Estate LEGISLATURE:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
NN/NNNNNN@NNNNN1

The entire appropriation bill
passed by the legislature
amounts to 81, 100000. In this
however, are included several
deficiency accounts left over from
former legislatures. The state
is growing, and public instu-
tons will require more money to
conduct larger operations.
The total number of bills pass
ed is about 200.
Senator Saltmarsh's wolf boun-
ty amendment to pay the $780,
900 deficiency, was carried in
both houses, and with the gov
ernor's signature will become a
law, This will clean up a lot of
certificates now held by Hand
county parties.
The state legislature closed
its session at Pierre Friday.
There was no sensational feat
ureS as expected, and the capital
removal bill stands as passed
Next year the state will vote
upon Pierre or Mitchell for cap
ital location.
The state fair is to be perma-
nently located at Huron. That
IS measure of general interest
and benefit to a great portion of
the state.
The Ninth Judicial circuit was
also created, including Beadle,
SPHINX. Kingsbury and Miner
counties. The only mistake
made was in not including Hand
also in this circuit.

The state militia boys must
have been log rolling a little out

cured an appropriation of $40, |
