PRINTING BILLS COME HIGH.
Referended Laws Cause Big Expense
Account,

Mitchell, S. d., Nov. 18.--Since the
election bills have commenced to be
filed with the county auditors a great
howl has gone up all over the state
concerning the excessive expense that
has been incurred for the vote on the
laws that were referended and the
amendments to the constitution of
the state. In many counties the print
ing bills have reached large sums. The
referended laws and the amendments
to the state constitution were required
TO be published in three papers of the
county four weeks, and these made
about fourteen columns of solid mat
ter, and charged for at the legal rates

Aside from that the printing of the
ballots for the referended laws and
amendments entailed large expense.

county 1880, and this is one of the
smallest counties in the state. In
larger counties the expense would be
proportionately larger. The counting

Long Fast by a Dakotan.

Aberdeen, s. d., Nov. St.-Samuel
Henry Jumper assistant postmaster,
completed his twentyrSeventh day Of
complete abstinence from food. His
only refreshmeht has been mineral
water Owing to his sedentary occu-
patton, MI Jumper became quite
fleshy, and month ago, shortly after
observing his Goth birthday, he deter.
mined to fast in order 70 reduce his
flesh.
The experience was not entirely a
new one for hira, for upon three pre-
Vious occasions he had tasted for diff
ferent periods, the longest one being
eighteen days. This time he set nc
definite period to the fast but deter
mined to go without food as long as
he was well. He does not now know
| when he will resume the habit of eat
ing, though ii is probable he will take
his first square meal for four weeks
on Sunday.
Mr. Jumper has attended to his reg
ular duties at the postoffice, moved
about actively in all his customar.
avocations, and accomplished the pri
mary object of the fast by losing near
ly pound OF flesh daily. He mad
no attempt TO avoid the presence O
food, and usually sat down at break
fast with Mrs. Jumper, but refused Il
partake of the meal.
A party of friends returning from
hunting trip to Montana invited hin

Insurance Law Invalid.

Sioux City Journal The Nebraska
law regulating insurance rates with.
in the state has gone to join the bank
deposit guaranty law on the consti.
tutional scrapheap As in the case
OF the guaranty law the insurance sta.
| tute has been declared in violation
of the federal constitution.
The law now declared invalid was
enacted by the Legislature of 1909. It
declared 1t to be the duty of certain
state officers to fix the maximum
rates on premiums charged by any
fidelity or insurance company trans
acting business in the state. IL also
provided that any officer or agent of
such company violating the law might
be judged guilty of misdemeanor
There was provision for the revo-
cation of the charter of an offending
corporation. The law applied to for.
eign as well as domestic corporations
and its constitutionality was tested in
the federal court
The question in controversy, aC-
cording to Judge Munger, who heard
the case, was whether the law was in
conflict with the fourteenth amend.
ment, which provides that no state
shall deprive any person of liberty or
property without due process of law.
In his opinion Judge Munger conceded
that the liberty to enter into contracts
is not unrestricted, but is subject to
restriction under the police power of
the state. In regard to the insurance
business, his conclusion is that the
business is not of sufficiently public
nature to come under the police pow
er. Judge Munger goes on to say:
IF the state may fix the amount of
compensation for which an insurance
company may lawfully contract for
furnishing such insurance the state
may dictate the price for which all
other commodities shall be sold in
Guiding the price which may be paid
for labor This cannot be done. The
fourteenth amendment protects the
right of those engaged in purely pri.
vate business to fix the price at which
they will sell their services or com
modities."

The Amendment.

The constitutional amendment re-
lating to the franchise that was sub
mitted at the last election was defeat
ed This result emphasizes the disas-
ter that has come to nearly all the
measures enacted by the legislature of
1909 1t is probable that the work OF
no session in the history of the state
ever suffered such reversal in one way
or another. This amendment proposed
to compel foreigners to perfect their
citizenship before being allowed to
vote. II would put an end to voting on
a mere declaration of intentions to
become a citizen and this would re
quire residence of not less than four
years. A democratic legislature sub
mitted it and at the primaries the dem
ocrats were the only ones who re-
turned a majority against making 1t a
party measure. All the other parties
gave it a majority of their votes. 1t
was significant that during the cam
paign another measure put through
the last session was adversely dis
posed of by the supreme court This
was one establishing maximum rates
for life insurance companies. The
court held it was not a proper sphere
of legislation; that it invaded the
sphere of private enterprise and that
competition must regulate rates.
The wonder Is that in spite of the
character of the legislation of the last
session another democratic session
has just been elected Such action
could be justified had the republican
party been proving recreant to It's
trust. But none will deny, we think
that the republican session of 19O'
gave the state the largest amount o
good legislation of a kind that ha
stood the test of the courts, that eve
