Washington. Nov. 5.-With the
elections over, and explanations
in order from all quarters, atten-
ton of official Washington is
turning to the publicity features
of the income tax law.
The test suit of the govern
ment against two daily newspa-
pers is of absorbing interest
here because of its ultimate po-
litical effect. While the publica-
ton of certain tax returns in the
daily newspapers excited the
readers of the big cities for few
days, those concerned over tax
matters here are wondering what
the public reaction would be to
listing the tax returns of the
leading citizens and business
houses in the smaller communi-
ties where civic affairs have a
more personal touch. This is a
feature which has been discussed
quietly in Washington but as yet
has not been given nationwide
circulation.
At present the question of
making tax returns public is not
a partisan question as it affects
all classes of political thought.
The final determination of the
new issue undoubtedly rests with
the courts and the Congress. II
the courts hold that in a legal
sense the intent of Congress to
open the tax books to the public
was clear, whatever repeal OF
modification is proposed will be
come exclusively a Legislative
matter. 49,

A farmer near Webster, s. d..
had a peculiar experience re-
Gently. During the winter his
wife had missed a fur collar and
the most careful search failed to
disclose its whereabouts. A few
days ago he dreamed three nights
in succession of seeing the collar
under the northwest corner Of
the granary. So impressed was
he that he finally went out and
investigated. Trusting his arm
beneath the stone foundation,
sure enough he felt a hairy sub
stance and pulled it out. The
man buried his clothes. but the
skunk escaped.-Exchange.

THIEVES ENTER
Petersen STORE
Get Away With About
$500 Worth of
Merchandise.

A gang of thieves selected the
village of Askov as their victim
early Sunday morning. Appar.
emily they came into town in
two or three cars about 2 a. m,
After driving around couple
of blocks and finding everything
quiet they parked at the r. Pc
dersen & Son store and appar-
emily went right to work and
broke open the front corner door
and proceeded to load up their
cars. The noise Of breaking the
door and the driving around with
the cars was heard by Holger
Kilstofte but being just about
train time he thought it was
some one arriving on the train
and paid no attention to it. Aage
Sorensen at the Carl Miller home
was enjoying a radio concert at
that hour and also noticed the
cars drive around but paid no at
tention to them.
Mr.. Petersen who lives just
back of the store did not hear
any noise at all and did not real
ize his loss until entering the
store about $50 Sunday fore
noon.
After checking up the missing
articles as far as possible Mr.. Pc
dersen reports that he lost about
20 pair of mems oxfords, "a pair
ladies' fine wool hose. so yards of
silk goods and several bundles of
other yard goods. a big pile of
mems, women's and children's
sweaters. IL heavy winter vest
jumpers and one skin jacket.
Several other articles were also
snatched up but it is not posi-
BILE to check up all items. An in
ventory of the loss shows same
to be in the neighborhood of
$500. Mr.. Petersen does not
carry burglar insurance.

All too often women accept their
pains and aches as NATURAL to their

kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, thse headaches, dizzy
spells and that tired, depressed feel
ing. Thousands have found new
health and strength by helping the
weakened kidneys with Doan's Pills
a stimulant diuretic. This Payette
case is one of many:

WHICH SYSTEM is BEST?

In Seattle, the city owns the
streets railway system and the peo'
pie pay ten cents for single ride
and, in addition, dig up some $780,
900 a year taxes which the private
company formerly paid.
In Portland, the streets railway is
owned privately, gives better service
than the Seattle system and car
riders pay eight cents for a single
ride. The city collects annually
some hundreds of thousands of dol
lars taxes from the private company,
thus relieving all Portland property
of a corresponding amount of tax
alton.
Cleceland Ohio, the star perform
er in municipal ownership, is going
into an eclipse. Figures show that
the private electric company in that
city which competes with the muni-
ciDal electric plant, has gained 1S4
per cent in customers over a given
period as against 121 per cent for
the municipal plant during the same
period.
The gross revenues per kilowatt-
hour for all electricity supplied by
and private plants in
Cleveland is approximately the same
but if taxes are deducted from pri- I!
yate company rates, private service
would be considerably cheaper.

MODERN HIGHWAY
CONSTRUCTION

AS one travels over the hard sur
faced highways in a state like Cali
fornia he is impressed with the diff
ference between the roads built
from five to ten years ago and
modern trend in road construction
The old road, from IS to 90 feet
wide, is being replaced by roads
where the grading runs almost from
fence to fence on either side of the
highway
This requires no more work than
digging bitches along the sides of
the road as in the past and it adds
immeasurably to the samety of the
highways. 1t makes them virtually
the width of a city street as on
either side of the paved strip in the
center there is plenty of room for
one or more cars to pass.
In other words, highways are be
ing widened out sufficiently so that
five or six cars may stand abreast.
This elimintes, to n large extent, the
danger of accidents from passing ce-
hicles.
A second feature that one observes
Is the tendency to build shoulders.

Western states are leading the

construction which include widening
