OFFICIAL Paper OF CITY and COUNTY.
vBRMs OF SUBSCRIPTION

The treasury surplus is causing the
republicans much trouble. 1t is piling
a large portion Of the circulating medi.
um in the vaults of the treasury and
causing a stringency among the people.
To relieve the situation, the republicans
desire to deposit this surplus with the
national banks. The democrats oppose
this and talk OF having Secretary Gage
impeached for violation of the United
States statutes in not placing and keep
log the money in the United States
treasury. The populists are opposed to
both these schemes and believe that the
right place for this money is in the pock-
cts Of tie people. II never ought to be
taken from the pockets Of the people
until it is known it is needed. Taxation
more or other than this is robbery. 10
tie up the circulating medium of tie
people in this way gives the capitalist
and money-holder an immense advan-
tage over the people to squeeze them,
and more especially since our finances
have been put on the narrow gold basis.
This plling up of money in the treasury
Is for war purposes, present and pros
pective. and is a mighty poor outlook for
q republic.

all persons assembled in public places,
for the reason that according to the best
medical authority Of the age, vaccination
Is the best known method OF preventing
the spread OF the disease known as
smallpox, and that the preservation of
the public health requires that all reas-
enable precaution should be taken to
prevent the spread of the disease, and
that it was intended to confer upon the
state board of health by chapter SO, gu.
thority to prevent the spread Of this dis.
ease SO far as possible. l am of the
opinion, however, that the correct rule
upon the subject is announced by the
supreme court of Illinois, in the case of
Potts vs. Breen (supre), and also in the
subsequent case of People OK rel La
baugh vs.. board of education, 50 n. E.
30, and that in communities where
smallpox Is not prevalent, and where tits
remote from places where it is prevalent,
that the order of the state board OF
health cannot be enforced, and that the
children of such communities have a
right to attend the public schools with
out a certificate showing that they have
been vaccinated."
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1900-01-18

State Superintendent of Public In
struction Collins has asked an opinion
OF Attorney General Pyle on the author
ity of the state board Of health to en-.
force vaccination. Attorney General
Pyle has given his answer in substane
AS follows:
Il have your favor OF the 9th inst,
asking my opinion upon the question,
first, whether or not the state board OF
health has the legal right to command
district boards to demand that all pupils
attending school in their various dis.
~tricts, be v%accinated; and, second, wheth-
er the district board have the right to
exclude the pupils from school that
have not been vaccinated according to
the boards order.
in reply to your inquiry, will say
that the powers of the state board Of
health as conferred by chapter 9G of the
session laws Of 1895. Section ) provides.
The state board of health 7 y shall
have power x X to make and enforce
any and all rules and regulations for the
prevention and cure, aud to prevent the
spread OF any contagious, infectious and
malarial disease
Section lG Of the same act. provides
for the penalty for violation OF any OF
the rules and regulations made by the
state board Of health.
In recent years the question Of the
authority OF a state to require ~vaocina-
tion OF school children has frequently
been called in question as has also the
authority of a board OF health to estab-
lish a regulation requiring vaccination"
The attorney general then cites cases
of California, Pennsylvania, Connecticut,
Wisconsin and Illinois to show the legal
positions that have been taken in the
matter, and then concludes az follows:
1T seems to me, therefore, that in this
state the question turns upon the ques.
ton Cs to whether or not 1t was reasona.
by necessary for the prevention of the
disease of smallpox to require all pupils
IN the state to be vaccinated. am Of
the opinion that in those communities
whore smallpox may exist or that are in
the vicinity Of neighborhoods whore it
does exist, that it is within tho power
and authority Of the state board Of
health to require vaccination Of all pu.
