LEGISLATIVE EXTRAvAGANCE AND TAXATION

teady OuocINcuy was hSNSi ucictOAVA'
uecessary,--the fnaneiers of the Craw
ford regime are not satisfied with this
constitutional limitation upon the pow
er to levy taxes. They want it en-
tirely removed, and as the first steI
in that direction the legislature Of 1907
passed the following resolution to sub
NIT to the electorate the question OF

Be il resolved by the Senate of
the State of South Dakota, the

Sec. /. That at the next general
election in this state the following
amendment to Article XI of the
constitution of the State of South
Dakota, which is hereby agreed to,
shall be submitted to the electors
Of the state for their approval.
That Article XI of the constitu-
ton of the State of South Dakota
be amended to read as follows:
Sec. /. The legislature shall pro-
vide for raising sufficient revenue
to defray the ordinary expense of
the state by an annual tax, as near
ly uniform from year to year as
practicable. And for the purpose
of paying the public debt, the leg
islature shall provide for levying
a tax annually sufficient to pay the
annual interest and principal Of
such debt within ten years from the
final passage Of the law creating
the debt:
In other words, they want the only
barrier to unrestricted taxation thrown
down so that the state board may levy
any sum necessary to meet Legislative
without going through tn;
form of legislative authorization. Ar
ticle XI which it is proposed to amend
limits the levy to two mills for genera
purposes and two mills for deficiencies
the latter to be specifically authorized
by legislative enactment.

Baseball Notes

Griffin, San Francisco's new Texas league
pitcher, breezed in from Waco yesterday morning
and warmed up with the boys. He is likely
looking lad and will be given chance on the
slab in day two.
Little Lewis twisted his ankle while sliding to
first base in the sixth inning and another cripple
added to 0akland's already long list. Poor
old Van had to jump out the center field job,
though he is in no shape to be in the game.
La Longe was there With a pair of hits again
a single and double. -ffe had one grand chance
TO break up the game with man on second and
third and two down in the seventh, but bit three
chunks out Of the ozone. However, he has done
enough damage to- the Seals thus far.
Billy Hogan and Bill Wright. two of the crip
pied Commuters, probably will be back in the

gan may go back 10 third and In this event
Miller would be benehed for while. While Van
is under the, weather, Cook is sure Of steady
job in the oUtield.
