RULING FAvORs SALOONS.
Majority of 1hose Casting iShi'o's
Sufficient for Il License.

A decision of great interest TO n
saloon men Of South Dakota was
handed own by Judge George n.
Marquis. of the sixth judicial circuit.
The ruling holds that it Is not ncces-
eary to have a majority of all the
electors of a town or city In order To
issue a liquor license, but that a ma
jority OF all voters whoregister at the
polls and east a ballot is sufficient.
The case came up from q
small town near WATERFOWL. There
were SO votes cast. 40 Of which We're
for license. The temperance people
brought action to enjoin the
board from issuing a license on the
ground that A. was not a majority q
all the qualified electors of the pre-
cinct. The court held that the only
basis upon which the number OF
qualified electors" could be determin-
ed was upon the number of voters who
registered at the polls on the day of
the election.
The decision also holds that q blank
ballot upon the liquor question is a
vote against license. thereby declaring
"a license must have a majority Of
all votes cast i'm order to win.

Immense Amount of New Land Being
Broken Over the state.

Travellers on the line between Pierre

the heaviest crop OF that grain ever
raised In this part OF the state. While
the weather conditions have not been
very favorable to seeding operations,
every tit day has bee taken advantage
of. and "A large part of the seeding OF
small grain is done. But the small
grain crops which were looked upon
as the staples of the Missouri valley
for years are o. being used only
as "a side isuse of the main crops of
corn, fax and alfalfa, which are TAX
ing the lead. as they are looked upon
as more profitable crops than wheat.
While the weather delayed the seed
ing. it was not allowed to interfer
with the work OF the breaking out

be urine yer this year in this part
of the state will be largely in excess
Of the acreage in any one year since

6 SOUTH DAKOTA STATE NEWS 3
CAN GENERAL FUND BE USED?
Question VIII BE settled by Case | in
Lawrence County.

A test case Of interest TO every cnun-
tv I'm South Dakota Is To- tie uade at
DeaGwood. to determine whether the
county commissioners may use money
from the general fund for the con-
struction and improvement OF roads.
A well-deined movement mas hten
started to give Lawrence county Deter
roads. bat the attempt il hafnrered
by the fact that SO little money Is OBJ
tainable from the special road iund.
The good roads committee, through
y. r. Mason. suggested that the com
m~issioners draw on the general fund.
states Attorney John r Heffron. on
-equest. filed an opinion that il would
g unlawful to use the general fund
br road work, The road fund m"u
10 only $4,000 a year and is over
Grawn to the amount of $4,000. the
statute permits the commissioners to
levy on the ratio of 1000 to each
$500. 600 Of assessed valuation for road
purposes. and that additional sums
may be expended for building bridges
or roads. If ratified by q vote Of the
people, III Is further specified that the
towns through which any county road
passes shall keep it in repair.
Attorney Heffron called attention TO
the fact that the road levy Is made
only on property outside of the towns.
and that If the general fund IS used.
those in the towns would not only be
taking care of their W roads but be
required to share in the cost of the
roads in the country. 1t is further
contended by Mr.. Hebron that the Jaw
would not have required a vote on ad-
ditional appropriations if it was not
intended to limit the levy to 2 mills on
the dollar and keep the road expendi-
lures within the amount raised by
such levy.
Mr.. Mason. on the other hand. con-
tends that the 81, 1000 for each 100000
Of assessed property which the board
may appropriate for road work Is in
addition to the regular road levy. con-
sequently a test case will be brought
before Judge Rice, of the circuit court.

OIL company has announced a reduc-
ton OF ? cents per gallon on gasoline
in South Dakota The new law admits
into the state for sale a lower test gas
oline than formerly. This gasoline is
refined from western crude oil, and the
reduction is largely due to the de-
creased cost III transporting it to

that the lower test oil produces more
heat TO the gallon, and that 1t there
fore gives more heat. light or power
