FLINT LOCK MUSkET
FOUND NEAR ONIDA

Onida, S. D.=What is believed to
be a relic of the Lewis & Clark eX-
petition up the Missouri river more
than one hundred years ago was
found by Frank Hayes, OF Sully coun-
ty. living nea the Missouri river. The
relic is in the form of an old flintlock
musket. Such weapons passed out of
common usage long before the advent
of the white settlers in Dakota. The
musket IA found in what are known
as the Okobojo hills a rough section
of country in Sully county. The stock
of the ancient weapon is almost en-
tirely rotted off and the barrel is saw
ed off 10 about twelve inches in
length. When found the musket was
loaded and the flint was in it's pro-
per place ready for firing. The mus
ket was manufactured by II. e. Lee
man at Lancaster, Pa, and has the
initials III. f. T." scratched on it,
Ten notches are filed on the side of
the barrel. these evidently denoting
the number of kills" made with the
old weapon. The mystery of the own
ership of the ancient musket may
never be solved.

SOUTH DAKOTA BETTER.

A friend OF The Republican sends
this paper a clipping from the Port
land Evening Telegram, containing
an interview with J.. l.. Ellis. a farm
er who went from the middle west
to the Pacific coast, lured by the
stories of big prices and big profits.
Mr.. Ellis is going back to Missouri.
where he will buy 12O acres of land
and engage in farming. He asserts
that the difficulties and cost OF
marketing fruit and vegetables and
other products on the Pacific coast
are so large that it is impossible to
make a living profit from the amount
left for the producer.
II had some nice apples last year,
Kings" said Ellis. "They were beau
tiful fruit, sound, we'll packed and
apparently a highly marketable pro-
duct. / shipped them in on the o. w.
my. pcACo, llSISuI anu CcllIIllS-
sion charged in selling them cost me
so cents a box. They paid me 20
cents a box, leaving me a net profit
of 20 cents. That was not d living
profit. | had a man call the company
up to which sold and try to buy the
apples. The commission house want
ed 1928 a box for them. When 1
saw this disproportion between what
the intermediate mar got and what
comes to the actual producer. l gave
it up, and concluded to get back to
the middle west, where there are
larger centers of population"
The experience of Ellis is simply
the same as the experience of thou
sands of others who have been at
tracted to the far west. Only those
who have been on the ground and
tried to solve the problem know how
great are the difficulties of market
ing fruit in quantities. This is the

THE RELATION OF LEVlES TIC
TAXES.

The state tax commission proposes
to perform a much-needed cervice
for the people of South Dakota. A
series of articles upon the subject of
taaXtion is to be sem to the news
| papers of the state with q request
that they be published. This will be
splendid-providing the commission
educates the people along the right
line. III that body attempts to support
any scheme for taxation which pen
Allies thrift and double taxes the
borrowers for example, the tax
on mortgages covering property al
ready taXed-then they will only
make a Very bad situation worse. Let
it be hoped that their articles will
express broad principles OF justice
and freedom from pre%-conceived or
antiquated methods of taxation.
In the first of it's series of articles,
the tax, commission sets out to prove
that IAN entirely unwarranted i'm
portance is given in the popular dis
cussion of taxation to the rate of
levy" In support of this statement,
the commission says:
The very first step is the fixing
of the amount of money to be raised,
and that, rather than the rate, de-
ternlines 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 a matter of ma
thematical calculation. The assessed
value Of the property and the amour
Of revenue to be raised are the i'm
portant features in the tax, the rate
being simply the factor used to COM
pute the proportion of the total tax
that each taxpayer should contri-
butte.
Let us illustrate: Suppose a tax
ing district having an assessed value
of $1,000, 600 desires to raise $1O,-
900 for public purposes by taxation.
Clearly a levy of ten mills or M
cent OF each dollar of assessed value
would be necessary TO produce the re-
CURED amount of revenue. Now sup
pose the assessed value of the same
