Attorney Generals Opinion,

A special from Pierre under date of
April II, says: The citation of the op-
inion of Attorney General Pyle in re-
gard to the power of school boards to
make contracts beyond the terms of the
individual officers forming such board,
has called ont swarm of inquiries dir
ected at Attorney General Clark, as to
just what his holding is under the pres
ent condition in South Dakota, where
most of the school boards are cut off in
their entirety, by the provisions of the
last school law. Attorney General
Clark has been looking into the matter
and will have to hold contrary to opin-
ion of Attorney General Pyle, which was
made several years ago. Mr.. Clark
holds in effect that a school board is a
continuing body, even though from any
cause the membership is entirely chang
ed at one time. That as such continu-
ing body it can contract for a teaching
force for period which goes beyond
the official life of the members of the
contracting board, as the board of itself
continues regardless of its membership.
That most of the authorities hold that
such a contract for teaching force for
a period which goes beyond the official
life of the members of the contracting
board, as the board of itself continues
regardless of its membership. That
most of the authorities hold that such
contract, even if made for the purpose of
cutting new board out of that privi-
lege, can be enforced if it is shown that
t he teacher was an innocent party in the
Transaction and that under the present
conditions in South Dakota the school
boards would be working in the best in
te rests Of the schools in every way by
making their contracts when teachers
are available.

South Dakota Rates Reduced.

Residents Of the western part OF South
Dakota and shippers in general who
send goods to this part of the state will
be greatly benefited by a new schedule
of freight rates which was adopted by
the State Board of Railroad commission
ers at meeting held in Sioux Falls last
week. The entire reduction in freight
rates in western South Dakota made by
the board range from 10 to 43 per cent
on merchandise classes, and will show
an average reduction of Is per cent on
such classes On immigrants moveabies,
on distance of 300 miles, the rate on
car load lots is reduced from 43 cts. per
hundred pounds to IN cents per 100
pounds, or an average reduction ofabout
so per cent. The new rate based on a
distance of 500 miles, which perhaps is
tho greatest distance freight can be
hauled from east to west in South Da-
kota, it shows a reduction from 76 cents
per hundred pounds to S5 cents per hun.
dred pounds on immigrant goods.

Petition Probably Defeated.

Last Thursday there was something
doing in Buffalo Gap. A petition was
being circulated to organize township
six south, range east, in which Buffalo
Gap is situated, into a civil township.
1t came as a surprise to most of the peo-
pie, as it was a matter that had not
been discussed or even thought of but
by few, but it wasn't long until the
object in view came to light Under
the law which goes into effect July lst,
no license can be granted for the retail
sale of intoxicating liquors except in in
corporated towns or cities where the
people can vote "wet" or "dry." As
Buffalo Gap has no town organization,
the plan was conceived to organize into
civil township, and in this manner
bring the license question to vote. In
order to do this it would require petit
ton to the county commissioners con-
tanning the names of a majority of the
voters of the said township of not less
than twenty-five. A remonstrance was
started against organizing into a civil
township, and the opinion expressed by
those who signed it was that it was
something they didn't want at this time
especially without giving the matter
more consideration. And above all it
was not thought to be a good business
proposition to foster on the people an
organization with its attending ex penses
that they could not now see was neces-
sity, just to vote on the question of wet
or dry" 1t is not known just how many
signers the petition contained, but those
who would not sign either, and those
who took their names off the petition
but did sign the remonstrance, and sew
ersl who expressed desire to sign the
latter if they were here, compared with
the vote in the above described district,
would indicate that the petition was
far short of even the twenty-five. 1t ia
safe to say the matter will not be acted
upon at this meeting of the board.-Re-

Primary Law 10 Invalid.

Auditor Mclaughlin yesterday morn
ing received telegram from Pierre,
stating that the supreme court, before
which had been heard, on an appeal
from the circuit courts decision, the
mandamus case of BaIlinger, socialist
candidate for county treasurer, against
County Auditor Mclaughlin to compel
the latter to accept the filing of the Bal
linger petition without the ices required
by law, had reversed the decision of the
lower court. The supreme court decid-
ed that 1t was not necessary to pay the
fee required by the primary law, there
by reversing the decision handed down
by Judge McGee before whom the case
was heard in the circuit court. The de-
cisloD, however, does not affect the other
provisions of the primary law, and they
are still in force and effect, and will be
unless the court decides in favor of the
contentious of the prohibition party,
which will be heard on the 9th of the
present month.
Under the new law the greater part
of the costs of holding an election would
have fallen upon those aspiring for Of
flee, and the general taxpayer, would
have been relieved of the greater part of
the expense attendant upon an election
and the preceding primaries, but under
the decision the Office seeker will be re-
leved of the burden. II means just a
little more taxation, whereas, had the
law been found good and valid, the
chronic Office seeker would have been
compelled to share with the people the
expense of holding an election.
The decision was written by Judge
Honey and though the opinion does not
cover filings for nominations on the state
ticket, it foreshadows what will be done
when that question comes up in the
prohibition case next week.-Pioneer-
Tunes.

Eight Mill Limit Unconstitutional.

The supreme court of the state, says
the Pioneer-Times, in case which was
before them for final decision, has de-
clared the eight mill Limitation of coun-
ty levies, for all purposes, to be uncon-
stitutional This will exercise materi-
al effect on taxation in all parts of the
state and seems to give the county CON-
missioners latitude that is boundless.
1t may perhaps be determined that with
the annulling of the present law, the
former statute will be brought back in
to effect, in which case there will still
be limitation on the extent to which
a county may 60 in the matter of taxa.
ton.
Under the present system the amount
Of taxes levied for all county purposes
could not exceed eight mills on each
dollar of the assessed valuation of the
property in the county, and this includ-
ed the amounts to be raised for road and
bridge purposes. The state taxes were,
of course, over and above this 8 mills.
The method pursued consisted of receiv
ing from the county auditor before the
fall term of the board, estimates of the
amount necessary to operate the county
affairs for the coming year. The asses
sors then got to work and placed valu-
tion on the property, personal and real,
in the county and the levy was then
made according to that valuation, but
the tax for county purposes could not be
greater than eight mills on each dollar
of the value of the property, thus assess
ed. If there is no other Limitation to
fall back on, the estimates for a year
may run up to almost any figure and the
owner of property may be taxed up to
the full valuation of his property.
The decision of the supreme court
means that the railroads will now have
to pay that portion of their taxes that
they have contested for 80 many years.
The Northwestern will have to pay
about $50, 600 to the counties ofthe Hills,
and in Custer county the Northwestern
and the Burlington will together pay
about $l2,000

The record of fires in the state for the
months of February and March are not
as numerous as they were for most of
the months last year. The list only
shows forty-one for the two months.
The largest number were started from
defective stoves or chimneys, with only
i've in which gasoline is given as the
cause. Fifteen are charged to stoves or
chimneys, and two to carelessness with
hot ashes. Thirteen are given from un-
known causes, and the rest are from
explosions, electric wires, and prairie
fires. None are reported from care
lessness with matches for the two
months.

A delegation of young and progressive
Sioux Indians from the Standing Rock
and Cheyenne Indian reservations were
recently presented to the President by
Commissioner Leupp, of the Indian Bu-
reau. These Indians, many of whom
are well-to-do through their own ener-
gies, were in Washington to urge the
opening of at least half of the two reser-
vations which they represented to set
tlement and the allotment of lands to
them. If the bills providing for open
ing should 20 through Congress, about
3, 200, 900 acres would be put upon the
market, leaving about the same number
for the Indians.
