LAW MAKERS PUT :
IN MOST BUSY WEEK
And Much important Legislation is Taken up and Enacted
Into Law
RECIPROCAL DEMURRAGE BILL PASSED
Capitol Building Bill is Passed and South Dakota Material
Has Preference

the senate amended so that South
Dakota material was given a five per
cent preferential over outside material
''Of equal value" Parmely sought to
amend the senate provision to require
the use OF home material, except such
stone as must be polished or cut for
ornamental purposes. His object was
to compel the use of prairie boulders.
The topic was discussed at great length
and it developed that the consensus
OF opinion OF the house was that home
material should be used as matter
OF sentiment if it could be done with
out materially enhancing the cost but
that five per cent was the limit to which
they wouldd do. When finally Parmley's
amendment had been voted down, the
bill was passed unanimously precisely
as it came from the senate and it was
signed by the governor at noon Friday
so there is nothing further in the way
of the commission and with an abund-
ance Of money in hand they may
start at once toward the construction
Of the capitol and fine progress should
be made before the next legislature
meets as the plans are all in hand, l,
the foundation for the east wing
COulpLcleu, anu all VI VIC preliminary
details attended to.
The house anti-treating bill was a
special order at three O'Clock and was
taken up, discussed and passed to the
surprise of every one and the conster-
nation OF many. 1t was at once
messaged to the senate read and refer
ed, reported back on Thursday with
majority and minority reports both of
which were rejected by the senate and
the bill made a special order for today.
1t is very close in the senate, but it is
generally believed it will fail there.
Women's suffrage amendment OF
the constitution, which passed the
senate so easily was the next matter
and after extended debate it was defeat
ed in the house.
The two cent rate bill came to an
untimely death in the house Friday.
At the opening Of the session Brown
moved its indefinite postponement.
Carroll the author and manager Of the
bill thoughtlessly moved to table
Browns motion which was done carry
ing the bill to the table with it where
it requires two thirds vote to raise it.
Just what action will be taken is not
certain but it is likely that an attempt
will be made to amend the two cent
proposition into the Glass bill for
horizontal out of twenty-five per cent in
all rates. The uniform school books
bill has been up and down for several
days, and is still upon the calendar.
1t was defeated Friday and Saturday
but both times recOnsidered. 1t is a
special order for tomorrow. If passes
it must be without the emergency
clause and that will leave the present
law in force and new five year contracts
will be made in June.
Wednesday neXt-the 20 is the last
day upon which bills may be introduce
ed without permission.

GONE TO THE SEAT

Congressman Philo Hall at Washington Where He Will be

A CHOSEN CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE
And One Possessing the Ability to Command the Admiration

Saturday morning Hon. Philo Hall
departed for Washington, ID. c., where
on March 4th he will take the oath Of
office as congressman from South
Dakota. The REGISTER believes that
through the election OF our worthy
tOwnsman not only BrOokings, but
the state Of South Dakota and the
nation as well, will, during his term
Of Office, become convinced that in
him they have a worthy exponent
fearless and tireless worker in behalf
of the common people OF which he is
proud to be numbered.
Seventeen years ago, when PhilO
Hall entered in business here in
BroOkings and soon after became
identified in politics, his friends were
not long in finding him to be a young
man Of sterling qualities. In what
ever capacity he has served the people
he has proven himself worthy of the
trust they had in him. During these
years he has steadily gained prOmi-
nence and the implicit confidence of

his people until at the present time he
holds one OF the most important posi-
tions his people have to offer a favorite
son, and that he will give good account
Of himself there is no doubt. His
thorough knowledge OF law, keen
insight into all matters which are OF
vital interest to the people and his
Oratorical accomplishments as we'll
will certainly cause statesmen from
other localities to take him into their
confidence and we believe that South
Dakota will have in PhilO Hall the
best representative ever elected from
the state. This we say without any
discredit to those who have preceded
him or to his present CO-wOrkers.
In his position Congressman Hall
will be able to secure many good
things for his state and it may chance
that his home town will realize some
thing substantial because OF his
earnest work in her behalf. 1t is GER
tain that he will not miss an oppor-
tunity to put in a kind word whenever
circumstances warrant it.

