After all the main issue in every
political campaign is political power.
Men tear their hair in abusing and
denourcing other men who are often
as good as themselves if not better
But it is usually only small per cent
of the people who make most Of the
fuss. The great majority stand back
size up the situation, consider what
the candidates stand for, and vote ac-
cording to their own notion as to
who they would rather entrust with
power. And generally speaking the
majority decides about right from ev-
cry standpoint.

The record from the first issue OF
The Enquirer for 1860, shows that the
town of Yorkville was making brave
start educationally, socially and COM
mercially at the beginning Of the year
preceding the great Civil war. The
country generally appeared to be tre-
mendously prosperous with splendid
outlook for the future, with the excep-
ton of the lowering war clouds. AL
though there was in the general po-
litical situation much that was dis
turbing, it does not appear that there
was any conception of the threatened
danger Immediately ahead.

The postoffice appropriation bill
which now awaits the signature OF

ties named have gone into the mails
at higher rate than was provided by
the parcels post schedule, and Senator
Tillman has been working for more
than a year to have the matter cor
rected.

The farmers of York county are not
allowed to have public cotton weigh
ers even if they so desire. 1t is time
that these farmers begin paying more
attention to the kind Of men they elect
as representatives and give those rep
resentatives to understand that they
are expected to go to Columbia in the
interest Of their constituents instead
of themselves. While it is no doubt
true as Senator Banks Of Calhoun
once said, that the people stand nc
more show in the legislative halls than
a yellow dog" it ought not to remain
true, and it is up to the people to see
that the situation is changed.

What is the use Of standing back on
that drainage proposition? Others
have tried it sufficiently to show the
practicability Of the plan, and a little
debt amounts to nothing in a case
where profitable investment is assur-
ed. Give York county creeks thorough
drainage, and the bottoms will yield
corn enough to feed half the state. Let
us do something along this line.

1t seems to be generally believed in
Washington that the portion Of the
Panama canal law which provides for
the exemption Of coastwise vessels

the senate not to take up consideration
of the matter until after it has been
passed by the house.

STANLEY COUNTY
Strongly i'm Favor of Dividing the
County.

Pierre. Sept. 30.-Division of
Stanley county into three parts APP
pears to be practically certain at the
coming election if the tone of the
press over the county is any indica-
ton of the real situation, and the
probabilities are for the creation of
Jackson and Hakkan counties in the
western part of Stanley. Four years
ago, when the proposition was up,
there IA so much opposition that no
result was attained by the vote.
The conflicting propositions in the
question of division of Meade county
have been eliminated by the county
commissioners on reconsideration,
declining to put the issue of creation
of Delano county upon the ballot, as
the petition for that purpose was all
shot to pieces" by Withdrawals fled
with the board. This leaves only the
proposition for two county division,
setting off that part of Meade county
north of Belle Fourche river as White
Owl county and leaving that portion
south of the stream under the name
Of Meade.

TO FIX RATES
of Railroads Hold
Session at Highmore.

Highmore, Sept. 29.-Representa-
tives of the traffic departments of the
Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul and
the Chicago & Northwestern railways
are engaged in an effort to adjust
discriminatory freight rates on grain
from the Orient and Seneca line of
the Milwaukee company and from
Highmore on the Northwestern to
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Chicago, 1t
is claimed the towns along the Mil
waukee line mentioned always have
had a better freight rate than High
more and other towns along the
Northwestern line, and that because
of this the grain dealers along the
Highmore line have been handicapped
in securing their share of the grain
of the territory. AS the result of the
now being made it is believed
the rates will be adjusted to the sat
isfaction of all concerned.

STATE TAN LEVY
Statement by Chairman Henry of the
Tax Commission.

Pierre, Sept. 30.-A statement on
the relation of income to revenue in

ticularly interesting In view of the
fight In the late primary which large
ly conferred around the tax commits
sion and its declaration that the low

enue. Asked for such a statement,
Chairman Henry of the tax commits
sion, said:
During 1913 and subsequent to the
action of the tax commission making
a 1-mill levy for state taxes for that
period, Ii was repeatedly charged
that this 1-mill levy would not be
sufficient to meet the appropriations.
Gov. Byrne called on the commits
sion for a statement of facts in re-
gard to this levy and under date of
February 5, 1914, l made a detailed
reply. Here is the table l submitted:
