first installment of 1917 taxes In
ayne county has just been completed
by County Auditor Bowman. showing
a decrease of $12,83S.57 over the
amount collected for the same period

The reason for this decrease is that
there are a larger number OF delin.
quents than usual. On account of war

Investments with the government, peo-
pie do not have as much ready cash
on hand as usual and this may ac-
count for some of the delinquencies,
Is the opinion OF Auditor Bowman.
The tax payers have their choice of
making their returns and paying their
taxes either the first Monday in May
or the first Monday in November, and
larger number will not make their
returns until fall 1t is therefore like
ly, the county auditor said, that when
the fall returns are made the tax col
lection will show a corresponding in
crease and be as high as the amount
for the same period of the preceding
year. and possibly higher than that.

TO Make DIRECT
ANNOUNCEMENT
OF war NEEDS
Discovery Of Illegal Fee
Charges Makes New System
Necessary.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. June 21.-Examina-
ton Of the correspondence seized by
the department Of justice agents from
offices Of illegal contingency fee
agents has convinced officials that al
though the system by which middle
men obtained contracts for manufac-
turers Is improper and undesirable. 1t
had certain justification in view Of the
difficulty experienced by many con-
tractors In making connections in
washington with the bureaus or de.
partments having charge Of contracts
lot articles they manufactured.
For this reason the department Of
justice Is making special effort, 1t
was announced today. to formulate q
new method for supplying adequate
information on all government needs
to manufacturers and to make the SER
vice OF contract agents entirely un-
necessary. In this connection, the
navy system OF publishing periodical
~ what 1t desires to buy is under
close examination and some features
OF this may be extended to the war
department.
Some letters have been received
during the last few days from contrac.
tors who were clients of the contin-
gent fee agents and who praised their
services, saying they had been unable
even by repeated personal trips to
Washington to make connections with
any army officers supervising pur-
chase Of material they produced. or
flcials admit also that q few Of the
contract brokerage houses conducted
business in an apparently open man
ner, without seeking to use sinister
influences with the government rep
resentatives, or intimating that they
had such influence.
BY far the greater portion of letters
which have flooded the department
this week. however, are from contrac-
tors who condemn the middleman.
The following letter to Attorney.Gen-
eral Gregory, Is typical example:
why should 1t be necessary for
the government to patronize such curb
stone dealers, who have not a dollar Of
their own invested?
IT is evident that either the manufac-
turer or the government must main
tain them in their business, and we
fail to see any reason for their ex-
istence.
"Since we have been placed on the
bidding list, we have had more re-
quests from such people as this than
from the government
1--WE have gona 80 far as to offer
TO the government the use Of our
entire plant and output, simply asked
that we be allowed enough profit to
l6ep us even, but much as we would
like to assist tho government We alb.
soluteiy refuse to sell the government
through such people as these dealrB..
I'VE believe you will SO our point"

Obituary

Mildred Eloise Lillibridge was born
at Traer, Iowa, Sept. Is, 1896. She
lived in the state of Iowa for seven
years when she went with her parents
to Missouri, remaining there for six
years. In the year 1909 she came to
Moscow, where she spent the rest of
her life until two years ago, grad
uating from the local high school and
spending two years in the university.
Two years ago she entered the Chi
Gag Evangelistic Institute, and fin
ished a two years course in that in
stitution, graduating in May. She
found it necessary to go Immediately
to the surgeons table. The operation
was a success, but she was not able
to stand the strain, and after a
short time went to her home beyond.
She united with the Methodist
Episcopal church at the age of seven,
and remained a faithful and active
member of the same all of her life. It
may be conservatively said that Mil
dred was always one of the most in
fluential in the circle in which she
moved.
The funeral was held from the
Methodist Episcopal church on Sun
day afternoon, June 2, conducted by
the pastor, Rev. H. O. Perry. Miss
D. Villa Caffrey spoke at the close If
the sermon on the life and consecra-
ton of Mildred.
Miss Mildred's going will leave
great vacancy. The many floral de-
signs and the crowded house testified
to the fact that her going touched the
whole community.
