THE SOUTH DAKOTA ANTE-COMPACT
INSURANCE LAM SUSTAINED.

L
INSURANCE LAM SUSTAINED.
Judge Garland at Sioux Falls on Fri
day sustained the demurrer of Attor
ney General Hall to the Injunction re-
straining Insurance Commissioners Per-
kin's from enforcing the anti-compact
insurance law and decided that the
South Dakota law in no way conflicts
with the privileges granted by the
fourteenth amendment to the cUnstitu-
tton. He takes square issue with Judge
PhersOn who recently decided the
Iowa law to be unconstitutional. The
two courts are OF equal rank and these
decisions will no doubt go to the
United States Supreme Court for final
adjudication, 1t has been pointed out,
however, that Judge Mcpherson de-
clared the Iowa law unconstitutional
because the law restrained the COM
panies from fixing rates of commission
and making compacts regarding other
details OF conducting the business
that were allowed other corporations.
Agreement with other companies on
rates to be charged patrons was not
considered at all, this being already
forbidden by the Iowa anti-trust law.
The insurance interests established
1T Pierre last winter powerful lobby
and made desperate efforts to defeat
both the anti.compact and the valued.
policy measures. They tried to
bulldoze the legislature by asserting
that the law was clearly unconstitu-
tionaI and that ii it passed they would
withdraw their business from the state,
leaving business properties without
the protection of insurance. The ap.
pointment OF Commissioner Perkins
WAS gleefully heraled as surrender "a
the insurance combine, claim which
we assured our readers at the time To
be somewhat premature. This legis.
lati0n IL clearly In the interests OF the
people and good government, and hae
been consistently and strongly en-
dorsed by the press Of the state with
few exceptions and with little regard

CAME EARLY FOR HIS MONEY.

Little Story illustrates Thrifty Traits
of New Englanders.
When Henry Harland was at Har-
ward he spent his vacations at Nor.
wich, Conn. One Sunday he met an
old friend of his to whom he owed
quarter. AS he was leaving at 4:30
Monday morning for the long winter
term, he called to the old gentleman
and said:
Deacon H., owe you quarter"
"Ah, my son, no business transac-
tions on the Sabbath day."
Harland, hastily putting his money
in his pocket, begged his pardon, and
said as: he: was leaving very early
the next morning, he had ventured to
pay him ON the Sabbath. -,
In the black dawn of winters
morning as he put his head out ofssthee
window to say to the cabman that he
would be down directly, and there be.
side the cab stood a dark, motionless
figure.
Who. can be good enough to see
me off at this time in the morning" "
thought Harland.
When he came down he found that
the deacon had come for his quarter.
