Mr. Lincoln was not at FIRST disposed
to take the suggestion fayorably, but

Under the new form of govern
ment the changes that will be made
necessary from the borough form is
that the City will be divided into two
wards, with two precincts in each
ward, three councilmen will be select
ed from each ward, with a council
man-at-large, making seven in all
One freeholder from each of the two
wards will represent the municipality
instead of one from the Borough as
heretofore. The Mayor will not pre-
side at Council meetings as hereto
fore. but will be succeeded by a Pres
ident of Council to be elected by that
body. The City Clerk will be elected
instead of appointed. There will be
a tax assessor for each ward.
All of the present officials hold Of
fee until the next regular election in
November, when a complete set of
City officers will be chosen by the peo-
pie. 1t is expected that many reforms
will be inaugurated and that much
needed legislation for the advance
ment of Pleasantville will now be
forthcoming.

Crawford and Johnson both
tried to explain what a good thing
the TAX commission is for the
people of South Dakota. How it
boosted the taxes Of the HOmestake
Mining company III the Black
Hills. But they failed to explain
why the taxes in all other parts Of
the state had increased so RAPIDLY
during the past year or two.
Mr.. Crawford SAID that the tax
commission reached in behind the
local assessors in the Black Hills
country and boosted the Home
stake assessments several millions
of dollars. From he increased

Judge that the commission took
another reach and went III behind

been sending out d large quantity
of printed matter and circular
letters. TLey have been trying to
convince the taxpayers that the

in this state. The best proof that
the property holder can have as to
the truth Of the machines state
ment is the tax notices received
this year. Are yOur 1913, taNp-

Help Absent Voters

Attorney w. Nj. Potts has just
called our attention to the fact that
the last Legislature enacted a law
making it possible for those voters,
properly registered, who are Oblig.
ed to be absent from this precinct
next Tuesday. elect n day, TO vote
by mail. Those who desire to do
this must make a written applica-
ton accompanied by affidavit, to
the clerk of election, or to the
county auditor. and by leaving an
Identification slip of their signature
with said officer. They ale there
upon given an official ballot which
they can fill ont in the presence of
the Clerk and send by registered
mail to the Superintendent Of
election.
These ballots are dropped in the
ballot box, aft + being opened but
not read by the Judges and count
ed with the other ballots Those
desiring to vote in this way can
do so Saturday or Monday. In
ease the voter should then be in
the city on Tuesday during election
hours, the envelope a be return
ed to him and he can vote in the
usual way. There are doubtless
many of the train men who can
save their right to vote by making
use Of this law.
