ONE MILL LEVY


Pierre, sept. In conformity to q
prediction made by Governor Byrne
some time ago. the South Dakota tax
commission has cut the levy for state
purposes thin year to 1..mill, which Is
just one-fcurth of the levy made last
year. The state had the right to a A.
mill levy this year, under the act of
the legislature, but the feeling of
the governor and the tax commission
has been that special pains should be
taken TO prevent creating more rev.
enue from tax funds under the change
made this year to a system of actual
valuations. They have held that the
spirit Of the new system should govern.
With this reduction in the levy rate
no property will pay more taxes fol-
state purposes than last year unless
the listed valuation this year is in
excess of four times the listed valua.
ton of last year. In order to main
tain that condition throughout the state
it will be necessary for the city. town
ship and county taxing boards to re-
duce their levies in proportion to the
increases made in valuations. They
have been urged to do this by the
commission.
The property assessment of the state
this year, OF the basis Of actual valu.
alton, Is approximately 81, 400, 000.-
600. II is fully recognized by the
that the assessment secured
of n and credits falls far short of
a reasonable showing, but that phase
of the taxation is conceded to be a
matter for slow reform.
The state rate on corporation proper
ty will be Q mills this year, as against
% mills last year. The total state as
sessment for 1912, exclusive of corpor-
alton property, was $3.50, 600. 600. The
valuation this year is a triHe less than
four times that of 1919.

SCHOOL LAW
Rulings On Different Points by
Attorney General johnson

Pierre, Sept. 1. Attorney General
johnson rules that the reports of
county clerks of school districts and
the tIeasurers must agree and that
the county superintendent of schools
should determine the accuracy of such
reports before approving them. Un-
less this is done the report of the
state superintendent to the governor
cannot be properly made.
The question was brought to the
attorney general on complaint from
Hanson county. where the clerk
claimed he was not required to report
on amount paid for redemption of war
rants. bonds, interest past due, etc.
and contended he should only report
warrants he issued during the year.
This state of affairs created indiffer-
euce ia the t~reasurer's and clerks re-.

FIRE AND ACCIDENT
At TOWN OF SCHURz

On Wednesday night Of this week

ire occurred between 7 and o'clock

loss is in the neighborhood of Sl.5uO

During the FIRE a revolver in the

will probably prove fatal. The bullet

Another question asked is, what is
essential to an efficient, well-rounded
secondary education, Space will not
allow an extensive answer to this
When we are sick we consult doctor
because he has specialized in the line
OF diseases. when we need legal ad
vice we interview our lawyer Why
not iii questions relating to education
accept the opinions OF those who have
made a study of it. A little observa-
ton and perusal of the plans of school
buildings reveals to us that scarcely
a school building is being erected to
day without rooms for commercial
work. domestic science and manual
training besides the recitation rooms
for history, English, etc 1t is also
noticed that these buildings are pro-
vided with assembly rooms and gym
nasiums There is a tendency today
to allow TIE public the use of school
buildings for meetings such as parents
meetings, farmers institutes. lectures,
entertainments. in addition toathe stu
dents affairs, as literary programs. de
bates, contests. etc. Much use is thus
made OF both the assembly room and
the gymnasium at times by both the
pupils and the public The high school
has unfortunately been obliged to rent
hall for every occasion at an expense
and great Inconvenience One of the
noble ends of living is to better ones
environment May that principle ex-
tend to lines OF education. Other
schools are offering, or beginning to
offer advantages to students for better
education We should offer to the
young people Of this county opportun-
ites equal to theirs or we cannot in
duce them to come
Now, Is the county able TO erect a
suitable high school building2 What
we want is probably not what we will
get. a bond issue of $4,000 is what
We need. Ely and Tonopah, each with
a smaller attendance than we have,
are erecting $4,000 buildings How
ever, for a basis upon which to figure,
let us saw that the county is bonded
for $4,000 The railroad pays approx
imately half the taxes, divide the other
half by the population of the county
and we find the average cost per capita
would be less than four dollars. Reno
and Tonopah are each paying over
eleven dollars Again. the principal
and interest on the bonds. il 20-year
bonds. would not exceed 5000 Es-
tmating the assessed valuation at
S6000000. this only FIVE cents on the
Sl00 \ person who has property val
ued at S20N0 would pav only one dol
lar tax This certainly is not exor
bitant Anyone ought to be ashamed
who would oppose it.
In conclusion, therefore, we beg the
public to kindly consider the above
and to unite in demanding what it
must consider necessity, believing
that an investment for good schools
is always pavinp one.
