Gasoline Tax Brings
Large Amount to State

Pierre, eSpt. 1.-THE state tax of
one cent gallon on gasoline which
is used in automobiles travelling on
state highways has brought $685.
019.50 into the state treasury to
date. OF this amount $37, 1851 has
been paid back in exemptions for
gasoline used for other purposes.
This would indicate that the esti-
mate of the state highway depart
ment which was $450,0O0 annually.
is approximately correct.
Tourist travel will practically
cease by the end of September. Re-
ceipts from this source will be light
and there will still be heavy exemp-
tions because of the fail plowing
which will take considerable gaso-
line despite the fact that many trac-
tors used in farm work are run with
kerosene, according to officials oi
the highway department.
The average per month for the
first six months of the year in
which the tax has been in force
amounts to $37,984.87. Taking this
as the basis for an estimate covering
the entire year the highway depart
ment points out that the annual in
come will be approximately $455.

WAR WITH MOS
LENS IMMINENT
TURKISH ACTIVITIES MAY IN
VOLVE THE NATIONS OF
EUROPE

London, Sept. 14-Another great
war with the moslems, backed by the
bolsheviki against all Europe, seem
ed imminent today. Further ad-
vance of the Turks against Constan-
tinople may bring declaration OF
war by England. Russia has open-
ly declared support of the Turks.
The Dardennelles may be the touch
stone of the new war if the Turks
disregard thea llied ultimatum. In
two weeks the near east situation
has changed from petty war of ma
tional aspiration to the verge of a
great conflict involving the nations
of Europe in a clash with the ambi-
tious moslem millions. 1t is report
ed today that the Turks have stop
ped theid advance with British guns
barring the way.

'HOOCH" SALE
OECE|vES MANY
DRY AGENTS DECLARE EVEN
BOOTLEGGERS FOOLED NOW
ADAYS ON FAKE STUFF.

Sioux Falls, Sept 14-Ingenious
bootleggers and rum runners have
developed the art of bottling, color
ing an dotherwise substituting va
rious mixtures for sale as real whis-
ky until the most careful of buyers
of illicit hooch are now deceived, ac-
cording to a statement made yester-
day by w. o. Knight, federal prohi-
bition director for South Dakota.
The statement of Mr.. Knight was
issued following receipt of analyti-
cal samples of alleged bonded
whisky taken by federal dry agents
a few weeks ago near Huron.
The raid at Huron netted the gov
ernment operators 140 quarts of the
liquid, bearing regular labels of
brands of whisky and brandy popu-
lar in the days before prohibition.
The liquor was transferred 10
Sioux Falls a short time after the
raid. samples taken and forwarded
to government chemists for analysis.
The reports of the chemists received
yesterday showed that less than five
per cent of the "hoch" taken was
real whisky.
Mr.. knight explained that as all
liquor taken in raids and supposed
to be regular liquor, is sold to hos
pitals and other authorized business
es. 1t is necessary to get the seized
goods analyzed TO determine its
worth in medicinal uses.
The recently confiscated booze, ac-
cording to federal agents, is fine
example of the perfection bootleg
gers have been able to obtain in the
art of deception.
