EnaIIsh cIerax want to EnIIs..

The petition which over a thousand curates in London are presenting to the Bishop of London brings to a fresh stage the Queetion as to whether clergymen of the established church (Episcopalian9 should be allowed to enlist According to the establish rule of the Anglican church, clergymen are forbiden to serve in the fighting forces except as chaplains or non-combat- tants. The clerEymen signing the pe- tition to the Bishop are of military age and would have enlisted long ago, they say, but for violating the law of the church.
 A discussion has been carried on in the open letter columns of the news papers for some time in this regard. Opposition to enlistment by the Arch bishop of Canterbury and the various bishops rests on the theory that by ordination the clergyman Is dedicated forever to Gods service, and that the profession of a soldier is incompatible with the priesthood. This finds some support in the church and the laiety. But the more popular point of view is that there are wars often based on

There would be nothing detrimental or hrmiliating in an admission by Mexico. after all that 1t has been through in the past several years, that the typhus epidemic shas gained such a foothold that they are unable to handle 1t and accept the offers which have been made by this country to aid I. in getting rid of the dread disease. but the manner in which it refrains from so doing indicates the stubborn ness with which 1t clings to indepen- dence.

HEIRS WIN VICTORY
IN HOMESTEAD CASE
Department Makes Liberal Rul-
ing on Their Right to Com
plete Terms of Entry.

Gregory. s.. d.. Aug. 2S.-The secre-
tary of the interior has just rendered
a decision upholding the rights OF the
heirs Of Simon L.. Kent In a valuable
homestead in Mellette county.
After the death Of the original entry
man and the failure of his heirs to per-
feet their rights within the presumed
limit, a contest was filed, alleging
abandonment and failure to cultivate.
In resisting the contest, the heirs adj
mitted that the entryman had not es-
tabllshed residence and that no cult
walton had been made on the place the
first year after his death. They did
establish, however, that 10 acres had
been cultivated the second year, this
work being inaugurated as soon as they
had become informed of conditions.
The departments ruling constitutes
an unusually liberal Interpretation on
the rights of heirs to perfect proof on
a homestead where the original entry
man has died, either with, or without,
establishing residence. A few years
g it was held, In similar cases, that
the lack of legal residence within six
months after filing, either by the en-"
tryman or heirs. involved a forfeiture
OF rights.

LAW NEEDS OUTLINED
BY STATE TAX BOARD
Say South Dakota Needs Coun-
ty Assessors-"Perhaps"
Budget System, Also.

Pierre, S. D., Aug. 26.-The state tax
cludes a number of recommendations
for the consideration OF the legislature,
among them the following:
Recommendation for a county asses
sor system. All present the state has
local assessors-1,550 used in 191S-and
the commission contends one county
assessor in each county, official
ly charged with such duties, would be
able TO work to better advantage.
Better method of making state APP
preparations, a more businesslike meth
Cd If possible; perhaps the budget sys-
lem.
C~oGification of all revenue laws.
Since the state has the tax commits
sion, and duties formerly assigned to
oeler state officers in connection with
taxation are now performed by he
commission. there are foun to be some
discrepancies in the statutes, due to
the changes, causing confusion and an
noyances.
Real estate assessment for a period
OF years, rather han every year A
number of the older stares assess real
estate every five years, and that as
sessment rate holds for the period. Be-
fore this is done, however, the COM
- nv SoS "
praisal of real property.
Collection Of delinquent personal
property tax centralized. AS the law
now is it is a matter between the sher
iff and treasurer. The commission
considers putting the duty in n place
would be better.
Appropriation by the state for the
expenses of county auditors meeting
with the commission once a year. This
formerly was done. but when the tax
commission was organized the law was
repealed. The meetings are considered
very important, and so, in spite of the
repeal Of the law, have been continued.
Finally. though still a distant mat
ter. che tax commission recommends
that when the nex state census is
taken that local assessors do not take
it. They consider 1t preferable to have
1t entirely a state matter. and have
regular census enumerators.
The state AK commission has settle
levy for some general taxes next year
at 1 mill, the same as it was last year.
The corporation tax on express. tele-
graph and private car lines Is 1925
mills.
