A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and

derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking n small strand at q

will be light, fluffy and wavy. and have
an appearance of abundance; an in

rance.
Get a small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for q few cents at any drug

that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely al have beautiful hair and lots

NEW TAX SYSTEM
TO PROVIDE FUNDS
Measures Adopted By S. Dako-
ia Legislature Makes Bur
den Lighter In Some Places
and Heavier In Others.

Mitchell, S. D., March 29.-The new
state tax measure, which eXenpts from
taxation $500 OF every house, provided
the owner occupies IL, and further en-
empts $500 worth of household goods,
machinery, tools, etc, will not create
the deficit at first expected by those
who Were not entirely familiar with the
other bills fathered by the state tax
commission and passed by the recent
legislature. The tax exemptions bill
would, on its face. create u state wild
deficit of approximately 8 per cent. Re-
alizing this. the state tax commission
worked out three means of meeting this
deficit. which would run into hundreds
of thousands of dollars throughout the
state.
The first method is n determination
to assess land on the basis OF their full
value. This has never been done in
South Dakota. For instance. Dawson
county land. really worth about 800
an acre, has been assessed in the past
on a valuation basis of approximately
$66.11. Placing farm land On its real
value. taxes derived from his source
would he greatly Increased.
The second method is the placing Of
n 3-miM tax on moneys and credits. In
AhS PoSS IloIASSS 1Iiu CIcuiIo la
yielded a tax Of 3A per cent. Last
year the total n and credits re-
turns from the entire state was only q
trifle more than 50, 900 900. There are
many cities in the state which should
yield considerably more than that. 1t
is believed. It is pointed out that the
new 3-mill tax is SO small that practic-
ally all the moneys and credits in the
state will be returned. n result in
greatly augmented taxes
The third plan, known as the mort
gage registry tax. is expected to go far
toward making up a large part of h
8 per cent deficit. This bill, which
passed he legislature only after a BIT
ter fight, provides for the payment Of
a tax of 10 cents per 500 on every
mortgage of a yea that is recorded;
20 cents per 500 on every mortgage
that runs for two years and 80 on up
to so cents per 500 for every mortgage
running for five years or more. In
Dawson county alone, had that law
been in effect this spring. the county
would have derived ST. 700 from mort
gage registry tax.
A member Of the state tax commits.
sion will come to Mitchell. April %, to
meet the tax assessors and members Of
the boards OF equalization to explain the
workings. II the new tax measures.
Similar meetings will be held through
out the state.
