TOTAL ABOVE $4,000, 900.

Appropriations for 1903 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 1926. 76O.4O, while
those for 1908 were $937,047, making
total for the two years Of $2.223,-
S0740.
These figures do not include the
conditional appropriation OF 100000
for the state capitol building, which
is to become available In December of
next year In case 1t is required, nor
does 1t include the $4,000 for the
Irvine plant.
The total valuation OF all classes of
property in the state as shown by the
report OF the state auditor Is $3.50, $50.
or, and Of this the corporate property
OF the state, including railroads, sleep.
ing cars, telegraph and telephone com.
panies. is $22,046,926, the rest Is upon

their provisions are before he goes
into the polling booth That failure
may have a great deal of effect upon
the number of votes cast aud the way
they are cast. The laws which will DO
upon the ballot will be so long that the
voter hardly will have time to read
them over, even hurriedly, within the
time he is allowed within the booth,
and many either will let them alone.
as something they know nothing
about. or else vote mo" to be on tho
safe side.
Besides the direct laws which arc
to be voted upon. there are two con-
stitutional amendments to be present
ed. One OF these was voted down.
but again is being presented. 1t has
for its purpose the increasing of the
salary OF the attorney general Of the
state from $1,000 to $1,000, putting
him on the same basis as other state
officers SO far as salary Is concerned.
10 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 IL Of the constitution, 10
lating to revenue and finance. As the
constitution stands at the present
time the tax levies Of the state are
limited to mills annually for ordi-
nary expenses. with mills for Do
ficiency expenses, whenever SO author
ICED by the legislature. Two mills an.
nually for an interest and sinking
fund, to wipe out any bonded indebt
edness of the state, making the high
est possible levy In any one year for
state purposes mills on the dollar.
The amendment proposed to this SEQ
ton Is to cut off all limitation both ON
levies for general purposes, and for
bond interest and sinking purposes,
making the limit 80 much as may be
deemed necessary"
The present section 2, which pro-
vides specifically for the assessment
OF corporate property as nearly az
may be by the same methods as on
other property, Is cut out entirely.
The present section 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 It's place.
Section 6 Is amended to extend tan
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.

The last legislature appropriated
the sum Of $4,000 for the erection Of
tho buildings necessary to carry on q
binder twine 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 penitentiary.
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

known. The contract for the manu-.
facture Of shirts was originally for q
period Of five years and yet has nearly
three years to run.

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 1t 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 theory.
All the laws to be passed upon will
be printed upon ballot with the con.
stitutional amendments. and while
most Of them are short, there is one
long one, that providing for local OPP
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 vote. Its principal provis-
ions require a local option vote In
the different counties Of the state, and
II county at large votes against the
granting of liquor licenses. the cities
and towns within its borders are cut
off from the granting of liquor H.
censes, regardless of their desires in
that direction. In case county votes
that county can yet exclude the sale
Of liquor within their borders. This
gives the anti-license people a double
chance, one to make county fight,
and, II 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 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-

w. H Smith, auditor for the Van
Dusen Elevator company. states in his
report that South Dakota has harvest

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-2,200.000 acres;
yield. 10 bushels; total. 100000
bushels; average price, So cents, max.
ing total value of s2O,9o0,000.
Durum-700,00O acres; yield, Is

erage price, 80 cents, making a total
value of sS,40o,0O0.

Corn. $685. acres; yield, 25.5
bushels; total. 47.175.OOO 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
$S5,671,250. Besides the value of the
grain the state raised $63S,000 worth
of potatoes, according to the govern
ment report, and the hay crop is val.
ued at $3,S50,O0O.
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, $4,000 bushels;
durum, 100000 bushels: oats, 1872.
900 bushels; barley, 1862 900 bushels;
rye, 10000 bushels; flax. 100000 bush
els; corn, S,740,000 bushels.
Although the number of bushels did
not reach the amounts of former
years, the farmers got prices that
more than made up for this deficiency.
