BOARDS OF REVIEW
How Assessments of Property
Are Reviewed Under the
New Law

Pierre. July Three different
boards of review and equalization ex-
anime assessment records.
The first is the township board Of
supervisors. 1t is allowed six days in
which to do the work and assessors are
required to post notices of the meeting
at least ten days previous to the
meeting. The members meet annually
on the fourth Monday in June at the
Office of the town clerk. Their first
duty is to see that all taxable property
in the district has been properly
placed upon the list and appraised by
the assessor as the law requires, and to
correct the assessment, SO that every
tract or article of property is shown.
Parties owning property in the district
may appear before this board and have
their assessment carefully reviewed
and corrected, il not made according
to Law.
The second board is the county board
of equalization, composed Of the com
m~issioners and the auditor. 1t meets
annually on the first Tuesday in July
at the Office of the auditor and is al
lowed fifteen days to do its work. The
members take an oath fairly and
impartially to perform their duties as
members of such board, and then ex-
anime and compare the returns and
of property in the various
taxing districts of the county and
equalize them, so that all property
shall be entered on the assessment
list at its true and full value.
Briefly stated the powers of the
county board. are: To raise or lower
the valuation Of any tract or tracts of
real estate or any class or article of
personal property. 30 that it will be
assessed at it's true and foil value: up
on complaint to review individual as
sessments and bring values either up
or down to what the property is actual
ly worth. but VIXEN the owner is a
resident of the county no assessment
shall be raised until due notice has
been given; when the total value of
real or personal property OF both in
any township, as returned by the as.
SCISSOR and reviewed by the township
board, appears to be below actual
value required by law, they may
raise the total.
On the first Monday in August of
each year, the tax commission, which
takes the place of the former state
board of equalization, examines the
returns of the counties Of the state
for the purpose of equalizing assess
ment between them. 1t is given con-
siderable power, such as to proceed
against taxing officers who do not
obey the law; to examine witnesses;
to receive and pass on complaints of
individuals; and finally to order re-.

SPEED LAW
Enforced at Lead Auto Drivers
Arrested and Fined

Lad, July THAT the officials of
Lead are determined to stop the speed
ing of autos and motorcycles through
the city streets was demonstrated most
effectively when thirty of the most
prominent owners of cars in the city
were Unexpectedly arrested and
brought toto the municipal court
charged with violating the speed ordin-
ancs. For several weeks past Mayor
Howard aud the commissioners have
been receiving complaints of speeding
and have given frequent warning
through the newspapers. As this did
not have the desired effect the mayor
selected two lawns on upper Main
street where most of the speeding is
done, stationed two detectives, one at
each place, each equipped with a
stopwstch and each hidden behind
trees.
The detectives timed all passing
autos, took lists of names and other
memoranda and when the proof vas
complete. wsrrants were sworn ont
and the arrests made. The affair
created a mild sensation owing to the
prominence of some of the car owners,
and the quiet way in which the trap
was laid The evidence was sufficient
and many car owners declared that
they were unaware That they had
been going so fast. Each was con
victed and assessed a fine of $l5 which
was paid in all except one case where
the defendant appealed to higher court
and asked for a trail by jury.

The storm followed a sultry period of
an hours duration and nearly every
person in Pipestone was out Of doors
watching the clouds when the funnel
formed and passed in an eafterly direc-

hall was the first structure demolished
and the big dancing hall a short dis

foundation. The cloud then cleared
several farms of all of their small
buildings. Its full force was felt at
the farm home of Thomas CLANCY.
All of his buildings were destroyed,
hardly a piece of wreckage being left
on the farm. The members of the
CLANCY family were all at home and
went to the cellar when they saw
the funnel shaped cloud coming

COURT TAKES SLAM
AT THE GOVERNOR
APPEAL COURT CONDEMNS CRIT
IC1SM OF IT BY CRUCE.
Judge Doyle in Written opinion Bit
tcrly Condemns His "Unfoundcd
and Infamous Assault"

OKLAHOMA CITY. oct. 4.-(Spe-
ciaI. In a written opinion by Judge
Thomas J. Doyle of the criminal court
of appeals Saturday Governor Cruce
is severely condemned for his "un-
founded and infamous assault upon
the integrity of the court and its de-
cision in the George Crump habeas
corpus proceedings, which was given
in a letter explaining his non-attend-
ance at the conference Of governors
at Colorado Springs last summer. Tho
opinion in the Crump case, given
verbally by the court several weeks
ago was handed down Saturday by
the court. having been written by
Judge Doyle and concurred in by the
two other members. Crump was
serving a term in the state penlten-
tiary and received an unconditional
pardon from Lieutenant Governor
McAlester on August ,, at which
time Governor Cruce was in Kansas
city. Upon the latter's return, he
issued an order attempting to revoke
the pardon. but on appeal to the
the lieutenant governor was upheld
and Crump discharged from custody.
In explanation for his non-attendance
az the governors conference, Cover
nor Cruce was quoted as saying that
the criminal court had Joined hands
with the lieutenant governor in this
raid on the penal institutions by
h.
H. acting governor even during
temporary absence Of the governor
from the state.
This emanat on Of official arrog
auce and vindictive malevelence,"
Judge Doyle says, received nation
wide publicity through the public
press The reason we suppose is that
Tie spectacle of a governor publicly
assailing q high court Of his state is
without question precedent in the an
nails Of the republic.
AS a member Of the court. and the
Judge who rendered the opinion, I
feel hat when chief executive Of
ficer Of the state becomes so lost TO
the properties Of position and a prop
or sense Of decorum that he presumes
in his official capacity and in pub
II, manner to malign and condemn
one of the courts Of last resort. be-
cause its decision did not conform TO
his views. that 1t becomes necessary
for the good name Of the state and
u' order to preserve the respect and
confidence of the people that the
court should vlndicate itself by con-
Gemning such an assault
1T may be that he governor can
not be made to answer at the bar for

How well the members Of this
court have honored their high trust,
is a matter for the people to deter
