rate under Me bill as II now stands
il 6 per cent. No action was taken
on this feature.
An amendment also was agreed to
affecting the amount of circulation
which may be taken out on bonds Of
the various kinds applicable for such
purposes The bill provides that cir
culating notes may be issued equal in
amount to 80 per cent Of the market
value of any bonds deposited. The
amendment adopted adds the pro-
vision that the issuance shall not be
In excess. however, Of the par value
of the bonds. This II intended to
meet the criticism that certain securi.
ties might be inflated above par value
through the action Of spectators and
the committee believes the amend
ment will effectually eliminate such
danger.

The Rate Bills.

After the statements made in the
Waubay Clipper in regard to the Day
county members of the tenth session OF
the South Dakota legislature voting
against the passage Of the rate bill and
blocking legislation, being one of the
members, went to Mr.. Black with the
house journals and showed him where
we voted for every measure re incing
rates, and asked him to retract his false
statements. AS he has not done so
take this opportunity to vindicate the
members by actual proof from the
house journal of 1907, which is the best
evidence to be had.
On page 854 will be found the vote
taken on February 10, and shows where
the Day county members voted against
the motion that killed the two cent rate
bill This motion was made by Mr..
Carroll who appeared TO be acting under
instructions from his boss, Zoe /. Craw-
ford Mr. Carroll is now posing as a
candidate for lieutenant governor.
After house bill No. 80 was juggled
out of commission the insurgents sub.
stituted another body under the same
head with clause to turn it over to
the railroad commission giving to them
a privilege they already had. You can
readily see the consistency of the insur-
gent boss Sinking promise made to
the voters regarding rate reduction.
There is no question but that this
ex-lobbyist, who is now the chief, die
tated every bill that came before either
body of the last session and we members
know he did not intend to give reduc.
ton IN either passenger or freight rates
While we knew the purpose was to kill
the use of house bill 80 by turning il
over to the commission it was all we
had for their promise, but on page l07C
you will find the Day county members
voted for the bill.
Mr.. Price, of Yankton introduced q
bill for two and one.half cent fiat
rate which was referred to the com
mittee on state affeirs. A minority
report was handed in headed by al
insurgent, Mr.. lsenhuth, from Sphinx
county, who. through the whole term
was conspicuous for his automatic con.
formity to Mr.. Crawford's wishes when
ever he pulled the string. This report
was adopted by the insurgents, even
the speaker of the house and the insur-
gent members of the committee that
brought in q majority report recon-
mending that the "do pass" all voted
that it "do not pass" 1t was plain
that some one was pulling string.
Now on page 1857 of this journal will
be found the record of the Day county
members voting in favor of this bill
which would have given us reduced
rates within sixty days. Every record
in the journal shows that the Day
county members never failed to vote
for reduction in passenger rates and
proves the Waubay Clipper as mis-.
representing the facts.
