The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1894-09-18

useless Offices, such as railroad commits
sioner, state oil inspector, etc.
We pledge u Legislative candidates
to introduce and secure the passage OF a
law that will reduce the salaries of all
state and county officials.
We also demand that legislation be
enacted, looking to the abandonment Of
the school of mines as a useless and cost
ly expenditure of state money.
We are pleased that the Mitchell con
vention recognized the merit and worth
of our fellow citizen, Hon. Ell. 2. Smith,
Of Madison, and made him the candi.
date for the position of commissioner of
school and public lands; and we assure
the people of the state that he will, il
elected, faithfully conform to all the
laws relating to the duties of that office
and will be prompt and speedy in the
collection and distribution of its funds.
