State Lodge Will
Be Rebuilt

Rapid City Journal:-While te
date no definite plans have beei
announced by the state game ant
fish department at Pierre, RELATIVE
to the exact plans which will be
carried out in the reconstruction
of the State Lodge" the large
tourist hotel erected in the State
Game Park, which was completely
destroyed by fire on the morning
of October 10Th, it is the under
standing that the department has
decided to replace the burned str
ucture and is thinking seriously
of following along the same line:
of structure as the original lodge
with possibly few minor changes
which experience has shown to be
desirable, using the same site
The destroyed lodge was complet
ed only last spring at the cost OF
$4,000 and was visited by thous.
ands of tourists during the season
who declared it one of the mos
inviting summer hotels in the We
st.
AS in the case of the old build
ing, native lumber and cobble ST
ones will be used entirely and it
is expected to prepare this during
the present winter in order that
construction may be begun in the
spring.
State Game Warden Hedrick, a
few days after the fire returned
to Pierre and since has been wo-
rking on the plans to be carried
out in the construction. Several
meetings Of the game department
have been held concerning the ST
ate Lodge.
Seven carpenters arrived at Fa
irburn the first of the week anC
were taken to the state camp by
Game Keeper Gideon. The mer
will do some building at the camI
among which will be a cottage
for Mr.. Gideon and his family
who have been living in tcn1
since the fire.

reason for the railroad doing tn

year, is going to bear the entire
3urden of state highway improve
nent in South Dakota. The gen
;ral taxpayer is going to be relicv
ID of this expense as the result OF
,wo laws passed by the last sess-
on Of the legislature-one putt
lg tax of one cent per gallon
4 all gasoline used in motor We
icles on the highways and which
oes into effect January lst, next,
nd the other increasing the mo-
or vehicle fee and which goes in
D effect Jan. lst 1923.
1t was estimated by Represent
ltive Z. G. Kneeland, OF Custer
county, father of the bill, that the
gasoline tax would yield the state
10000 in revenue annually, bas-
d on the 1920 consumption of fu-
|. In round numbers the new
automobile license law Will yield
100000 annually, making a total
# $2,250,00O with which the state
an meet federal aid in the impr-
,vment Of its highways without
aising cent by general taxation.
The theory Of both laws is that
che persons who use the roads sh-
)uld be the ones to pay for their
building and upkeep, and when
922 comes the farmer and the
axpayer in general are going to
oe relieved of this cost, the only
hing relative to highway they
will be called on to meet, being
ne interest and sinking fund of
he highway bonds, S6,O00,O0O of
which were provided by the legis-
aturc that created the highway
commission, of which S5,OO0,0O0
lave been, sold up to the present
ime. This is a very small am
)unt compared to what the auto
mobile owner will have to pay. as
ne levy necessary to take care of
he bonds already sold, is 30 of |
mill. These are ten-year bonds,
which it is expected to pay off
within that time.
Two Of the main objects of the
gasoline tax were, first, to make
the men who uses his car the mo-
st pay the most; and, second, to
make the automobile tourist pay
something for the road he uses.
Largely the same theory was ba
ck of the new license law. the sch
edule of fees being based on the
weight of the car. The law, aft.
er Jan. l. 1928, will increase the
automobile tax from Sc to from
$13 to $35, depending on weight
for passenger cars, and from $6 to
from SIS to $75 on trucks and co.
mmercial cars, depending on load
carrying capacity.
