are:
First Ward-Herbert Clay.
Second Ward-George Welsh.
Third Ward-Ralph Hancock.
Fourth Ward-Dr. Parkinson.

On account of the city laws gov
erning the election which makes it
necessary to use the registration list
of the last election, approximately
$50 names are on the list who have
died, or moved away, and will not
vote Tuesday. This will make il
necessary to bring out every eligible
vote for bonds if the election is to
carry.
Those who stay away will further
increase the burden of carrying
bonds. Not to vote in the election
counts almost as much against bonds
as to go to the polls and vote against
them. A majority of the registra
ton must cast a ballot For Bonds.
Although the women cannot legal
ly vote in the election for bonds OF
account of not being registered fol
the last election, arrangements vii
be made to receive their votes IN
straw ballot which will be held neal
the official election. 1t is very mucf
desired that the women of Marletts
be given a chance to express them
selves on the paving question an'
this plan will also give them an op
portunity to familiarize themselve
with the customs of voting. Ever!
woman in Marietta, twenty-one AM
above, will be eligible tosvote IN TN
straw ballot and is urged to COM
out and express her wishes on eiec
ton day. 1t is the regret OF IN
town that they are prevented iron
voting in the election because OF al
unfortunate paragraph in the cit
charter.

Robbers Sack
General Store

Yankton, Oct 10.-The M. H..
Hushkin store at Mission Hill was
entered and robbed of merchandise
valued at between $4,000 and S4,-
600 early Thursday morning.
The robbers entered the side door
of the place by pryin out a panel.
and sacked the store, picking out
only pure silk and the best OF the
clothing stock-pants, coats, leather
goods, and even some underwear
that was in the show window on the
street. The thoroughness of the job
and the careful selection of goods
are believed by Mr.. Hushkin and
Deputy Sheriff Chris Poppe, who was
called, to indicate that the job was
done by professionals.
When the first word of the rob-
berry reached Yankton 1t was believ-
ed the loss would only be between
500 and $500, but further investigar
ton indicated that it would go much
higher than that Mr. Hushkin had
no insurance, and win feel the loss
particularly since he has only recent
ly taken over the sole ownership Of
the store.
The only clue TO the route taken
by the robbers was the finding Of
two silk shirts on the road south oi
Mission Hill.

PUT 81 TAX ON
LIQUOR SALES
THIS INCREASE IL EXPECTED To
YIELD S75 5.000, 900 ADDITION
AL REVENUE A YEAR.

Washington, Oct 10-A lax of $4
a gallon on all alcoholic spirits when
drawn from bond for Industrial, me-
dicinal or any other purposes has
been agreed upon by republican lead
ers as a part of the new tax revision
proram. This is an increase of $50
gallon and is expected to yield
SIS, 900, 900 additional revenue each
year.
The proposal TO repeal the $4,000
exemption allowed corporations was
abandoned on the ground that it
would work too great a hardship on
the small corporations. The leaders
also were said TO have decided on a
flat corporation income tax of / 5 per
cent in place of 10 and 1 5 per cent
rate.
A maximum income sur tax of so
per cent would apply in the case of
incomes in excess of 5000. 900, in
stead of $500, 900 as proposed by the
democratic senator's Existing rates
above 80 per cent would be- increas-
ed two per cent Treasury experts
estimate that the additional yield
from these changes would be $780,
900. 900 annually.
Estate tax rates would be increas-
ed to a maximum of SO per cent
over the present 25 per cent, the
highest rate TO apply in the case of
estates valued at 500, 100000 or
more. The rates between 25 and
40 would be graduated.
Decision has been reached, lead
ers said, to repeal $40 900, 600 of the
nuisance taxes, but just which of
these taxes are TO o. has not been
finally decided.
1t was said there would be no in
creased in first class postage sales
discussed yesterday as a possibility,
and leaders have not in mind impos-
ing any new taxes.
The program as drawn by leaders.
which includes repeal of the excess
profits tax next Jenuary L, and re-
tention of the capital stock tax, is
to be laid before majority members
of the senate finance committee late
today.

not proving as popular with the
hunters of the state. as was anticipat-
ed, according to H. s. Hedrick, state
game warden. Only SO and SO OF
these special licenses have thus far
been issued.
The law under which the special
licenses are issued specifies that a
fee OF SO be charged instead of the
usual 81 collected for an ordinary
license. Applications for these IL
