SAY THAW LIBER!iTORS

New York City--Gossip in the Ten
derloin on Thaw's escape does not
pay half as much attention to Thaw s
legal entanglements as it does to
rumor of the activities of the four
men who helped him, who have not
been caught The talk of the under
world took startling new angle yes
terday.
1t was that Dick Butler and
"Yuksey" Duffy, two OF the four who
escaped paid a visit to the city last
Tuesday and deposited large sum of
money in an East Side bank. The
amount is said to be $4,000. the
sum which Thaw is alleged to have
paid for getting him out of Mattea-
wan.
Thomas Flood, another of the par
ty came into town at the same time,
says the gossip, and entered his home
at the southeast corner of Forty
first street and Tenth avenue. He
packed a valise met Butler and Duffy
outside. and the three of them drop
ped into a number of saloons on
Ninth and Tenth avenues, said how

were going away until the Thaw mat

Butler and Duffy are said to be
heavily in demand around primary
and election days. as they have large
followings of men who don't care
how they vote, and this fact makes
them anxious to be back at home

Col WeXler, of New Orleans spoke

Senator Reed, democrat, declared
that he is welded to no particular

The chief evils of the present bank

RED AUTO TAGS FOR .T:T.

Pierre, S. D.-The indications at
the bidding on auto tags for the next
year are that some of the same tao
tices were present as have shown
themselves in the bidding for print
ing, and that there will be no great
profit to the successful bidder for
next year. The range of bids was from
IL rs cents per pair, up to 33 cents
per pair. and the low bidder, Brown
& Saenger of Sioux Falls will supply
The tags for next year. The new tags
will be the same size and shape of
those for this year, but will be bright
red with white figures instead of the
dark colored background of the pre-
sent tags. The contractors are to sup
ply the tags by the first Of December,
and there should be no reason for
delay in securing tags after the first
of the coming year. N.

RICHARDS DECLARES
FOR SINGLE TAX IN
SOUTH DAKOTA
Makes This Main Plank
In Platform For
Candidacy.
ALSO INCOME TAX
The Two Systems Should be
Used in Place of Present
Methods, He Says.
ALSO INCOME TAX

Wagner, S. D.-Mr II. O. Richards
of Huron delivered the Labor Day
address here Monday to large and
apDreciative audience. He elucidatel
clearly the evolution of labor, mental
and manual, free and enslaved, un-
der one form of government or am
other, coming up through the ages.
He spoke with inspiring confidence
OF the future for labor; but he said,
Beware of false prophets. There is
no progress in anything but sound
doctrines put forth in practical
way Ethics, education and labor will
point the way, step by step, as the
what is to be done.
Mr.. Richards is candidate for
governor in the coming republican
primaries in this state, and while he
did not refer to his candidacy in his
speech. it was plain that he sound
ed the keynote issues of the coming
campaign in referring to the first ne
cessity of a clean legal party organ
iZation to free the government from
the selfish influences of the spoils
system.
The next step In the evolution of
state government. he said, is equit-
able taxation upon which he express
ed himself as favoring tax on real
estate and incomes for this state, and
exempting all kinds of improvements
and personal property from direct
taxation. This, he claimed, would en-
cn 90 Mt ral G
ducts of labor from direct taxation.
He also said that the exemption of
improvements would make the nom
resident land owner, holding unim-
proved land, pay more just share Of
the taxes, while profiting by others
improvements in the increase in value
of his land.
The tax on incomes, he said, in
directly covers interest, profits and
rents and can be made absolutely just
to our present commercial and finan-
cial civilization and will not drive
liquid capital out of South Dakota as
would be the case eventually if the
present state administration and its
tax commission carries out the plan
under which they are now operating.
Mr.. Richards still maintains the
same attitude he took last winter
during the legislative session, when
he went to Pierre to oppose the tax
commission enactment that it is first
necessary to amend the present tax
provisions of the constitution be-
fore the state can enact d just relative
taxation law on real estate and in
comes.
Mr.. Richards speech was favorably
commented upon by those who heard
him.

SOUTH DAKOTA IN
JOBBERS' RATE CASE

Pierre, S. D.-The South Dakota
state railway commission has been
asked by the Minneapolis Civic and
Commercial League in their applica-
ton to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for an adjudication of
jobbers rates to South Dakota points,
the Minneapolis people claiming that
the rates are such as to give Chicago
jobbers an advantage over Minneapo-
lis. The probabilities are that the
South Dakota department will take
part in the proceedings to see that
this state does not get the worst of it
in any adjustment of rates which may
be made, and which might be an in
crease instead of decrease.
Complaint has been made to the
commission in regard the passenger
service on the line between Sioux City
and Yankton but as this is an inter-
state matter there will be no action

the liberty pact by which husband

ways, live their separate lives and
leave each other strictly alone
! Mrs. Russum has declared that her
husband violated the liberty pact
when he caused her to be shadowed
for nearly six months by detectives

SENATOR OWEN SAYS NATIONAL

Washington, ID. C.-In an official
statement Senator Owen. chairman
of the committee on banking and cur

ional City Bank of New York is con
Quoting a propaganda in an attempt
to discredit the administration and
make it appear that in framing cur
rency legislation the banking inter
ests of the country have not been con-
suited.
Reciting at length the information
in the hands of the committees of the
two houses of Congress and the num-
erous interviews and conferences that
have been held with representative
bankers and financiers, Senator Owen
says the business men of the country
need have no fear that Congress Will

Senator Owens statement is in
the shape of letter to James Simp-

Charges Misrepresentation.
| Senator Owen branded as utterly
untrue" the suggestion that the fran
ers of the bill "have denied a free eX
change of opinion and recites fact:
to substantiate his claims. In conse
| quence Senator Owen says:
THE propaganda now being car
| ried on led by the National City Banl
of New York, which has circulariZet
the country against the bill, is obvi
ousiy intended to discredit the ad
ministration and to make it appea
that the bankers have not been con
suited. and that the committee is no
well informed This misrepresenta
ton has had the effect of poisonin
the public mind and misleading pub
lie opinion.
Such misrepresentation viii thu

public interest. 1t is an open secre
that these great concerns like MOI

whom they pay very large salarie
and who are able to create fictitiou
and false public opinion unduly fay

! great financial companies.
. Il deem it my duty to advise yo
that you are being misled by an a

half of private interests, which doc
