MANY STARS BUT FEW ACRES.
Mitchell's scction has 47 per cent of In
stitutions and J4 of 1 per cent of Lands.
The stars on the accompanying map mark
locations of State institutions. Seven of the
fifteen are situated in Mitchell's Section E, which
has only 1,513 acres of the 096,491 acres of lands
for endowment of State institutions.
That is to say: While the Mitchell section
already has FORTY-SEVEN PER CENT of the
institutions, it has very much less than ONE
QUARTER OF ONE PER CENT of the lands
donated by the general government for their
endowment.
To give Mitchell the State capital, in addition
to the seven other institutions in its section,
would remove the only star on this map between
Aberdeen, Redfield, and Plankinton on the east,
and Rapid City on the west—an area comprising
NEARLY TWO-THIRDS of the entire State.
460 TIMES MORE OUTSIDE THAN INSIDE.
The State owns a total of 2,580,485 acres of
land of all sorts and kinds, donated to it by the
United States for endowment of its public institu
tions and benefit of its common schools—696,491
for its institutions and 1,883,994 for its schools.
Of these public lands of all kinds, nearly ten
times as many acres lie outside of Mitchell's
Republican Campaign Meeting.
The republican campaign in Hughes
couuty will be opened by a meeting at
the riuk in Pierre on Thursday evening
October, 6, at which meeting Congress
men Burke and Martin will be present
and address the people.
It is desired that the people of this
city and the county turn out and listen
to the able discussions of the political
issues of the present campaign which
will be presented at this meeting. Re:
publicans and others from ad joining
counties are welcome to attend.

section as lie inside of it while of the land espe
cially intended for endowment of public institu
tions, FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY TIMES
as much lies outside of that section as lies inside.
To remove the capital awav from the geographi
cal centcr, on the argument that it can not become
the center of population because IwoHliirds of
the state is unfit, for agriculture, as Mitchell
knockers claim, would result in loss of value on
460 times as much of the State's endowment
lands as could be benefited by such removal.
LOSS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
The total land holdings of the State outside of
Mitchell's section are 2,342,378 acres, practically
all of which would be damaged in price if the
State should remove its capital as an indorsement
of Mitchell's knocker campaign—because, of
course, the'demand for all South Dakota lands
would be seriously reduced by such an indorse
ment by the voters, and it is demand that makes
price.
The average price at which the State's lands
have sold during the past fifteen years is $14.60
per acre.
For every dollar that this average price of
$14.60 per acre might be reduced, THE STATE
WOULD LOSE 82,342,200 from its funds, and
the public institutions and schools would be
deprived of their share of the interest, or the tax
payers would have to make it up by direct levies.

Thus it will be seen that the real cost of capital
removal would be much more than merely the
cartage and freight on the records, furniture, etc.,
—that it certainly would be millions of dollars in
the loss of proceeds from sale of the State's lands!
And to tnis is to be added also the loss due to
keeping hundreds of thousands of acres off the
assessment rolls of the State, by reason of their
being allowed to remain undeveloped and unim
proved.
COMPARISON OF PIERRE AND
MITCHELL SECTIONS.
Section (Pierre's) includes ten counties, and
Section E (Mitchell's) twenty-one.
While Section has only 6} per cent of the
State institutions, it has 57 per cent of the lands
for endowment of the same but Section E, with
seven times as many institutions, has less than
of 1 per cent of the lands for their endowment.
Of the lands with which to erect a capitol
building, Pierre's section has 44* per cent, while
Mitchell's section has NOT A SINGLE ACRE—
and yet it is asked that the capital shall be
removed to Mitchell.
The voters are urged to carefully consider the
facts and figures presented herewith, and to net
in the State interest as they would act in their
own personal inte"\st if the same sort of problems
were presented
