GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS

A bill is pending in Congress now
which contains two very important
features to the manufacturers as well
as the consumers of this country. The
main portion of the bill is created to
provide funds for the national defense
measures which have recently been
passed. The tax on incomes has been
increased on the larger incomes and
the rate of tax on inheritances has
been increase from l to 5 per cent. An
other provision imposes on manufac-
turers of ~gunpowder and explosives,
except blasting powder and dynamite,
taxes ranging from 5 to 8 per cen of
the amount of their gross receipts.
Cartridges, loaded or unloaded, pro-
jectiles, shells, guns, n and bay
onets are taxed from 2 to 5 per cen
on gross receipts and smelters or re
finers of copper / to 8 per CEN of gross
receipts. The special stamp-tax sec
tons of the emergency war evenue
act are repealed, and there are revis-
ions Of the special tax on bankers,
brokers, pawnbrokers, and proprietors
of places of amusement.
A duty imposed by the new measure
on ~dyestuffs and an "anti-dumping"
clause are the most important fea-
lures, in addition to the creation of a
tariff commission.
The provision dealing with foreign
made dyestuffs admits free of duty a
list of raw materials of such products
and upon intermediate materials speci-
fcally mentioned a rate of Is per cent
according to value with a special duty
of 2k cents per pound, has been add
ed. Upon finished colors, dyes and
stains, Photographic chemicals or ex-
plosives, not otherwise provided for in
the title, and derived in whole or in
part from the articles mentioned,
either as free or duitable, a duty of 80
per cent, with a special duty of 5 cents
per pound, will be added. These duties
will be maintained for a period Of five
years, and thereafter another period
of five years they are to be reduced 20
per cent per annum. If, however, at
the end Of the first five years the Pres
ident finds that 60 per cent of domestic
consumption of dyestuffs is not being
produced by the United States he is
empowered by the act to discontinue
the collection of the special duties.

To CONSIDER CITY
MANAGER METHOD
COMMERCIAL CLUB TO BRING UP
QUESTION AT MEETING
FRIDAY NIGHT
MANY TOWNS AND CITIES USE THE PLAN
Semi-Annual Election of Officers and
Other Important Matters Be-
for Club

The city of Brookings has grown to
such proportions and the municipal
utilities are Of such value that a
movement is now under way to investi-
gate and consider the advisabiltiy of
placing the public utilities of the city
in the hands of an expert city man
ager. This question, in addition to the
semi-annual election of officers, will
come before the members of the Com
mercial Club at the regular meeting
Friday night.
The city manager plan dates back
several years to it's first trial at Staun-
ton, Virginia. The plan not only prov
ed successful and is still in use but
it has spread to practically every city
in the country. Stanton is a city of
10000 population. In towns and cities
much smaller the plan has worked sue
cessfully and has saved the taxpayers
many thousands Of dollars in efficient
and economical management of the
business of the city.
The ownership by the city of Brook
ings of an electric and steam heating
plant, waterworks, and telephone sys-
TEN presents municipal ownership to
a degree not found in cities three or
four times larger than Brookings.
The City Auditors report of March
l, 1916, for the past year shows the
assets of the city at 5000, 1854, the
greater part Of which is invested in
the municipal plants, sewer system,
fire equipment, city hall and supplies
on hand. All Of the above amount
is invested as stated except $7,235.64,
of this amount $5,SO9.6 was cast and
the balance unpaid current bills.
Brookings is a big corporation. Big
corporations have men in charge
where definite responsibility can be
placed.

