SOUTH DAKOTA
ROAD PROGRAM
TO RAISE FUNDS FOR A HIGH
WAY BUILDING THROUGH
GASOLINE TAX.

Pierre. March 1, The road build
ing program in South Dakota will
be continued. the highway commit
tees of the two houses decided in
joint session late Saturday night. As
it was the last Sunday before ad-
journment before final plans were
drawn up at the last session, so it
was nearly the last Sunday before
Chairman Boreson of the joint COM
mittee members reconciled, with
subcommittee appointed to carry
out these ideas.
The committee cast aside bond is
sues and direct taxes, and will raise
the funds through a gasoline tax
and graduated automobile tax
which will raise the average tax on
automobiles over the state SO cents
above what it mas Desn in the past.
License rates are to be made higher
and they are TO be exempted from
other present taxes
The committee met with Cover
nor McMaster and members of the
highway commission. The first
question to come up was on whether
the federal aid of s1,700,000 a year
should be met. On motion of Hagg
of Corson this was finally agreed
upon. Then the means came up for
consideration. 1t was decided that
a graduated automobile tax, aided
I-by small gasoline tax to call for
help on the man who uses the roads
most and the man who now pays no
taxes in the state, would be best
And then the final question was the
amount of this income which was
to go to the state and which to the
county came up, as basis for fix
ing the amount of tax to be levied.
1t was decided that this division
should be 20 per cent to the state,
81 per cent to the counties, and 8
per cent to the secretary of state
for automobile license expense. A
house committee composed of Rep
resentatives Bryant of Clay, Muggli
of Lake and Hagg of Corson was
appointed to draw up a bill to carry
out the gasoline tax provision and
a committee consisting of Senators
Danforth of Minnehaha, Covey of
Tripp and Myers of McCook to fix
up the graduated auto tax, Muggli
raised the question of whether they
ought to work on Sunday. They
said they would do it on a permit
from the governor. Governor Nc
Master said he thought to make the
roads better was Christian work,
making it easier for people to go to
| church, and he would permit it.
| This plan is not effective for a
year and more. The state has funds
to meet federal aid for the coming
! two years, but to complete contracts
with the government the 1921 legis-
lature must make provision for an
income after January /, 1928. The
gasoline tax committee was instruct
ed to draw its bill to make it effec-
tive January l., 1922, and the auto
ak committee January L, 1928. II
was the estimate of Kneeland oi
Custer, author of a proposed gaso.
line tax bill, that this would brins
in $413,000 annuallq. And the
graduated auto tax must make vi
enough to meet with like amount
the $1,700,0O0 federal road aid.
| General belief was expressed by
members of the committee that the
legislature would ratify their rec
commentators along this line, with
a growing sentiment in favor of con
tinuing the present road program a.
more and more of the member
heard from home.

NO DECREASE IN
COST Of LIVING
CONF ERS CLAIMS
With Profiteering Unchecked
1t Is Going Up, Especially
Rents; Unemployment Is
{ Serious Problem.
fnx The Assoclatsd Press

Atlantic City, N, j., Aug. 22.-
The present unemployment situa-
ton is an economic crime" that
Is resulting in a loss of $27,500,-
900 a day in wages to the workers
Of the country, President Samuel
Gompers declared tonight, follow
ing session OF the executive coun-
ell of the American Federation of
Labor, at which present unemploy-
ment conditions were discussed.
Wage reductions will not relieve
the situation, the veteran labor
chief said, adding that such action
will further curtail our domestic
purchasing power, and more fac-
tories will close because the people
haven't the money to buy their
products.
THE present depression" he
added, will become even more
acute and the reductions II they
can be forced upon us, will not
only prove a boomerang to the en-
pioyer but a menace to our econ
omic, financial and political struc-
lures,
"In all this talk about readjust-
ment and reconstruction, why Is it
that the pressure 10 always brought
upon those whose standards Of life
and every day existence would be
demoralized and deteriorated by a
reduction in wages, and why this
drive to reduce their wages first?
The rank and file cannot under
stand how readjustment and re-
construction can mean only reduce
ton of their wages.
az have been asked who, among
the capitalists, has suggested re-
duction in the rate Of interest on
o. loan or reduction of profits, or
even a simultaneous reduction of
wages and profits.
"The cost of living has not come
down. Instead, with profiteering
unchecked and unrestrained, 1t Is
going up, especially rents. Ninety
per cent of the homes in the Unit
ed States were built before the war
but the exorbitant rents gouged
out of the tenants by the profiteer-
ing and inscriptions landlords Is
blamed on the high cost OF labor
during the war"
The council had before It a pro-
posal to call upon congress to take
steps to relieve the present unem-
ployment situation by legislation
and by making appropriations that
would aid in speeding up public
work. Action on this will be taken
later this week.

