These can be provided by central am

None can question that the South

to take place in Mitchell next week,
has big possibilities. The extent to
which they are realized will depend
upon the interest shown in the meet
Ing and the subsequent tasks, by
those who are or should be primar-

That the subject of this confer
ence is q practical one was attested
when President Roosevelt caused the
appointment OF a commission to study
country life and to devise means
whereby to make it more satisfactory,
both socially and financially. Little

tical winds that beset it.
There is much grumbling the world
over about the cost of food products

from the farm to the city has caused
apprehension lest these prices are
still farther advanced. Add to this the

THE STATES ASSESSMENT.

STE SptE2Fds.13 kET ENA
While The Republican believes as
firmly us ever that the state tax com
mission made a mistake in ordering
q par valuation at the very outset of
Its eistence, that Is no reason why
this paper should not recognize and
applaud th evident sincerity with
which the commission has attempted
to bring about an equitable assess
ment Of the property of the state.
AS a result of the order Of the
commission requiring a full assess
ment of property, the valuation of the
property Of the state will be multi
piled about fourfold. going up to
a billion and a quarter dollars. This
means that the lidis off of every local
tax levy in the state and that the
amount to be raised by taxes can be
made four times as great as last
year. This is the principal reason
why The Republican has believed
the commission erred In Judgment in
ordering q par assessment, when the
state for moro than two decades had
considered this requirement of the
law a dead letter. Ordinarily law IN
forcement is only to be commended,
but the fact that the legislature
clearly arranged its levy limits upon
the basis of a one-third valuation,
notwithstanding the law requiring a
full valuation, made this an except
ionai case; affording an opportunity
TO say that the legislature had inter
preted the constitution and the law
as saying something different from
Its face declaration.

Look to your harness. Avoid these
faults, especially: Bride too long OF

Drive your horse all the time. Feel
his mouth gently. Never jerk the
reins.
Teach your horses to go into the
collar gradually. When load IS to
be started, speak to the horses ana
take a firm hold of the reins so that
thew will arch their necks, keep their
legs under them, and step on their
toes. A loose rein means spraying
and slipping, often with one horse
ahead of the other.
Water your horse as often as pos
sible. Water in moderate quantities
will not hurt him, so long as he keeps
moving.
