: TRUTH ABOUT,
COMMISSION
THE

There has been a lot of loose
talking and thinking about the
new state tax commission. This
is always the csc where the
subject of taxes u involved. No
function Of the government is
more difficult, it seems, for the
average man to understand than
those functions relating to tax
alton.
Neither the critics or the Cup
porters Of the commission have
told the whole truth. The COM
mission has been praised for low
ering taxes, and it has been con-
demned a. expensive and polit-
ical n it, activities. The COM
mission hasn't lowered taxeA

tax receipt to discover that. 1t

is true that the creation of three
new offices, with attendant sec
retaries, clerks and stenograph-
es, has placed an additional bur.
den upon the tax payers of the
state. Governor Byme admits
that in his recent letter sent out
to the voters of the state. His
defense is that the additional
burden to the individual taxpay-
er OF the state is slight. The gov
ernor should not forget that a
number OF smahl burdens make a
great load.
Ii is also olain that the com
IN ~slon has played the political
game from the start. It's activ-
lty at the present time, in the
face of a primary campaign, in
sending ont to the voters of the
state literature in which they

and rndeavoring to absOlve the
present administration from
blame for it's mistakes,is evidence
enough of it's political sigmific-
ance. We do not find amy other
bureau or division of the state
government busy at the present
time circularizing the voters of
the state.
But the chief trouble with the
commission lies i'm another direct.

sessment Of property at it's full
cash value; and the fact that it
has fixed the average value of
Stanley county land at x1O54

that it has gone the limit in that
direction of full cash value.

not necessarily raised state tax

UP TO THE NEXT LEQISLA.
UR3.

The fact that the supreme cour,
has held the county seat pri-
mary law unconstitutional puts
that matter up to the next legis-
lature pretty clearly. The people
of South Dakota had passed the
law in question, when it was re-
ferred to them, by a direct vote
of 49,373 for the law to 27.179
votes against it-at the Novem-
her election, 1912. Everybody
admits that the law was good
one, and the overwhelming vote
in its favor shows that the peo-
pie of South Dakota recognize
its justice, and want it. But the
supreme court says we are up
against the state constitution
That leaves it for the next legis-
lature to take action, either by
passing law that will meet Il
constitutional requirements or b,
submitting to the people con
stitutional amendment changing
the constitution so that such a
law will be approved by the sup.
RENE court. The matter is OF
pressing Importance, not only in
Stanley county, but in Gregory
Charles Mix, and several Other
counties of the state. The quest
ion is bound to he an import
ant one at the next session OF
the legislature. This simply EN-
l'basizes again the great care
that the people Of this count,
should exercise this year il
choosing the men who are to re.
present them in the next session
Of the legislature. Look the lis
o. candidates over carefully, ant

be against your interests.

work lies in the fact that it has
raised the possible limit of tax.

cattle assessed at 81 900, and the
total levies allowed by statute
from all sources aggregate forty
mllls, there are two ways i'm which
the limit OF taxes to be paid BY
the taxpayer can be raised
either the limit of levy can be
increased say three-fold, i'm which
the party could be made to pay
1920 instead of $40 under the
former levy; or the levy can be
left the same Cat forty mills)
and the assessed valuation Of the
property increased SAY three fold
in which event the taxpayer
can be made to pay 1920 instead
Of $40.
That is exactly what has hap
prned. The commission has i'm
creased the former assessed val
uation of all property in the state
something more than three fold.
Don misunderstand us. We
don t mean that the taxes have
been increased three fold. The
possibility of setting the screws
still Tighter ON the taxpayers
has been increased three-fOld.
Protection of the statutory linn
itations has been taken away.

old situation For our local, coun-
ty and state taxing officials kept
the load kicking the beam all
the time. Now they can 60 high

This is a plain statement Of
the case against the tax com
mission. Not one word Of it can
be successfully contradicted.

though things were going to be
in better shape this year than
for many twelve months past.
Ever since the government re-
cords were begun at this place,
over twenty years ago, the good
and bad spells as far as rain was
concerned, came i'm spurts. The
normal rainfall in this section is
sixteen and sixty-three hun

inches of this record; 1898 lack

1913 failed by five and eighteen

years, many of them above the
normal as in 1908, when about
two inches and a half above
normal were recorded.
