Justice in Taxation

This is the first practical and fund
amental progressive public policy ad-
vocated in South Dakota. r. O. Rich
ards independent candidate for Gov
ernor Is In favor OF taxing real estate
and incomes only, with a separate
levy for each. He calls this the dual
SYSTEM Of taxation. Richards is
against direct taxation of any kind OF
buildingso or personal property because
these classes OF property include pro-
ducts Of labor, If there is an income
from buildings or personal property
the income tax will cover the same
Justly. A small restricted income
tax will gradually lower real estate
taxes. because as wealth increases the
receipts from the income tax will in
crease, and the tax on real estate VIII
be proporuionateiy less. Richards
fayors a permanent, standardized, re-
lative and equalized assessment OF
real estate; in place OF Governors
Byrnes ~fuctuating selling value asses
sment; heralded IS a full value assess
ment, which can never be settled or
determined. Richards declares no
revision of real estate assessment Is
necessary when once made relative
and equalized and standardized, be-
cause value Of real estate ultimately
depends upon it's income and the In
come tax will therefore cover all tut
ure increase In value of real estate.
Richards is right. Governor Byrne Is
mistaken in attem pting to follow the
selling value OF land for yearly assess
ment basis. Do not fail to turn out
to vote November 3rd. Vote for the
candidate for Governor who has tho
ught out the right public policy to
advance equity in assessment which
is the basis for justice in taxation.
Do not vote blindIy for the party la
bel when the platform is unsound.
Vote for the Candidate for Governor
who presents a new public policy that
is sound and makes for equity In state
government and you will thereby al
ways vote for the right mar for a
leader to be Governor.

MILITARY STRATEGY.
Why More 10 Gained by Woundin
Than BY kiilinp an Enemy.

Than BY Killing an Enemy.
In q letter to the Army and Navy
journal retired army officer says that
no intelligent soldier will 6re dun.
dun or an .expl9f.&e bullet at the en-
emy, for thesla Hueril.
The object 6SMeN'rii!emnn is not to
kill an enemy. 6St to wound him. "a
dead man is simply one soldier lost
from his army. He Is not burden to
any one. A wounded soldier must be
taken care OF. Foui wounded soldiers
must have an ambulance with two
horses and an ablebOdied soldier driver
Thirty wounded soldiers must have
a surgeon. a hospital steward and ten
or a dozen able bodied soldiers to aid
the doctor and wait upon and nurse the
wounded men. The ambulances block
the roads and delay the troops. espe
cially the artillery and, the supply
wagons.
"When man Is hurt every one y
anxious to get MIN NJ nGce to Q doctor.
II the troops on tl,- firing line are not
well disciplined and n soldier Ia wound.
ed there will be three u four soldiers
who are willing and anxious to carry
him to the rear.
"F0r every soldier wounded the firing
line loses four soidiers. and hundred
men wounded means that 400 men are
lost To the firing line, for they never re-
Join their regiments until the battle b
over"
