WAS DISCUSSED
Members of the City Council
Gather at Suggestion of

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Expenses Have Been Materially In
creased hy Establishment OF Addi.
tiOnal Fire Station in Lakcside--To
Report Monday Night.

All OF the aldermen met Satur-
day afternoon at tho City Hall at
the Request Of Alderman Fred Fox
to discuss the city budget for the
coming year, which will be APPROX
cd and recorded at the regular
meeting OF the City Council Monday
night, after ali necessary change;
are made. Alderman Fox presid-
cd at tie meeting and the appro-
priat'ons for the various city de-
partmenJS were estimated by the
several standing committee menu
bers. The recommendation of the
various committees will be made
tomorrow night at the Council meet
ing. .
It is expected that the appS0Dria-
tons for the Fire Department will
be much larger this year than in
any previous year, owing to the eS-
tablishment of an additional fire
station in Lakeside, increasing the
expense Of that one department ma
terially. It will probably be rec
derman Hudson Of the Committee
on Fire Department Affairs that
the salaries of Chief Tony Briner OF
the Fire Department and his as
sistant. F. p. King, be increased
He discussed this matter at the
last meeting of the Council Mon
day night. and the recommendation
was favorably commented upon at
that time by the various aldermen.
| The recommendation of Alderman
Hudson are that Chief Briner's
salary be increased TO S110 from
$50 and that the pay of the assist
{ ant chief be $50 instead of $50.
! The salaries are paid in city scrip
and when it is cashed it amounts to
several dollars less in each case.
There IS also probability of the

and Assistant Chief. Chief Stewart
now receives $40 per month and
Assistant Chief Francis $50 in scrip.
monthly. 1t was suggested at the
last Council meeting that their sal
| aries be increased to 1925 and 500
respectively. T4e may also be done
by the Council at its next meeting.
Mayor Toney has already expressed
himself as favoring more pay for
the four city officials who head the
! Fire and Police Departments. Sew
eral of the councilmen also favor
such a move, but there are two or
three who are reported TO be OPP
posed to any increase of pay IN any
of the city departments at this time
The annual report OF the Finance
/ Committee. submitted recently
showing the receipts and disburse-
ments of ;hc city for the past year,
shows thai tho Police Department
was almost self sustaining the past

nearly $4,000 and It's disbursc-

Rules.

whereas, it is the opinion OF the
State Board of Health of the State OF
South Dakota that the only safe and
sure preventative of smallpox is
vaccination, and that quarantine in
such cases is unscientific and OF no
avail in preventing the spread of this
disease. Therefore. be it resolved to
remove the quarantine from the pre-
misses occupied by smallpox as laid
down in rule 10 and IA.
Rule %. The local health officer
having knowledge of or having reason
to suspect the existence of smallpox
shall investigate and at once place up
on the house where smallpox exists a
sign setting forth the facts. This
sign is to serve only as warning to
those who may wish to avoid the
the house, and not as an indication or
quarantine. when the attending
physician considers the patient to
have recovered. he shall report the
fact to the local health officer, who
shall remove the warning card. The
patient must not leave the house I'M
til the warning card is removed.
Rule %. The apartments Occu-
pied by a smallpox patient shall be
deemed infected, aid when vacated by
death, removal or recovery, shall to-
gether with their contents, be thor
oughly disinfected under the super
vision of the local health officer.
Every physician shall Immediately
report in writing to the local health
officer, the name of every smallpox
patient under lis care.
Every physician shall report to the
local health officer the death of any
smallpox patient under his care with
in twelve hours thereafter.
The local health officer of any city,
village or township must report to the
county health officer all cases of small
pox occurring within his jurisdiction
within "a hours, and he to the Super
intendent of the State Board of
Health of South Dakota.
These regulations to take the place
of rules 10 and IA of rules and regula-
tions adopted at a regular meeting

