Taxation OF indian Procerty.

Pierre.--The question OF taraticn OF
Indian personal property. has been one
Of contention in the reservation"
counties OF the state ever since the
organization OF such counties, and sew
ersl rulings have been made upon that
issue, generally tha, personal property.
except such as is held az government
trust property is subject to taxation.
But a recent opinion signed by b
Sweeney, assistant secretary OF inte-
rior," holds to The contrary. The
summary Of his long opinion being:
The Cheyenne River Sioux Indians
have IEibal organization, and are
therefore subject to the exclusive iur-
isdiction OF the United States. There
fore not only is the time issue prop
erty or the increase thereof not sub
ject to taxation, but all personal prop
erty belonging to Indians, they being
wards OF the government and sustain
ing tribal relations, is not subject 10
taxation. The enabling act OF Febru-
aTy p. 1883, and the constitution
adopted BY the state Of South Dakota,
provide that all lands within the state
owned or held by Indian tribes, shall
remain under the absolute jurisdic-
ton and control OF congress of the
United States. And the act of May S,
1906, under which the larger number
Of Indians on the Cheyenne river res
ervation were allotted, provides that
until the issuance OF fee simple pat
ents all aIlottees to whom trust pat
engs shall hereafter be issued shall be
subject TO the exclusive jurisdiction
O: the United States"
Under this ruling. which places al.
personal property OF an allotment hold
e- outside local taxation until fee SIM
pie is granted. by authority on Indian
affairs, TO mean that an allotment
holder, even though he makes no at
tempt TO live upon the reservation,
and is transacting business of any
character, is exempt from taxation
upon his property until the end OF his
allotment term of 25 years, when he
is 10 receive fee simple TO his land
and become citizen and subject TO
the same duties as any other citizen.
Under the Burke act OF 1906, the sec
retary OF the interior is authorized
10 end the allotment term at any time
where il is desired. and it can be
shown that the allotment holder is
competent to conduct his own affairs;
and OF the other hand the allotment
term can be extended by proclamation
al the end of the IS years if so desired.
This ruling practically gives allot-
ment holders. some with so small
strain OF Indian blood that it would
have to be proven 10 show it, an ex-
exemption which other business men
in competition with them would be
compelled 10 meet.

Aberdeen.-After another week Of

big headway and from all quarters OF
the state come the most optimistic re-
ports. Returns from the northeastern
part of the state indicate that black
rust has materially affected the late

going as low as eight bushels to the
acre, although the general average in

Corn is making active strides towards

Alfalfa Seed Scarce.
Sturgis.-Reports from nearly all
sections OF western South Dakota
show that there will be practically no
alfalfa seed this year. The late rains
spoiled whatever prospects there were
for seed, but the ranchers are getting
three and four cuttings Of alfalfa. SO
do not miss the seed as much as they
would in a less prosperous year. The
absence OF the seed. except in a few
scattered places, means an advance
in its price, and those who were for

There Is no better way to teach a girl
habits OF housewIfely order than by
giving her a room for her very own
as the children say. Pride Of posses
sion is strong In 'us all. We all have
our castles In SPAIN" and there is no
dearer dream than the one In which we
surround ourselves with the colors. the
pictures. the dainty trifles that form the
back ground Of our being. Men and
women alike dream OF the home to be
theirs when the busy days OF strife and
struggle are over and they can sit down
In that place which only comes to those
who have striven and enjoy the fruits
Of their years Of endeavor.
The dream, however. Is no sudden
growth In our later years. 1t begins
In US very early In life. I heard a very
little girl. a tot OF 3. telling her mother
this summer that she wants a room for
her own-a room to be all pink. the baby
said. with roses on the walls and white
curtains tied back with pink ribbons.
That baby had thought that all out for
herself: she had been prompted by no
suggestion from her mother. and she
was very earnest in expressing her de-
sire for this place all her own.
Unusual, you say? Perhaps not I
think these precious little ones often
have thoughts and wishes far beyond
the reach OF the sagacity we credit them
with. but We do not meet them with the
understanding and sympathy that in

who recognizes the wonderful possibili-

Fire Marshal Tells How
Women Can Prevent Fire
Forty Per Cent Of Fires Homes Are Preventabe, Says
Fire Marshal Nicholson Some Don'ts for
+ -...:... - Christmas Time

You've stolen the march on the other
| fellows" Fire Marshal p. w. Nicholson
told me yesterday when I called at ais
! ONCE In the District Building and asked
| him to talk to me about the ways Of
preventing fires due to Christmas tree
illumination. THE other reporters al
, ways come around about the week be-
! fore Christmas. but 1 guess I can give
you what you want now"
And then when / explained to the IRE
marshal that since folk were already
buying their Christmas tree decorations
II was high time for women at least to
be thinking about the danger OF Christ
mas fires. the fire marshal told me that
in his opinion forty per cent OF the fires
in homes at all times OF the year could
be prevented II women exercised more
care.
Compared with forty-seven fires start
ed from cigarette stubs IN one year 2o3
were caused by boys playing with fire,
thirty-three by boys playing with
matches and thirty-four younger chill
dren playing with fire, and eighty-five
were caused by SCOT In chimneys. When
children are careless with fire or matches
II is in a large measure the fault of the
mothers who do not teach them the
danger In such amusement. But chill
drel are not the only ones who get in
to trouble with matches. for In the same
list there are 145 fires listed as due to
the careless use OF matches by adults.
I'VE see so many cases Of the care
lessness in the home that leads to fire.
People light the gas near a window
where a thin curtain is hanging. The
window is open and when the people
leave the room the wind blows the cur
tain against the flame and the harm
is done. Many fires result from careless
ness in letting rubbish andN-debris &C.
cumulate in cellars and courts. Then
many women don't know that II is dan
Gerous to put ashes from stoves and
furnaces in wooden boxes. Even In the
cities many women make the fatal mis-
take of starting fires with kerosene.
Sometimes they bring damp wood into
the house and put II into the oven to
dry and go away and forget 1t till II
has got too hot. This doesn't result In
an actual fire but the house Is smoked
up and the fire department is sometimes
called out before the careless housewife
remembers what Is the cause of the
trouble. Then many fires are caused by
