wish to direct your attention
again to what j consider a very se-
rious defect in our present law gov
erning the sale Of real estate for
taxes. Under chapter 81 Of the code
Of 1906, the sheriff is directed to Sell
at the front door Of the court house
all delinquent property certified 10
him BY the auditor on Or before the
first day Of November, Of each year,
afts rdue publication according to
Law.
The great bulk or this property II
purchased by individuals for a mere
trltie- Many poor persons are de
prived oftheir homes for few dol
lars of taxes.
The sheriff should not be permit
ted to sell any delinquent property
to individuals. The law should be
50 amended as to provide that all
property not redeemed from the sher=
ifff with specified time should be
purchased for the state, and returned
to this Office to be proceeded against
by the auditor by a suit in chancery.
This would do away with much
fraud practiced at tax sales, because
the collection Of delinquent taxes
would then be by suit in chancery.
and each property ownel, would
either be served with personal pro
cess or process by an order Of pub
1ication. and would be given fair
opportunity to redeem his property
at a small cost"

Richards Means Well"

Mr.. Norbeck said he was of the
opinion that Mr.. Richards means
we'll, but that the latter S policies are
notorious for not running true to
form. The speaker related that some
years ago, Mr.. Richards went to the
legislature with a petition, signed by
the required 5000 electors, demand
ing that the state place books in the
office of every county register Of
deeds, in which the citizens of the
respective counties could file their
wants. 1t was Mr.. Richards idea
that when persons wanted TO buy or
sell anything or to hire help or get
employment, they could record their
desires in the county registers books
and thereby rid the state of its eco
nomic rheumatism" Mr.. Norbeck
related that as the petition demand
a special election, the legislature
came to the conclusion that it would
be cheaper TO buy the books than il
would TO pay for the necessary bal
lots and other printed matter. The
books were purchased and sent TO
the county registers. The candidate
told that since that time less than
one-half of the books, each set of
which cost some 500, had ever had
a record made in them. In n book
a mar had written that he wanted a
job ''shoveling snow in July"

ROBB HEARING TODAY
THOUGHT TRIAL WILL OCCUPY
REST OF DAN-NRS. ROBB
FIRST WITNESS.

The taking Of testimony was start
ed late this afternoon in the court Of
Justice of the Peace f.. l.. Soper in
the action brought against DR.. Harry
j. Robb. of Flandreau, by his wife,
Mrs. Adalene Robb, to have him
placed under bonds to keep the
peace. Judge ID. d. Holdridge is
acting for the state, and T. F. Owens,
of Sioux Falls, for the defense.
Mrs. Robb, the first witness called,
told that her husband had entered
the home of her brother, DR.. H. +.
Kellogg, West Eighth street, where
she was sick i'm bed last Friday night.
and had choked her and threatened
to take her life. She told that She
feared if DR.. Robb were not put un-
der restraint he would do her bodily
harm.
Attorney Owens entered an objec-
ton that the case was not within the
jurisdiction of the court, for the rea-
son that without the defendants con
sent, the case had been continued
more than two days after his ar
raignment, contrary to law. He fur
Their objected, on the ground that a
wife could not testify against her
husband without the consent Of the
husband. The objections were over
ruled. Justice Soper said that while
the defendant had not formally con
scented to a continuance of more than
two days, attorneys for the state and
the defense had mutually agreed that
the case be set over until today.
Indications were that the taking of
the testimony would not be com
pleted before 6 o'clock.

of Lake county members of the com
pany were present, as were also John
Hasche, of DeSmet. and Ed Hillestad
and NJ. A. Stumley, of Volga, and r.
ID. Stove, of Miner county.
Mr.. Stumley, who was appointed
treasurer of the company at the or
ganization meeting a couple of
months ago. resigned that he might
devote his entire time to other bust
ness affairs. He was succeeded by
c. j. Johnson, of Lake county.
The next meeting will be at the
call of the secretary.

Primary Law.

