Yankton, July IL. - Declaring
this reconstruction period call for
the strictest economy and the elm
ination of all except absolutely nee
essary expenditures, both individ
ual and public" nearly 500 farmer
taxpayers of Yankton county assem-
bled in mass meeting before the
board of county commissioners in
the court house here and requested
the board "to Immediately dispense
with all road and bridge work not
already contracted for Except road
dragging and emergency work. rnd
reduce by at least SO per cent the
road and bridge levy for the ensu-
ing year" The petition was signed
by about 130 farmers. 1t had been
framed at a mass meeting held on
the evening of July l in a rural
school house north of Mission Hill.
Assurance was given. the farmers
by the commissioners that retrench-
ment plans had already been made.
and that il was the aim of the COM
mission to reduce the tax burden at
least 80 to 40 per cent, more IL possi-
BILE, for 1921. 1t was pointed out
however, that public safety necessi-
tates the continuance of some road

that it will be necessary for the COM
mission to use its discretion in de-
termining just what shall be classed
as emergency work.

ASKED TO REDUCE
FREIGHT RATES
CONGRESSMAN CHRISTOP HI e r..
son CALLS ON COMMISSION
TO ACT.

Washington, ID. c., July 11.-Con-
gresham c. A. Christopherson, of
the First District, South Dakota, has
introduced in the house a resolution
setting forth the present low prices
of agricultural products and the
present high freight rates, and call
ing on the Interstate Commerce
Commission, in view of the reduction
in operating expenses granted the
railroads by the labor board, to or
der new and lower freight rates to
shippers.
Being asked as to the purport of
his resolution, Congressman Chris
topherson explained that the condi-
tions in his state were serious in that
during the past year the prices OF
farm products had dropped to an un-
usually low level and railroad rates
were so high that 1t sometimes took
nearly the full value of the farmer 6
product to transport the same to
market. He said it was not only the
fected by the high freight rates but
that they entered into the cost of all
articles, and especially entered into
the present high cost of coal. Since
the railroad labor board granted the
railroads a substantial reduction in
operating expenses, which reduction
went into effect on July 1, the con-
gresham felt that the interstate
Commerce Commission should pass
this on and give the shipper some
of the benefit from it, by reducing
rates without delay. He stated II
was his intention to make every eff,
fort to get early consideration of the
resolution in the hope that a new
schedule of rates might be promul-
gated In time to benefit the shippers

They arrested him, and they say, he
made a full confession without ar
guing about it at all.
He told, they say, of making four
trips to his brothers farm in Mime
sofa, where his brother had a still in
full operation, and purchasing moon
shine at $40 a gallon, which he
brought back here in Hudson super
six sedan. Here, his confession stated
he sold the whisky for $5 and $40 a
quart-whatever he could get--and
believe 1t or not. he had a hard time
finding market for it.

practically 100000.
This does not come up to the

that there has been an increase un-
der the existing conditions is a salts
factory showing.
The increase in deposits was in
checking accounts and like funds, as
the time certificates show decrease
of s2,699,293, but the checking and
savings accounts have grown mater
tally.
The reduction in time certificates

less of hard times, or talk Of hard
times.
The state bank guaranty act OF

been much discussion of banking af-
fairs, not state bank has been clos

Newton Upholds Fine
Against Jersey Autoist
Law That Permits lz-Year-Old
Boy to Drive Car Not
Valid in New York

ALBANY, June 8.-Attorney General
Charles d. Newton to-day took part in
the controversy which has arisen be-
tween New York and New Jersey Off
cials as the result of the fining by a
Tuxedo justice of the peace of Eugene
Bogart, seventeen years old, of Pat
erson.
Bogart was fined SO because he was
operating car in violation of the New
York highway law, which places the
minimum age limit at eighteen years
Under the New Jersey law a person
over sixteen may drive a car.
Attorney General Newton. on request
of Secretary of State Lyons, took the
question under advisement. He decided
that the Tuxedo justice had acted prop
erly when he held that Bogart was driv-
ing his car in violation of the state law.
Secretary Lyons declined to discuss
the threat made by Motor Vehicle Com
missioner Dill, of New Jersey, that he
would compel every New York autoist
to take out New Jersey license be-
fore he would permit him to operate his
car in New Jersey unless steps should
be taken to reconsider Bogart's case.

his own ground in The event he causes
trouble for New York motorists" was
all he would say. z
