INCOME TAX is
NOW POSSIBLE

first since the reconstruction. com

of the union which have approved the
provision.
Congress will now enact the law to
levy the tax and it probably will be-
come effective during the extraordin-
ary session to be called bysPresident-
elect Wilson in March. The tax itself,
Its provisions and its limitations, are
all left to congress.
The new law probably would super

for tax on all incomes abcve $1,000.
Although there has been some senti-
ment in favor of making the limit as
low as $4,000, congressional leaders
who have been preparing for the final
ratification by the states estimate an
income tax would bring in about
500. 900. 900 annually to the govern
mert.
Now that the tax is provided by the
constitution, the proposed excise tax

Aberdeen, Feb. 4--if the plans of
the farmers institute corps of the
South Dakota state college at Brook
ings are carried out by the state legis-
lature, the better farming movement
in South Dakota will receive trem-
endous impetus during the next two
years. Through the regents of educa-
ton they are asking the legislature
for an appropriation of $40. 600 for col
lege extension work, by means of
which they hope to carry much of the
work of the agricultural college dir
ectly to the farms of South Dakota.
Under the plan, il it is approved by
the legislature, a director Of the work

tended. In every county of the state

RAPID CITY ASKS
FOR NEW ELECTION

Rapid City, s. D., Jan. 31.--Special:
| Petitions have been filed with Auditor
Howell Matthias asking that a special
election he called to elect successors
to the entire board of city commits
sioners, including Mayor Fred H.
Rugg, presidential elector on the
bull moose ticket, who was elected to
office three months ago TO fill the va
cancy made by the resignation of DIR.
r. j, Jackson, who has since gone to
Panama.
| The petition is signed by 1856 voters
and It's preamble alleges that all of
the commissioners have been guilty
of negligence of their duties and have
expended large sums of money in
reckless manner, and that the city is
deriving no benefit from the money
paid out. That in all details the af-
fairs of the city have been conducted
in an unhusinesslike way.
The fling of the petition is the cli-
max of long period of murmuring
which had its inception in the delay
on the part of Thomas Hale, commits
sioner of streets and alleys, to pro-
vide sidewalk for residents I'm North
Rapid, suburb of the city and taxed
with it.
Then came the extension of the
water sy stem under the supervision
of Commissioner James Brennan and,
City Engineer Hartgering. Bonds to
the amount of 100000 were issued to
pay for this needed Improvement.
The money was expended in lsvipg
four or five miles of conduit and then
it was discovered that there was no
water where it was proposed to build
reservoir.
The straw that broke the camel's
back, however, came in the grading
and draining of the streets. This was
done by means of special assess
ment and already more than $40 600
has be en assessed against property
owners. 1t is now discovered that

rors in his computations and Attorney
w. w. Soule has been retained to in
vestigate the matter and fight any
suit brought by contractors, who may
attempt to collect for work reformed.
which it is alleged is not done accord
ing to specifications.
Another cause which led TO the lib
eral signing of the petitions was the
Kidding of the city of disreputable
houses recently. The resorts had
earlier In the year, 1912, been segre-
gated on "Coney Island" mile east
of the city and had been running un-
der tolerence on pawn ent of $500 per
month into the city treasurer. This
amount paid the expense of the police
department and part of the running
of fire departments. To the inmates
of the resorts, merchants, liyerymen
and jewelers. we're in the habit of
making large sales. This was cut off
at Christmas and keenly felt by the

SINGLE TERM BILL
PASSED BY SENATE

Washington, d. c. Another at
tempt to change the proposed six
year single-term amendment 10 the
constitu tion so as either to lengthen
President Wilson'S term to six years
or to make him eligible to reelection
is expected in the House when the
resolution passed Saturday by the
Senate IL taken up for consideration.
passage of the resolution, but insist
it should not cut President Wilson off
with a single term of four years.
Theodore Roosevelt is barred from
ever again holding the Office of Pres
ident, and Woodrow Wilson from sery-
ing second term in the proposed
amendment to the constitution, which
passed the Senate Saturday afternoon
by two-thirds majority.
The resolution also extends the
presidential term to six years. To
become effective and thereby realize
the hope expressed by the Senate in
it's action. the resolution must now
pass the House, also by two-thirds
majority, and be ratified by three
fourths of all the states.
Chairman Rucker of the House
committee, to which the proposition
will be referred in the House, said
that it will be given immediate at
tention by his committee, will be re-
ported TO the House without delay
and will pass that body before the
close of the session.
If Mr.. Rucker knows what he is
talking about it would seem that so
far as Congress can accomplish the
purpose, it will have placed itself on
record as seeking to prevent the pos
sible election of Roosevelt for another
term at any time in the future and to
establish the same effective barrier
against continued services to the pub
lie by Woodrow Wilson.
The action OF the Senate surprised
the Senate itself. Until the vote was
taken there vas not believed to pe a
ehadnw of chance that the resolu-
tion could pass.
A very substantial basis for this
opinion was that the Senate in the
three days the resolution had been
under discussion voted down so great
a number and variety of amendments
that there seemed to be less seemed to
be less than majority in favor of
any one proposition that could be
offered.
These votes had absolutely rejected
the principles of the resolution itself.
But when. after the Senate had made
these demonstrations of hostility to
every suggestion of limited term,
and mad most emphatically rejected
every proposal to except Theodore
Roosevelt or Woodrow Wilson, it was
finally confronted with the original
resolution barring both men from fu-
ture service to the country after Mr..
Wilson'S coming term shall have ex-
pired. The personal feelings of indi-
yiduals oyercame whatever judgment
they had expressed in their proceed
ing votes and enough of those who
passed the measure voted for Il be-
cause they wanted the resolution to
express their personal hatred Of The
odore Roosevelt. CT thrir fear that
Woodrow Wilson is also Progressive.

This end is to be attained, according
to Mr. Frederick, by the teaching Of
local patriotism in the schools. Local
patriotism is not q study, it was ex.

that after q time 1t must be thrown

Before he died at twenty-nine worn
out by excessive work, Paul Potter,
the Raphael of ANIMAL Painters :
was already famous, and, what is even
more extraordinary, he was prosper

enjoyed, either distinction. Also Pot
ter was unique in that he developed
very early. At fifteen his paintings
were ranked with those of artists OF
distinction. -. f. 81. 81 Z.
His first lessons were received from
his father, landscape and figure
painter of mediocre talents. When
Paul was six years old his father
moved from Enkhuizen, where the
boy was born in 1925, to Amsterdam,
and afterward to The Hague. Paul
was placed under a good master; but
his work in the studio had small at
traction for him. He was chiefly his
own teacher, and the greater part of
his time was devoted to making stud
les from nature. Almost from the
first he was interested in animals;
but he became master of landscape
because of it's necessity as back
ground.
One of his neighbors in The Hague
was Claes Balchenmeyndem, who
called himself an architect, and was
convinced that he really was a very
important person. Potter fell in love
with his daughter Adriana, and form
ally asked the prideful father for her
