MAYOR TO REQUEST
30 MORE POLICE
CONTINUED From First Pagel

the various city departments declare
they cannot yet figure how the city
fathers can avoid adding at least a
quarter and perhaps a half MILL That
the commissioners will do their level
best to keep down the appropriation
goes without saying; therell be good
deal at stake during the coming year,
what with the first Tuesday after the
first Monday of November, 1917,
fraught with unpleasant possibilities.
The Thirty Cops
And, in view of the further fact that
thirty more policemen will boost the
budget at least $4,000, grave doubt
has been expressed as to whether
Mayor Meals will get all he asks for.
Which, city circles believe, will mean
some unpleasant set-tos between the
Mayor and his fellow commissioners
during budget making time.
The Mayor has declared that the
city needs thirty more policemen and
that if he, as head of the Police De-
partment, is not supplied with addi-
tional aid, opposing councilmen cannot
expect his help in advancing any pet
moves.
Increased Revenues
The increased valuation may mean
an additional million dollars on the
assessment; the Mayors suggestion for
paying the electric light bill from the
Water Department funds may get
some considerations; but the chances
for a very specific boost in revenues
arc not of the brightest-and the city's
outlay during 1917 is bound to be
considerably greater.
Furthermore. if the work in the
various departm is to be continued
until the close of the year, there may
be deficits in some of the departments.
These will have to be provided for in
the new budget. The street repairing
fund will be exhausted; Commissioner
w. Fl. Lynch spent more money than
ordinarily. it is true, hut-he repaired
more than $4,000 square yards of as
phalt street.
The Typhoid Cost
In the Bureau of Health and Sani-
tation there will be a considerable
deficit, due, in a measure, to the es-
tablishment of the emergency con-
valescent typhoid hospital. Park Com
missioner Gross Is down to hard pan
in his department and in fact the
Mayor has had to do a lot of careful
scraping to finish up the year with a
clean slate.
That more money for street repair
work will be asked for by Mr.. Lynch
is generally expected; Mr.. Bowman
ornamental lighting which will be q
drain natural on the departmental
purse strings. New lighting for Fed
eral Square in particular has been
promised for the new year.
In the Park Department
In the Park Department Mr.. Gross
will have to have more money. His
new departmental automobile must be
paid for; additional funds are required
for general maintenance and repairs:
money will have to be set aside for the
sinking fund interest and state taxes
on the 100000 fire loan.
Maybe" said ono dubious council
man to-day, I'VE might be able to get
through the coming year without rails
ing the mill rate, but I've very grave
doubts. If we are to provide ade-
nuately FOR the departmental needs,
to my mind we ought to increase the
revenues by adding at least-!half a
mill"

WILSON GETS KANSAS VOTE
While Kansas Gives Wilson Big Ma
Jorlty, Democrats Lose Their
Entire State Ticket.

Topeka, Nov. 13-Kansas cast some
where in the neighborhood of 100000
to $4,000 votes ON President last
Tuesday, according to estimates based
on incomplete returns SO far reported.
OF these $4,000, in round numbers,
went for Woodrow Wilson, Democrat,
and 277,000 for Charles E. Hughes,
Republican. The Socialist and Pro
hibition vote, ON which practically no
returns are available, is variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000. These
estimates would give Wilson plu-
rality over Hughes in Kansas of $4,000.
On governor the reports SO far re-
ceived indicate that Governor Capper,
Republican, was reelected by plu-
rality of 10000 over w. c. Lansdon,
Democrat While the returns, on gov
ernor SO far are not as complete as
on President, it is estimated that Gov
ernor Capper's total vote will be about
SS8,OOO; Lansdon's probably will be in
the neighborhood of $4,000. These es-
Inmates would indicate a total vote on
governor of approximately $4,000, al
lowing that Socialist and Prohibition
ballots were cast in the gubernatorial
contest. The Republican state ticket,
on the average, seems to have run
about $4,000 to 10000 ahead Of the
Democratic state ticket, aside from
governor, and probably averaged sew
eral thousands ahead of the vote for
IIu0l1ae foy. proSidnnf
Hughes has carried twenty-seyen
counties and Wilson seTentytwo. This
accounts for .ninety-nine counties, with
Wilson leading by $4,000 plurality
The six remaining counties are all
small western ones with only a few
hundred votes and are likely to add
to the Wilson lead.
Wyandotte is the banner Wilson
county, but Cherokee did it's best to
keep up and Sedgwick was chasing
Cherokee hard. Shawnee gave Hughes
larger plurality than Wyandotte
gave Wilson. Doniphan, Wabaunsee
and Douglas were next best.
From the best information available
Capper carried every county but De
cstur and Ford, and the Democrats
say there must be some mistake about
Ford. Even Ellis. which never gave
the Republican ticket a respectable
vote before. gave plurality to Cap
per.
Hughes carried only five counties in
the Seventh district, including Reno.
while Wilson carried tWenty-one. With
four Of he Seventh district counties
yet to hear from. an OF them likely for
Wilson. as that was the way the neigh
boEg went.

