AUTO MEN WILL
PAY BIG TAXES
ESTIMATED NEW LAWS WILL
NET REVENUE OF ABOUT
$2,25O,OOO ANNUALLY.

Pierre, Nov. 29.zZThe automobile
owner, within a little over year, is
going to bear the en,lre burden of
state highway improvement in South
Dakota. The general tax payers lis
going to be relieved of this expense
as the result of two laws passed by
the last session of the legislature
Ion on all gasoline used in motor
vehicles on the highways and which
goes into effect January /, next, and
the other increasing the motor We
hicle licence fee and which goes into
effect on January /, 1928.
1t was estimated by Representa-
tive T.. G. Kneeland of Custer county
father of the bill, that the gasoline
tax would yield the state $250,000
in revenue annually based on the
1920 consumption of the fuel. In
round numbers the new automobile
license law will yield $2,000,000 an
nually, making a. total Of $2,25O,-
900 with which the state can meet
federal aid in the improvement of its
highways without raising cent by
general taxation.
The theory of both laws is that the
persons who use the roads should be
the ones to pay for their building
and upkeep and when 1923 comes
the farmer and the taxpayer in gen.
eral is going to be relieved of this
cost, the only thing relating to high
ways he will be called on to meet
being the interest and sinking fund
of the highway bonds, $6,000,000 of
which were provided by the legisla-
ture have been sold up to the pres
ent time. This is very small amount
compared to what the automobile
owner will have to pay as the levy
necessary to take care of the bonds
already sold is .35 of one mill. These
are ten year bonds, which it is exv
pected to pay off within that time
Two of the main objects of the
gasoline tax were: first, to make the
man who used his car the most, pay
the most; and second to make the
automobile tourist pay something
for the roads he uses.
Largely, the same theory was
back of the new license law, the
schedule of fees being based on the
weight of the car. The law, after
January l, 1923, will increase the
automobile tax from Sc to from SIS
to $35, depending on weight, for
passenger cars, and from Sc to from
SIS to SIS on trucks and CONNER
cial cars depending on load carrying
capacity.

TEN LOST LIVES
IN 1921 FOOTBALL
VICTIMS ALL YOUNG AND FOR
THE MOST PART NOT WELL
TRAINED PLAYERS.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Football claim
ed 10 victims during the 1921 sea-
son, which closed with Thanksgiving
day games, according toreports to
the Associated Press today.
The death list was three less than
1920, and three above the toll of
two years ago. Ten lives were lost
as the result of games in 1918, IL
in 1917, Is in 1916 and Is in 1916.
AS in former years, the majority
of youths killed were members of
high school teams. The figures ap-
parently uphold the contention of
football experts that proper training
and physical condition greatly mini
mize the danger of the game. for on
ly one of the players killed was a
member of college eleven. One was
a semi-professional player, one a
member of a naval team, the re-
miander were high school or sand
lot players.
With one exception, none of the
victims was more than 20 years old.

RAIL MEN EXPECT
TRAVEL INCREASE
REMOVAL OF WAR TAX ON
SLEEPERS Will IMPROVE
MORAL OF PUBLIC.

Sioux City, Nov. 29.--Railroad Of
ficials in Sioux City are optimistic
concerning the prospects for increas-
ed travel, as result of the new rev.
enue act passed by congress had been
signed by President Harding, where
by the war tax on transportation, in
Guiding, Pullman tickets, is to be
abolished, effective January l, 1922
Official notification by railroads was
received today by M. M. Betzner
general agent for the Northwestern
railroad Other officials here said
they expected to receive. their noti-
fications within few days.
The ruling not only means an ac-
tual money saving but will bolster
the morale of the travelling public, OF
ficials asserted. High costs of ira
vel not only have decreased the ac-
tual patronage but have sci the mind
of the public against the railroads to
demoralizing degree, they say, and
while the abolishment of the s pei
cent war tax may not mean a great
deal in dollars and cents, it is the
first necessary step in order to create
optimism among travellers and en-
courage at least normal business
it is believed.
The application of this ruling will
not include the surcharges, although
officials here expect the abolishmen'
of the surtax will follow shortly. A
ticket from Sioux City to Chicago
may be purchased the first of the
year at a decrease of s1.47 on the
regular ticket and 36 cents on the
berth charges.

