REPORT OF
TAX COMMISSION
Six Recommendations to
be in Report Of Tax
Commission.

Pierre The report of the
state tax commission will contain
six recommendations for consti.
tutional amendments before an
adequate tax law can be enacted
in this state, three of these
amendments changing existing
conditions and three of them
wiping out present restrictions.
The first recommendation is in
regard to Section II, Article vi,
striking from that section the
uniformity" provision, leaving
it to read: mo tax or duty shall
be imposed without the consent
of the people or their represen-
tatives in the legislature.'
The second recommendation
is for the elimination of Section
1S, Article vi, which attemps to
prevent classification of property
and requires all to be taxed on
the same basis.
The next is in relation to Sec
tion 2, Article XII, which specifi-
cally declares that all taxes
shall be uniform on all classes of
property. The proposed change
is: Taxes shall be levied and
collected for public purposes
only and shall be uniform upon
all property of the same class
subject to taxation within the
territorial limits of the authority
levying the same, and all taxes
shall lie levied and collected by
a general law. The legislature
shall have power to divide pro
perty into classes and determine
what class or classes of proper
ty shall be subject to taxation.
Taxes may also be imposed on
J incomes, priv eges and occupa-
tions, which taxes may be either
proportional or graduated and
progressive, and reasonable eX
emptions may be provided;
franchises and licenses to do
business in the state, gross earn
ings and net incomes may be
considered in taxing persons,
firms, joint stock companies. as
sociations, co partner ships, or
corporations.
TAXATION OF MONEY AND CREDIT
Striking out all of Section 4
of Article XI this attempts to
provide for taxation of monies
and credits.
Amending Section 6, Article
Xl, to read: The legislature
shall by general law exempt
from taxation property used ex'
clusively for agricultural and

THE TEACHERS .JON.
Hays Normal Defeated Kansas Wes-
leyan 10 tc Wednesday.

Hays, Kan, Nov. 19.-'Sensation-
ally exciting was the way the Wes-
leyan-Normal football game was de-
scribed. A clever fake drop kick and
forward pass from Careman to Bolt
Melted the teachers the last touch
down. When that happened fifty
auto horns blended with the voices
of five hundred spectators. It was
then all over and everybody hurried
to the city. The day, save and except
for the high wind with plenty OF dust
at intervals, was ideal.
The teachers won the toss and in
five minutes thereafter Fritz Lore
ditsch made q touchdown. but failed
to kick the goal. Then followed SEN
sational long runs by the preachers
and a pass of the ball in a circuitous
manner from Cannon to Stevens and
it resulted in a score OF for the gem
tlemen OF the cloth. Kasort OF the
Preachers made the goal by a well
directed kick. And so ended the first
half 6 to z. Penalties had been i'm
posed frequently.
In the second half the Teachers had
the KICKOFF. Then followed a long run
and a pass Of the ball from Careman
to Bolt that netted a gain OF Is yards.
Clarence Loreditsch kicked goal.
Final score 16 to favor Of the peda-
gogues. Observation-Disclosures: E. ".

The ONLY CURE
Foot and Mouth Disease De-
mands Radical Methods.
Experts Say Killing Infected
Animals Is Only Remedy.


Kansas City. Mo-, Nov 19.-The foot
and mouth disease epizootic among
American live stock has already cost
the federal and state governments more
than $2,O0O.O00. And this sum does not
begin to cover the entire loss suffered
as combined result OF the destruc-
ton OF property, Interference with COM
merce In stock and fodder, and disturb
ance OF the feeders plans for the win
ter.
Such are the conclusions of DIR. Ward
G1ltner and DIR. N. T. Mailman, OF
Michigan Agricultural college. These
experts. after several weeks of serious
study, have issued the following state
ment:
1T Is generally understood that the
root and mouth disease among stock IL
not usually q fatal disease and
restoration to apparent normal health
is the rule. Why then this apparent
wanton destruction of so many valuable
meat and milk producing animals, espe-
cially at this time Of high prices Of food
products and with great foreign de-
mands now being made on this coun-
try? The reason Is sufficient but not
obvious to many who have not had the
opportunity to study the nature Of the
disease.

animals. and increasing with unfavor-
able conditions that lead to complica-
tons due to secondary infections. Chief
among these troubles are prolonged
soreness OF the mouth and feet. inter-
fering with eating and locomotion. ex-
tension Of the disease to the stomach
and even sloughing of the hoofs. There
Is always q loss in affected cattle
amounting to SIS to $40 in dairy ami
mails and 80 to SIS in beef animals.
These losses are due in dairy cattle to a
suppression OF the milk flow, a COM
plete recovery from which may not oc-
while In beef cattle there is q loss in
weight and failure to make gains. The
contagiousness Of this disease is so
great that in the absence OF drastic
measures to control it, it would spread
In few years throughout the whole
country.
1T is frequently asked. why is it
necessary to destroy diseased and ex-
posed animals At q complete loss?
The answer Is based on the fact that
every outbreak Of this disease in this
country has depended upon the impor-
tatton Of virus from a foreign country.
1t has already been demonstrated five
times that the disease can be eradi-.
Gated in this country at an expenditure
mean the total destruction Of the living
virus. or the germ of the disease. This
total destruction demands the imme-
date slaughter OF every affected and
exposed animal, since every affected
animal may carry the virus months
after apparent recovery, and practical
ly every animal exposed to the virus
will develop the disease. Recovered
animals are not permanently immune
but may suffer a recurrence OF the dis
ease in two or more months after re-
covery. SAVING an infected herd un-
der conditions that would, guarantee
against the spread Of the disease Is
practically and economically an tmpos-
si5ility."

Der of the mob, fell with a bullet
through his head from the rifles of
the guards on the train. Shortly after
the attack began another unidentified
youth was shot through the leg and
several of the strikers sustained
minor wounds. Many of the guards
and strikebreakers on the train were
MANNED by flying rocks.
A huge pile of brick and ties on the
tracks stopped the work train near
the company's yards and as soon as
it came to standstill the men closed
in. Many of them had pistols and
bullets flew thick and fast into the
cars while the strikebreakers, terror
stricken, crouched on the floors to
escape the hail of lead.
Within a minute the guards got

TRENTON. n. D., Nov 4.--The elec-

the same tendency i'm the voting that
manifested itself in other sections OF
the country and as a result big gains
were made by the Republicans in the
home State Of the President. The next
congressional delegation, according TO
returns received thus far will stand
eight Republicans to four Democrats.
This will be a gain of six seats for the
former, the last delegation having been
made up of ten Democrats and two Re
