CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION,

The Vermilion Republican thinks that the more the question is
studied the more convincing it becomes to many minds that there is
utter lack of necessity for calling a constitutional convention for
South Dakota. ~
The Saturday News does not know but that the Nermillion paper
is right. With the initiative and referendum at their command, the
people would seem to have a fair opportunity now for so amending
the constitution as to meet their views. &
A constitutional convention would merely call together an as
SrmbIagc of men IS a result Of an election. 1t would be but the
assembling of a Legislative body clothed only with powers to revise the
state constitution for the purpose Of submitting it to the people for
ratification.
Our present constitution does not seem to be so Anticipated as
to need remodeing throughout, and, as we have already suggested,
we have the means at hand for revising it once in two years if we see
TT to do so. =@
AS an indication of our opportunities under existing arrange
mcnts, the Vermillion paper calls attention to the fact that eight
amendments to he constitution are now pending before the people
to be voted upon in November.

THE FRUIT MARKET IN THE WEST.

As showing the conditions confronting the fruit growers of the
west this year, a brief item from the Critic, published at Grand
sanction, Colo, is an Indicator. The Mr.. Plank mentioned formerly
lived at Clear Lake, S. D. The Critics report says:
q. G. Plank shipped as first shipment twentynine crates of
eantaloupes. He got returns September %, with a request that he
remit 1886, as that was the amount he was IN debt on the twenty
rine crates of cantalonpes. Later (before getting returns on the
first shipment) he shipped one hundred and fftynine crates and as
yet has no returns on these. The same man has 1,5oO boxes of APP
pies and has been offered soc a box, he furnishing the boxes and
loading them
Cantaloupe crates cost the grower anout twelve cents each,
cash; apple boxes cost, including the making (Which costs one cent,
fifteen cents each, cash.
The gentleman mentioned not only bought his cantaloupe crates,
paying twelve cents each for them, but he planted and cultivated the
growing vines and picked the melons and packed them and dehV-
cred them at the railroad statiOn-and on twenty nine crates he IS
asked to put up 1886 for the privilege of performing all the work
indicated, besides furnishing the soil on which the melons grew.
This is the third time within the past decade that the canta-
lonpe growers of the west have encountered similar conditions, al
though perhaps this year is the worst OF ALL
1t is likewise the second time within three years that the apple
growers have received next to nothing for their apple crops. In
Guiding the boxes, it costs not less than th1rtyfour cents a box to
pick, pack and deliver apples at the railway station ready for
shipment. This does not include any labor, nor any expenses, mel
dent to producing the apples on the trees ready to be picked. The
fhirtyfour cents does not any more than pay the actual st auer
the fruit is ripe,
The man who gets but fSy cents a box for his apples is losing
money in growing them, to say nothing whatever with regard to IN
derest on the investment.
The Saturday News feels impeled to warn its readers against
pInnging headlong into fruit raising in the west. 1t IS a case
wherein it would be well to look before taking the leap.
The west is a great country, as the Saturday News knows
Colorado isa great country. 1t has thousands OF congenlai, mtehl-
gent, wholesouled, cultured people, It's soil ranges all the way
from worthless to exceptionally fertile. For the things for which It
lis adapted it will produce in abundance. -,
But, unless we are greatly mistaken, the Creator never intended
81 TO be the center OF a great fruit industry. The gobetweens and
che transportation companies consume all the profits, leaving the
growers holding the bag.

TAX COMMISSION IN ERROR.

Having recently printed certain figures furnished by the tax
rp1nmission. wherein it was shown that South Dakota pays less STATE
taxes than any other state upon each one thousand dollars q asses asses
sed valuation, and 1T having developed that the tax commission was
III error, this paper feels that ia justice to its readers t should make
theS necessary correction.
South Dakota IS state tax per each one thousand valuation was
aisen as $I.20 jas against $11gso in Wisconsin, and about slboo "
some other states, and ranging from that amount down.
The state auditor of Wisconsin, in q letter, states that the total
tax per each one thousand dollars of assessed valuation ~ Wisconsin
for all purposes-state, county, school and munlclpal-aysrag s.
S1183 for 1912 and $l3S7 In 1919. In 1912 the purely state tax
was ninety cents per one thousand Of valuation and one dollar and
fwenty-fonr cents IN 1918
The state tax commissions error was undoubtedly due TO the

SUFFRAGE CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.

Some criticism has been INDUCED in with reference to the mis-
$40 of Miss Minnie Bronson said to have come to South Dakota
I'd Try to pursnade the men to refuse to grant the women the rlght
of suffrage, and it is intimated that Miss Bronson expenses nave
been paid by certain people opposed to equal suffrage.
When Miss Shaw spoke in WatertoWn she frankly admitted that
q certain good friend, deeply interested in the suffrage campaign
along national lines, was paying her expenses, but said that she was
contributing her own time.
III il a legitimate transaction. We have no criticism to pass
npon Miss Shaw, nor upon the one who is defrayng her expenses.
JIG is our American right.
We think the same may be said with regard to Miss Bronson.
Assuming that somebody is meeting her expenses, and possibly pay
ing for her time in addition thereto, she is doing only what our sys-
fem of conducting campaigns has been toleratlng and encouraging.
Party campaign managers in days gone by have done the same
sort Of thing. They have even furnished campaign orators WIN
casns have given them fat salaries in the bargain. .
50 long as such methods are openly resorted to, why should
Miss Bronson, although opposing equal suffrage, be the subject OF
undue criticisnla 5.
But the Saturday News inclnes to the belief that the system Is
frequently carried to the extreme. The man with the biggest wac
