crease, and the tax on real estate will
be proportionately less. Richards
favors permanent, standardized, re-
lative and eQualized assessment OF
real estate; in place of Governors
Byrnes ductuating selling value asses
sment: heralded as 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 its income and the in

Richards is right. Governor Byrne Is
mistaken in attempting to follow the

Governorship from the Spoils System
by voting for the independent candi-
date for Governor so that he may go
into the Governors chair free from
the influence of the party politicians

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
-srnor is in favor Of taxing real estate
and incomes only, with seperate
levy for each. He calls this the 'dual
System" of taxation. Richards is
against direct taxation of anv kind of
buildings 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
