The inference seems to prevail that the
amendments attached to the capital
commission bill corrected its evil fea-
lures, but this it not the case. One of
the important amendments provided for
naming the commissioners in the. bill,
was adopted and the commissioners were
50 named. This. was, however, Of very
little consequence, as the commissioners
had been agreed upon between the gov
ernor and the syndicate and the names
that were put in the bill we're the names
the governor was to present to the coun-
Gil for confirmation. Another amend
ment gives to the capital grounds one
hundred and sixty acres of land instead
OF twenty, but does not take it's manage.
ment from the control of the syndicate.
1t simply gives them mere acres to ham
die than they had under the origi-
nal bill without affording the
public any more protection
against rascality. This amendment was
made to appear as u magnanimous con-
cession on the part Of the syndicate to
the people, but it is in reality, 80 shaped
that 1t ls no concession at ali. There was
also an amendment adopted changing
the per diem of the members OF the COM
mission from ten dollars per day to six
dollars per day. This amendment saves
to the territory $l1,26s, giving to the
commissioners as per diem
$l6,902 instead of S28,l7O. But there is
no restriction as to expenses and the
commission has 1t in Its power to draw
without limit from the general territorial
fund for this purpose. It will cost the
people Of Dakota as much as $4,000 to
sustain this illegal commission during
the period of its existence, which will be
until it is legislated out of Office. By
another amendment the governor is di-
rected to temporarily remove the capital
and place it where he chooses until the
commission finds place to put il. This
last amendment attempts to give to one
man the power to fix the seat Of govern.
ment wherever he chooses until such
time as nine other men tell him where il
shall be located. This provision, as W.
have previously mentioned, contra
venes" the organic act. These are il
substance the amendments attached tc
the original bill. The little that is good
in them will be hardly sufficient to leaven
the entire lump.