ASKED BY HATCH
FOR FLOOD ND
Feel That the Community
Has a RightfuI Claim
Against the United States
Reclamation Service.


Las Cruces, N. NJ, Aug. ga
When Secretary Fall comes to Las
Cruces early in September, the de-
partment of the interior will be
asked for an appropriation of $751;
600 for damages sustained by the
people of Hatch in the flood which
damaged the village last Thursday
morning. Patrick j. Campbell
president of the Bank of Hatch;
r. L. Hallowell, mill owner and
Thomas Marion, farmer. who had
a conference with directors OF Las
Cruces Chamber of Commerce
this afternoon, feel that the COM
munity has a rightful claim against
the United States reclamation
service.
1.-THE flood disaster" Mr.. Camp
bell said, was caused by the work
Of the reclamation service but We
have no idea of bringing suit or
in any way causing any friction.
All we want is enough to put us
back on our feet. Seventy-fiye
thousand dollars, part of which IS
for the farmers in the district, will
not cover half Of our losses"
C. r. Knight, president Of the
chamber of commerce, delegated
the legislative committee, headed
by Herbert B. Holt, to work with
the people of Hatch in preparing a
list of the flood sufferers and the
damages sustained. He also APP
pointed a special committee headed
by George NJ. Clark to prepare
the facts in the case for presen-
tation to the Elephant Butte irri-
CATION district, OF when II. 8.
Brook of Las Cruces is president,
for endorsement to the department
Of the interior. The last named
committee will meet with Mr..

There were no long speeches to-

Of course, Mr.. de Valera or other

of the members said tonight. He
added that thus far, the deputies

curiosity concerning the terms OF

members of the cabinet had been
called upon for explanations from
all parts of the of the round room
of Mansion House, where the ses-
sions Of the parliament are being
held.

from somebody in Chicago, whose

High Class Republican Leadership

was eminently successful. The re-
publican leaders unquestionably
put the president in a hole" as
Mr.. Fordney boasts. They also put
the country in a hole, and finally
managed to put themselves in a
hole. What is going on in Wash
ington now is in the nature of a
desperate attempt on the part of
the republican leaders to pull a
republican administration out of
the hole dug for Mr.. Wilson.
Nearly ten months have elapsed
since the unprecedented republic
can victory of 1920, and the re-
publican leaders are still fumbling
with peace, with taxation and with
retrenchment. When the election
was held, there were perhaps
I 900, 600 men out of work, There
are now, according to the figures
of the secretary of labor, nearly
5000, 900 men out of work. Every
month since Mr.. Harding swept
the country economic conditions
have grown worse, unemployment
has increased, foreign trade has
diminished and domestic business
has dwindled. Only the federal re-
serve banking bill, which Presi-
dent Wilson forced through be-
fore there were enough republic
cans in congress to put him in o
hole, has saved the country from
the most destructive panic of all
history.
No other republican policy has
ever been so completely successful
as that Of putting Mr.. Wilson in a
hole. Now that everybody is in a
hole, including the republican
leaders themselves and all who
voted the republican party into
power.--Adv.

