N 0T0R VEHICLE
LAW PLAYS SOME
SARDONlC PRANKS
Owner of High Priced Car Gets
All the Best of It at Expense
of the Fordites.

The last legislative assembly passed
law changing the method Of regis
tcring of automobiles, placing mini
mum registration fee of Sc for new
cars Of 20 horse power or less and
50 cents extra for each additional
horse power. S.. ..
This law was evidently intended to
produce greater revenue and to have
the more expensive cars pay tax in
proportion to their greater value and
power, but the fact that it will not do
so in all cases, and in many instances
has the opposite effect, is becoming
apparent now that car owners are or
dering their 1918 license tags.
For instance, we have 32-horse
Hupmobile and 15.horse Saxon both
three years old When new the
former cost $1,000 and the latter $685..
and yet each is taxed Sc by reason Of
the fact that the law rates the power
solely by the bore and the number OF
cylinders. These particular cars, how
ever, pay only half this sum because
they have been licensed for three sue
cessive years. ..,.--..a..,.s..
Again, there is a 4S-horse Hupmo-
bile, list price $685., and 2O-horse
Ford, the list price Of which is $340.
These are taxed 81 each because each
has four cylinders of 81 inch bore and
is rated at % horse power.
The new law provides that all funds
derived from the registration of mo-
tor vehicles shall go into the road
fund and "shall be in lieu of all taxes,

THE TANNING OF THE sioux
(The Tanning of the Sioux. BY Frank
Fiske, bismarck North Dakota; Bis
marck Tribune.)
"This story begins with the expedi-
ton Of Lewis and Clark meeting the
Yankton Sioux in 1904, and relates the
chief events in the life of this people
until the present time when they are
practically on the same footing as
the progressive white man" How
great the change which has come to
these people in little over q century
may be grasped from the reading of
the chapter on early.day. costumes,
and then reminding ones self that not
a few Sioux Indians today ride in au-
tomobiles and carry matches, It being
hard to find an Indian who knows
how to make fire in the old-time
way"
From the time Lewis and Clark
first met the Sioux until the United
States government removed the civil.
Ian Indian agents, and put army Off
GERS in charge, the story is one Of mis-.
trust on both sides, and almost contin-,
nous fighting. AS we look back over
the history as recorded in this vol
.ume we can see how much suffering
and how many deaths might have
been prevented had it been possible
for each side to understand the other
better. These fighting days, however,
reveal much nobility in both white
and red men, and they are full Of ro-
nance. The famous battle Of the Lit
tie Big Horn, in which Clusters com.
mand was annihilated by the Sioux
under Sitting Bull, is Of intense inter.
est. The author endeavors to be fair.

be seen that the $1,3S5 car which pays
only 81 more registration fee than it
did under the former law, saves the

ing based on one-fourth valuation and

Des Moines, June 12.-Many coun-
try school houses will have to close
for lack Of teachers and the pupils
must go to schools in adjoining dis
tricts. This is the statement of Frank
y. Joseph, deputy superintendent oi
public instru.tnon, who Is in touci
with conditions.
The smaller towns are also in need
of teachers bat the larger towns an,
cities have full supply. There are
no men teachers except in the largei
towns and cities.
Thus many small rural districts
which have either opposed school COLI
solicitation or have been Indifferent tt
it find themselves without school IA
cilities for their children except at
considerable distance away and In
another school district where schoo
tuition must be paid. This condition
is looked upon as being favorable To
bringing about more consultations of
country schools, which districts can
afford not only to pay good wages To
teachers but to employ sufficien'
number of teachers so that no one Oh
them will have to perform an INDUS
amount of work.
This condition, it is thought, VIII
help to bring about a change in the
con solidated rural school law, Whicn
is so hedged about by the law passed
by the Thirty-seventh general assem-
bly, that it is slow, tedious and ex-
pensive process now to consolidate
rural schools
Til wages being offered in the ordl-
nary rural school districts for teach-
ers are s51 to s7o per month ana IN
the larger towns and cities SO to
500 per month. The worl; is OF course
for only nine months out Of the year
so that both women as we'll as men
are inclined to turn t. some other
work. especially now when the de-
nlands are 80 numerous and varied.
