Representative Garner.--I know
that we have wonderfully big,
cumbersome Government. 1t is very
difficult to administer it as the faith
ers ntended-that is, to have each
branch of the Government keen
within the bounds of its power.
As a result of that, you see almost
hundreds of reports being made to
Congress by commissions and various
branches and departments of the
Government, because Congress gave
them power that it was not contem-
plated would be given and that would
for the combersomeness of the Gov
eminent; so that we have required
them to make reports to Congress in
order that Congress may keep a check
on them.--Congressional Record.

A NEAR FIRE

Last Friday night about niue clock
the old Bundy home, one of the most
pretentious residences in Wood came
near going up in smoke. This resi-
denee is now occupied by Mrs. F. T.
Sinkler, and they noticed light in
the northwest room on the first floor,
and thinking some one had left the
electric light turned on, went to inves-
tigate, and were surprised, when, on
entering the room, they found their
clothing on fire. Miss Edith Sinkler
lost several dresses before the flames
were extinguished, and other members
Of the family also lost some clothing.
How the fire started is a complete

Revenues

The total revenue receipts for 1872
were $1l ,05S, S,909, or $l700 per capita
For the fiscsal year the per capita
excess of governmental costs over rev
enue receipts was, therefore, $l0.Si
The excess of payments for malnten-
ance and interest, exclusive OF outlays
over revenue receipts was due mainly
to the payment Of $4,700,0OO soldiess
bonus claims.
In South Dakota property and spec
ial taxes represented 1876 per cent OF
the total revenue for 1922, 1863 per cent
for 1918, and SIS per cent for 1915.
The increase in the amount OF prop
erty and special taxes collected was
58.4 per cent from 1915 to 1918, and
93.9 per cent from 1913 to 1922. The
per capita property and special taxes
were 1914 in 1922, $500 in 1918, and
$l.99 in 1915.
Earnings of general departments, or
compensation for services rendered by
state officials, represented l2.9 pc
cent Of the total revenue Tor 1922, 21.%
per cent for 1913, and 700 Per cent
for 1915.
Business and nonbusiness licenses
constituted 81 per cent of the total
revenue for 1922, SO per cent tor 1919
and SIS for 1915. Receipts from bus
mess licenses consist chiefly OF taxes

IN The OLD DAYS

In these days when we howl about
the high price of bacon, and porter
house." begins Milt Amrine OF the
Council Grove (Kans.) Guard, remin-
iscently, lit is interesting to read
about meat supplies in 1857 IN Clark 5
Creek .neighborhood. In yesterdays S
Guard an obituary told OF Il we'll
known Clark s Greek family who had
no meat their first year or two IN
Kansas except what they went out and
killed as wild game. There were two
reasons in those days why families
didn t have meat. One was, they had
no money to buy it. The other, there
was none to buy within many miles.
The best families of the state killed
wild game when they could with an
old fashioned muzzle- loading gun.
Perhaps they moulded their own bull
lets. They lived in log cabins and
dugouts. They drove to Kansas City
fer their flour, sugar and some cloth
ing. They made their own furniture
with saw and hammer. Yet there are
thousand times more complaint
about general living conditions today
than would have been heard in those
days. We're nation of kickers and
there really ism much to kick about
at that, when YOU compare our food,
clothes and houses with those of on
daddies and still less Of our grand
daddies.

GOODBYE, 1923

Before another issue of the Pioneer
we will have entered upon the year
1924, with hopes that the new year
will bring to this section new era Of
prosperity, that it will mark year
of a great influx of new settlers into
Mellette county, OF the real dirt farm
er variety, who will till the fertile
soil and reap the rich s.aryests; that
the year will see some real railroad
construction underway in this great
west of the river country, and espec.
tally in Mellette county; that the price
Of farm products of all kinds will con-
tinue their upward trend and thus
give the farmer a fair return for his
labor; that the crops will continue to
yield bountiful harvests; that we as
neighbors may dwell together in peace
and health, and that all may prosper
to the fullest degree.
We bid goodbye to the year 1923,
which in soae respects was q dark
,ear for many. 1t saw the first bank
allure in Wood and in Mellette eoun-
y, and il will be some time before our
Jcople will fully recover from the ef-
ects Of this failure. 1t gave US our
irst epidemic Of hog cholera, which
as caused some Of our farmer friends
o sustain heavy losses. 1t also will
Ie known as the year when numerous
attic died from anthrax, and was an
)ther heavy loss to many OF our farm
ers and stock men. 1t saw the clos
ng of one of the three genetal stores
n Wood. These are the dark spots
the record OF the year 1928 just
losing, and we believe it is one of the
larkest we have experienced.
On the other hand, 1923 gave Mel
cite county the largest corn crop she
ever raised. There are more hogs in
he county during the year than on
my previous year in her history, there
ire more acres of alfalfa than there
yer were before, the dairy and poul-
.ry industry made good growth dur
NC the year, and while money has
oeen very tight, yet we believe we can
ee a gradual change for the better
nd we believe that 1924 will see
lew prosperity da~p;ng for those who
we in Mellette county. 1923 saw the
beginning of the first hydro-electric
power project ever attempted in the
county, by the city of White River,
on the Little White river, and if the
new project comes up to the expecta-
tons Of its promoters, and We see no
reason why it should not, it will have
tendency to put new momentum into
the property wave which we feel sure
is about due, and it may also be tho
means of bringing new people ana
new industries into our county, and
with an influx of new people and new
industries we are bound to get that
much-coveted railroad we have all
been watcbfully waiting for for the
past ten or twelve years. So We say
goodbye to 1923, and bid welcome to
the new year of 1924.

Gus Offices TO be voted for at tn,
March primaries. The republican pro
posalmen met at the Masonic hall, anC
there was a good attendance. The hal
was we'll filled and every available
seat was Occupied. They transacted
their business with neatness and dis.
patch, and while there were some con.
tests it did not take more than two OF
| three ballots to make a nomination
for any Of the Offices. The repubhc,

The only real contest in the conven-
ton was for the Office Of sheriff, and
Tor commissioner of the second dist,
rict. The convention also adopted a
resolution approving the republican
tate platform adopted at Pierre the
Iore part OF the month.
The democrats held their convention
II the Odd Fellows hall. Their main
contention was regarding the repre-
Sentation Of the precincts. that had
Jailed to elect proposalmen this year,
and on whether the majority or min
rity state platform should be ad2 pied,
but finally the majority ,,iatform re-
ceived the endorsement OF the county
convention. The attendance at the
democratic convention was perhaps
5ne-half or two-thirds of that Of the

ton proposed the following county
ticket:
