CONGRESSMEN SHY
AT BONUS QUESTION
MELONS TAX REDUCTION
STATEMENT MAKES LEAD
Frs MOVE CAUTIOUSLY.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Congres-
sional leaders, irrespective of party,
are proceeding with caution in. their
consideration of tax revision and the
related question of a soldiers bonus
Among the many conflicting opln-
ions only one stands out-that precip-
itate action on either proposal is to be
avoided
In the opinion of practically all lead
ers, republican, democratic and repub-
lican progressives, Secretary Melons
announcement that the national tax
bill can be reduced by approximately
1925, 100000 has stirred such general
demand for tax reduction that con-
gress will be obliged to enact some
sort of a revenue revision measure.
But a tax cut at the expense OF the
soldiers bonus is certain to meet with
determined opposition in both houses.
Suggestions are already being put
forward that neither of the two pieces
of legislation need be sacrificed at the
expense of the other.
Before committing themselves def
initely on either subject most leaders
await two events-a definite determi-
nation of how the senate and house
are going to line up on the organiza-
ton vote and the delivery of the first
annual message of President Coolidge.
These two things must, of necessity,
be important factors in the final leg
islative plan, certainly so far as the
republican organization is concerned.

This body recommends that the
grand jurors and petit jurors be paid
two dollars per day for their services
for the ensuing year. That the riding
bailiffs be paid FIVE dollars per day
for their services.
Killing of Old Negroes Deplored.
We deeply deplore the killing OF
the two aged negroes since the last
meeting OF the grand jury, apparently
without cause or justification, and
while we have investigated every
source of information obtainable by
this BODY we were not able to deter
mine the guilty parties, and we recon-
mend that the county police officers
continue their earnest efforts to ap-
prehend and bring to justice the per-
petrators OF these crimes
We recommend that the tax col
lector return to the sheriff with as Int
tie delay as possible all fl tas issued
for uncollected taxes and that the sher-
iff and his deputies be more dlhgent IN
the collection of these Fl fas
We recommend that the justice OF
the peace in each militia district OF
the county be required to furnish
the tax receiver of this county with
a list of the tax payers of his respect
i've district and the justices of the
peace be paid for their service accord
ing to law. This recommendation IS
made for the purpose of eliminating
so far as possible the long list OF in
solvent tax payers.
We recommend the county COM
misSioners provide safe passage way
across the Jones mill DAM and that
they make such arrangement with
the present property owner as they
may deem expedient for the main
tenance of such passage way. That
they maintain a temporary passage
way for vehicles where the road now
crosses the creek below the mill.
County Police Officer Recommended.
We recommend that the county
commissioners continue to employ a
county police officer.
We wish to thank his honor, Judge
Yeomans, for his able and instructive
charge to this body. We also wish to
extend to our solicitor general, b. T..
Castellow, our thanks for his assist
ance and guidance in the deliberations
of our body, as we'll as the officers OF
the county for their suggestions and
cooperation.
We recommend that these present
ments be published in The Dawson
News, and that they be paid SIS for
publishing same. Respectfully sub
mitted ]. D. LANG, Foreman.
The foregoing general presentments
received and read in open court. Let
them be spread upon the minutes OF

Tax Collectors and Tax Receivers
Books-We find the records in both
Of these offices are neatly kept and
to our belief are correct and find no
fault with them except we recommend
that the tax receiver exercise greater
caution and diligence in making re-
turns against people who have no
real estate as we'll as those who have
moved from the county. This is to
avoid the long list of insolvent taxes
which we find on the tax collectors
records. We further find that there is
great negligence by individuals and
corporations in registering and paying
special taxes and license, and urge
that the tax collector be admonished
to show greater diligence in present
ing the violators of this law

Many Americans Are
Stranded in Germany
Some Who Sought Wealth in Marks
Are Now Broke.

Eleven penniless American citizens,
who went to Germany with their own
money in search of the pot of gold
supposed to be there for foreigners,
are to come back to America in the
Storage.
The unhappy party consists chiefly
OF women, accompanied by their chill
dren, who changed their dollars for
marks with such disastrous results
that many of them have been living
recently on potatoes alone.
The American Benevolent Associa-
ton, headed by Ambassador Hough-
ton, raised money among the Ameri-
cans in Germany to send these I'M
fortunates, for whom there is no gov
ernmental appropriation, back to the
United States.
There are $50 American seamen at
Hamburg and Bremen who have be-
come beachcombers because they can
not get work. Scores of stranded
Americans are elsewhere i'll Germany.

at a salary of $500 month, was Civ
en- notice that his services will not be

1t was the opinion of the commits
sioners that conditions in the county
do not warrant the further employ
ment OF special prohibition officer,
and that the sheriff and the police Of
ficials in Dawson and the other towns
of the county are sufficient to sup
press the whisky traffic.
Mr.. Sage has been active since his
employment by the county, and

ton of a number of violators of the

u. S. Freed of Liability
In 7l-Year Cannon Suit
Supreme Court Finds Civil War In
ventor Forfeited Patent.

After seventy-cne years of contro-
versy, involving appeals to congress
and litigation, the u. S. supreme court
has decided that William E. Wool
bridge, deceased, had abandoned his
invention for firing projectiles from
rifed cannon and that his estate was
not entitled to any compensation from
the government for its use.
Woodbridge filed his application in
the patent office in Washington Feb
ruary 1852, and when his claims were
allowed he had the papers filed in the
secret achives, where they remained
for more than nine years, until in De-
cember, 1861, he sought TO have the
patent issued explaining that he
thought an opportunity had arrived to
make the invention pecuniarily val
liable.
In the civil war the use Of rihed
projectiles was developed highly. 1t
finally disposed of the long discussed
claim by finding that Woodbridge by
the delay in patenting his invention
had sacrificed whatever rights he may
have had as the original inventor.
