SUCCESS


On September 3Oth, 1916 the Citizens
State Bank of Oacoma, S. D., closed its doors
by order of the State Banking Department due
to irregular methods ~practiced by an officer of
the bank. The Public Examiner then directed
all Depositors to file proof of their claim against
the bank, and Immediately upon the proc eing
verified, the claim was paid in full from the
State Depositors Guarantee Fund.
ALL STATE BANKS in the state of South
Dakota are required to set aside a certain
amount subject to levy by the Public Examiner
for the purpose of SECURING the Depositors of
STATE BANKS. The HAND COUNTY STATE
BANK Is a member of this guarantee plan and
contributed a small amount toward the pay
ment of the depositors of the defunct Citizens
State Bank of OacOma, S. d.
The D~EPOSITORS of the HAND COUNTY
STATE BANK are protected in the same manner
as those of the Oacoma bank.

PUTTING IT ON THE WORKER

be compelled to pay. 1t would be per
fec,ly possible for the government
Of the United States to pay for this
war by imposing a land tax that
would take all of the economic rent
of land; by taxing all incomes in ex-
cess Of two thousand dollars, during
the continuance of the war, by laying
a heavy inheritance tax; and by tax
ing all Of war profits away from
the war manufacturers. Such a
system of taXation-called the con-
scription of wealth-would probably
raise considerably more than ten bill
lions of dollars a year-enough to
pay for the war, out of the property
rights of the well-to-do.
Such a thing is possible. Will it
happen Well, say-will it happen 4?

If the owners 10 not pay for the
war the workers will If the work
ers vii not pay, the owners must.
There is no other possibility.
Owners and workers receive all of
the income that is paid out in the
United States Owners and workers
possess all Of the $50 billions of
wealth that exists in the country.
The line of economic division in the
community is between owners and
workers. Whatever bills one does
not foot, fall to the share of the
other to pay.
The workers in Russia, who are
evidently disinclined to pay at all
in so far as the war debt is concern
ed, are for pushing the owners off
from the ma2.-but that is in Rus
STA. There is no such radical move
ment in the United States.
The owners are very few in num-
Der. Probably not more than one
person in five in the industrial dis
tricts owns industrial property. The
Industrial Relations Commission re-
ported that two per cent Of the peo-
pie of the United States owned so
per cent Of the wealth Of the coun-
try, and that the most important
kind - resources, franchises, banks
and machinery.
While the owners are few, the
workers are many. In most large
industrial centers they make up more
than four-fifths of all of the people,
If the owners pay the war bill, it
will be a rich mans war and poor
mans fight. If the owners pass on
the paying to the workers, the work
ers will do both the paying and the
fighting.
A little study of history throws
onto the foreground some important
facts about previous wars. Hereto
fore, the workers have paid, in high
prices, low wages, poverty, hardships
and suffering. Indeed there is hard
ly a war in modern times that has
not been a blessing to some group of
business men. The Napoleonic Wars
proved a source Of immense business
advantage to the British The foun-
dation of many an English fortune
was laid during this bitter struggle.
While the people of Britain endured
the grinding hardships of That great
struggle, many business men pros
pered.
The Civil War found Washington
SO infested with business brigands
that Lincoln was at his wits end.
Finally in desperation he is reported
to have said to a group Of New
Workers who were insisting upon a
gunboat for the protection of New
York HarbOr-"If | were as rich as
you gentleman are said to be, and as
frightened as you appear to be,
would build a gunboat myself and
give it to the government" The
gunboat was not built On the other
hand, the business men from all parts
Of the nation were fattening upon
war contracts.
During the Civil War many of the
soldiers were paid in paper money, so
deprecated that it took $2.65 in pa
per to buy $1.00 worth of gold. Mean
while the interest on the bonds was
paid in bullion.
The Civil War like the Napoleonic
Wars proved to be of the most i'm 4
mense business advantage. Blood was1
poured out freely. The common peo-
pie sacrificed to the limit of their |
endurance, while the business inter
ests were reaping a rich financial re

The editor of the Review started that

as he had landed in the city, and learned
that there wasn't no such ANIMAL here.
He really thought he was striking
something new = couldn't be possible
any town as large, beautiful, enter
prising and ambitious as New Ulm had
ever deliberately turned down a pro-
position for such an institution. But
he soon learned his mistake.

A Freak School Board


a Freak School Board
If a, story that comes from Austin
is true that town has a school board
that should be awarded first prize as a
bunch Of freaks.
According to the information received
it appears that it has for many years,
been the custom of the .Elks' lodge there
to arrange a mammoth Christmas tree
and entertainment for the benefit Of
the poor children Of the city. Besides
that every child in the town is invited
to attend and is presented with a
Christmas package. In connection
with the affair a canvass has annually
been made Of the city for poor and needy
families, the children of which have been
presented with bundles of new clothing,
many of them being given complete
new outfits Of apparel. &. S1s5+
This year the affair was set for Friday
afternoon preceding Christmas. Be
cause it would take the children away
from school that afternoon at. least that
was the only excuse given the school
board and city superintendent stepped
in and announced that any pupil absent
from school that afternoon would be
severely punished. 5. sz
Because Of other engagements that
had already been made and could not
be changed, the Christmas tree for this
year had to be abandoned. It is quite
evident that the members Of the board
cared little for the disapp continent that
| its action caused to the children of that
city. !, s .,s 5 #5s5
The members Of the Austin school
board ought not to be allowed T.. wait
for another election to be defeated, but
should be kicked out Of Office and the
superintendent with them. They
should be Stunned by every decent
citizen Of Austin, and if they are business
men their places ought to be boycotted.

MEN WHO DO THINGS

Des Moines also has a mayor who
is a live wire and rises to situation.
Mayor MacVicar decided that coal
mine owners were in combine to
boost prices, whereupon he seized several
loaded wagons and had coal delivered
to the poor who could not buy fuel to
combat a subzero temperature. A short
time ago the activities Of the mayor of
Tacoma in what he conceived to.be the
public interest were the subject of at
tention in these columns
s. There is a great difference between
approving these dynamic qualities in
the head of a city government and
approving specifically the activity in
which they find expression. What
the mayor Of Des Moines is doing and
what the mayor Of Tacoma has done
may not be defensible Id themselves.
General approval will not follow the
course of the latter in establishing
municipal bakeries to- break up an alleged
combine or the former in an arbitrary
seizure of property in pursuance of his
confidence in coal conspiracy Prob
ably existing laws would reach both cases.
But there is no doubt Of that GER
tain approval which goes out after the
disposition to do things. to have positive
convictions and to follow their. lead.
People admire and respect men who
show themselves not content to sit down
in the chair Of authority and response
biity and let affairs take their own course.
So there has been large measure OF ap-
plause for the mayors Of these cities
and part of it came from those who
could not approve the proceeding
themselves. -Erch a1lge.
