Kill Hogs Before
They Steal Them

Watertown, Dec. Thieves got
away with over 600 pounds of pork
at the A. ID. Brandt farm on the
Kranzburg road little distance east
of Watertown last night when they
entered Mr.. Brandt's hog yard, kill
ed two of the animals and carried
them off without rousing any mem
bers of the family. The theft was
not discovered until this morning.
Evidently fearing the pigs might
object too noisily to being kidnapped
the thieves butchered them on the
spot. This was revealed in examina-
tion of the place this morning. Mr..
Brandt also found the place near
Willow creek where the animals had
been cleaned.
No clues to the identity OF the
thieves had been reported this after
noon.
One of the hogs was a valuable
brood SOW and the other smaller
animal.

To SHOW WHERE
MONEY IS SPENT
GOV. McMASTER PREPARING TO
ILLUSTRATE WHAT TAXES
ARE USES FOR.

Pierre, Dec. Everybody now
knows that taxation is going to be
the big issue of the coming campaign
Everyone is talking tax, thinking
tax and especially "'cussing" tax
throughout the state No matter,
where his mind has been in the past,
the politician of any party now has
his thoughts centered ontaxes.
Much has been said in the press
recently showing just where taxes
are going and in order to give the
people of the state a graphic illus
tration of where the dollar of the tax
payers money is going, Gov. w. H.
McMaster is preparing to have cuts
made to represent dollar and show
ing by segments of the circle the
number of cents of the tax dollar
which goes to the state, to the county.
to the school district and to the
municipality. The picture" will look
something like a whole pie cut into
various sized pieces and the people
OF the state will be able to look at II
and tell what political division is
getting the largest piece of the pie.
While the complete data is not be-
ing given out at this time it is GER
tain that school districts will gener-
ally get the largest piece, except in
cities and towns, which get very
large shares. Counties also draw a
rood sized piece.
Comparison will also be made with
neighboring states.

SEIZED UNDER
LOTTERY LA "
FORD SEDANS WON AT SIOUX
FALLS CHURCH BAZAARs.

Sioux Falls, Dec. Charging
that the sale of the Ford sedans, one
last month at the Catholic bazaar
and the other last week at the Shrine
barn dance, were lotteries under the
state law, States Attorney L. E.
Waggoner today commenced replevin
proceedings to recover the two auto
mobiles. They were seized by the
sheriff from Nels Rhomberg who
held the lucky number at the Cath
olic bazaar, and Mrs. G. F. Culver
who was similarly the winner at the
Ell Riad festivities last week. The
case will be sued out in the January
term of the circuit court, the states
attorney contending that under the
law the automobiles become the prop
erty of the state and the money from
a sale of them be turned into the
state school fund
The action today came as a result
of the activity of Attorney General
Byron s. Payne which commenced
November / s when he defined lotter-
Acc III q PuDAi1 plCl0thoh Va thS
law. His ruling then was on a quar-
ter section of land given as a prize
at dance at Brookings and in reply
to the inquiry of States Attorney
Trygstad of that county.
That the chance on the automobile
is of the same nature, and Strictly
against the law. is the opinion OF
States Attorney Wagonner. He quot
es the statement of States Attorney
Trygstad that this law was made ito
curb the gambling instincts OF the
people" and that 1t should be obeyed
for the good of society. Lotteries. he
maintaines even thought of a social
or charitable nature, encourage the
public to carry them on for purely
gambling purpose.

HARDING PLANS
BUSINESS MESSAGE
WILL PROBABLY ADDRESS CON.
CLAIMS OF ACHIEVEMENT.

Washington, Dec. president
Harding will deliver business mes
sage" to congress when its meets fol-
the regular session next week.
The message will be devoted fo1
the most part to outlining the ad-
ministration's efforts to put the gov
ernment on business basis, and tC
legislation designed to speed up the
return to normally.
This was his big campaign pledge
on the democratic side of affairs and
he is anxious to seize this opportun-
ity to show the country that it is
being carried out.
One section of the message, it is
learned, will be devoted entirely to
discussion of the estimated econom-
les achieved by the new budget bu-
reau.
1t will be delivered to congress
next Tuesday, probably in person.
An earnest appeal to rush the per-
manent tariff bill to completion will
be included.
While the president is known to
be dissatified with the tax bill just
passed, he does not contemplate ask
ing for new tax legislation at once
feeling that business should not be
held in further uncertainty.
Congress will be asked to amend
the Jones merchant marine act by
striking out the provision directing
the president to abrogate commercial
treaties which forbid the imposition
of discriminatory joint land and wa.
ter rates.
Whether a recommendation in be.
half of the bonus will be included Is
still undetermined, but PresidenI
Harding is seriously considering it.

CONF FERENCE IS
WORKING SMOOTHLY
EASTERN QUESTIONS APPEAR TO
BE REACHING SATISFACTORY
CONCLUSIONS.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The arms
and far eastern conferences today
had reached two cruical points-ad-
justment of divergent views of Amer
lea and Japan on naval ratio and of
China and Japan on return of Shan
tung to China. Both far eastern and
occidental sources predicted a salts
factory outcome shortly. Britain
standing with America was deemed
likely to sway Japan if other consid-
erations did not cause her to aband-
on her 70 per cent ratio demand. The
Shantung adjustment was deemed
foregone. Meantime French naval ex-
perts have worked out plan which
would keep their navy out of the ra-
tio assignment.

Increase License
Fee For Drays

Aberdeen. Dec. IAN increase in
the license fee for drays was asked
of the city commission by local dray
and transfer men. An increase of $50
Is asked, making the license 500.
The reason given. by these men Is
that there are a few men who work
at the dray business during the win
ter months and then leave during the
summer. They pointed out the fact
that If the license fee was higher the
regular firms would be able to stand
the competition without increasing
the cost and the "come and go" men
would be forced out. The matter was
taken under advisement.

MUNICIPAL THEATERS
FAVORED BY EDUCATOR

NEW HAVEN, Many 1o.-Establish-
ment OF municipal theaters to stimu-
late the intellectual life of cam
munity and to serve as an aid in the
classical education of college stu
dents. has been advocated by Prof.
William Lyon Phelps. of Yale Univer-
sity.
Many plays which would make the
people acquainted with the spirit and
thought OF the ancient and middle
age periods are being cast on the
roadside by privately owned theaters.
Professor Phelps believes, because
they can't afford to risk the expert
ment.
an privately owned theaters the
managers are quite nsturall" 'o6'-'-~
for conventionally successful plays
that will have long run and will
yield q steady profit.
But a municipal. Independent or
little theater Is able to produce i'm
portant plays that for some reason or
other cannot hope to have a long
run. and yet are worth seeing. Fur
thermore, a municipal theater en-
cages the interest and support of
the town and Is educational, like the
schools. libraries and churches.
