Reward for Taylor.

Reward for Taylor.
PIERRE, =. d.. Jan. 10. lin the legis-
laturc today the dedication OF Mr.. Tay-
Tor received its first attention. Each
house was disposed TO rush action, and
the result was n joint resolution, passed
under suspension of the rules without
objection, empowering the executive to
offer n reward Of 81, 600 for the appre.
tension of Mr.. Taylor. The amount
of the defalcation given In the resolu-
ton which cmapatcd from the senate
was 1907, 900. This amount includes
the money due the school fund, which
money must finally be made good out
Of the general fund.
Owing TO the financial condition OF
the state it is probable that the session
will not run the full sixty days, and
hence there is a hustling TO get bills in
MS rapidly as possible. From fifteen to
twenty new bills were introduced in
each house and among them bills that
will become the hubs around which
legislation will largely circle. The
railroad bill introduced yesterday Is
an exceedingly elaborate md stringent
measure, adding much 10 the powers
of the railroad commission. 1t con
tains f%orty-nine sections and consumed
at least two hours i'm the reading.
The ~resubmission question already
appears in n bill 10 give the voters OF
the state the privilege of expressing
themselves on the question OF consti-
tutional prohibition.
Another bill of seeming Importance
which doubtless will be the starter for
stringent legislation in reference TO the
custodianship of public moneys and in
reference 10 bonds, was introduced by
Mr.. McCaughey Of Sphinx. This bill is
likely to attract especial attention
owing to the weakness apparent In the
bonds of ex-T Treasurer Taylor, and IL is
possible hat the law may be made to
require public officers TO provide bonds
after the style usually required from
federal officeholGers, which limits the
liability Of each bondsman TO u speci-
fled amount, and which would tend to
lessen the tendency of bondsmen to
pool.
In the senate Mr.. A,pin introduced a
long irrigation bill, which is amenda-
tory of the Melville irrigation law
passed IN 1891 and known as the town
ship law. The amendments purpose is
10 enable townships to accomplish tho
best possible results under existing re-
st%rictions and will. In its consideration,
be taken in conjunction with a Joint
resolution for amending the constitu-
ton so that townships may bond at
least II per cent Of the assessed value
Tor irrigation purposes only. 4,
Full committees were announced in
