South Dakota has a half million

South Dakota has half million
people. 1t is safe to say that not
one South Dakotan in hundred
ever has occasion to 90 to the state
capital. Nearly all of the business
OF the state is transacted through
the mails, except in the land de-
partment, and the expenses of this
Office would be increased instead
OF lessened if the capital should be
removed to Mitchell. because the
state lands are all much nearer
Pierre then the Dawson county
town, and the cost to the state in
salaries of field men ETC.. would
be greater than at present.
When this increased cost is tax
en- into consideration, with the
difference in cost in fuel and light
at Mitchell, compared with Pierre 's
natural gas facilities. il will be
perceived that the question OF
cost is all i'll favor of The present
capital. 1t should also be re
membered that this cost will no,
be temporary. but will continue as
