tenn. of the House of Representatives
Popular estimate placed upon his
work as a legislator was shown in
his election to the state senate in
1898-99 Mr. Dodson was a Jealous
and we'll poised legislator and was in
huential in the carrying forward OF
much wise legislation which has be-
come a part of the history of the com
monwealth. In a sketch of the scope
of the one here presented it is impos-
sible to enter into details concerning
his activities in the legislature, but it
should be stated that he served as a
member of many important commit
tees in both the House and the Senate,
~of number of which he was chair
man He introduced and ably cham
pioned to enactment what is known
as the DodsoH Insurance Act, a law
that compels insurance Companies do
ing business in Georgia to pay the full
AMOUNTS of claims ON all policies with
out attempting to negotiate comprom-
Uses or partial payments.
AS a member of the public utilities
committee of Americus, Mr.. Dodson
was a leader in gaining to the city its
admirable gas and electric service,
and as a lawyer and public spirited
citizen he has otherwise done much
to further the civic and material we'll
being of his home community. He
is one of the extensive land-holders
of Sumter county nd as such takes
specially deep interest in all things
pertaining to agricultural and allied
industries.
Mr. Dodson is known as an able and
ardent exponent of the principles of
the democratic party and has given
yeoman service in campaign work in
the southeastern part of the state. He
is afiliatd with the Knights of Pythias,
the Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks, and the Woodmen of the
World. Though reared in the faith
of the Baptist church, of which his
parents were Jealous and influential
members, Mr. Dodson attends and
supports the Protestant Episscopl

under the able and punctilious pre-
ceptorship OF his father, and in 1884
he was admitted to practice, by Judge
Allan Fort. Thereafter he was as
sociated in practice with his father
until the latter's death, and he soon
won for himself individual success
and precedence as a strong trial law
yer and we'll fortified counselor, be-
sides which he became an influential
figure in political affairs in Sumter
county In the autumn of 1898 he was
elected representative of this county
in the state legislature, and in 1895
he was reelected, this being the most
effective tribute to his excellent serv-
ice. He entered with characteristic
vigor and loyalty into the work of
the legislative body of his native state,
and in the session of 1867 he was
called upon to serve as speaker pro

LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
County Executive Committee Make Up
List From Assessment Books for
Liberty Loan Drive.

The Executive Committee Of the 3rd
Liberty Loan Drive for Custer county
have been in session all week at the
court house going oyer the assessment
books making up list of all the tax
payers in the county. Each person
whose name appears on the tax rolls
will be expected to make subscription
to the next Liberty Loan, and it will be
we'll to have your mind made up and
plan to receive the solicitors in friend
ly manner when they call. This is a
voluntary service on their part, and
they are giving the government their
effort to raise the county's quota.
April 9th is the opening day for the
big campaign. That date, however will
not find the solicitors in the field in this
county, but people will begin to make
inquiries as to what their individual al
lotment is and subscribing for the num-
ber of bonds that has been assessed to
them. This procedure will continue
until April 18th. After that date the
solicitors will see that no one is over
looked.
The State of South Dakota has been
allotted $22, 100000, and of this amount
Custer county has been apportioned
$93, 10000. This is $lS,50O more than
the county raised during the last cam
paign.

Men Wanted at Once.

The present effort is directed more to-
wards getting the men to France early
in the year to meet the emerg encies
there than toward increase in the mum
Der to be sent during the year.
Many factors, it was said enter into
any proposal to increase the number of
men under training here. They must
be drawn largely from agricultural and
industrial fields and the allies supply
lines as we'll as the Americans are
largely dependent upon American food
and supplies.

WHAT YOUR BOND PUR-
CHASE WILL ACCOMPLISH.

The following figures give one a defin-
ite idea of what his or her loan to the
Government by the purchase of Liberty
Bonds will accomplish when used by the
War Department:
One $50 bond will buy trench knives
for a rifle company, or % hand gren-
AIDES, or 81 cases Of surgical instruments
for enlisted mems belts, or 10 cases of
surgical instruments for officers belts.

feed a soldier for eight months, or pur-
chase rifles or 80 rifle grenades or As
hand grenades, or 25 pounds of ether, or
l45 hot water bags, 1000 surgical
needles
A 500 and $50 bond will clothe and
equip an Infantry soldier for service
overseas, or feed a soldier for year
Two 500 bonds will purchase horse
or mule for Cavalry, Artillery, or other
service
Three 500 bonds will clothe a soldier
and feed him for one year in France, or
buy motorcycle for machine gun
company.
-Four 500 bonds will buy an X-ray
outfit.

for the headquarters company of an In
fantry regiment

THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has
made an announcement regarding the
third Liberty Loan, which is to be offer
ed for subscription at par, beginning to-
day, April 9th. The terms of the opera
tion now made public are to the effect
that the next war loan shall embrace
So 900, 100000 of At per cent bonds, but
that any oversubscriptions beyond that
sum will be accepted. 1t is to be pro-
vided, however, that the bonds of this
offering shall not be convertible into
subsequent issue bearing a higher rate
of interest than A. per cent The Lib
erty Bonds now outstanding, comprising
the first series SO per cents, the first
convertible per cents and the second
series per cents, retain the privilege Of
conversion into the new Al per cents.
The convertibility privilege, however is
to cease with the new, bonds.
Arrangements have been perfected for
a vigorous and successful campaign on
behalf of subscriptions to the new bonds
throughout the country. The Liberty
Loan committees in the different federal
reserve districts have not only preserved
their organizations since the floating of
the second series of bonds last autumn,
but have enlarged and strengthened
theEi. The force of trained bond sales
men who aided so materially in the sue
cess of the two previous war loans will
surance of securing even more favorable
results for the pending issue. 1t is un-
derstood that particular efforts will be
directed toward thoroughly canvassing
the agricultural regions of the west and
the cotton-growing states of the south,
the general financial strength of the
encourage belief tha: t'.eir participa-
tion in the subscription, if vigorously
solicited, can be obtained for a far larger
amount than in the two preceding cam
paigns 1t is, however, confidently be.
ieved that the American people ia all
parts of the land will patriotically absorb
the offering with an eagerness proper
toned to the national emergency. The
pending developments in the battle fields
of Europe and the part now being taken
by American forces in the conflicts are
indeed eminently calculated to stimulate
the interest in the loan and to incite all
elements in the population to lend aid in
this way to the great struggle for the
maintenance of the cause of liberty and
democratic government.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED
BY COUNTY !

BY COUNTY AUDITORS.
The following resolution was offered
by w. o. Nelson, County Auditor from
Yankton, and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We the County Auditors of
the State of South Dakota, on this Goth
day of March, 1918, assembled in An.
nual Conference at the State Capitol,
and
Whereas, in the performance of our
duties as County Auditors in our respec-
tive counties, we come in close contact
with the various assessors within our
state, and
Whereas, we deem the present system
of securing our annual assessments as
insu fiicient and lacking cooperation be-
cause of the absence of proper directory
authority.
Be 1t Therefore Resolved, That we
respectfully recommend and urge our
State Tax Commission and our next
regular session of the State Legislature
to secure the enactment of proper and
necessary legislation putting into effect a
County Assessor System for the State OF
South Dako ota, wherein the assessment
will be made under the direct super
vision of a County Assessor appointed
for that purpose and that in the further
ance of this much needed legislation we
approve of the recommendation of the
Tax Commission as outlined by the
South Dakota Tax Commission during
the Tax Commission Conference with
the County Auditors held in March,
