MUTUALS NOT EXCEPTED
Many Errors Found In Bills When Too
>: ga Late to Rectify.

PIERRE, S. D.--As the bills Of the clos
ing days of the legislative session are be-
ing scrutinized, their crudities and pecu-
liarities appear. After the anti-compact
insurance bill was introduced in the house
it found so much opposition from the
mutuals that it was amended to exclude
such companies from it's provisions. This
amendment carried it through the house
with but little opposition, but when 1T
reached the senate it had several propo-
sitions to contend with, and was amended
in several other particulars. but on final
action was carried just as it was first In
troduced, with all the amendments favor
ing the rnutua]s stricken out.
In this shape it came back to the house
and the senate amendments were con-
Cured in without debate. The general
supposition was that the bill had passed
with the provisions favoring the mutuals.
but this is a mistake, and the law on
file in the office of the secretary of state
gives the mutuals no rights not granted to
all insurance companies in common.
The bill carrying an appropriation for
the Springfield normal school also shows
lack of care in drawing. The usual form
in such bills is to Inappropriate money not
otherwise appropria ted but in this bill
there is appropriated $4,000 out of money
otherwise appropriated.
Among the bills which will stir up con-
Germ on the part Of at least one class IN
1.-THE state is senate bill 231. which was in
troduced during the closing days OF the
session by the senate committee on tenn
perance. Early in the session house Dill
was introduced which attempted to amenc
the present liquor laws to prevent the civ
ing of liquor to minors or inebriates, but II
was SO muddled that the governor vetoed
it, and was sustained by vote or Il to l.
A new bill was introduced in the senate
which was supposed to correct the irregu-
larities of the vetoed house bill and was
rushed through both houses An 1nVestl'
CATION showed that it did more than this
as it also restored the law of 1897, Wh1cf
was repealed two years ago. or this law
