Grant County Taxes
Year 1913 to 1914. An Increase
Of S5O.944.75 Since 1906.

| senator crawford ) ana MI.
Byrne followers should nev-
er again complain of high tax
es if they 90 to the primaries on
the 24th and vote for the present
state machine, which for the
past seven years has been stead
lily increasing the taxation bur
dens OF the people Of the state.
Last week we gave some records
from the auditors books showing
the increases that had taken
place on Milbank property, but
the farm properties of the county
have not escaped, as will be seen
from the following figures:
In 1912 the farm lands of
Grant county paid taxes for
all purposes 500, ,4s3.3s In 1913
they will be compelled to pay
S.l0,22 .9S, an increase over 1912
|of $50, IA 80, or an average IN
crease on each quarter sectisn
in the county of Sol. Let us
60 back little further in history
and see what Grant County
farms paid in taxes in 1906, the
last year Of Governor Elrod's ad-
ministration. They paid $50, ,9s4.
23, deducting this from the Sl1O,
227 .9S that they paid in 1913, you
have increase in these six years
Of $50, 244.7o, or an average in
crease on each quarter section
Of land IN Grant County of$19. IL.
That we may not confuse this
with the regular state tax that
the farm lands in Grant County
paid, attention is called to just
exactly what the state taxes
were. In 1912 the farm lands ia
Grant County paid an average of
S6.O2 per quarter section. In
1913 they will pay an average of
x6.36 per quarter section. In
1906, the last year Of Governor
Elrod 5 administration, the farm
land in Grant County paid an
average Of $2.65 per quarter sec
ton. The increase per quarter
section between 1906 and 1913 is
1913 Ii all the farm lands in
South Dakota have been increas-
ed SD per quarter section,
what an enormous amount of
money has been used to run our
state during our reform admin
istration in comparison to what
was needed during the Herreid
and Elrod administrations, aud
what has become Of it? Is our
condition any better, is our state
business attended to any better
than it was then.
If you would take this enor-
nous increase in appropriation
and tax that has been paid into
the state since our reform admin.
istration took hold of our state
government, deduct the amount
it cost to run the state during
Herreid and Elrod s administra-
ton you will have a balance
large enough 10 erect nearly
every public building that the
state owns outside of the state
capitol building This is not
hot air; the figures quoted were
all taken from the certificate that
the County Auditor has furnish.
ed the State Auditor each year,
and every statement is absolute
ly correct. The creation of
petty Offices, useless commits
sions and extravaganza expendi-
lures indicate where some of
this money has gone. Ii the re-
publican party of this state does
not purge itself at the primaries
the time is speedily coming when
the people will take from it the
responsibility which it has here
tofore entrusted it with.

No this does not include the
travelling expenses Of the attor
ney general who is allowed by
the legislature five cents per
mile for each mile Travelled and
by using mileage he only has to
use two cents per mile, and as he
does a great dealof travelling you
can sur mise how large this bill
would be. It is no wonder the tax
es have increased 251 per cent
(see page l5, 1914 State Auditors
Record) from 1909 to 1912 since
Crawford, Vessey and Byrne
were governors.
This certainly is an uncalled
for waste Of the taxpayers money
throughout the state. Mr.. voter
and taxpayer, how would you like
to have this man, Royal G. John
son, with such a record. repre-
sent this district in Congress.
