10 Per Cent of Cas Users Claim Tax Exemption Gasoline for Tractors, Light ing Systems, Milking Ma chines Not Subject to South Dakota Levy. Pierre, S. D., Feb. 4.—Claims for exemption under the state gasoline tax are holding to an average of about. 10 per cent of the total re ceipts. according to E. A. Jones, state auditor, under whose direction clerks are having a lively time keeping abreast of the flood of individual re fund applications. Total receipts for the first five months’ operation under the 2-cent levy, July to November, inclusive, were $558,350.16. During the month of January, exemption claims, which are allowed for every purpose other Ilian use of gasoline on highways, totaled more than 6,500, and the mini mum for one day never fell below 100. Prior to July 1, comparatively few exemptions were asked, owing to the . smallness of most of those claims un "" der the l cent tax. Gasoline used In tractors for plow ing, corn shredding and threshing, has formed the principal basis for claims from farms, according to the record#, hut farm lighting systems, milking machines and stationary en gines were frequently specified. Miscellaneous uses which form largo classes of refund claims are - those of dry cleaning firms, home ,.' washing machines and, before the •liver froze, the three motor ferries at Yankton, Chamberlain and Pierre. advertisement] GOLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA Chronic coughs nn<l persistent colds lead to serious lung trouble.
