Watertown Public Opinion
claims a decrease of state taxes
in Clark county. under the full
assessment plan, of fourteen pei
cent. 1t states that the levy
for county purposes shows four
teen per cent increase, while the
levy for school and civil pur.
poses SHOWS an increase OF
thirtytwO per cent The oppOsi-
ton to the tax commission comes
from the fact that the assess
ment has been raised from one
third to full valuation, that the
lid has been taken off for the
local officials, who do not find it
necessary to play politics, but
only to meet conditions and
needs in their own communities.
The position taken by the op-
ponents to the commission, until
such times as our taxation laws
are thoroughly revised, is well
founded.

The Interior Index sees moth

the county seat from Fort Pierre,
we have IA large property for

bout one-third it actual cost !:

Will pardon us if we take the

we understand it.
The temporary county seat is

some 125 miles from Interior.
The territory east of line
drawn north from the Lyman
county corner to the cheyenne
river is spar'sely settled. some
five hundred voters, with their
families, residing in that terri
tory. West of that line there are
fifteen hundred voters. Neces-
sarily the mileage expenses paid
by the county. because Of the
present location Of the seat Of
government is highly excessive.
One logical solution of the mat
ter is to locate the permanent
county seat at point more ac-
ceSsihle to the majority of the
voters. 1t will lessen the mileage
expenses for county officers. for
court purposes and for election
expenses by a figure that can
not now be computed. but which
will amount to several thousand
dollars yearly.
Stanley county has put $4,000
into the present court house. be-
sides the amount expended for

to a new building. with only
small cost. The abandonment of
the present building win cost the
county but few thousand dol
lars. which will be repaid within
less than five wears in the saving
on mileage alcne.
As we have sad b fore. Fort
Pierre admits that the present
court house provides inadequate
quarters for the county business.
If Fort Pierre is made the perma.
nent county seat THIS year. the
county will be called upon within
five years to abandon the pre-
sent structure. and erect new
building. This is not a guess-it
is fact we'll known to everyone
cOnversant with conditions.
Really, the tax bogie is not
big enough to scare anyone who
will give the matter serious con-

quarter section of land. He can
save that amount plus $3.50 in
the railroad fare from Midland

that amount plus $500 in the
saving on mileage between Philip
and Fort Pierre.