FROM NEW YORK TO GENOA
BY Daniel Bidwell

BY Daniel Bidwell
Special Correspondent Engaged for Register
through u, S. Press Association
1t was in May when the Dante-call
it Dontay-sailed from Jersey City.
Fifteen days later she was in Cadiz
harbor, whence she sailed, to dash for
her home port, Genoa.
Two hundred miles west of Cadiz,
while still on the broad waters of the
Atlantic, she took the covers off
twelve of her boats, lowered the boats
from the high davits to the rails Of the
promenade and main decks, held two
boat drills for passengers, and slowed
provisions for five days in the lockers.
Among the passengers were five sing
ers from the Metropolitan Opera
House Company of New York City and
ffty-three members of the Russian Bal
let troupe, which had danced "The
Fawn" in the same temple of art. You
may also include two war writer's,
Fred Smith of the Providence Journal
and Yours Truly. Another press repre-
sentative was Alberto Torchiani, New
York correspondent of La Tribuna, of
Rome.
The captain had thought to coal
ship in the harbor Of Cadiz, but the
Spanish authorities thought other
wise. They were not convinced that
the sale Of coal t an armed merchant
man was neutral. In the note of jan
uary 10, President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing had, in substance, limited
that such a vessel was, in effect, an
auxiliary cruiser, as to their relations
to submarine craft, and this view was
upheld in Cadiz. At midnight in the
teeth Of a stiff gale, the captain weigh
ed anchor. He was apprehensivc that
CO ntinuance in the harbor might be
construed as an overstay, and that his
ship might be liable to interment. He
had landed three members of the
Grand Opera Company, who feared the
sea trip to Genoa, because or the
chance to encounter with an enemy
submarine, and who were to gain the
city by a tedious rail journey, through
Spain and the south of France.
In the meantime the war writer's
had spent six hours in Cadiz. They
had separated to multiply by two the
chances of observation. On their re-
turn each found the others opinion to
coincide with his own: Cadiz was pro-
German. Furthermore, each had been
told, even by English business men re-
siding in the town. that Spain was pro-
German.
It was the Kings birthday. It was
a fiesta. Flags were flying and the

MRS. CLARA S. HARZA

February 20, 1857, Clara Samantha
Jolley was born at Kedron, Fillmore
county, Minnesota. During her early
years she lived in Cleveland, Ohio, and
Rochester, Minnesota vicinity. No
vember %, 1878 she was united in mar
riage to VIM. F. Harza and the follow
ing year came to Bookings county
and filed on a homestead northeast of
Bushnell where they lived until the
educational interests of their family
required better advantages; SO in 1887
they moved to Brookings. Here she
resided till after the death of her hus-
band in the fall of 1912, shortly after
which she moved to Portland, Oregon.
There she spent her last years and
passed from this life the evening Of
July 4th, 1916. Death came as a re-
suit of cerebral hemorrage. She had
spent the day at the home of her
brother, w. G. Jolley, had been in her
usual health, and at ten o'clock start
ed for home. Ten minutes later she
was found dead at the car station.
Services held at Portland the fol-
lowing afternoon were largely attend
ed; many friends, formerly of Brook
ings county, were present. At Brook
irgs services were held from the
Methodist church at 100 Sunday af-
ternoon, the church of which she had
been an active member for a quarter
century. Rev. r. A. Bruce preached
the sermon.
In w. c. T. U. work she had always
been one Of the leaders and had re-
sponsible official positions in both
state and local organizations. She al
ways supported the cause of reform
movements.
All members of her family are living
Carl W., of Detroit, Mich; Leroy F.,
Frances and Ralph, of Portland, Ore,
and Mrs. e. T. Burris, of Brookings.
All were present for the funeral SER
vices except Frances. Mrs. F. L. Dieke,
of Sparta, Wis, and daughter Gladys,
were also present.
Interment was made in Greenwood
cemetery.

HERE 1000 STRONG
UPWARD OF 800 AUTO LOADS
CAME TODAY ON ANNUAL
TRIP TO COLLEGE
SPEND ENTIRE DAY INSPECTING COLLEGE
Visitors Have Picnic Dinner on Col.
lege Campus-CommerciaI
Club Helps

More than 1000 residents of Lake
county accompanied by a number
from M%innehaha county, will make
their annual pilgrimage of inspection
to the South Dakota State College to-
day. The visitors will be carried in
upward to 800 automobiles.
The program of the day will include
a picnic dinner on the college campus
and the tour Of inspection will take
in the following departments and
places Of interest at State College: En-
cheering, horticultural, entomology,
agronomy departments, administra-
building, home economics and art de-
partments, college creamery, dormi-
tories, stock barns, agronomy expert
ment plots, winding up at the dairy
barns at milking time. The days pro-
gram will last from 1890 a. m. to 6 p.
m.
This very novel affair is under the
direction this year of Paul Brown, L.
F. Martin, Of the Commercial Club Of
Madison, and others and the number
this year will go far beyond the 500
who came up last year. Lake county
is made up of the most progressive
farmers and business men in South
Dakota and the practice of making ali
nual tours of inspection to state edu-
cational institutions is an unusual and
~praiseworthy thing.
The Commercial Club of Bookings,
will furnish the visitors coffee, cream
and sugar for their lunch and will do
everything possible to make the visit
here today pleasant.
Brookings and Brookings county
takes off their hat to Lake county's
progressive people.

