INCUBATING DEGENERAcY
LMedford Mail. I.TribnneN

There is much food for thought in
the letter IRON Charles Edward Rus
sell published in this issue concerning
conditions in England. As a result of
consideration Of and legislation for the
fortunate, an inferior race has been
bred, dwarfed intellectually and
stunted physically
The industrial development Of Eng.
land, the prosperity Of her classes, has
been at the expense Of the masses. As
Mr., Russell says
"Society has produced a new kind of
human creatures, inferior mentally, in.
ferior physically, without physical
stamina, and without the spirit Of re.
volt, dull, sheep.like, submissive, un.
imaginative, weak and retrogessive.

TAKE STEPS FOR DIVISION
OF IOWA LUTHERAN SYNOD

Aberdeen. S. D.. Sept. S.-The Iowa
synod of the German Evangelical
Lutheran church concluded it's DELHI
erations here Sunday after a four
days session, in which considerable
business of Importance to the church
was transacted, the most important,
perhaps, being the decision to divide
the synod, comprising several states
of the northwest into two separate
synods.
After considerable discussion of the
question, it was decided thai the
church had grown so that two sepa-
rate synods were necessary, and ac-
ton was taken to organize a new
synod.
The synod elected officers for the
ensuing year rs follows: President.
Rev. w. Baettke; vice president, Rev.
A. Helm; secretary, Rev. w. Schroe-
der; treasurer, Rev. w. link. Sunday
the synod celebrated the annual mis-
sion festival by an open air meeting
in Melgaard park.
mother feature of the convention
was the presentation by the Rev. Mr..
Proehl of the matter of raising $780,
600 for church purposes, which the
Iowa synod had pledged itself to raise
by 1917. when the 400th jubilee of the
reformation by Martin Luther will be
celebrated.

ROADS EXEMPTED FROM
LEVY RESTRICTION LAW

Pierre. S. D., Sept. S.-The attorney
general rules that the levy made in
counties for taxes under the good
roads law is not such a county levy
as would be included in the law re-
lating to restrictions on levies, chapter
292 Of 1915. The road tax levy law Of
1911, in section IS, provides for a road
tax levy for unorganized townships.
Consequently where all townships are
organized there would be no levy made
by the county commissioners under
that clause. Attorney General Cald-
well therefore concludes; IF it should
be held hat the levy under this sec
ton good roads law) is included
within h total limit of levy provided
by the 1915 act, it must be conceded
that the ruling could only apply to
part of h counties of the state and
the limit of county levy would be nj
form in all of the counties. The effect
of this situation would be to impose
a hardship upon a part of the coun-
ties by requiring them to keep their
entire levy, including the road levy,
within the limit of the 1915 act, while
the counties having no unorganized
townships and having no road levy.
section Is, would seem to have
a greater advantage in his respect.
! am, therefore, inclined to the opinion
that the levy under section IS of the
good roads law is not Q included"

They have been unable to substaniate

the crime grew out OF foreclosure pro-

Kayser OF certain property. They be-
lieve that the murderers entered the

ing for papers. and tied up, or tried

FARMERS MAY HOLD GRAIN
TO FIGHT CUT I'M PRICES

Aberdeen, S. D, Sept. 4.-Reports are
coming in from farmers all over the
state that, owing to the big drop in
the price Of grain during the past
month, and also owing to the big spread
between local ard prices and the prices
paid for grain at wholesale points
farmers have decided to hold their
grain themselves until better prices
prevail, instead of selling their wheat
at the present low prices. In order to
do this, farmers are putting up large
granaries on their farms.
Between August 1 and August 80
there was a drop of 3S cents in the
local card prices paid for No. 1 north
ern wheat. and a drop Of 45 cents in
the Minneapolis top price for this same
grade Of grain. Between August 1 and
80, 1914, there was an increase of Is
cents or local card prices, and an in
crease of 81 cents on Minneapolis quo
tations for this grain.
