NEWSPAPER MEN ARE HIT
Bill Bars Editors From
Making Contracts With Rail
a for Mileage.

Pierre, Jan. 14.-Special to The
Reput lican.-The senate committee
on rail roads this morning held its
first meeting and considered Byrness
a%nti-pass bill, which will probably
be reported back to the senate Tues
day and given a second reading, in
which case it will pass that body
the following day. 1t contains the
material clause Of the Interstate
law, in which newspapers are barred
FROM making exchange contracts
With railroads. The question was
raised whether such a law could an
null contracts already entered into
between publishers and a railroad
company. 1t is a hypothetical ques-
ton involving the point today, but
several prominent lawyers are unani-
nous in the opinion that a contract
which was made the first of this year
upon an advertising exchange basis
and to be paid for in mileage, good
only within the state, could not be
annulled by an act of the legislature
embodied in law. 1t is undoubtedly
too late for contracts to be made
now, as the bill will Undoubtedly
pass and become a law within ten
days, with the emergency provision
attached. 1t is considered some one
has blurdered or newspaper men
have been derelict in their v
interest.

OF a general nature and the exercises
were brought to a close by singing a
national hymn.
The flag is a very large one, loxls
feet, and it was unfolded ito the
audience when the last song was
given and Comrade Dix proposed
three cheers for old glory.
In the spring a tall flag staff will
be erected on the school grounds and

tive Glass presented a primary cleo
tion bill; a bill requiring reports Of
political campaign expenses TO be
made by specified officials; a bill
providing penalties for campaign
contributions by corporations, and
an anti-lobby bill. The reciprocal
demurrage bill was presented by Mr..
Whittemore.
In the senate Messrs. Dillon, Cook.
Byrne and Jenkins presented like
bills, witch the addition of a fellow
servant act and the two cent rate
bill. A number Of minor measures
were presented, With probably the
largest list OF bills ever presented on
a first day, forty bills and resolutions
coming in. Among the resolutions
was n to memorabilia congress to
repeal the lumber tariff ana another
to provide for the election of sena-
tors.
In the senate a number Of commit
tee clerks we're named: Fred
Kittenbiel of Grant, on agriculture;
j.. F. Armstrong, of Faux, on
appropriations: III. Schaneke of
Yankton, on the judiciary; N. j.

being by Glass in the house, to grant
the state assessment board greater
powers on the assessment of railway
property. Jenkins in tie senate
introduced a bill changing the mode
of taxation from the uniform to

sible to get them all through with
emergency clause attached to put
them into effect at once.
Among the principal hills intro
duced in the house, one was by
Hebal to raise the minimum price
for state school lands from $40 to $50
per acre. Following the recommen-