SPLENDID
AMUSEMENT CLOSES
cHAUTAUoUA CLOSED EIGHT DAY
SESSION WEDNESDAY
NIGHT
cHAUTAUQUA WANTED FOR NEXT YEAR
Midland People Brought Some Excel
lent Talent to Brookings-At.
tendance Fair

Victor's Florentine band closed the
Chautauqua last night to n of the
largest crowds Of the entire eight days.
The program presented much fine tai
ent but the extremely warm weather
prevented many attending who would
have otherwise have gone.
The people of Brookings think
enough Of the value of the Chautauqua
that they have agreed to take sufic-
lent tickets to justify another trial
next year. Two hundred and ninety
seven tickets were subscribed for
Tuesday night and a large number
more added last night. Next year an
array Of entirely new talent will ap-
pear. Some objections have been ex-
pressed on account of the return of
some Of last years talent but as a
whole the crowds were nearly as good
as last year., esecially to hear victor's
Florentine band.
Kachel's Metropolitan Singers,
doubtless, gave n of the most en-
joyable programs of the series. They
are artists in every sense of the
word and presented an excellent pro-
gram of wide variety.
DR.. Gaunsaulus, head of the Armour
Institute of Technology at Chicago, de-
livered an interesting address last
Thursday night on America Tomor-
row." While DR.. Gaunsaulus wander
ed around ove a broad subject he,
nevertheless, left his audience many
wholesome things to think about in
connection with the war of Europe and
our various relations to it. DR.. Gaun-
saulus said while he is a Republican he
was thankful that this country had a
president like President Wilson at
this time. He dwelt at considerable
length upon the European war and In
illustrating his point about the weak
ness of the monarchies of Europe he
said: 1--WE now see that their jewels
are paste and their gold is brass" DR..
Gaunsaulus plainly indicated he is an
advocate of international peace but he
very plainly said that this country is a
power that shall be respected the
world over and he praised the young
men who have recently been called to
the colors, and especially did he say
some very ~commendatory things about
the boys Of Company G. In our rela-
ton with the countries of Europe and
Mexico he says the United States has
given the world a great lesson on self
control and that America has demon
strated her right of tomorrow. DR..
Gaunsaulus closed his address by say
ing: "Americanism is a journey from
yeterday with all it's wealth, traditions,
ETC., through today into tomorrow and
our task Of tomorrow shall not be q
task of reaping from a field Of the dead
but our task shall be a task of brother
hood"
The ChautauQua was under the man.
agement Of r. F. Kerr and his task
was very ably carried out and every
thing moved along as nicely as could
be wished. Prof. Kerr is entitled to no
little credit for taking the entire re-
sponsibility of managing this years
program and it can be truthfully said
his directing motives were only those
for the benefit and good of the citizens
Of Brookings and the county.

pox on Sunday. The third and last in
incubation for typhoid will be given
within a few days.
Uniforms and equipment for 1000
have arrived. The rifles and other
ordinance stores were received pre-
viously. This equipment will be issu-
ed just before departure from camp.
Examination on arrival Of the uni
forms discloses the fact that they were
heavy wool for winter use. These uni
forms along with a large number of
old blankets have been refused by
Colonel Wales, it is said.
Health Good
The general health of the command
is excellent, other than two cases Of
appendicitis, both of which have been
sent to Sioux City for operations.
Feel Vigorous Discipline
The camp has ceased to be the free
and easy National Guard camp. The
men are now being put through vigor-
Gus training and are under rules
which govern the regular army. The
boys are getting restless at what
seems to them a long delay in getting
into active service. The majority of
the young men, nevertheless, realize
the benefit to the government as well
as themselves from the training they
are undergoing. The privilege of free
pass from the grounds has been re-
stricted and only a few from each
company are permitted to go to the
city.
Discipline Good
The officers in command have had
little trouble with the men. Colonel
Wales issued the following statement
this week touching upon the co-opera-
ton between the men and the military
and civil authorities in handling the
men:
There is a strong mutual feeling be-
tween the officers Of the regiment and
the citizens and authorities of Redfeld
which permits us to work together in
perfect harmony in keeping the town
clean from gambling, liquor and the
other vices which are usually attend
ant upon an encampment Of this ma
ture. Fol this reason there has been
but little to contend with along this
line, and every day conditions are
growing better. The large crowds
visiting camp are handled mutually
and with ease through this co-opera-
ton"