OFFICIAL RETURNS ARE SLOW
Secretary Roach Does Not Expect to
Cast Up Missouri's Vote for
Several Days.

st. Louis, Nov. 13.--Virtually COM
plete returns from all the counties in
the state, including returns from sew
enty-two counties which have been
verified by the county clerks, show
Frederick D. Gardner received S80,S30
votes and Henry Lamm 37S,825, plu-
rality for Gardner of 1905.
1t is quite apparent now that there
will be no hope of the official returns
of the Missouri election being cast up
before Monday and Tuesday Of next
week, as was forecast by Secretary
of State Roach some days ago. The
vote of the city Of st. Louis cannot be
expected to reach Jefferson City much
before next Saturday or Sunday and
there are always some slow counties
that hang back until the last minute
with their election returns.
Some of the county official vote
reached the office of Secretary Roach
today, but it is sealed and it is con-
trary to law to open any until the last
county has reported.
For the first time in many years
there is not a single set Of figures
available in Jefferson City showing re-
turns of the election. Everybody at
the state capital has depended this
year on the newspapers.

Farm Vote the Factor.
There are several great outstanding
facts concerning the result of the elec-
ton, one Of which is that labor, in all
the big Industrial states except Ohio,
declined to give its undivided support
to President Wilson despite his claim
to it on the score of having persuaded
congress to pass the Adamson "eight-
hour" bill. New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, In
diana, all gave the Republican candi-
date pluralities, and Ohio's vote In IA
vOr of Wilson is not certainly to be at
tributed to the labor vote.
Another interesting development was
the independence of the West. which is
asserting that 1t elected president
without the aid of New York and Penn
sylvanla and other big western and
central states. When 1t was found.
early in the evening Of election day,
that the empire state had gone for
Hughes, the newspapers Of the metrop-
oils, even those that had supported
Wilson, conceded the victory TO the
Republicans, without waiting to hear
from the middle West. When the re-
turns came in from these regions. It
was found that the farmer and stock
raiser had decided the election.
Yet another fact that calls Tor com
ment is that Governor Johnson Of Cal
Ifornia, running on the Republican and
Progressive tickets has been elected 10
the United States senate by something
like 10000 plurality, and yet the state
went Democratic 90 the presidency.

CONCLUDES NINETEENTH YEAR

It's an ill-wind, indeed, that hasn't a
silver lining, as Josh Billings would
say. In this case the silver lining
played a double header. Some two
score years ago a young and promising
Fastener started for the northwest,
but tarried at Akron, Ohio.
So enamored did he become with the
potential seat of manufactured rubber
culture that he %besought himself a
newspaper job then and there. 1t be-
ing necessary to interview a brother
of no less than Frank Pixley, the now
eminent father of drama and musical
comedy, in order to officially affix HIM

VOTE ON FOUR AMENDMENTS

WATERFOWL Public Opinion:-The
constitution of the state of South Ia
kota contains this clause: Nor shall
the state engage in any work Of in
ternal Improvement" Several years
ago when it was desired to organize
drainage districts in the southeastern
portion OF the state, the people ran
bump into this provision and had to
stop until a special amendment was
submitted and approved. Later, the
irrigationists met the same obstacle
and attempted to amend but failed in
the election of 1914.
At the coming election four separate
amendments are to be voted upon
seeking to escape the inhibition quot
ed. These relate to irrigation districts,
rural credits. state highways and the
mining and sale of coal upon state
lands. There IS reason to expect that
all of these win prevail this year.
The irrigation amendment is identi-
cal with the one defeated at the last
election. 1t permits the formation OF
irrigation districts and the bonding Of
such districts for the irrigation Of the
lands affected. Only the lands 10 be
benefited can be CHARGED with the
costs. This amendment is Of vital i'm
portance to large sections in the west,
ern part of the state.
The rural credits amendment per
mits the state, any county, or several
counties comparatively to engage in
making long time farm loans. The ag-
ricultural people of the state are ire
mendiously interested in this provis-
ion. 1t is expected that under its oper-
alton abundant means can be supplied
to farmers at a very low rate to be re-
paid in small annual payments.
The state highway amendment is in
tended to permit the state to take adj
vantage Of the provisions of any bill
which congress may pass for national
aid to highways.
The coal amendment is intended to
permit the state to supply coal to the
people of the state, from lands belong
ing to the state" South Dakota owns
vast quantities of land in the north

western counties, much Of which is I'M
derlaid with veins of good Ignite. II
is now announced that a process has
finally been evolved for the briquetting
of our Ignite without the use or a
binder; in fact promoters are at this
time in the field seeking TO organize
b1iquetting companies and offering to
give satisfactory bonds to indemnify
investors in case the machines fail to
do the work for which they are intend
ed. The briQuets made by the new pro-
cess retain all of the native gases and
have $4,000 b. t u. as compared to
10000 in commercial antracite. There
is an abundance of Ignite TO practical
~ supply the South Dakota fuel mar
ket forever. 1t is now represented that
the briquets can be placed on airs at
the mine for less than 81 per ton. And
cen be sold in our local markets at re-
tail at prices varying from IS TO IS
per ton as against $11.00 to $1,000 for
anthracite. Our present fuel bill is
$11,O 600. 900 annually. The utilization
Of our own supplies will cut this sum
three or four million dollars, or a sum
sufficient to pay all the cost of state
government and maintenance Of all
our state institutions for two years.
Should these amendments prevail, as
they now seem certain to do, the next
Legislature will be called upon to enact
more constructive legislation than has
confronted any previous session.
