Notary Fee Not Required

Applicants for exemption under the
selective draft act will not be sub
jected to the payment Of notarial fees,
which would amount to a total Of $3.50
for each.
Three affidavits are required from
each man who applies for exemption.
These cost so cents each when made
before a notary public in this state.
The burden that would be imposed
struck Adjutant General McCord as
unjust and ten days ago he applied
to President Wilson through the war
department for a ruling.
1t provides that members of local
exemption boards can administer the
oath on the required affidavits with
cut expense to the applicants. This
ruling will become a part of the reg
ulations OF the draft code.
The affidavits required are one
from the man making application and
setting out his reasons for exemp-
ton and two in support Of this.

AsKs Lower Taxes.

AsKs Lower Taxes.
A special session OF the Missouri
general assembly has been called by
Gov. Gardner for the spring OF 1918
to reduce the state taxation rate.
other matters to be considered by
the assembly will include expendi.
lures by the state incident to the
war.
A letter from Gov. Gardner to the
Ray County Taxpayers Committee is
the result of resolution 1t adopted
dealing with the working OF the re.
Gently created State Tax Commission.
II was based on the theory assess.
ments of property at full value will
work hardship upon farmers.
Following is the governors letter:
have read the article signed by
yourselves on the subject Of tax as
sessment. The substance Of the res.
olution, take it, is that with a cash
valuation the assessed valuation of
the state would be trebled, which un.
der the present tax rate would in the
year 1918 collect $1,000, 900 more than
was ever collected before in any one
year by direct tax"
No state should collect more from
the taxpayers than is required to eco
nomically and efficiently administer
its affairs, giving the maximum serv-
ice at the minimum expense. beg
to say that after the State Board Of
Equalization has finished its work in
March. 1918, and the true valuation
has been ascertained and certified, I
shall call a special session of the leg
islature for the express purpose Of
reducing the state tax rate to a figure
meeting only the legitimate expenses
of the state. It is my opinion that
the rate can be decreased and each
biennial period thereafter the rate
may be decreased further.
The county courts, school boards
and other levying bodies will be in
formed Of the assessment as finally
determined by the State Board of
Equalization; and the said bodies will
in the spring reduce their tax rates.
The upshot of the whole proposition
will be that taxes will be euualized
honestly, justly and fairly to all cit!-
zens. Our present system, which in
vites hundreds Of thousands Of citi-
Gems, together with assessor and
board. to annual perjury, will be abol-
ished in this state, as IL has been in
practically all others Such a change
will be in conformity with the plain
law.

ENGLAND Raises No SUGAR.

One of the leading shortages in
England today IS the sugar shortage.
This is due largely to the fact that
there is no domestic production Of
sugar whatever. In line with her new
policy of raising necessities at home
England has subsidized n company to
raise sugar beets and set up a sugar
factory. Climate and soil are said to
be favorable. A tract of $500 acres
has been set aside. The treasury has
assured the enterprise of backing to
the extent of $625,000. To get this
subsidy in accordance with British law
a special company had to be organized
mot tIHding for profit"

Proposal Without Words.

If a young man in Holland is in
love, and wishes to propose to a young
lady, the custom still prevails in sew
eral provinces Of the would-be bride
groom buying a small, sweet cake and,
wrapping it up in soft paper when he
proceeds to the house of his in
amorata. Upon his arrival he is ush-
cred into the midst of the family cir
Gle. Without word he walks up to
the young woman he wishes to make
his wife, and he lays the cake on the
table before her. If she accepts his
offer, she takes up the cake and eats it.

u. S. Profits by Doubt.

District exemption boards Of review
here adopted four general rules in
passing upon exemption claims.
They are:
1. That a mans claim for exemp-
tion or discharge shall be clearly es-
tablished. The benefit of the doubt
shall be given to the government,
and local boards are requested to no.
tify all applicants that any exemption
or discharge is subject to change at
any time.
2. The claims for exemption or dis
charge that are temporary in char
acter shall be limited so that when
the reason for the temporary exemp-
tion passes, the man shall be liable
for military service.
3. That in physical examinations
the benefit Of any doubt shall be in
favor of the government.
T. The facts shown by afidavits
will be closely examined. No oral
hearing viii be held and the entire
efforts of the board in strict conform
fly with the law, will be turned to Sc
curing Missouri's full quota.

The fate of A. II. Frederick rests
with the state prison board. Whether

for clemency by Henry Kortjohn. Jr.,
Mortimer Levy and Festus J. Wade.

Kortjohn said that he appeared be-
fore the board not to defend the acts
Of Frederick. but to appeal for mercy.
I'VE admit his guilt to the very linn
It." said Kortjohn, "but we do con-
tend that the law has been fully vim
dictated and that no good end would
now be served by keeping him longer
behind the prison bars"
Kortjohn said that Frederick had
never told his side of the case. He
believed that Frederick was not men
tally responsible for his acts at the
time they were committed, and read
a letter from DR.. George Richter, who
said that the removal Of a goiter from
the neck of Frederick may have had
q tendency to wreck his nervous sys-
TEN and dull his perception Of right
and wrong.
At the conclusion Of the arguments
Chairman Painter indicated that the
findings of the board would not be
made known for several days.
That an inquiry might be made into
the mental condition Of Frederick at
the time of offenses was indicated by
Chairman Painter asking Heimenz
what would be his attitude II two
alienists should say that Frederick
was not mentally responsible at the
time.
Heimenz said that from 1908 until
his trial Frederick had sat on innu-
merable commissions for The city
and there had been no question as

he said, covered the time Kortjohn
said his mind might have been af-
