ATTENTION. WOMEN VOTERS!

All women voters who have changed their addresses since 1920 are asked to note the recent ruling of the board of registrars, that moves of voters from one voting dis triot to another must be recorded at the registrars office. Otherwise, special permits to vote at the new box must be obtained. A great deal of trouble will be saved by those who have moved If they will telephone the registrar, L. K. Bowen, at the court house, Main 4567, giving their new address. A new list of voters will be prepared for the spring pri- maries, and 1t is important that names and addresses shall be correct:
 In this connection, let us remind the women voters under 45 that their poll tax is now due and payable at the tax collectors office at the court house. The registration books Will also be open the first of January at the court house.

PHACE
By Edwin Markham

By Edwin Markham What was the first prophetic word
 that rang When down the starry sky the angels
 sang. That night they came as envoys of
 the Birth What word but peace, peace and
 good will on earth?" And what was the last word the
 Master said That parting night when they broke
 brother bread, That night He knew men would not
 let Him live Oh, what but peace I leave9 and
 Peace I give?' And yet behold; near twice a thou
 sand years And still the battle-wrath, the grief,
 the tears. Let mercy speed the hour when
 swords shall cease, And men cry back to God, "There
 shall be peace.' From the collected poems, Gin preraratton); published in "The American Federationist."

DON'T CUT IT OUT

The cause of appendicitis is subluxa-
ton of the 1st or End Lumbar Vertebrae,
which produce pressure on the nerves
passing to the Appendix. The Chiroprac-
tor replaces the partially displaced
vertebrae through quick conclusion of
forces applied with the hand, which re-
moves the impingement of the nerves,
restoring normal function, and where
there is normal function there cannot be
disease.

Fair Auto Tax Is the Aim
of Minnesota Lawmakers
More Than Four Out of Five Cars
Pay Only Tax Mihimum-$18 Is
Agreed Avrage Mark.

Agreed that automobile taxes must
be kept we'll up to the $1S average
voted in Amendment No. l, all that
is asked by the highway department,
to carry forward the state good roads
program, legislative committees at a
joint meeting virtually agreed on
new tax schedules. -
Automobiles now lower in price
and many taking the 3 and 5-year
depreciation allowance, some advance
in tax rates was shown necessary to
produce reasonable funds. With a
net gain of $4,000 cars this year, re-
ceipts figured at 100000 less than
in 1922.
No increases will be made in taxes
on 80 out of 100 cars registered in
the state, those to take the $12 min
imum on passenger cars and SIS on
trucks. But higher-priced cars may
be taxed a fraction of one per cent
more and commercial buses and
trucks at considerably higher rates.
This is expected to bring the average
tax, now down to $14.46, nearer to
the $18 figure, although probably not
up to the old personal property tax
totals.
Old cars will be taxed less than
new ones of like makes under the
proposed law and efforts will be made
to correct other inequalities. Pro-
posals for rates based ON weight,
usage and so forth, brought legal
ruling that the constitution limits the
basis to value. This may be broad

amendment at the next election.
Senate and house committeeman
were practically unanimous in the
opinion that automobile owners can
pay double the present taxes and still
make net profit on the use of the
improving highways. 1t was repeated
that this use is worth $12 year of
any car owners money, and those
with expensive cars can accord to pay
larger sums to extend the better
roads. Both city and country men,
bers agreed there was little complaint
against auto taxes with the main ex-
ception of cases where old cars are
taxed more than new, one of the in
