BONUS MEASURE
COMES UP AGAIN
SENATOR REED PROPOSES AN
AMENDMENT TO RAISE SPE-
CIAL FUND In TREASURY.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Another
bonus bill was launched today by
Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri,
who introduced an amendment to the
pending tax revision bill to enact the
bonus legislation which was recon-
mitted to the finance committee last
July at the request of President Har-
ding.
Senator Reeds amendment pro-
posed to raise a special fund in the
treasury department for expenses of
the bonus plan by continuing excess
profits taxes on corporations at 1921
rates.
Republican leaders characterized
the Reed amendment as political
play" and predicted the amendment
would be rejected, but Senator Reed,
who has announced he would discuss
the republican attitude on taxation
and the bonus at the Kansas City ma
tional convention of the American
Legion, promised to make hard
fight in its behalf. Republican
spokesmen declared they intended to
follow President Harding's recon-
mendation that action on the bonus
bill be delayed until the national fl
nances were in better position to bear
the expenses involved.
Senator Reed sought to call up his
amendment late today but it went
over under prior agreement to con-
slider other provisions of the tax
bill. Republican leaders said they
planned to move to table the amend
ment as soon as it was called up,
which would result in debate being
shut off.

Will Try Parcel
Post Delivery Plan

Sioux Falls, Oct. 29.-Parcel post
delivery of merchandise in the city
will be tried out next month by four
local firms, it is announced by E.
Sherwood Miller, secretary of the AS
sociated Retailers. The exact meth
DDS to be pursued will not be known
until the experiment gets under way.
Packages conforming with postal
regulations will be made up and
given to the carriers. As contemulat-
ed it would do away with the main
tanning of trucks by individual firms,
since the government would do the
delivering. The parcels would go out
with the regular parcel post delivery.
The plan originated in st. Paul,
where special equipment was added
to take care of the increased postal
business. 1t has been used with
varying success in other cities.

WILL NOW CO
AFTER THE JOBS
SEVERAL POLITICIANS BELIEVE
EXPENSE CASE DECISION WILL
LOOSEN UP AFFAIRS.

Pierre, Oct. 29-With the decision
today of the special tribunal up
holding the constitutionality of all
the laws granting expense allowances
to circuit and supreme court judges,
to constitutional officers and to mem
bers of the state legislature, 1T is ex-
pected in political circles here that
the entrants in the coming proposal
meetings will take decided boost
in number. 1t has been said that
several prospective candidates have
been withholding their decisions
pending the outcome of the so-cailed
expense suits.
In it's decision today, the special
court also upheld the right OF the
governor to receive monthly allow
ance for house rent and the right OF
the state legislature to erect guber-
material mansion. The decision also
approves the addition salaries paid
the attorney general for his. work as
a member of the state securities COM
mission. The salary of the superin-
tendent of public instruction as exc
cutive head of the state board OF edu-
cation was denied.

SOUTH DAKOTA
ALLEGED BANK ROBBER HANG.
ED IN CHICAGO.

Huron, Oct. 29.-Tommy O'Con-
nor beat Beadle county out of the
satisfaction of trial and almost GER
tain conviction for his part in the
successful holdup and robbery of the
First State bank, of Wolsey, when he
plead guilty to murder charge in
Chicago. He was hanged for the
crime in Chicago, Friday, October 81.
The bank of Wolsey was robbed in
broad day light by two men, who es-
capped in high powered motor car
with $4,000 in cash. For several
months the sheriff of Beadle county
kept continually on the trail of the
bandits, following clues until he
wound up in the Twin Cities, where
he learned that O'Connor and his
companion in the Wolsey robbery,
William A. Gallagher, had been
working in the Huron section of the
state early in May, or about the time
of the bank robbery. Gallagher is
now awaiting trial in Chicago on a
murder charge, but it is said by coun-
ty authorities that complaint has
been filed against him in Beadle
county and in the event he is ac-
quilted of the murder charge he will
be returned to Huron to answer to
the robbery charge.

are reaping somewhere around $3,-
100 additional income.
And in these days when corn is
worth only Is cents a bushel that
helps some.
As a matter of fact, dairying at
present is the only business which
commands anything like pre-war pri-
ces, and as a result the farmers are
taking it out of the hands of their
wives, who used to use the money de-
rived from butter and eggs as pin
money, and using it to cover up a
part, at least, Of their crop losses,
which have been unusually heavy the
last two years in spite of the heavy
crops.

