NOT To BE TAXED
JUDGE JAMES ID. ELLIOTT FILES
OPINION IN CASE AGAINST
DEWEY OFFICIALS.

Sioux Falls, Feb. 19.-In an opin-
ion filed here this morning, Judge
James ID. Elliott, of the United States
district court for South Dakota holds
that trust property of Indians Is not
subject to taxation by the counties or
states in which it Is located.
His decision is another victory for
the United States district attorneys
office, and followed the action in the
case Of the United States against
John Pearson, as treasurer, and Cal
vim NJ. Smith as sheriff Of Dewey
county. on an injunction and order to
show cause in a petition for a tenn
porary restraining order TO restrain
the collection of taxes against trust
property of the Indians on the Chey-
enne reservation. The court deter
mines that all of the property assess
ed against the Indians named in the
bill of complaint was issue property
or increase of issue property belong
ing to one of the classifications en-
dorsed in the opinion and as such an
instrumentality used by the govern
ment of the United States for the ben
eft of these Indian wards and not
taxable for county or state wards.
Judge Elliott's decision, it is be
lieYed, Will have far reaching effect
throughout the counties in which In
dian reservations are located and will
become of Importance as a precedent
in other western states.

DEMOCRATIC UNREST
STATE CHAIRMAN FLAYS COZ
FEN-JOHNSON-GANDY
COMBINE.

Aberdeen, Feb. 19.-Dr. II. J..
Rock, chairman of the democratic
state central committee. today issued
an open letter to democrats of South
Dakota denouncing the "Coffey-John-
son-Gandy combine" which issued a
call for a democratic mass meeting at
Mitchell. February "a. for the pur-
pose of selecting Wilson delegates
and alternates TO the national CON
yention to be placed on the primary
ballot, and calling a mass meeting by
the state committee for Mitchell on
February %.
In the Coffey-Johnson-Gandy call
1T was stated that there was no state
central committee because Of the de
cision of the supreme court abolish
ing the Richards primary law and an
opinion of the attorney general there
on. In DIR. Rocks call for a mass
meeting n day ahead of the COM
bine's call he sets forth that the COM
mittee was awaiting action of the
special session of the Legislature, and
with power invested in the regular
organization by that special session,
it urges all the party faithfuls to
gather to overthrow the democracy
embodied in the triumviate issuing
its call from Washington, which Rock
uesignates as King Coffey and his
court"
The Rock letter is bitter in the ex-
IRENE, charging Interior motives on
the part of Coffey. Johnson and Gan
dy and declaring that even a hint of
theirs to appoint Wilson delegates is
"as pepper in the eyes of all true
democrats Of South Dakota"
There is evidence of a strong dis
ruption in the ranks of South Dakota
democrats and the call just issued is
proving very disquieting among those
democrats who figured on carrying
the state at the coming election.

LEAVING THE FARM
PRETTY CITY SCHOOL TEACHERS
ENTICE THE FARM BOYS.

Sioux City, Feb. In Iowa SO
per cent of the farmers are renters;
in South Dakota 50 per cent of the
farmers in a number Of counties are
renters. and i'm that portion Of the
state best known for its agricultural
wealth from 40 to so per cent of the
farmers are renters. These facts
were stated by President Il. C. Pc
risho, of State college, before the
Tri-State Farmers and Breeders as
ISOLATION, i'm his discussion of the
withdrawal of land owners from the
land.
President Perisho stated that al
though farm values had increased
W 100 per cent in the last decade,
and farm products were selling at ~
per cent increase in price, yet the
population Of the country districts
were rapidly decreasing, while the
cities were having a corresponding
increase. In order TO keep the young
people on the farm, we must have
better rural schools, consolidated
schools, community centers, and
modern farm and home conveniences.
Mr.. Perisho told the members that
he had discovered the reason why
the boy and girl in the country grayi-
tated to the city. His answer to the
age old problem is m
Pretty city maidens who go TO the
country as teachers are responsible
for much of the social unrest among
the farmer sons and daughters and
the desertion of the farms, according
TO the educator. He deplored the
fact that during the last decade Iowa,
the typical agricultural state Of the
country, lost in its rural population.
The Social Side of Farm Life" was
the subject of the address.
