By Frank Fiske, iBsmarck North Dakota; Bis- marek ‘Tribine.) ; “This.story begins with the expedi- tion of Lewis and Clark meeting the Yankton Sioux in 1804, and relates the ehief events in the life of this péople until the present time when they are “practically on the same footing as the progressive white man.” How Breat the change which has come to these people in a little over a century May be grasped from the reading of the chapter on early-day costumes, and then reminding one’s self that not a few Sioux Indians today ride in au- tomobiles and carry matches, it being “hard to find an Indian who knows how to make a fire in the old-time way.” “From the time Lewis and Clark first met the Sioux until the United States government ‘removed the civil: Yan Indian-agents, and put army offi- ‘Cers in charge, the story is one of mis- ‘trust on both sides, and almost contin- uous fighting. As we look back over ‘the history as recorded in this vol- ‘ame we can see how much suffering ‘and how ‘many deaths might have jbeen prevented had it been -possible for each side to understand the other hhetter.

MOTOR VEHICLE SARDONIC PRANKS | Owner of High igh Priced Car Gets | All the Best of It at Expense of the Fordites. ‘The last legislative assembly passed | a law changing the method of regis- tering of automobiles, placing a mini- mum registration fee of $6 for new ys of 20 horse power or less and} 50 cents extra for each additional horse power. | | This law was evidently intended to| | produce greater revenue and. to have the more expensive cars pay a tax in} | proportion to their greater value and | | power, but the fact that it will not do| | so in all cases, and in many instances | has the opposite effect, is becoming ; apparent now that car owners are or- | dering their 1918 license tags. For instance, we have a 32-horse| Hupmobile and a 15-horse Saxon both | |three years old. When new the | former cost $1,200 and the latter $395, and yet each is taxed $6 by. reason of the fact that the law rates the power solely by the bore and the number of cylinders, ‘These particular cars, how- ever, pay only half this sum because they have been licensed for three suc- cessive years. Again, there isa 48-horse Hupmo- bile, list price .$1,385,, and a 20-horse Ford, the list price of which is $340. These are taxed $7 each because each has four cylinders of 3%-inch bore and is rated at 22 horse power. The new law provides that all funds derived from .the registration of mo- tor vehicles shall go into the road fund and “shall be in lieu-of all taxes, | owner about $1 | general and local, to which motor ve~ !hicles shall be subject.” It will thus | be seen that the $1,385 car which pays | only $4 more registration fee than it did under the former law, saves the 3.50, this estimate be- ing based.on one-fourth valuation and 5 per cent tax levy. ‘ j OMNANEOONONONUAOONE UADOUDRODOOOOUONONEAE HORSES.
