Appropos Of the proposed legislatio

for cents mile, Minnesota paper
says that if member Of the legislature
Ii entitled to collect from the state 10
cents per mile for travelling from his
home 10 Sc. Paul, how can he have the
heart to ask the railroads to carry pas
sengers for cents per mile? Il 3 cents
per mile il an unjust charge for the rail
roads, 10 cents is worse charge for mem
bers of the legislature 10 make. While
speaking upon this subject the ADyER-
TIsER suggests that inasmuch az it is the
custom for members of the Legislature to
be furnished free transportation they
should continue in the line OF economy
by cutting of the mileage altogether.
It would save about $4,000 TO the tax
payers Of South Dakota every two
years.
Another reform measure as viewed
from granger standpoint, is the enact
ment Of law creating the Office Of
boiler inspector and requiring boilers TO
be inspected once month at cost Of :$5
per inspection to companies exempting,
however, the most dangerous class of
boilers, those OF farm machinery. The
Homestake company has 16O boilers,
and in compelling this corporation to pay
$9, 600 per annum for such service is a
rank injustice, when especially thresh-
ing g-machine boilers are exempt. H this
sort of Legislation is any index to what
the independent party proposes to do
when it gets control of state and national
affairs, God speed the day when the last
vestige of this new organization is wiped
from the face of the political armament
of this great, glorious and free republic.

be expected from the eastern part Of th