OF All in Attempt to Bring AbOu
Proper Drainage.

it has been estimated that the crops
on $4,000 acres of land tributary to
this city have been partially or totally
destroyed by an excess Of water the
past four years. After making a
somewhat careful examination ! am
satisfied that this estimate is a very
conservative one. A continuance OF
this will not only impoverish the
owners of the land, but will be very
serious menace to the business in
terests of the city, for it is on the
surrounding country that the city
depends. Its prosperity is essential
to the prosperity OF the town. | am
satisfied that large part Of this land
could be protected against loss OF
crops by the judiCiOus expenditure OF
q small part OF one years loss.
Almost everywhere there is a sufii-
cient fall for straight bitches to pre-
vent floods, or to carry OFF the water
before it has had chance to do much
damage to the land.
All seem to be agreed that the first
thing to be done IS 70 stralghten the
river. For this purpose committee
OF five has been appointed. Their
work will be difficult at the best and
at times discouraging, but a hearty
cooperation OF all interested will
enable them to accomplish good
results we hope, at comparatively small
expense. 1t is the purpose OF this
article to ask for this cooperation.
Without it little can be done, and the
committee has been instructed to place
the work in the hands of the county
commissioners il their plan fails.
The objection to this is the intricacy
Of the law, the expensive oversight,
surveys and advertising required.
The commissioners OF one county
visited in Minnesota are putting
800 900 into one ditch, and several
millions OF dollars will be spent the
coming year to drain the lands OF the
state. At present these lands are OF
no value, when drained they will be
valuable. When our drainage is COM
plete it will be possible to make good
roads across the low lands, leading to
this city. Without drainage good
roads are impossible.

PIERRE, Feb. lS.-The Agricultural
College was represented during the
week by President Slagle, and Profs.
Wilson, Hansen and Mathews. They
appeared before the committees and
spoke for the new dOrmitOry and mann
tenance funds.
Prof. Hansen addressed a large
audience on Friday evening IN the
hall OF the House Of Representatives,
giving an account Of his last trip
abroad and upon Saturday evening he
spoke at a banquet given by the
scandinavian members Of the legls lat
ure.
Senator Jenkins bill changing the
name of the Agricultural College to
south Dakota College Of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts has passed the
Senate.
The house delegation unanimously
supported the bill for the election OF
county commissioners by districts,
which is the only political measure
which has been before the Legislature
this week.
Messrs Heffernan and Simonson
voted for the Anti-treating bill and
Mr.. MattesOn opposed it. All three
opposed the Equal suffrage amend
ment.
The week Just passed has been an
important one in legislative affairs
and several measures ofthe first interest
have been disposed Of, indeed Tuesday
last was a day somewhat remarkable
in legislative annals and old timers
say they have not before known go
much OF high importance to be done
= -, 10 aS aPPOmnl1S he'd
by the house on that day.
The session was devoted chiefly to
consideration of Senate bills on third
reading. The reciprocal demurrage
bill which passed the senate before
the recess and which has been the
subject OF much debate and many
doubts was early on the calendar.
Whittemore of Hamlin, author OF the
house bill on the same subject was
manager and he presented the subject
in a strong and logical address. He
secured several important amendments
to the senate bill, one providing five
dollar per day demurrage against the
shipper who orders a car and then does
not useit, and another more important
still requiring the railroads to make
annually to the railroad commission a
sworn itemized statement OF all de-
murrage paid or received, Though
there was some question in the minds
of all as to whether or not the railroads
may cover rebating to favored shippers
under the demurrage charges it was
deemed wise to pass the act, upon the
theory that two years trial would
discover its strength and its weakness
es and the next legislature could act
with the wisdom OF experience. The
bill wilrprobably not affect cars order
ed for interstate commerce but most
likely apply to local business only,
Following next upon the calendar
after reciprocal demurrage came the
capitol building bill. This had passed