was the hero of an encounter with
holdup men, in which the holdup
men came out second best. He was

and was accosted by the footpads in
a dark spot near the Pettingill ce-
ment block factory. He refused to

He got bad cut in the lower lip,
where he was hit with a revolver,
but he routed his assailants. He had
nearly 500 on his person, but the
men got none of it. The highwaymen

S. D. WEATHER
VARIES MUCH
RANGES FRoF IA IN SUMMER
TO 81 BELOW IN WINTER.

Pierre, Nov. 29.-The highest an
nual mean temperature in South Da-
kota is 48.9 degrees above zero, while
the lowest annual mean temperature
is AZ degrees at Aberdeen, according
to III. T. Collman, in charge of the
government weather bureau station
here.
Strange to relate, Mr.. Collman
says, the coolest and hottest portion
of South Dakota is in the northwest
section of the state. The highest Of
ficial temperature for the state on
record was recorded at Leslie, Stan
ley county, on the Cheyenne river.
Temperatures of ia have been re-
corded at Ashcroft, in Harding coun-
ty and at Bowdle in Edmunds county.
Maximum temperatures recorded at
other stations in the state show IL
for Aberdeen 110 for Pierre and
Oelrichs; 108 for Huron and Sioux
Falls; LOT for Yankton; 106 fol-
;;sapid City and los for Spearfish.
The lowest temperature on record
Crook, Harding county. This was re-
corded during January 1915, during
which year AS was recorded at Ell
lingson, Perkins county. Prior te
this a registration of -46 had beer
recorded at Aberdeen. Low tempera'
lures recorded at other points in the
state, according to records in Mr.
Collman's office are as follows: HUI
ron, -43; Oelrichs, AZ; Sioux Falls
AZ; Pierre, 40; Rapid City "a and
Spearfish 81.
The mildest winters are found IL
the Black Hills Mountains, with
mean temperature of 25.9 for the
months of December, January an6
February at Spearfish. The coldes
winters are found in the northeas
portion of the state, with a mean ten
perature of 1875 degrees at Aberdeen
for the months fo December. Janu
ary and February. The mean temper
ature for the same months at Brook
ings is 1872; at Sioux Falls 17.2
at Yankton 1876; at Pierre 1913; a
Rap City 23.7 and at Oelrichs 22.6
1t is fact, Mr.. Collman says, tina
on the average the winters are colde
| in the eastern part of the state thai
they are in the western part. Pierr
| is Al warmer than Brookings, AM
Rapid City is "A warmer thal
Pierre.
| The temperature change fror
north to south is rather irregular, es
pecially in the western portion Q
the state, and is governed, accordin
to Mr.. Collman, largely by local tc
biography. Thus Pierre is warme
than OeIrichs, which is south of tn
Black Hills Mountains.
The hottest summers are nc
found in the region of highest ten
perature, the records show. The ho
test summers are found in the sout
central portion of the state, with
mean temperature of 1875 at Greer
wood in Charles Mix County. for tn
months of June, July and Angus
The mean temperature for the sam
summer months is 68.7 at Aberdeen

Still Exposed When
Corn Laid Flat

Alexandria, Nov. 29--A few weeks
ago prohibition enforcement officers
made a thorough search Of a farm
southeast of this city upon seemingly
authentic evidence that private still
was turning out quantities of corn
whisky. The still could not be locat-
ed, and the officers decided it had
been moved.
A short time afterwards strong
wind laid the corn stalks low. and in
the corn field of the suspected man
there was to be seen a large-sized
still. The supposed owner of the still
got busy and removed from public
view the evidence of his liquor manu-
featuring operations.
