Express Companys' Tax.

Express Compdnys ak.
Pierre-The apportionment Of eI-
press company taxes to the different
counties of the state this year
amounts to only s1,83S.96, as the
larger companies are contesting pay
ment in the courts, and only the
smaller companies paying their taxes.
The sleeping car tax is $1,440, and
the telegraph tax 1914. These
amounts being distributed to the diff
ferent counties in which the property
Of these corporations are located,
mostly going in small sums.

Commiaslon Stands Pat.

Pierre.-The tax commission has
given out it's final finding IN the mat
ter Of the assessmentof the Home
stake Mining company, following a
hearing given to the officers of the
company here, and the listed valua-
ton of the company goes onto the
tax books at s16,755,170. Last year
the assessed valuation, supposed to be
one-fourth Of actual vaiuation, was
$2,10O,000.
The local assessors and county
board Of Lawrence county made re.
turn on the Homestake valuation this
year of $S,200,000, these figures sup
posed to represent the actual valua-
ton, according to orders given by the
tax commission. AS the levy rate this
year probably will be about one
fourth of last year. this return would
have made an actual tax reduction for
the Homestake.
Figures presented to the tax COM
mission from Lawrence county show
that the valuation now fixed is en-
tirely conservative and reasonable
and it Is not believed tnat 1t can be
disturbed In court.

How to Compute Time for Parole.

How to Compute Time for Parole.
Pierre.-The attorney general holds
that in computing the time when half
a sentence is served in cases where
parole can be exercised at the com.
pletion of half the term, the method
of computing such expiration of time
is taking good time earned plus the
time served, and when the two added
equal half the term Of sentence, the
parole feature of the sentence becomes
effective. This has been called out
by the assumption or claim that all
the possible good time which might
be earned by the convict for the full
term Of sentence should be used in
computing half the term of his SEN
tence.
He also holds that speedy trial by
jury" in county court means at the
earliest possible date for calling a
jury in such court, which is only
given the right to call jury at the
July and January terms.

TO MAKE CHANGES
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
TO REVISE STATES CONSTi.
TUITION BOUND TO COME.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City. the Various
State institutions and From
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

Pierre.-That the matter of a con-
stitutiOnal convention for revision of
the constitution of this state is not
to be presented to the people without
contest is apparently certainty
even this early in the game There
will be opposition from several sources
one Of these being voiced a few
days ago from one Of the old stall
Wart organizations, who is bitterly op-
posed to a convention at this time for
the reason that ";he people just now
are too full of crank ideas which they
would attempt to inject into a con-
stitution in case the opportunity is
given to them to take any such ac-
ton. "Other opposition will come
from those who oppose any increase in
salaries of state officials. The sal
1886, over a quarter OF a century ago,
and were based on financial condi-
tions Of those days, which were not
the most prosperous on the Dakota
prairies While the salaries of state
officials have stood still all that time
striction, the salaries of county Off
GERS have been changed to meet
changed conditions, until now county
officers in many counties get even
greater salaries than do state officers.
and have been advanced far above the
figures considered as ample thirty
years ago.
On the other hand the good roads
people who are somewhat Of force
in the state are desiring the conven-
ton to allow some change which will
give the state power to take a part
In the building of good roads, and in
cidentally into line for securing part
of the appropriation Of the national
government for roads which will only
be paid after the state has done a
share toward that end, which Is i'm
possible under the present constitu-
ton. Tax revision will also be an ele-
ment in the question Of new consti-
tuition, and the action Of the present
tax commission on insisting on as
early as possible actual valuations on
property will bring that issue more
forcibly to the people than all the
discussions along academic lines could
do in a decade.
With two candidates for governor,
and two for the senate already in the
field, after the meetings at Huron on
the 10th of September the next cam
paign in this state might be called in
full blast, and a prominent democrat
of the state few days ago expressed
it in his opinion that after the
present campaign is closed up in No
vember Of next year and all parties
stop to take stock, they will be ready
to admit that what they thought were
hot campaigns in the past in South
Dakota, were merely kindergarten and
preparatory work to what the cam
paign finished at that time has
brought to the front, under the new
primary law, and the split factions OF
both of the old parties.

star attraction in the person of Frank

any number of cleaning stars from

If the insurance lagents had stolen
the body af the 1ate E. o. Painter and
had mutilated it, as was claimed, it
would have been an indictable of
fense, and the people of Jacksonville
would have been SO aroused with in
dignation that the Getty would hardly
have been safe for them as an abid-
ing place. If nothing more severe
had been meted out to them they
would have long since been arrested
and bound over to the grand jury. But
they were not guilty of those offenses
against private feelings and public de-
cency AS We have said before, the
autopsy was held at the instigation
of the Painter Company, with the con-
sent and approval of the family of the
deceased. The story that the insur-
ance agents stole the body like
ghouls and hacked it to pieces like
fends. was an objectionable piece of
yellow journalism.
