THE UNIVERSITY MILL TAX.

When The Intelligenoer commented
dpon this proposition IL remarked that
II did not approve OF any plan that
contemplated the surrender Of con.

tax for the support OF the State Uni

TO put the University In an independ.

IL concerned. In other words. Il aims
20 create a permanent means Of SUD

lature. Whether or not the perma-
nent means OF support be furnished

State constitution. or BY a statute. or
simply by agreement OF the legisla-
ture. the provision which sets aside
this revenue. whether temporary or
permanent for the benefit OF the uni
versity takes les control out OF the

There is no good reason why the
University should seek a permanent

AFFLICTED MENTALLY

man, the missing Rockham. S. D., CASH
Ter, who disappeared on Monday aft
ernoon, was traced yesterday as far
as Aberdeen, where the trail was again
lost. Hagman was seen early Thurs
day at Chelsea, S. D., without a nat
or collar, and much disheveled, indi-
eating he was either mentally unbal-
anced or had been injured in some
way. That afternoon he appeared at
Mellette, S. D., where he took a freight
train and came to Aberdeen.
A grain dealer who knew Hagrnan,
but did not know that he was wanted,
rode OIL the freight with him to this
place. Upon arriving here, Hagman
again disappeared, and has not yet been
located. His two brothers and Director
Lyon, of the Rockham bank, were here
yesterday, looking for the missing man.
Every hotel and lodging house in town
was searched, but ne trace of him could
be found His brothers are certain he
Is demented.
So far as known, Hagman's accounts
with the bank are straight, though it
Is alleged he was heavily in debt. He
left Rockham Monday evening in his
automobile, to go to Zell, another town
IN Faulk county, to rrange to contin-
ne an account of about S1,400 in the
Eell bank. Later his automobile was
found standing by the roadside, about
20 rods from Zell. B~loodhounds could
not locate him and he was not seen
again until Thursday.

VERMlLLlON WILL VOTE
ON MUNICIPAL CHANGES

Vermilion, S. D., Nov. 1O.-Dissatis-
faction with the present municipal
form of government has resulted in a
petition being filed with the county
commissioners, asking them to call a
special election and submit to the vot-
ers he proposition of abandoning the
commission form of city government
and returning to the old city council
system. The city commissioners have
not yet called the special election, and
will not do SO for a week or 10 days.
in order to give City Attorney Payne
an opportunity to study the matter and
discover whether or not various com
pllcations that might result can be done
away with. Just how to elect a new
city council is n of the problems that
the commissioners have under consid-
Grafton. 1t also is believed that the
school board would be legislated out of
office If the city council plan is sub
stituted for the present commission
plan. This is the second time since the
commission form was adopted that an
effort has been made to have a special
election called with the object of re-
turning to the city council system. The
nrst petition, filed last spring, was
rejected by the city commissioners be-
u 1t was found to contain less than