The STATE
NOT BANKRUPT
Plenty of Money On Hand ln
Treasury
VIII Not Have To borrow and Tax
Rate Is Lower-Good Business
Management

The State Of Michigan is bankrupt and
the primary school money cannot be paid |"
That is the statement that 10 being sent
over the state, evidently under the drec-
ton Of the democratic state central COM
mttee There is not even a shadow OF
truth in the statement. The cash balance
in the state treasury last Saturday night
was 81 l.688,542.42. The November pri-
mary school apportionment will be made
as usual and every dollar Of the amount
due to the primary school fund will be
promptly RENTED to the county treasur-
ers. Not dollar has been borrowed by
the state treasurer, nor will borrowing be
necessary in order to meet state expendi-
lures. 1t would seem to be an unworthy
cause in more respects than one that
would need the assistance OF such abso-
lutely false statements concerning Mchi-
gan and the interests of our state as are
now coming from democratic sources
The fact, however that not one word of
truth is possessed by the statements will
bring far more loss than gain to the
sources from which they come.
The Michigan state tax rate this year
will be but S2.42 on each 81 900 Of val
uation. This is more than oae-third less
than the tax rate Of ten years ago. And
while this is true the taxpayers of Michi-
gan are receiving from the state treasury
about 100000 more tan the total
state expenditures. This fortunate situa-
ton is due to good business management
No other state IN the Unior can show
better results.

toned. 1t is not asserted that he is dis
honest his integrity is not assailed, 1t is
not claimed that he is unfathful; his
fidelity stands admitted.
The sole objection to his candidacy is
that he has had the office long enough.
He has learned what his duties are and
how to perform them hence it is time to
oust him and break in new and untried
man, and new and untred man is seek
ing the office Accordingly we have ex-
perence opposed to inexperience, and one
who has been tried and who has stood the
test pitted against one who is merely an
experiment. A business man hiring a
six dollar week stenogr apher would not
hesitate long in making a choice under
similar circumstances. Likewise those
persons who have largely to do with the
office Of county clerk have no desire to
test out the untrled when the experienced
can be had at the same price.
This office is not kindergarten, nor a
training school, nor an apprenticeship. 1t
is public office where business Of great
moment is daily transacted. In an office
of that character, the public should de-
mand the best service that can be had for
the money.
For the purpose Of creating predjudice,
some Of the opponents Of Mr.. Holbrook
have asserted among other things that
are not true, that the income of the office
is three thousand dollars per year. That
is that it only runs from fifteen hundred
to two thousand dollars per year, and out
of this amount must be paid the wages or
salary of all assistants. However, if the
income were three thousand dollars per
year, that would be all the more reason
for demanding high degree Of capacity
in this office. The same astute mind that
perpetrated the three thousand dollar sal
ositon, and urges it seriously, that if Mr..
Holbrook is possessed Of the ability that is
claimed. he is entitled to a better job.
Where would he get better job if it is
true that he has a three thousand dollar
income from this Officer II such is the
salary it is better job than that Of the
circuit judgeship, the Ionia postmastership,
the wardenship Of the reformatory or the
superintendent Of the asylum. and is al
most as good job as the governorship Of
the state.
o 1t will be observed that these arguments
are somewhat contradictory and inhar-
monious, but they are the best that can be
adduced.
Many instances might be given OF the
satisfaction that arises from doing busi-
ness with an experienced county clerk
and the dissatisfaction that is incident to

.'The District LEADER

Aside from the fact that The District
Leader" is equipped with the brightest,
snappiest chorus on the road and mounted
in costly scenic setting and costuming,
at the same time it has the heart interest
in the story itself that appeals to every
patriotic and fun-loying American. The
story deals with the vital living side of our
great commonwealth, namely politics, love
and sunshine. The strands are so clever
ly woven that the spectator is carried
from laughter and tears to tears and
aughter in the same breath. The author S
treatment Of the story is startngly fresh
and unconventional. This deeply inter-

theatre in Detroit.