HARDING BONUS SPEECH
STARTS A HEATED

It. 1t was because he came here
that we surrendered our judgment
to his dictation.
"The republican party had made
solemn pledge for enactment OF
bonus legislation. There was not
an item in the presidents message
that was not before us. We lad
made the bill the unfinished BUSH
ness and had given the assurance
It would be pushed and passed. 1t
would have passed IL 1t had been
put to a vote.
"While / think the president was
right on his attitude on the bonus,
the moment he left this chamber
the bill was as dead as Julius
Caesar. Now what becomes OF the
greatest legislative body In the
world?"
Republicans, Chided.
Senator New. republican. lndl-
ana, suggested that the presidents
speech had given senator's courage
to change their position and Mr.
Knox said he took credit to MIN.
self when his views were changed
by the superior argument OF an
other.
Later in the argument Senator
Stanley, democrat, Kentucky,
chided the republicans for the
squabbIe" and added:
"You on that side are to be con-
graduated. There was a time
when you could not say too much
or too i'll about President Wilson.
Now you make him the standard
by which to Judge the present oc-
cupant of the White House"

THE REVIVAL Of
INDIAN TRIBAL
DANCES OPPOSED
tBy Tho Associated Press,

Okreek, S. D., Aug. 22.--The
convocation of Sioux Indians in
session here for the past three days
under the auspices of the Episco-
pal church, went on record as OPP
posed to the revival of dancing
among their tribes people.
Following the pow-wow OF Sat
urday, at which the matter was
threshed out and committee ap.
pointed to recommend a course OF
action, tho following report in the
shape OF a memorial to Right Rev.
Hugh L. .Burleson, Episcopal bish-
op Of the state. was presented TO
the conyocation:
1--WE, the undersigned, members
Of the Episcopal church. represent
ing the convocation of Niobrara
Deanery, realizing the necessity for
progress and industry, and the
moral interest OF the Indian people,
would respectfully represent that
the revival of Indian customs as
now in existence among the In
dians is injurious and in many in
stances leads to immortality and the
disobedience of the laws OF the
country. and we would further
pray that the commissioners OF In
dian affairs. together with the SUI
perintendents among the Sioux In
dams, consider the matter and eS-
tend to our people wise counsel and
advice as will lead our people to
think more of the future than the
past and that Indian dances upon
the reservations, If permitted at all,
be confined to those who are 80
years of age and upwards"
This memorial. which was signed
by James Wright, of the Rosebud
agency; Thomas Arrow. OF the
Yanktons; Patrick Shiels, Stand
ing Rock. and Dominick LongbroW,
was embodied in a resolution,
which the convocation adopted. It
is the work OF the Indians them-
selves, the church having as yet
taken no stand with reference TO
the question Of dancing, pending
the result Of an investigation
which Bishop Burleson is con-
Quoting.
The convocation came to- an end
Sunday with a discussion OF the
work OF the Episcopal Missionary
society, which celebrated its CEN
tennial anniversary and the ordi-
nation of Andrew Whiteface. a ma
tive Sioux brave. as a priest Of the
church.

II voted to put the president IN

The speaker was Joseph w.
Fordney. chairman Of the house
committee on ways and means
who had opened the debate on the
administration revenue bill by
attacking Mr.. Wilson for having
taken over the railroads during
the war. Mr.. Fordney, as a repub-

had voted for this measure. Asked
to explain the seeming inconsisten-
cy, he replied: II voted to put the
president in a hole, and we did"
The railroads were taken over
by the government in the critical
period of the war. when the break
down of transportation had imper-
filed the issue of that great con-
flict. Mr.. Fordney voted for 1t,
not to help win the war, not to aid
the United States and the nations
associated with 1t in the war
against German Imperialism, but
ito put the president in a hole"
Mr.. Fordney has spoken with
exceptional frankness, but his con-
fession will bring a shock only to
creduIous persons who deluded
themselves into believing that re-
publican leadership in congress
during the war ever had a
higher motive than malignant OPP
position to President Wilson. Hav-

they pursued the the same policy
