M S R,da lost eight head f
cattle from corn stalk disease and
in order to secure authentic infor
nation as to the cause, wrote an
inquiry to the State College mt
Brookings, together with few
samples of ear corn containing
smut and a green mold, the ears
being taken from the suspected
riece of field. In the opinion of
Professor G Michel, who answer
ed his inquiry, the smut and espe-
cially the green mold is the cause
of the poisoning Of cattle and the
disease in the technical term is
"Mycotic Stomatitis". The svmp
toms are: Inability to Craze, sail
Va dribbling from the mouth and
iuque" chahle thirst, s. that the
animal seeks water and holds lis
mouth in the trough or water
The animal appears to be hungry,
but cannot eat. The mouth is red
and the gums, lips and tongue
swollen. Blisters form which
soon change to ulcers. The pro
per precaution then would be to
keep the cattle awaV from fields
whore such mouldy corn is found
or suspected and the corn should
be burned.

One of the greatest plays of mod
ern times.

The local postoffiice has been
raised from the fourth to third
class since Oct. 1st, but the matter
did not leak until now and natur-
ally there is some agitation among
local faithful democrats to land the
job.
Last week mention was made in
these columns that Fr. Hacicky
had his fingers amputated in Yank-
ton after having them crushed in
a corn shelter. The facts are that
he was hurriedly taken to DR.. Ble-
eek after that accident, who took
care of him.
Mrs Martin Homer was at
Dn"te early in the week visiting
with her son, Martin, who has had
his lower eyelid laceratpd by the
recoil of a piece of wire while in
stalling electric lights in the house
of Anton Fillaus. 1t required five
stitches to set things right and the
boy is getting along nicely. He
had a narrow escape from losing
his eye, however. e..
VacIav Obr visited his son V. j..
near Avon Tuesday and informs us
that his son had lost a barn and
two horses besides 3 loads of hay,
harness and other articles that
were in the barn, last Friday by
fire. The fire was started by his
4-year old son who struck a match
in the barn. His father at the
time was in Dante on business.
The loss is covered partly by in
surance.
John Travnicek, who.sOme time
ago in an unaccOuntable way re-
cpived bad injuries while in town
is rapidly recovering. Two of his
front teeth were broken off, his
nose bridge broken in and bruises
on the body. Mr.. Travnicek can
not account for the accident, and
as it happened in the evening when
he had henn found by his Team un-
conscious, there are u" witnesses
to prove h,w it happ"' ed. Al
first it. was thought that he might
have been slugged by an enemy,
but he himself denied this when
he regained consciousness in DR..
Blezeks Office.

THE SENATE

Senate bill 2+9, the Addison propo-
sition to Increase the franchise tax
from / Is per cent to IL per cent
was the measure which served 10
bring forth some interesting statistical
figures and statements affecting the
railroads of Virginia, in the Senate
yesterday.
The bill was drawn by Senator Ad-
olson after the Finance Committee
had received a communication from
Auditor Moore urging that the rate or
taxation be increased in keeping with
the increase in real estate values Of
Virginia. which is II per cent over
Ave years ago. The Finance Com
mittee OF the Senate had made
recommendation of / Ia per cent
an increase OF just one-e!ghth OF one
per cent over the present tax and
one-fourth less than that sought by
the provisions of the bill presented by
Senator Addison.
Senator Addison resumed his speech
in support of the BILL and in doing so
relied strongly on the recommended
tons OF Auditor Moore. the fiscal
agent OF the State, who had made a
careful study of the@matter of taxa
ton. Mr.. Moore had urged the in
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1916-03-08

ters beyond which It might not, be
expected to go. The railroads had the
right to 80 into court and to resist
what might be to them an injustice.
Strobe Closes Debate.
Senator Strobe closed the debate,
calling attention to the underassess-
ment of the railroads by the officers
charged with that duty. He expressed
the belief that .iae purpose of the Con-
stitutional Convention was to add the
franchise tax on railroads to the
taxes which railroads had heretofore
been paying. He had no hesitation in
saying that he believed the PROPOSE
tin of the Senator from Lynchburg,
IL concurred in. would not be greater
on the railroads than the II per cent
increase on real estate generally.
Pill Is Passed.
The bill was then taken up for con-
sideration, and the amendments to
make the rate / 7-16 and l 3-S and
for other purposes were all rejected.
and the question required on the bill
as reported, fixing the rate of franchise
to l Ia, an increase of 1-2, and 1t
was agreed to by unanimous vote,
not member voting against the COM
inittee report.
Lcngthen the Sessions.
Senator Gravatt, of Caroline, made
a request for permission to take up
out of Its order his bill to amend the
Constitution to allow for an extension
OF the regular sessions for ninety days
instead of sixty, as provided under the
Constitution.
Senator West opposed taking the
bill up, saying that the Senate had
already defeated a resolution to the
same effect, and he asked the mem
bers to reject the motion, which was
done.
The Appropriation Bill.
On motion of Senator Holt a sub
committee of the Finance Committee
Garrett, Holt, West. Downing and
Cannon-was allowed to set during
the sessions OF the Senate in order 10
complete the consideration of some
details of the general appropriation
bill
Taxes In Washington.
Senator Jordan yesterday offered a
resolution in which he recited that the
city of Washington and the District of
Columbia were being made the legal
home of many persons who seek to
avail themselves of the absence Of any
taxes on intangibles, and that the
United States government is encour-
aging and fostering the nonpayment
OF taxes and declaring that this was
bad precedent.
The resolution called on the mem
bers OF Congress from Virginia to
support a bill in the Congress which
would impose the average taxes OF all
the States on that class Of property
located in the District of Columbia.
The resolution was agreed to with
out dissenting vote.
