Land TAX HIGHER
DEFICIT CREATED BY EXEMP-
TIONS WILL BE MET
THAT WAY.

Mitchell, Dec. 16.-H. G. Preston,
formerly of Mitchell, now Of Pierre,
member of the state tax commission.
and A. c.. Bernau, secretary of the
commission, were in Mitchell this
morning on business connected with
Amendment A to the state constitu-
tion.
Mr.. Preston is of the opinion that
real estate taxes must necessarily be
boosted during the coming year un-
der the terms of the new amendment.
The tax commissioner, it is said, has
practically arrived at a decision to
recommend to the legislature that
private homes and improvements up
to $4,000 shall be exempt from tax,
provided. of course, that the home is
not used as a source of revenue. but
is occupied by the owner himself.
The amendment gives the legislature
the right to make such an exemption,
and a recommendation from the tax
commission, which has been making
an exhaustive study of the situation
undoubtedly will be followed by the
legislature.
Exemption of such a class Of prop
erty, 1t Is said would create a large
deficit, which would have to be met
by an increased tax Of other property
and 1t is believed the land itself
would be called upon to raise the
bulk OF this deficit. Moneys and
credits, too, are affected under the
new amendment, and the tax or
them will be standardized through
out the state.

pro-German propagandists. however,
are absolutely without any foundation
OF truth. it was declared today.
The new and embarrassing sug-
gestions which are being raised form
the chief reason for the President
insistence upon the formation of a
league Of nations. such a society
would exercise whatever powers are
desired along the line. of policing and
interference in troubled countries. r.
Presldenfs Influence Grows.
President wilson's influence is in
creasing as a result of his personal
contact with various international
leaders. and the relations existing be-
tween the American executive and
French statesmen are extremely
cordial
II Is hoped that q similar conso
quence will follow the trip of Mr..
Wilson to London this week. At the
same time, however, II is made plain
that IL such influence Is carried out
too far the result might be the in
volving of America in an entangling
European alliance. But men of vision
on the future of the United states
express both the hope and the belief
that the President will clear up his
own attitude along this line at an
early date. II this is not done, IL may
result in further criticism at home.
President Wilson had no early en-
gaEements today. but IT was expected
