will
have to give credit to Prof. N. W.
Hansen, of the South Dakota Agrtoul-
tursl college, who has gained nation
sl reputation ss the "alfalfs wizard" Of
the United States. On several oocs-
sions during the past six or eight years
Prof. Hansen has been sent as the rep
resentative of the United States de-
partment of agriculture to Siberia and
other countries in search of alfalfss
which would be suitable and hardy
enough for the northern states of the
United States. These trips we're very
successful, and alfalfa seed gathered
by Prof. Hansen on the trips have
been developed into huge alfalfa fields
In nearly every western and north
western state.
Prof. Hansen will depart in a few
days for another alfalfa seeking trip to
eastern Asia. The South Dakota legis
lature at its recent session appropriat-
ed the sum Of $4,000 to cover the ex.
penses of the trip. The purpose of the
coming trip is to procure alfalfa which
will be especially adaptable to western
South Dakota, where the rainfall is not
as ample as in the eastern or older
eection. The legislature also appropri.
ated an additional $4,000 for use by
Prof. Hansen is the propagation of
alfalfa in western South Dakota, which
formerly was the great cattle range
section of the state, but which now has
been occupied by homesteaders.
IMPORTANT TO HoMEsTEADERs.
The successful growing of alfalfa in
that section of the state is OF the ut
most Importance to the homesteaders,
and is expected to transform tn 9
region into as prosperous q country as
any part of the United States. There
is the utmost confidence that Prof
Hansen on his coming trip will secure
varities of alfalfa that will thrive there
and bring the utmost prosperity to the
any thousands o ( homesteaders.
Prof. Hansen will go direct from South
Dakota to Russia.
Some Of the territory to be visited by
Prof Hansen in Asia, after leaving Rus
sic, has extremes of temperature. rang
ing from l20 degrees below in the win,
ter, and with an annual rainfall OF less
than nine inches. Prof. Hansen hopes
to secure two tons of alfalfa seed on
the trip. This he will plant in western
South Dakota next spring.
The trip will test the endurance OF
the most hardy men. To reach the
territory desired himself and party
will travel distance of more than
1000 miles from the railroad through
Siberia, making the overland journey
by camel. The necessary machinery
and appliances for gathering, thrashine
and transporting the seed gathered
will be carried by the party on its trit
from the railroad
Through the efforts of Prof. Hanser
many thousands of acres already hav.
been planted to alfalfa in different
parts of South Dakota and b sy,
brought prosperity to the residents o.
the regions, and this area of alfalf,
will be greatly increased by the seee
which he will secure on his trip.

TAXATION
New Law On Taxation and How II Will Be
Applied.

lNSW Law VII ldAdUOu dIIu uUW Will be
Applied
An entirely unwarranted Importance
Is given In the popular discussion of
taxation to the rate of levy. It Is often
discussed as II it we're the main factor
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 several steps taken in the process
of raising public revenue should show
how erroneous is this Importance given
to the rate. The rate is mathemati-
cal convenience and may be high or
low without really affecting the amount
of taxes to be paid, for il assessed
values gre high the rate will be low,
and vica versa; IL assessed values are
low the rate will be high.
The very first step is the fixing of the
amount Of money to 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 10 determined, the fixing Of the
rate is simply matter of mathemati.
cal 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 tax .nayer should eontrih.

NEW YORK. July 1s-For the

Both financial Europe and financial

TO the fact that the approaching

markets, for the ordinary commercial
purposes OF the season. have been so
thoroughly prepared and provided for
that they have ceased TO be alarming.
In the case of the American market,
some special considerations have just
now arisen These are interesting
straws in the wind. especially today's
announcement that the ST. Paul Az
