Rep. German has introduced a
bill regulating grist mills and fixing
the toll at one-fifth, and Senator Kelly
has one in providing that no real

At present such a debt draws twelve

in making this ten per cent. His
bill granting a pension and back

The appropriation committee is

in to increase the salaries of the
Supreme and Circuit judges by
means of a tax on each action com
menced. BY this means the salaries
could be increased without any bur
den being laid on the taxpayer.

Special correspondence.

When the Legislature adjourned
on Friday it was until Tuesday and
there was a great rush on the part of
members and employees for home
and the result was that Pierre pre-
sented a deserted appearance, in
striking contrast to the first part of
the week when the first large crowd
of the session was here, caused by
the presence Of the South Dakota
Editorial Association, the Sheriffs,
County Treasures and County Audi
tors who were here combining bust
ness with pleasure by looking after
various measures in which they are
interested.
The newspaper boys seem to be
the best off as those measures that
have been introduced, in which they
are Interested, have been in their
favor, while with the others every
thing seems to be in the nature of a
reduction.
Kelley's bill reducing the salaries
of County T~reasurers and Register of
Deeds was the first of these bills to
get to the front and it was to-day
reported back from committee with
the recommendation that it "1o not
pass" This generally kills a bill,
but Kelley jumped into the breach
nobIy and in an impassioned speech
gave his reasons why the bill should
pass and wound up by moving that
the bill be sent back to committee
which was done. 1t was quite a vic
tory for Senator X. but the chances
are that he wont be able to get it
through finally. Wonder if our
County Treasurer and Register were
pops" if he would have introduced
Il like bill?
A bill introduced provides that all
state and county printing shall be
done inside the state. OF course
this was favored by the editors.
The sheriffs protested against the
proposition, now in, to have wardens
sent from the ~Penitentiary after con-
victed prisoners after the same man
ner as now done with insane patients.
1t is claimed by the friends of this
measure hat most of the bills are
padded and name several instances,
among them may be noted a conspic-
uous bill from Day county.
The irrigation bill has passed the
Senate and has gone to the House.
Il provides that townships may bond
themselves for the sinking of ~artesian
wells under the supervision of the
Engineer of Irrigation. This last
feature evolved some opposition but
it went through. Under the bill a
township may sink from n to six
teen wells but cannot bond for more
than five per cent. of the assessed
valuation Of said township, As this
would scarcely pay for more than
one or two wells a further bill in
creasing this percentage may be
looked for.
The Investigating committee are
holding daily sessions behind closed
doors. This course is being severely
criticised as this matter should be
given the widest publicity. Nothing
has been heard here of the missing
treasurer, though Atty Gen. Craw-
ford has gone to Indiana to run an
alleged clue down.

MUNICIPAL REFORM.

The question of municipal reform
in Its various phases, has, Of late, re-
ceived much attention by the people
and the press. The press almost
universally insists that partisan po-
litics should be eliminated from city
elections. The Toledo Blade re-
Gently contained this statement:
The effort TO drag national politics into
municipal contests is made by the little,
cheap, nasty politicians, who know that
they are going be to lost in the shuttle if the
people seriously undertake TO act upon the
principle that municipal government is
business-not,pOlitics.
We would be glad to have some of
these patriots tell us why state and
national contests should not be made
upon the same principal as munich
pal contests. If the people could
once realize that "the little, cheap,
nasty politicians" are as much more
interested IN preventing state and
national politics from being con-
sid dered matters of business as the in
terests are greater, they would soon
know enough to vote to some pur-
pose. Il has been the elimination of
all business principles from politics
and the substitution thereof of party
idolatry that has brought about the
conditions that now confront us.
