UTICA CITIZEN 70
Be GIVEN HONOR
City to Have Exclusive Ho|i-
day, Recurring Annually.
FOR GENEROUS BENEFACToR
Projected and Settled Upon at a Meet.
ing of Citizens at Which Mayor Pro.
sides-wilI Be Known a. Proctor
Day, and People Are Asked to Pay
Tribute.

Utica, N. Utica is to have an
other holiday, one entirely and exclu-
sively its own, to be observed this year
and henceforth annually as long as the
city stands. 1t is to be known as Proc
tor day, in honor of a citizen. philan-
thrOpist and benefactor who has done so
much for the city-who has surrounded
it with parks and established many of
it's charitable and public enterprises.
Added, then, to the usual holidays of
the year, so far as Utica is concerned,
will be Proctor day, when the people
will cease from their labors and cele-
brate the day in fitting manner, look
ing forward to it from year to year as
an established occasion in the life of
the city. =
All this was determined and settled
upon at meeting of citizens held in
the common council chambers, the
mayor of the city. Hon. James D.
Smith. presiding.
Mayor Smith gave his Endorsement Of
the project, declaring that he was will
ing to serve in any capacity that would
be useful to the project. D. f.. Howe,
secretary of the chamber of commerce,
was chosen secretary, and he also ex-
pressed his qualification over the fact
that a Proctor day had been inaugu-
rated. Il
A general discussion followed and
ways and means of organizing Proctor
day upon permanent basis were con-
sidered. The opinion prevailed that a
permanent and self perpetuating body
should be formed for conducting the
celebration from year to year, with au-
thority to appoint committees to assist
as occasion might require.
It is understood, although it was not
finally settled, that the celebration this
year should be held Saturday, July 8.
There was some discussion as to the
practicability Of having Decentralization
so near to the Fourth Of July, but this
was regarded as a matter which could
be determined after more considera.
ton.
The question of financing the holiday
also came up for discussion, and the
opinion prevailed that the celebration
should not be Of character requiring
heavy expense. 1t was agreed that
there should be bands, speaking and a
few attractions in the parks, but that
the aim should be to make the occasion
as much of home affair as possible,
where the people of the city could
come together in pleasant recreation
and amusement. AS mode Of raising
the little money required it was sug-
gested by Mr.. Maher, and the sugges-
ton was generally approved. that
small receptacles should be placed in
the stores and factories Of the city,
into which the people might deposit
whatever amounts they choose to de-
fray the expenses. 1t was suggested
that the receptacles should bear the
following inscription:
PROCTOR DAY.
Saturday, July 8, 1916.

honor a name that deserves our best.

Leaves Balance For County

That the Register of Deeds Office
is a paying proposition to the tax
payers of the county is evidenced
by the report filed with the county
auditor covering the fees received
by Register of Deeds Barth for
the time from February Ist, to
Dec. 3Ist, 1915.
We find from an examination of
the report that the fees received
for the different months were as

A Booster Song

Below we print booster song
which we swiped from an exchange
and remodeled to suit the occasion.
1t should be sung by everyone in
kadoka and our trade territory; in
our public school, and we don't
know but what it might be a good
plan to open church services with it.
tTune- Marching Thru Georgia)
Bring the good Ole booster out, wen
sing a rousing song
Wen sing it with n spirit that will
boost this town along
Wen sing it as we ought to sing with
full three thousand strong,
While we're boosting of Kadoka.
Chorus:-
Hurrahi HuIrah for the boosters
wise aud true!
Hurrah! Hurrah for the good we all
can do!
We will make 1t sorry for the knock
ers and their crew, ..
While we're boosting of Kadoka.
The merchants will treat you right,
If you give them your trade;
They'll give all your moneys worth
with every purchase made.
The goods they have to offer you, are
strictly highest grade,
Here in the town of Kadoka.
.Chorus:-
They have just as good town as
you'll find on the map,
We have lot of people who are full
of vim and snap,
But we also have a few who never
cares rap,
While we're boostinglfor Kadoka.

