A historical review notes South Dakota facing bonded debt after statehood, recounting 1895 defalcation, party shifts, and the Crawford administration. It contrasts 1903 prudence with 1907 lavish spending, detailing double deficiency levies and tax increases to cover deficits.
A critique notes 1907 appropriations in South Dakota rose above 1905 levels across several offices, including state institutions and legislative expenses, linking increases to political deals with institution counties and to Senator Gamble. The piece opposes proposed constitutional amendments to remove tax levy limits.
Dr. T. M. Stewart of Beresford, former populist in the 1891 South Dakota senate, rebukes Sioux Falls press attacks on Senator A. B. Kittredge. He testifies to Kittredge's integrity, reliability, and dedication to enacting laws reflecting the will of the people, urging his election.
An eye witness recalls Judge Aikens's biting sarcasm in a Bis mark scene with Crawford during the reform era. The tale centers on a sharp exchange after the gross earnings law vote and a moral image of the defeated reformer as they clash over state finances and debt figures.
Samuel G Blythe lauds Senator Kittredge as a tireless, silent force on the interoceanic canals committee. He is described as inscrutable, concise, and always at work from dawn to after sessions, preferring yes or no over extended argument.
A barber recalls the best strop he ever used a glass piece given by an old barber. He describes its perfect grinding kink and laments losing it and the difficulty of finding a replacement. He believes that strop gave a sharp edge to his razor.
