calculation is based on some estimates
and the prohibition leaders say 1T is
possible for the prohibition majority
to reach $1,000 a close estimate of
the vote would give prohibition ma

Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1908-11-20

IT is reported that the promoters of
the county option idea will insist on
putting the question to vote of the
people again in 1910. While we
doubt the judgement of such move
in the face of the rt cent defeat, it is
clearly within their rights if they
choose to do So. The INDEPENDENT
would suggest that there are other
ways in which the cause of t. temperance
may be advanced and the sale of
liquor restricted. A change in the
law relating to the sale of liquor by
druggists would help amazingly. As
it now stands, the druggist can sell
on a doctor prescription. Physicians
are constantly importuned 10 write
prescriptions for liquor for medicinal
purposes, and, Notwithstanding con-
tinual refusal in many cases, and, in
others, the mixing of drugs with the
liquor to make it unpalatable, the
demand for Prescriptions continues.
The druggist may fill the prescription
in good faith, with intent to keep the
law in spirit and in letter, but the
sale has been made and the fact is
that nearly all purchases of this sort
are used as beverage. Here, then,
is an opportunity to improve the pres
ent law by so amending it as to stop
the sale of liquor by druggists. If
liquor is needed for medicinal pur-
poses, let il be handled by physi-
clan, and let the law require him TO
keep record of all liquor so used.
! There is no use in denying a license
to sell the stuff and then turn over to
the druggists right to part of. the
business without a license. IF ANY,
one thinks for moment that the sale
by druggists is small item, let him
take a walk through the alleys of any
live Dakota town and view the empty
bottles. The provision in the law
allowing druggists to sell liquor on a
prescription was sort Of compromise
at the beginning, and it is absolutely
wrong. The element of profit enters
into the matter, and so long as that
element cannot be eliminated there
will be many instances of a violation
of the spirit of the law. Such a
change would be welcomed by all
druggists, except those who desire to
handle the stuff for the profit, and to
those the privilege should be denied
| for the same reason that it is denied
TO the man who wants torun a saloon.

worth OF the company's stock, which
was cheap, largely watered, and APP
parently of but ought value, present
or prospective, changed hands.
Strangely enough this distribution
Tor acquisition of stock was confined
almost wholly to men closely affiliat-
ed with the then governing influence
in the state Considerable blocks of
it were sold to prominent officials, in
Guiding a United States senator and
other prominent officials. Small
blocks found their way into the hands
of numerous political workers over
the state who were loyal to that in
fluence. An ex. governor stepped out
of the executive Office into the posi-
ton of attorney for this very telephone
company. These things caused more
surprise at that time than they do
now
1t now comes to the surface in the
trial of this case that the Dakota
Central Telephone company was
given a charter by the Legislature of
1905 controlled by these gentlemen
who had the sagacity to secure so
much of it's cheap stock (and, fortu-
nately, it was the last one controlled
by them) which gives it the power
to build telephone lines on any high
way, or alley in the state, with or
withoutthe consent of the municipal
government. More than this: If a
municipality has granted limited
franchise this charter makes it, in
effect, perpetual 1t etfectually pre-
vents the building of cooperative or
municipal local lines without the per-
mission of the established monopoly,
because its victims can neither force
it to vacate nor to give another line
1 dlotdDCC tohbUStiOLS vi
1t can, under its charter, freeze out,
wreck and absorb local competitors,
and the people are powerless to pre-
vent it. That it is fully advised OF
the success of its scheming, and feels
securely intrenched in its power, is
manifest In its extortionate tolls, its
poor service and its insolence toward
the public.
Happily it is not too late to apply
the remedy. Let the legislature, next
winter, enact telephone law sim
liar to the connection and joint-rate"

pelling this and all existing telephone

HOW GOOD COMETH OUT OF EVIL.

1t is not easy for the citizens Of
Huron to accept the decision Of the
court in the telephone case with a
pleasant smile. 1t conflicts with our
sense of justice as much as with our
interests, yet it appears 10 be the law.
The writer has read carefully the
text of the decision and is constrained
to blame the law, not the court, for
the yoke which is CALLING our necks.
He can find no fault with either the
logic or the language of the decision.
One clause, the one which recites that
we want to oust the Dakota Central,
mot to make better contract with
some other, but merely to let some
citizen of Huron build telephone
SYSTEM reflects unduly on both our
fairness and common sense, but it is
warranted by the needlessly ex-
planatory and distinctly ambiguous
notice served on the Dakota Central.
The fact is that the city sought to
oust the Dakota Central in order to
construct municipal telephone
system, but of this the court appears
to have had no notice.
! But the decision, placing the city,
as it does, in a most unpleasant di-
lemma, is welcome for the astonnd-
ing disclosure it makes OF a we'll
nutured conspiracy against the public
welfare, at a time when it is still
within the power of the people to
thwart the scheme
The court sets wholly at naught
the franchise or permission to build
granted by the city to Zeitlow. The
Dakota Central company, as Zeitlow's S
assigns, could not acquire from him
rights which he did not possess, and
all his right, granted by the city, ter
minated, by the terms of the grant,
at the expiration of ten years.
But the Dakota Central, as we learn
from the decision, is in Huron by
authority of a special charter granted
to it by the Legislature of 1905.
| Right here we come in contact with
an interesting bit of state history
one which is both a revelation and a
warning.
Prior to that date Mr.. Zeitlow APP
peared to be about all there was OF
| the Dakota Central Telephone Co. In
an almost incredibly short time large
quantities a million dollars
