LEGAL BATTLE
Lumber Companies Will Put Up
Big Fight Against the
State.

Parker, May 90. What promises to
deelvop into one of the most interesting
legal battles in South Dakota history
will be staged in Parker commencing
May 81, the case being that of state
VS.. old line lumber dealers of Geddes,
transferred to the Turner county court
because of alleged prejudice.
The state will attempt to prove
that the old line lumber companies of
Geddes violated the anti discrimination
laws of the state in selling cheaper in
one town than in other towns, the re-
d%uctions being made in competition
with independent concerns.
What adds interest to the case is
the prominent talent which has been
retained on both sides. and the fact
that already about 40 witnesses have
been s~ubpuenaed. For the state, At
torney General johnson will be assisted
by Assistant Attorney General O'Brien,
Attorney A. B. Beck and former United

TAKING PROBLEM
The Rate or Levy an Incident
Amount of Money to Be
Raised the Factor.

Pierre, May 22.-The state tax com
mission, members of which are Civ
ing the taxing problem a study, plan
to publish a series of educational
articles of which the following Is the
first:
An entirely unwarranted importance
Is given in the popular discussion of
taxation to the rate Of levy. 1t ia
often discussed as IL it were the main
factor in taxation, while as a matter
of fact, the important factor Is the
amount of money to be raised for pub
lie purposes in any taxing district.
Knowledge of the several steps taken
in the process Of raising public revenue
should show how erroneous is this inn
portance given to the rate. The rate
is a mathematical 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
IL assessed values are low the rate
will be high.
The very first step Of the fixing OF
the amount of money to be raised,
and that. rather than the rate, deter.
mines whether the tax will be high
or low.
When the amount of money to be
raised is determined, the fixing of the
rate is simply q matter of mathematical
calculation. The assessed value Of the
property and the amount of revenue &c
be raised are the important features in
the tax, the rate being simply the fac
tor used to compute the proportion OF
the total tax that each taxpayer
should contribute.
Let us illustrate: Suppose q tax
ing district having an assessed value
of 81, 0o0, 900 desires to raise $40, 600
for public purposes by taxation. Clear.
ly a levy Of ten mills or one cent on
each dollar of assessed value would
be necessary to produce the required
amount of revenue. Now suppose the
assessed value of the same property
was increased to 90, 900, 900. then Eve
mills or half Ut one cent would be
sufficient to produce the required &c.
600. In the first case As property be-
ing assessed at 81, 900, he pays $40 IN
taxes; 10 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.
