WHERE IT HURTS

We do not know how much money is
sent out of this town to buy things that
could be bought here at home. We
know there is some.
The important thing is whether the
amount that Is being SEN away is less
or more, is decreasing or increasing.
II the percentage of such money is
decreasing, very well. If it is increas-
ing the town Is in a bad way.
If it was 2 per cent year before last
and 2h per cent last year. and is like
ly to be 3 per cent this year, it is easy
to see which way this town Is going.
If that kind of trading is increasing,
the value OF property in this town is
decreasing. Business property Is worth
less. The homes of this town are
| worth less.
The bleeding of patients has been
discontinued-in some localities the
bleeding of towns goes IN.
There are people who are saving
cents in price and losing dollars in
the value of their property and their
quality, and incidentally decreasing
labor.
Some people realize that mail order
buying hurts the local merchant, bur
they say there is no reaso why they
should worry about him. Certainly not,
What they ought to worry about is
themselves.

4 DEFENSE OF THE AUTOMOBILE
LICENSE LAW

In the editorial column of the
Bookings Register for May list, ap,
peared a brief article stating that the
local auto owners claim that the new
license law is unJ'st, because the
large and small cars are taxed alike.
In defense Of this law will state that
this is not a tax but a license, created
purely in the interest of good road
construction.
Every auto owner is interested in
getting better roads, because good
roads will reduce the operating eX-
penses OF the car. 1t will lengthen
its life. 1t will increase the pleasure
Of auto riding. Hence the auto owners
have been liberal contributors towards
funds for road Improvement in the
past.
This law was promoted to supplant
the old system, by converting this
local subscription into a permanent
state fund, whereby road construction
can all be done under a system of
state supervision, that will be far
reaching in its effect. And it will not
cost the auto owners any more than il
the old system Of local subscription
were kept up. While the actual re.
suit will Re far beyond any com.
p~arison. Hence the auto owners
should be the last persons in South
Dakota to object to the automobile
license law.
At first glance 1t may look as If the
larger cars should pay the larger
license; but the fact remains that the
smaller cars are used on the roads {
great deal more than the larger cars
The small runabout, used by physi
clans and other business men, will
probably cove: ten times the distance
per year, to that of the larger pleasur.
car. The accurate way would prob
ably be to tax each car in proportion
to the distance covered, but that is a
impossiblity. Hence the only reason
able way is to have just n price 70
all. And after the law has been il
force long enough, so we can. begin t
see the results, we should all be har
pier because Of it's enactment an,
operation. H. c. Solberg.

WILL BE HELD UNDER THE
NEW REDISTRICTING LAW
They Will Be Entirely Reg
ular and Proper, Says
Hon. Fred M. Hudson,
Who is in Pensacola on
Business.

Next years congressional elections

ing act and in my Judgment they will

Hon. Fred NJ. Hudson to q Journal
representative yesterday. Mr. Hudson

day.
THE act" continued Mr.. Hudson,
creates four congressional districts
which are to come into existence on
March 4, 1915. We already had an
election law which provides how and
when representa- tives in congress shall
be elected and this law Is plain in
specifying that ehe5 con gressmen shall
be elected from the respective districts
established by statute. This law was
not changed in any way and as the
new districts have now been provided
for, the elections should be held from
those districts.
'SThe law can, however be tested in
advance If it is desired to do so" said
Mr.. Hudson. Under our new primary
law candidate may, any time up to
within 33 days of the primary election,
pay his fee and file his advertising
matter with the secretary of state and
ask that it be circulated for the district
in which he is a candidate. The sec
retary will either recognize his cam
didacy from that district or refuse TO
do so and the candidate can then
through mandamus proceedings get the
matter before the court and secure a
judicial decision on IT,
Y do no TO nv Ia

Mr.. Hudson. q think Your fellow
townsTnan, Mr.. Robert H. Anderson,

terview published recently in The Jour

same view and I have no doubt that

Albany, n. Y, Oct 20.--A few min

In Golf Circles.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Octc. 20.-The visit of
Edward Ray. Harry Vardon, and other
English golfers to this country has
prompted talk in golfing circles OF hav
ing annually a series of International
golf matches similar to those of the
Davis coup tennis series. Nothing Of
fetal has been announced in regard 70
the movement, but is reported that ole
of the leading Golf CLOUDS in this coun-
try is referring the idea u the British
golf authorities and that an offer of a
cup has already been made by the
American club.
British golfers, both men and wo ;
men, have at times during she past ten
years played more or less frequently
in American tournaments and Ameri-
cans have made still more frequent
appearances in England. bat the con-
tests have lacked the well defined ar
rangement which would be brought
about by competition along the lines
