To The Voters
OF Perkins County

wish to take this opportunity
to explain to my friends and
to h e voters Of Perkins
county generally why | withdrew
from the race for Sheriff Of Per
kins county, after having rec
elVed the nomination at the
hands Of the democratic party.
In the beginning | figured that
IN the race between myself and
Ellefson | would win, because of
the encouragement | have rec
.elVed from republican voters.
Because so many people who
knew the facts were disgusted
with the way the sheriff and
deputies Of Perkins county have
been carrying on the affairs Of
that office. Many others who
knew how | had been made the
victim Of this gang, simply be
cause | had dared to become a
candidate for sheriff in opposi-
ton to their plans, volunteered
to support me. However, so
many candidates have sprung
up for this Office and second
frame-up on me; | mean by this,

simply means that salable bonds
drawing a moderate rate OF IN
terest will be floated TO care for
all outstanding warrants instead
of allowing the warrants to con-
tinue drawing 7 per cent interest
for years to come and at the
same time suffer a large discount
besides.
We believe this would mean a
big saving to the county and to
the people who are dealing with
the county. Unquestionably the
county could buy many Of the
used in the court house,
at a better price. if the pay was
cash.
We trust the tax payers will
consider this matter and The
Herald will be glad to print the
views Of any one on the subject,
provided the article is signed.

Democratic Candidate
For Representative
John T. Lundquist Addresses a
Communication to the
Voters
Moreau, South Dakota

Moreau, South Dakota
Dear Sir
| hereby announce myself as a
candidate for the office Of state
representative from the Seth
Representative District Of South
Dakota, comprising Perkins
county, having been regularly
named by the majority proposal
committee in January, and regu-
larly nominated at the following
primary on March oath. Owing
to the size of Perkins county, |
The Lemmon herald. (Lemmon, Perkins County, S.D.) 1912-1917, 1914-10-09

greater than tor the first two
years. Taxes climbed nearly
three times as fast under the
progressives as under the stall
warts.
The total state tax of Vessey's S
second term was more than three
times the size of the tax of the
first term of Herreid.
With no claim that appropria-
tons are materially lower, or
miscellaneous receipts are mater
tally greater in 1918 than in 1912
the progressive tax commission
levied a tax S221 ,65S.4O smaller
in 1913 than was levied in 1912.
You can draw your own conclu-
sions.
The stalwarts made deficiency
levies three years out of the six,
while the progressives made
deficiency levy every year of the
six. The total Of the deficiency
levies by the stalwarts was ST.
04S, ,S97.11, while the total by the
progressives was S3,269,710.62.
A deficiency" levy is a levy
made necessary when the gen.
eral levy Of two mills and the
miscellaneous receipts do not
produce sufficient revenue to
cover expenses.
TREMENDOUS INCREASE
With the tremendous increase
in the assessed valuation of prop
erty in the state made by the
tax commission in 1913, it is not
necessary with present expendi-
lures to levy the constitutional |
limit of 2 mills general levy. The |
effect of the increase is to prac-
tlcally remove the constitutional
limit to taxation for state pur-
poses. With no greater rate
than was levied each of the four
years of Governor Nessey's two
terms, a mills, the present valu-
alton would produce S4,781 $780,
81 in a single year. or 36 per
cent more than the total state
tax in the six years of stalWart
administration.
And that is not the only limit
that has been removed, ANY
city, Incorporated town or any
civil or school township, or any
school district can
levy approximately three to
three and one-half times as much
tax as heretofore. The lid has
Oeen taken OH.
Besides all this the safeguards
against over issues of bonds by
public corporations have been
practically wiped out. Some Of
he cities of the state have been
bonded to such an extent that
'aising the interest charges and
fund are burdensome.
But the revolutionary increase in
valuations allows them to issue
approximately three times the
Of bonds heretofore pos
,ible.