Mr.. Barth received as salary
during this time the sum of
$Io76. 90 and the postage account
was SAT. 80, leaving balance to
go to the county general fund of
S22I.5o. This record is certainly
an encouraging one, and when you
stop and consider that Mr.. Barth
has had no deputy and has done
the work alone, the tax payers
throughout the county should in
deed feel glad that we have a man
as Register of Deeds who is not
afraid to burn midnight oil in
order to accommodate the patrons OF
his Office.

said: There is one serious objection
to you. You have been at Freburg.
and you know you have to unlearn a
good deal when you get into active
practice l am sorry to say there is
a great deal of truth in that too.
Well said. 4 will tell you in con-

BUDGET BILL PASSED
Receives Unanimous Support of Sen
ate, And Now Goes to Confer
ence Committee.

Annapolis, March 2.-The Senate
tonight passed the Budget bill, with
the amendments offered by the Com
mittee on Constitutional Amend
ments. The vote for the bill was
unanimous, but Senator Norris, OF
Baltimore city, stated that he voted
for it because 1t was promised IN
the Democratic platform. He stated
that he expected to work at the
polls against the adoption of the bud
get amendment to the Constitution.
Only one of the amendments 1t re-
Earded as serious by the friends OF
the bill as submitted by the GoodnoW
Commission. That is the one strlk-
ing out the clause requiring the Gov
ernor, in submitting the budget, to
make provision for the public schools
In accordance with Section of the
Constitution.
Inasmuch as the House passed the
bill in exactly the form submitted by
the Goodnow Commission, it will be
necessary for each branch of the Leg
islature to name members of a con-
ference committee to consider the
Senate amendments. 1t is believed
probable that this committee will
recommend that the school amend
ment be dropped.

Communication

CO1COT OIL 1u0 oduuSI.
From a point of duty I ask the
privilege of a small space in your
columns, having faith in the saying,
from a multitude of counsel there
Is wisdom glad tLat so
many are speaking out; those who
have decided convictions should ex-
press them. Our representatives
ought to know our opinions as to leg
islation. If we keep silent in these
days we should not complain if
things 60 contrary to our views.
We get it from best authority that
our present county bond issue is
$4,000, and floating Indebtedness
carrying the amount to S23O,OOO,
which might just as well be bonded;
then add proposed school bond of
$4,000. and proposed town bond OF
$4,000; all these, with the neces-
sary interest, sinking or redemption
fund, and the continuation of good
roads wanted, and everything else in
proportion. Then deduct from the
present sources of revenue the pro-
posed repeal of tax on mortgages and
should. to be consistent, include
notes and judgments, from $4,000
to $4,000, tax on furniture, $1,000,
already exempt, where will our tax
rate go?
Can we stand everything? We had
better stop and take good look at
ourselves. I say, "No!"! ~! !dawa
Place furniture tax on again, keep
the mortgage tax on, we need it. The
class Of people who hold mortgages
should pay it. They have as much
1YH1k 70 h41~ f0tr 1c
courthouses and jails, and good
roads, etc., as the property poor
citizens-as the benefactor who bor-
rows money from them to invest in
some enterprise giving employment
and building up our towns and coun
ty. Every citizen should pay taxes
In proportion to his worth, be it in
any kind of property or securities.
No one should wish another to pay
the taxes he ought to pay. Ifsany
one is to be shielded, let it be the
man who gives employment and is
public benefactor.
We need capital; we have it. We
can go to tht banks and get credit
to the limit If we have not already
done SO, for per cent, not 8, 10 or
Is per cent. as we have heard of
&om capitalists.
The watchword now is economy
and efficiency. Let the powers that
be lop of every unnecessary Office,
add more work to other offices, and
let the salaries get no higher; they
get enough. The Legislature should
reduce Judges salaries and abolish
Judges pensions; should go slow on
appropriations, and be sure they are
right.
Bonding the county for bills made
IL necessary; the bills must be paid,
and some interest would probably be
saved by bonding, but for future
purposes they should be careful how
they add more expense. Table all
unwarranted bond bills. Cambridge
wants bond issue of $4,000 to
curb our streets; give the people a
chance to vote on it. When April
LIST comes, let the Legislature adj
3ourn for six years; we get too much
legislation: it is expensive; often the
good it does is overbalanced by per-
sonal ambition. greed, graft and ut
ter disregard Of the common peoples
rights.

1urks, Namea For Greeks.

The Turks have definite names for
the Greeks who inhabit Ottoman terri,

their country Yunanistan-names de-

the inhabitants Of Constantinople. the
new Rome. were called Romaioi. while
the provincials were known as Hella
