NEW TAX BILL WOULD
MAKE FARMER PAY IT ALL

Editor Jim Richardson Of the
Glasgow Times, is shooting the pro-
posed new tax law full Of holes in
every issue of his good paper lie
argues that if the State administra-
ton is anxious to raise more money
for taxes, instead of putting over
loaded proposition like the pro-
posed bill on the farmers of Ken
lucky, it increase the tax on whisky
made in Kentucky to five cents per
gallon and place tax of cent a
bushel on coal mined in Kentucky.
This will solve the whole question,
and raise more revenue than the
most extravagant administration
can devise means of squandering he
thinks. And to prove that such a
means Of raising additional reve-
nue. will not work a hardship on
Kentucky, he cites figures to show
that the biggest portion of the
booze made in Kentucky is sold in
other states, and by far the largest
part of the coal mined in Kentucky
is shipped to other states. For this
reason, the Kentucky consumer will
in the end have to pay only a very
small portion of the increased tax.
And the farmer, who is now taxed to
death, will escape the additional
burdens. which the proposed tax
law may place on him. Some logic
I'M this. Why pay over 100000 for
special session of the legislature,
and turn the whole taxation system
upside down, and in the end give
the farmer and landowner, who can
not hide their property, the worst
OF it, when couple of little changes
in the present law, like those sug-
gested by Col. Richardson, will
wipe out the state debt, and give the
politicians at Frankfort, so much
money in the treasury that they can
be kept busy the rest of their terms
trying to devise ways to spend it,
without racking their brains to dis
cover the easiest method to create
lot more fat jobs and to slap more
taxes on the already over-taxed
farmers ?-Stanford Interior Jour
nal.

INGERSoLL ON "WOMAN"

sit takes hundred men to make
an encampment, but one woman can
make home. | not only admire
woman as the most beautiful object
ever created, but l reverence her
as the redeemed glory of humanity,
the sanctuary of all virtues, the
pledge of all perfect qualities OF
heart and head. 1t is because wom-
en- are so much better than men that
their faults are considered greater.
The one thing in this world that is
constant, the only peak that rises
above the clouds, the one window in
which the light burns fovever, the
one star that darkness cannot
quench, is woman's love. 1t rises
to the highest heights, it sinks to
the lowest depths, it forgives the
most cruel injuries. A wOman's
love is the perfume of the earth.
This is the real love that suDdues
the earth; the love that has wrought
all miracles of art; that gives us
music all the way from the cradle
song to the grand closing symphony
that bears the soul away on wings
of fire. A love that is greater than
power, sweeter than fife and stron-
ger than death"

EXEMPTION BOARD
GOVERNOR APPOINTS GEO. X
FARMER SPECIAL AGENT
FOR GOVERNMENT.

The local exemption board is again
in session today, passing on the
claims for exemption presented as a
result of the recent examinations.
Many have not yet filed their claims.
But such as have will be considered,
and the results Of their decisions Ger
titled up to the district board.
Gov. Norbeck Monday appointed
Geo. r.. Farmer as special agent and
pleader on the part of and for the
governments side of claim eases.
He acts independently of the local
board. and when i'm his Judgment
there is an error or favoritism he is
to proceed as pleader for the govern
ment. and certify such facts and cir
cumstances up to the district board
as will in his judgment secure justice
to the government and prevent eva
sion by the man selected. His office
is considered an adjunct or local rep
resentation of the provost marshal
generals office.
According to news dispatches, a
new definite statement of the admin
istration's Interpretation of the ex-
emption of married men and those
with dependents is expected within a
few days. President Wilson has
taken up the problem and probably
will settle it himself.
Those who were certified up for
service on examination OF their
claims today were as follows. The
first man changed his plea and with
drew his claim: Albert N. Johnson,
Clark Charles Wengert. Frederick +.

MISS MORSE RETURNS
BUYS WOMEN'S FININ'S FOR
FALL WEAR-SIGHTS AND
BUSINESS GOOD.

Miss l.. b. Morse returned last
night from a purchasing trip at Chi
cago. Milwaukee and the twin cities.
where she made selections for her
fall stocks and display of millinery
and ready to wear ladies' clothing.
She reports that business is much
as usual. business men making no
complaint of spasms Of saving affect
ing the current Of trade at all.
OF styles and eolors Miss Morse
had little to say. Styles are bound
TO be influenced more or less by the
military situation. though not in so
pronounced a manner as might be
expected. Colors are to lose some of
their startling effects in the later
styles, new shades being added to
the multiplicity of colors or varia-
tions now used. One, munitions, -
is to be a gray, sober in effect. No
/ announcement is made at this time
of the, opening Of the display of fall
| styles, though she did say that she
thought it better to make the open
ing at a later date this year than has
been practiced heretofore.
Great interest was evinced by
business lei in the twin cities as to
the crop situation in this portion OF
South Dakota. Some there were
who were ~conversant with the sit
uation, and needed only her corrob-
Grafton as to the good crop here.
Others were surprised at her op-
timism in assuring them that this
part of the state had nothing at al
to complain of, and that we had bet
ter than the average of crop.
While in the various cities Miss
Morse found time to visit places OF
interest-interest meaning in these
days something military. The great
camps at Fort Sheridan and the Great
Lakes naval training station are de.
scribed as being places of intense ac.
