THEFT OF AUTOS \
IN LARGE CITIES
WORSE THAN EVER

st. Louis, Mo.-There were 81
349 automobiles stolen in IS OF the
larger cities Of the United States
in 1919 as compared with 25,613 in
the same cities the previous year,
according to figures compiled by
the National Automobile Dealers
association and made public today
at the associations headquarters
here. This is an increase of 22.S
per cent.
Belief was expressed, however,
that 1920 would show a material
reduction in the number Of stolen
machines because of the Dyer law
which makes interstate transporta-
ton of stolen machines federal
offense.
OF the 31,349 cars stolen in 1918,
1882 or 74.4 per cent were recov-
cred. Caps not recovered were val
ued at approximately sS,65S.360.
New York again leads the cities
in cars stolen with 5.527 in 1913
against 3,340 in 1918. st. Louis
was the only large city where the
number was less than in 1919. This
is accounted for by the fact that
severe penalties have been assess
ed in automobile theft cases here
as high as 20 years in the peniten-
tiary being given in some instances
for the theft of single car.

for space. have perked up their
ears at the announcement by a
New York realty syndicate that it
will build a $45O,000A apartment
house, whose distinguishing feature
will be disappearing beds" OFF,
Gals OF the syndicate are silent as
to what form the disappearing
beds" will take during the day
time. They dismiss the matter by
saying that disappearing beds and
many other labor saving devices
will be installed"
Architects, however, have given
their opinion on the proposed in
novation.
The beauty Of disappearing
BEDS" the architects say, is that
the bed cannot disappear while the
occupant is lying in it on his back,
with his knees up and his mouth
open. This was the chief draw
back to the old-fashioned folding
bed. The architects made this
statement to quiet the fears. OF
many New York residents who had
inquired as to whether the "disap-
pearing beds were similar to the
old-fashioned folding bed. or con-
tanned any Of the latter's cranky
and uncertain tendencies.

appearing beds" the syndicate an.
nounces, is to be built on West End

Marsh Of Iowa, treasurer, and W. D.
Jameson, also Of lows, director of
finance, organized . regular finan-
cial factory which did nothing but
write chain letters asking for small
subscriptions. Five mem would be
asked to give small sums, for In
stance, and each requested to send
in the names OF i've other persons
who might be interested in contrib
uting equal amounts. In that way
the Democrats have acquired a
mailing list of 10000 names. They
collected in this way nearly $1,000
900 dollars in the two years follow
ing the last presidential election,
and they consider the advantages
tw0-fold. First, the money comes
from SO many contributors that
there is NO chance for any individ-
ual to have a disproportionate hold
on the successful candidate when
he takes Office, and, second, the
increased number of subscribers
means an almost equivalent number

day.
Can't Afford to Pay Workers.
The Republicans have mistakenly
educated organizers in some Of the
populous states to pay their work.
ers and it is difficult to switch from
a paid to a volunteer basis. In a
few places where the Democratic
state organizations have acquired
a powerful influence the same sys-
tenn of paying workers obtains, but
generally speaking neither political
party could afford to buy the serv-
ices Of many workers on election
day without subjecting themselves
to embarrassments.
May Have to Change Policy.
So there are Republicans who
wish their party had adopted the
policy of asking for small subscrip-
tons and at the same time had
/ placed no limit Of $1,000 For the
Democrats get both the small and
the large subscriptions. In some
quarters here it is predicted that
by the time October arrives the
Republicans will have to confess
that the $1,000 limit isn't getting
results and that a general appeal
for funds of any size. large or
small, with the right to reject con-
tributions from sources not consid-
cred disinterested will have to be
made.
Will Spend Millions.
OF course, federal laws are very
| weak with respect to campaign
finances and there are plenty Of
ways of certifying that only S.
100000 has been spent by nation
al party when a total Of five and
six times that sum may have beer
expended by state committees who
do not have to make their contri-
| buttons public or even certify tt
/ them. 1t is fair estimate that the
national campaign committees o
the Democrats and the Republi
cans. respectively. will run up bills
of at least S6.000,000 each before
they get through with the present

THE HOOP POLE TOWN

Kickapoo, the southeast town in the
county on the winding old river that
forms junction within its borders, in
the old days was known as the "Hoop-
pole Town, because of the great guam
titles of poles, ties and logs put on
the market. In fact that was largely
the extent of its product to sustain
life. Presto, what a changed With
its splendid soil, its fine grasses and
pure sparkling waters kickapoo has
been transformed into a wonderful
dairy belt, with herds of good pure
bred cattle and hogs. More sheep
should be maintained. Nothing better
tells of the prosperity of this town
than the tax list. Treasurer George
Thompson furnishes us with that ex-
hibit, from which we find there are so
persons who pay between 500 and
5000; % between $500 and $500; s
between $500 and $500, above $500,
John Flannaganthe largest at $500 81 |;
Ole H. Larson and VIM. Crook close
after him with $559.15 and $545.66,
respectively. The increase in tax
levy this year is $S,354.42. going from
100000 last year, to $2S,054.42 now.
