DOLLAR DAY DOPE
FROM CREENVILLE

Greenvlle, July pa Dollar
Da- such as has never been seen be-
fore is scheduled for Greenville to-
morrow, and on that occasion the
good old dollar bill will be worth one
hundred cents and then some!
Greenville merchants, acting
through the retail bureau of the
Chamber Of Commerce, have agreed
to offer values unknown to this city
or any other in the country since
prices first began to mount back in
1914, and they promise that thrifty
housewives and saving husbands will
find that the dollar has certainly
come back into. it's own.
Leaders in the movement yester-
day said THAT bargains are by no
means unknown to Greenville but
they feel confident the residents of
this city and section will agree with
them when they say that bargains
such as will be obtainable tomorrow
are the best yet offered, and that
the opportunity is one which should
not be allowed to pass.
In order to attract large crowds
here from all sections Of the county
and from adjoining counties, the bu-
reau leaders have waged a sys-
te1na&ic' advertising campaign COW
ering a wide territory, and prepara-
tions are being made in all the
stores to handle big crowds.
In every mercantile establishment
in the city, from the biggest depart
ment store to the smallest fruit
stand, it is planned to offer special
dollar bargains, each bargain being
an article or group of articles valued
at more than a dollar-sometimes at
twice as much, and over-but sell
ing at one dollar each.
If the eagle has ever failed to
screech audibly before, she will
make up for omissions Of the past
by her screams tomorrow.
Tonight, the pockets of many
Friend Husbands will be thoroughly
rihed, and tomorrow morning bright
and early, Madam Housewife will
hurry to town to buy for dollar
articles that, even back in the good
old days, would have cost her two or
more. i
The stock of goods from which
the baragins are offered, officials Of
the bureau state, are new and Of the
best quality. - !
Not content with giving rare bar
gains members of the retail bureau
have arranged for the serving on
every block of free lemonade
through virtually the entire day.
That the Dollar Day should be of
benefit to the community at large
was the opinion expressed last night,
since thousands of dollars which
otherwise might not be spent for
some time to come will be put into
circulation. Buyers will be enabled
to purchase at money-saving price css
needs which must be met and mer-
chants will be enabled to meet bills
coming due, thus proving a stimulus
to business generally and an eco
nonic blessing to the city and Sec
tion.

S. D. Road Program,
Much Bufeted, May
Finally Pull Through

Pierre. s. D.. March 1.-The ad-
ministration road program which has
been buneted by every wind and
pounded upon the legislative rocks
. ray Of hope by the joint highway
committee Saturday night and it is
expected a lifeline will be thrown out
in both houses by the Introduction OF
bills, a privilege gasoline tax bill in
the house and a single al bill in the
senate.
The committee finally agreed to
meet federal aid. a feature which
Governor McMaster has fought for
accumulation of a road fund within
the next two years. amounting to
approximately $4,000, 600.
The joint committee determined
upon a gasoline tax Of one cent a gal
Ion and appointed a subcommittee
composed Of house members to draft
such a bill. Or to amend the bill al
ready introduced by Representative
kneeland.
The TAX. it was decided, should be
collected al the point of entrance into
the state, and paid by the wholesaler
direct to the state treasurer. It vas
also decided that the tax should be
levied only on gasoline used in auto
mobiles upon h highways of the
state.
To accomplish this purpose. com
mittee members declare. it will be
necessary to embody in the bill a pro-
vision that when gasoline is purchased
and used in stationary engines, trac-
tors or for cleaning purposes, the pur-
chaser can secure a tax refund by
filing with the state treasurer a sworn
affidavit giving the amount purchased
and the use made Of it. Whenever
an individual purchases gasoline for
other than automobile use, he must
sign a supplicate voucher specifying
the use to which it is to be put. These
vouchers must accompany the appli-
cation for tax refund.
BY this tax the committee hopes to
raise in the neighborhood of $425. 600
annually. The bill will provide that
The tax will not become effective until
January /, 1922.
A subcommittee composed of SEN
ate members was also appointed : ITO
prepare a single tax bill. or to amend
the bill already introduced in the up
per house. This Measure will have
ss its object the raising Of sufficient
funds. 20 per cent OF which when adj
ded to the gasoline tax will meet fed
eral aid. The committee decided that
70 per cent of the single tax should
go to h state highway fund, three
per cent to the secretary of state for
the expense connected with the lie
ense plates and 81 per cent to the
county in which the car belongs. The
committee recommended that the
single tax be not effective until Janu-
airy 1, 1929.
