Appropriations for 1908 More Than
100000 Under Those for 1907.
Probably no question has been more
discussed the last few weeks than that
of the amount Of appropriations which
were made by the last legislative ses-
sion. In that line a thorougs search
of the session laws OF 1907 shows that
the appropriations for 1907 as shown
by the record were 81 1856. 100. 40, while
those for 1908 were S937,O47, making
a total for the two years Of 1929
S07.40.
These figures do not include the
conditional appropriation Of 5000, 900
for h state capitol building, which
is to become available in December OF
next year in case it is required, nor
does it include the $1,000 for the
Irvine plant.

BANNER YEAR IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Total Value Of Crops Last Year Is Es-
tirnated at SIG. DOC. 600

W. H. Smith, auditor for the Van
Dusen Elevator company, states in his
report that South Dakota has harvest
ed the most valuable crop she has
ever raised. On account Of the ia
vorable weather, the good roads and
the right prices, a greater per cent of
the 1907 crop has been delivered than
in any previous year for some time,
with the exception of corn.
According to the December crop re-
port of the government South Dako,
ta's 1907 crop was:
Spring Wheat-2.2OO, 900 acres:
yield, 10 bushels: total. %, o 900

bushels; total, 47,175,Oo bushels: av.
erage price, so cents, making a total
value of $23,5S7. 500.
These various amounts bring the to-
tai value OF the South Dakota crop to
$S5,671 $50. Besides the value of the
grain the state raised $63S 900 worth
of potatoes, according to the govern
ment report, and the hay crop is val
ued at $3,S50,000.
Mr.. Smith makes the following esti-
mate OF the amount of grain still in
the farmers hands, which will be mar
heated before the season is over.
Spring wheat, 5,61D,000 bushels:
durum, 1870, 900 bushels; oats, 1872
900 bushels; barley, 1.S62, 600 bushels:
rye, 10000 bushels: flax, 100000 bush
els; corn, ~S.740.O0O bushels.
Although the number of bushels did
not reach the amounts of former
more than made up for this deficiency.

Looking backward through their
history Of nearly %thirty-two years,
members of the Society Of Black
Hills Pioneers, g~ray-haired and feeble,
their ranks greatly thinned by the
hand of death, rose almost to a man
at the eighteenth annual meeting and
voted down a proposal to amend the
constitution and accept as pioneers
those who came to the Hills In 1877.
The old '"seventy-sixers" are jealous
Of their honor and spurned all offers
of financial assistance through the in
crease of membership by the addition
of late corners. All of the men and
Ome who came to the Hills in 1877
and there are many - have been
working for some time past to become
members of the society, but the senti-
ment of the meeting was plainly

men and women who now are scatter

WILL PASS UPON LAWS AT POLLS
South Dakotans to Have Chance to Vote Direct on Statutes
Laws Will Not Be Officially Published Until
They Appear on Ballot.

The people Of the state will have
their first opportunity at the election
this year to pass upon laws for them
selves, and for the first time since
the initiative and referendum was
grated upon the constitution Of the
state it will be put to practical use.
The result will tell just how far the
people appreciate direct legislation,
when it comes to them as a condition
instead of a theory.
All the laws to be passed upon will
be printed upon a ballot with the con-
stitutional amendments, M while
most of them are short, there is n
long one, that providing for local op-
ton by counties of the state instead Of
by cities and towns. This law was
presented to the legislature through
the initiative. and now goes to the
people for a vote. It's principal provis-
ions require a local option vote in
the different counties of the state, and

granting of liquor licenses, the cities

censes, regardless of their desires in
that direction. In case a county votes
in favor of license, the towns within
that county a yet exclude the sale
of liquor within their borders. This
gives the a~nti-license people a double
chance, one to make a county fight,
and, if they lose On that, to make their
fight in the towns within the county.
The other laws which will be placed
before the people are the divorce law,
which is changed to require a resi-
dence of one year In the state before
beginning suit for separation, the only
exceptions being where the alleged
cause of divorce occurred in the state,
in which case but six months is re-
CURED.
Another is the law to absolutely
protect quail from hunters until 1912.
by which time it is believed they will
have secured a hold in the state suf-
ticiently to allow them to be hunted

The third one is the law prohibiting
Sunday theaters and shows of any
kind and Sunday baseball in any game
where a fee is charged for admission
to the game. This provision was de-
clared by it's i%ntroducers to have a

WANTED! C0NVICTS ONLY

The last legislature appropriated
the sum OF $4,000 for the erection Of
the buildings necessary to carry on a
binder Irvine manufacturing business
at the Sioux Falls penitentiary. The
proposed plant will be conducted with
convict labor. In accordance with
the action OF the legislature the neces-
sary buildings now have been con-
structed at the p%enitentiary.
An appropriation for the purchase
of machinery also was made by the
legislature, but 1t is not believed the
machinery will be purchased and in
stalled until after the next session OF
the legislature. Whether an effort
will be made to place the Irvine plant
in operation before the expiration of
the contract for supplying shirts by
the pe%nitentiary shirt factory Is not
known. The contract for the manu-
facture OF shirts was originally for a
period of five years and yet has nearly
three years to run.
Both institutions cannot be MAIN
tanned unless the twine factory is run
at a low minimum. For instance, there
are a total Of 1877 prisoners in the pen
itentiary at the present time, which is
about the high water mark since the
United States prisoners were removed

Kan. OF this number, approximately
1O5 are at work daily in the shirt fac
tory.
Then there are sixteen employed in
the kitchen; on the penitentiary farm

ings. These, with the sick and Grip
pied, make up the full quota of 1877,
there would be no available con-
victs to work in the twine plant II it
was placed in operation at once.
1t is estimated that it will require
sixty-f1ve men to operate the Irvine
factory, even at a minimum capacity.

Besides the direct laws which are

but again Is being presented. 1t has
for it's purpose the increasing Of the
salary of the attorney general of the
state from $1,000 to $500, putting
him on the same basis as other state
officers so far as salary is concerned.
Is Radical Departure.
The other is one which purposes =
radical departure in the constitutional
provisions regarding taxation in the
state, and is the amendment proposed
to article II OF the constitution, re-
lating to revenue and finance. AS the
constitution stands at the present
time the tax levies of the state are
limited to 2 mills annually for ordi-
nary expenses. with 2 mills for de-
ficiency expenses, whenever SO author
lied by the legislature. Two mills an
nually for an interest and sinking
fund, to wipe GU any bonded indebt-
edness of the state, making the high
est possible levy in any n year for
state purposes 6 mills on the dollar.
The amendment proposed to this SEQ
ton is to cut off all limitation both or
levies for general purposes, and for
bond interest and sinking purposes.
making the limit 80 much as may be
deemed necessary
The present section Q, which pro-
vides specifically for the assessment
of corporate property as nearly as
may be by the same methods as On
other property, is cut out entirely.
The present section 4 is cut out en-
tirely. This provides for taxing mon-
eys, credits. investments and bonds,
stocks, joint stock companies; for tax
ing money loaned effects and dues OF
all descriptions of all banks and OF
all bankers, so that all property en-
ployed in banking shall always be sub
ject to taxation equal to that imposed
upon private property. All that pro-
vision is cut out. and provisions for in
heritance and income taxes are in
serted in its place.
Section 6 is amended to extend tax
exemptions to church ~parsonages and
residences Of heads of sectarian
schools.
These are the changes proposed, in
substance, and are what the people Of
the state will be called upon to ap-
prove or reject at the next election.