Men Who Shoot
Ducks With Rifles

Huron, Oct. 29.-Local sports
men are up in arms over repetition
this year of practice of shooting at
ducks and geese on Lake Byron with
high powered rifles. Every year this
has been done and the lake virtually
burned out for some days following
the rifle shooting. This year hunt
ers are planning to organize them
selves il necessary, into similar
organization to the Ku Klux Klan to
put a stop to this violation of the
state game laws. 1t will be risky
business from now on for anyone who
attempts to do any shooting with the
rifle on Lake Byron as 1t is under
close watch daily.
Game Warden Saunders also stat
es that he is on the trail of the rifle
shooters and that If caught will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law. 1t is declared that the guns Of
law violators will be confiscated as
an added precaution. 80

THEFT THEORY
IS ABANDONED
NORDBY HAD PRACTICALLY NO
MONEY-SUICIDE Is HINT
ED AT.

Huron, Oct. 29.-The theory of
robbery as a motive in connection
with the death of Gust Nordby, vir-
gil farmer, who was found ten days
days ago dead in the road a mile
west of Wolsey, with the entire up
per half of his heart shot off, pre-
sumably with shot gun, has been
abandoned by county sheriff officials
engaged in attempting to trace the
slayer.
1t has been discovered that Nordby
left home the niht before he was
found dead without any money save
Ia few cents in change. 1t has also
been found that he went to Wolsey
with the intention of collecting $25,
due him fro ma man working In a
restaurant there. but that he failed In
in this attempt has been established.
The only reason that 1t has been
maintained that Nordby was murder
ed in the absence of any known
motive, is the fact that the shot
which killed him virtually tore the
entire upper half of the heart away
making a large hole where the shot
emerged from his back.
But the mysterious part of the af-
fair is the fact that the gun barrel
shows unmistakable signs of blood
smears, but it was found lying 115
feet from the dead man, and physi-
clans have declared during the course
of the investigation, that it would be
absolutely impossible for a man to
walk that distance when fatally
wounded in such a manner. Cases OF
exception vitality, where men sorely
wounded have walked several PAGES
after receiving the wound and ap-
parently dead as far as other senses
are concerned. are on record, physi-
clans declare.
This theory has been advanced to
uphold the possible fact that Nordby
committed suicide, but is almost a
certainty that it would have been i'm
possible for Nordby to have taken his
own life and then before life was
quite extinct to have walked a dis
tance of lis feet--walked with q
hole in his breast large enough to
hide mans fist.

MENT.

Huron. Oct. 29.-South Dakota
men are intensely interested in the
hearings on the wool tariff which
will be held before the senate finance
committee in Washington beginning
on Nov. / c.. j. Fawcett, director OF
the wool marketing department OF
the American Farm Bureau fedora
ton. shows the joker in the tariff
which operates in favor of the manu-
facturer in discrimination against
the wool grower, as follows:
'If a protective tariff is to be
written, why should the wool grower
be denied equal protection to that
afforded the manufacturer of our
products? Yet such has been the
case and will be again if the bill in
its present form becomes a law.
Now is the time for action, not often
it is written.
Here is the way it will apply to
our medium woods of the quarter
blood and three-eights grades, which
constitute about Sc per cent of our
production: The 25-cent per clean
pound duty would mean protection
of approximately IA and one-half
cents per grease pound, and the
manufacturers are allowed a COM
pensatory duty on their manufactur-
ed goods based on IA and one-half
cents per grease pound.
But the joker, to the wool grow
er, in the for moi the 35 per cent ad
valorem duty limitation, reduces the
protection to the wool grower to
about 5.3 cents per grease pound and
allows the manufacturer the full IA
and one-half cents per pound. We
claim this is unjust discrimination"

Finds Barrel
Of MOOnshine

Garretson, Oct. ga few days
ago when Frank Olsen was going to
the corn field, near Sherman, to pick
corn, he was surprised to find a
small barrel by the roadside. Upon
investigation he found it full of diff
ferent ingredients that are supposed
to be used in the manufacture OF
home brew or hootch. 1t was getting
pretty well brewed, too, and in a
short time would have had genuine
kick. Frank had no use for 1t, how
ever, SO he spilled the contents out.
He left the barrel, but the next morn
ing it was gone The woner has
doubtless been kicking himself for
being so careless.

Fargo, Oct. 29.-On the basis of
returns up to 8 o'clock this morning
compared with the figures of the
election last November, Fridays re-
call election should show nearly a
tie vote. With 1,043 precincts tabu-
lated, covering more than half of the
vote, Governor Frazier had 56,345
and r. A. Nestos, Independent candi-
date to succeed him. had S3,466.
Most precincts tabulated were from
eastern counties and many showed
gains of from one to four per cent
for the independents. If this gain is
maintained on the basis of 100000
vote would just about overcome the
majority of 1000 Frazier received
last November. The final result may
not be known for several days.