With regard to the so called Rich
ards primary law, Mr.. Norbeck said
that Mr.. Richards had c~anvassed the
people, in favor of the law for two
years, and that as no one in partic-
ular was working against the meas
ure. ii passed.
But after it had been passed, no
one could understand it, and 1t was
an expensive law" said Mr.. Norbeck.
Voters wrote to the governor, but
he could not explain 1t and referred
them to Mr.. Richards, who admitted
that he could not make all the points
clear. Although | was in favor of
giving the law the customary two
years trial, the republican party.
which elected us, voted by a majority
of $1,000 for us to repeal the meas
ure, and the Legislature did So"
Mr.. Norbeck said that among the
measures he would favor, il elected.
would be a better rural credit sys-
tenn, to permit Of farmers borrowing
money on long terms, the interest
and part of the principal returnable
each year. He also favored a cor
poration income tax. He believed
that improved farm land should not
be taxed as heavily as land held by
spectators, and not farmed.
Mr.. Norbeck said there is no doubt
in his mind but hat the state consti-
tuition should be rejuvenated. He
told that the constitution was formed
twenty-nine years ago, and the hand
of the dead is restricting the acts of
the living. He declared that a
change was greatly needed in the law
which restricts the state from engag-
ing in internal improvements. I'm
der the act, the state is restricted
from making such improvements as
the building of highways.

The following program was given:
Vocal Solo-Mrs. Thos. Smith.
Reading-Mrs. r. s. Westaby.
Talk on Community Economy
Prof. Buechel.
MIR. Bueehel began his talk by Civ
ing a short history of one Of the
worlds greatest movements, the in
dustrial revolution. which began in
the year 1870. and entertained the
club by giving an interesting account
of the magic growth and develop
ment of machine labor during the
last hundred years. Mr.. Buechel
closed his talk by advising and urg
ing the cooperation of the Civic club
with the Business Mems club in
forming and perfecting better plans
for making Madison attractive TO the
scores of shoppers who are i'm the
habit of going out of town to spend
their money. This was mentioned as
a deplorable source Of community
waste.
Two very important subjects
brought before the club for the flu
ture welfare of Madison were the
possibilities of assisting the officers
in enforcing the auto speed limit and
in supplying a better fire protection.
The industrial committee gave a
fine report of the interest of Madi-
son girls and boys in the contests
that have been arranged for them.
A committee was appointed for
the inspection of the school gardens
during the summer months.

and twelve meals, although he was
gone a single day. Mr.. Egan did not
tell you that the extra berth was for
Mr.. Byrne's secretary, who went TO
assist him at Rapid City, nor that
while the two railway tickets to Rap
id City were bought one day and the
returning tickets the next. the gov
ernor and his secretary were really
absent two days. The going tickets
were purchased early one morning
and the return passage was bought
just before midnight on the follow
ing day. which accounts for the
twelve meals"
Il wish TO say that if either of my
opponents are elected, | shall never
stoop to such tactics to besmirch
their records"
Taxes Lower Here.
Mr.. Norbeck said Mr.. Egan had
declared that taxes are higher here
than in North Dakota, Nebraska OF
Minnesota. The speaker said he re.
ferred the matter to Henry b. An.
derson, former state auditor, who
found that the per capita tax in
North Dakota is $3.50; i'm Nebraska
$3.15; in Minnesota, $4.12, and in
South Dakota, $2.66. Mr.. Norbecl
said the claim is made that taxes are
increasing. He said that is true, and
gave as reasons that commodities are
not only higher now than formerly
but that the average citizen today il
not cotent with institutions which
would have been considered good
enough" years ago. He said that
the state appropriations here for two
years had totaled $1,000, 900, while
in North Dakota they had amounted
to $3,200,000 for a single year. He
declared that it is not his hope to
reduce the appropriations for any OF
the public institutions.
Referring to the so called pie eat
ers," the speaker told that Mr.. Egan
had said several state offices should
be abolished. including that of state
game warden. He also told that Mr.
Egan had said $4,000 was wasted
annually in that department.
THE office of state game warden
does not cost the taxpayers one
cent" said Mr.. Norbeck. THE en-.
