STATE HISTORIAN HAS COMPH.
ED CARD linden SYSTEM OF
GREAT VALUE.

Pierre, Sept. IL Every person
year 1905 and every person who was
in the state in 1915 have been given
a permanent record. Under the di-
rection of Doane Robinson, state
historian, an immense card index
system of South Dakotans was COM
piled in each of those years and the
result of the compilations now are
carefully filed away in room in the
basement of the state capitol here.
Looking into the record room, an
orderly array of boxes may be seen
In each box is an arrangement of the
them.
In the records are the name. age.
religious affiliation, antecedents,
political faith, and other data con
cerning each of the hundreds Of
thousands of persons listed.
To know something of any of the
persons listed it is only necessary to
have the name. Mr.. Robinson knows
his records well and takes pride in
kttplhS lRtul up " Al oCCh
ing information about any person he
finds the card under that name with
an unusual CELEBRITY and has the in
formation at hand within short
time after the question has been
asked.
One feature of the system is the
military record fept of each of the
persons indexed. This informa-
tion has greatly helped in the set

BETTER TURN
IN BUSINESS
OBSTACLES TO STEADY PROG
GRESS ARE DIMINISHED.

New York. Sept. 12-Dun's re-
sumo of trade for the past week
says:
Despite holiday Interruptions and
other impediments, the week has
brought turn for the better in bus
mess. Record of production in bas-
ic industries disclose the adverse eff
feet of the labor unsettlement, but
the restraints are lessened as coal
mining is more fully resumed, and
reports indicate improvement in the
transportation situation. Evidence
of recovery in iron and steel manu-
facture following decided setback,
is encourag ging, and there now seems
reason to believe that fewer obstac-
les to progress will be encountered.
In view of the scope of the strike
and their protracted duration, more
stability has prevailed in business
than might have been expected, and
it is significant in this connection
that the monthly statistics show a
further reduction in the number OF
| failures.
While mercantile and industrial
activities have been curtaileC
throughout the summer, the fact IL
not obscured that the outlook is one
of good promise and that a soliC
foundation exists for subsequent ex
pansion.

GOVERNOR GIVES
VIEWS ON TAXES
TAXATION FOR SUPPORT STATE
GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN
REDUCED ONE-HAIF.

Yankton, Sept. II Campaign talk
so far this summer has dealt large
ly with promises to reduce taxes and
to allegations that the present adj
ministration is keeping them up.
The fact is that the present admins
tration has more than cut them in
two," said Gov. w. H. McMaster, in
ing through to Rosebud and Pine
Ridge, where he had speaking dates
at county fairs.
Taxes are of two kinds" said
Governor McMaster. I'm one group
would be the soldier bonus bonds
and the other obligations that the
electorate voted. No administra-
ton has any discretion as to these
expenditures. And any administra-
ton would have to continue with
them, for the people have voted
them.
Then there are the taxes an ad-
ministration can ocntrol, the taxes
for revenue for the support of ad-
charitable institutions and depart
ments. These are the taxes the pres
ent administration has something to
say about, and all the taxes any ad-
ministration would have anything to
say about.
These" the governor continued
''have been cut in two in the last
year. In 1921 there was a state
levy of 10 mills, and the average
tax on quarter setcion of land in
the state was something over Sill
In 1922 the levy has been cut to 8
of a mill, and the tax has been cut
to a little over SIS. 1t has been cut
as low as it is possible to go.
"All the present administr .tion
asks" Governor McMaster said is
that people look into their tax re-
ceipts. All we ask of our opponents
is that they confine their promises
TO the things it is possible for then
to do"
