Proceedings ot the
~ Week in the -.
State Law Mill

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 1.-THE matter
uppermost in the affairs of legislation
| at the taking of the recess last Thurs
day was that of insurance legislation.
The valued policy insurance people of
the house made their first direct move
yesterday in the way of a motion by
Gerhard ordering the insurance COM
| mittee to report to-day on house bill
No. 40. The motion was passed with
out protest. The question of a valued
policy law is one which the people of
the state are beginning TO express
themselves pretty strongly on, and
their feeling on the matter has taken
shape in the way of petitions to their
members in regard 10 the matter.
Lincoln county has sent strong petit
| ton to her members demanding such
| legislation, and other counties are get.
ting into line on the question. The
state mutuals have been asking delay
| on the matter, but the sentiment is
growing so strong that all indications
at the present time point TO action.
or course as no legislation in this di-
reCtion has passed either house the
forces which are working TO prevent
il may succeed in stopping the meas
ure before it becomes a law, but the
house at least is determined to rush
the bill. They claim also to be in
shape to force the measure through
the senate, and as that body is begin
| ming to show signs of little need OF
forcing, the chances are that there will
| be things doing
An effort TO push the bill for an ap-
| preparation for the st. Louis exposi.
| ton yesterday resulted in that meas
ure being made a special order for
Feb. "a. Both houses took action on
the suggestion of Gov. Herreid, and
| introduced resolutions making each
county treasurer a receiver of funds
for the benefit of the famine district
of Northern Europe.
The principal house bills introduced
were to make a penitentiary sentence
| begin at the time of commitment; TO
regulate the hours of employment in
mines; to appropriate $4,000 for a
Irvine plant at the penitentiary, and
an anti-compact insurance bill. The
house passed bills to prohibit prostitu.

senate bills introduced were to make
the salary of the public examiner 81,

ton of combinations and trusts, and
licensing solicitors for benevolent or.
CARNATIONS.
The Torrens transfer of title meas.
ure, which was introduced by Price
by request, will hardly secure any
great recognition at the present ses,
sion. The measure introduced is a
copy of the Illinois law which is now
in effect in that state, and makes the
operations of the law optional with
the property owner. He may list his
land under that system or continue
the present system of transfer, just as
he chooses. While it is not at all like
ly that the measure will be taken seri
ously at this session, it is but a ques
ton of time until it will be put in op
Grafton in South Dakota, and the soon
er that time comes the less expense
will be attached to the work of start
! ing it.

Pierre, s. D., Feb. H. The after
noon in the house was practically
taken up with talk. The first round
being over the valued policy bill, was
reported TO the house without recon-
mendation, and called out a discussion
on Goddards motion to commit it to

was met by a motion for delay, in
which Longstaff led and a number of
others joined, being opposed by God
dard and Gross, who finally won out
and the bill was sent to the engrossing
committee and reported out later in
the afternoon.
The next talk was over the senate
bill relating to insane funds, in which
there were several sharp passages
and insinuations as to the honesty of
motives of some members, resulting
in the adoption OF the majority report,
which was unfayorable to the bill.
