DR.. ~BRACkEN'S LECTURE

DR.. Bracken of St. Paul, president of
the Minnesota Medical Society, lectur.
ed at the First Presbyterian church
Thursday evening on Public Health"
The lecture was an interesting and in
structive one and is certain to result
in much benefit to the community.
Following are some of the points that
the doctor brought out:
The trend of modern medicine is to-
ward the prevention of disease. The
discovery of specific germs as the
true cause of many diseases and the
laws governing their spread had led to
this change in practice. By the elimi-
nation of the contagion-carrying mos
quito localities where malarial and vel
low fevers once prevailed have been
made safe and healthy.
Typhoid fever a water borne dis
ease has virtually disappeared when
water and milk supplies have been
made pure and flies and other carriers
of the specific cause of the disease
have been provided against.
The prevention of small pox by rae
cination vase commented upon, like
wise prevention of diphtheria, scarlet
leVer ana medsleS by proper SduIId-
ten and isolation was noted.
In Minnesota more deaths were re-
ported from sequela of measles than
from small pox, diphtheria and scarlet
fever.
The enormous waste of life through
preventable disease and death, the
conservation o. health by better sani,
tation are economic problems deserv-
ing the serious consideration of the
public.
The cost Of conserving health is very
small compared with the expense of
needless illness and sudden death.
The canal zone had by the proper
enforcement of sanitary measures been
made safe and healthy at the cost OF
one cent a day per capita.

district having an assessed value of
81 ,00G, 900 desires to raise $4,000 for
public purposes by taxation. Clearly
a levy of ten mills or one cent on each
dollar Of assessed value would be nee
essary to produce the required amount
of revenue. Now suppose the assess
ed value of the same property was in
creased to $4,000, 900, then five mills or
one~half of one cent would be sufficient
to produce the required $4,000. In the
first case AS property being assessed
at 81 1000, he pays $40 in taxes; in the
second place, while his assessed value
has been doubled, the rate has been
cut in half, and he still pays but $40
in taxes. The rate then becomes a
mere incident, and not at all a matter
of first Importance.
The next article will show the man
ner of making levies and the limita-
tons fixed by law.

THE BIG MEET

Everett c. Brown, director general
of the American Olympic Games Asso-
citation Of Chicago has been secured as
referee of the big Northwestern Con-
ference meet at Huron, tomorrow and
Saturday. 1t is announced also that
other big men in athletics will be Sc
cured for other officials.
Manager c. w. Hochstetler is put
ting up a bath tent for athletes, with
both hot and cold water connections.
A separate tent will also be provided
for each competing team. The COM
mittee is 10 busy securing rooms in
Huron for every visitor to the meet.
Track fans have it doped out that
the meet will be so close that as low
as fifteen or twenty points will win.
The three states contain the ~speediest
athletes in the West, so some records
are sure to be smashed. A. G.. Spald-
ing and Bros. have offered a large cup
to the winners of the meet.
President Hochstetler has been bill
ing all the important towns within one
hundred miles of Huron, which with
the special railroad rates and various
special trains will Isl a mammoth
attendance. 1t is expected that the
state fair grounds will be the scene
of the greatest crowd of sport lovers
in the history Of the Tri-State Confer
ence.
Already, there is some discussion of
where the big meet will be held next
year. One town is already bidding for
the event and has made a handsome
offer to secure 1t. This matter will
come up at the next conference meet
ing.

THE TAXATION QUESTION

The new state TAI commission sends
us the first of a series Of articles deal
ing with the new taxation methods.
The commission says in explanation of
the article:
This commission is anxious to have
the taxation problems Of South Da-
kota thoroughly and fairly discussed,
and it is hoped the interest Of the
taxpayers of the state will be so
aroused that they will familiarize
themselves with some OF the main
facts Of this great proposition. Until
this is brought about there will be no
prospect for substantial betterment in
the assessment and taxation system
of South Dakota. No one denies that
this discussion should be entirely free
from misrepresentation and distorted
facts, and that each and every phase
considered should be dealt with fairly
and squarely."
The article Is as follows:
An entirely unwarranted Importance
is given in the popular discussion of
taxation to the rate of levy. 1t is often
discussed as If it wer the main factor
in taxation, while as a 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 is this Importance
given to the rate. The rate Is a mathe-
matical convenience and may be high
or low without really affecting the
amount of taxes to be paid, for IL
assessed values are high the rate will
be low. and vice versa; If 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 ls determined, the fixing OF the
rate is simply a matter Of mathe
matical calculation. The assessed
value Of property and the amount ol
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
taxpayer should contribute.
