Senator Perley has a bill %forbidding
the marriage Of the criminal, insane,
feeble minded, and the A~tubercular
and venereal deceased. A bill by Re
preventative Bentley Of Fall river
would establish a state experimental
farm in that county. The state owns
about 60, 900 acres in that county,
which would become valuable ii
farmed by modern dry farming meth
DDS. The Millet antelope bill, pro-
tecting that animal for all time, a
the first to pass both houses. A COM
mittee bill will recommend the APP
preparation of money to build an ex-
ecutive residence as recommended by
Governor Vessey. The Bigelow school
code, slightly amended from the form
presented to the public was intro
duced the last of the week. The leg
islature will probably adjourn the

SPECIAL nc THE LEADER: A re-
solution "a introduced Wednesday,
by Senator Jack Dalton of Pierre,
providing for the appointment OF a
committee to investigate our Ignite
coal possibilities. Another measure
is being prepared and will be pre-
sented to the legislature during the
next week providing for a state fuel
commission, to consist of the Cover
nor, Secretary of State, and State
Geologist, to serve without pay, for
the purpose of Investigating our
Ignite deposits, make Typographical
maps Of the same, and establish an
experimental brlquetting plant, after
the North Dakota model at Hebron.
Fifty thousand dollars is the sum
named to accomplish this. In one
way, this is the most important
measure before the legislature. The
United States Geological Survey
gives South Dakota, a hundred and
twenty five billion tons of Ignite coal.
In its natural state it is not a very
excellent fuel, but it can he very
cheaply combined into briquettes,
which burn to a white ash, and are
superior in heat producing qualities
to the best anthracite as thirteen is
to twelve.
This fine grade Of coal can be pro-
duced and layed down in the remotest
corner of South Dakota for five dol
lars a ton. Recent Investigations
show that u people burn $12, 900, 900
worth of anthracite per year. In
five years this fuel bill can be cut in
half by the commercial development
of Ignite briquettes. The east owns
the railways, and wants the long haul
for its hard coal. If the people of
South Dakota are ever to get cheap
fuel it must be by their own efforts.
Only fifty thousand dollars is asked to
begin a work which will save the
state five million dollars per year.
Proposed constitutional amend
ments have poured in thick and fast.
Senator Barti neof Oacoma proposed
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1911-01-20

one to increase the percentage OF
voters necessary to invoke the initia-
tive fromstive to twenty five percent.
Senator Hitchcock brought up the six
teenth (income tax amendment to
the United States constitution for
ratification by South Dakota. Re-
preventative Sherman of Sioux Falls
introduced an amendment giving
suffrage to m owning real pro-
p,rty, who fulfil the other qualii-
cations. .
Senator Wright of Beadle proposes
to require the payment of poll tax
thirtydays prior to election in order to
qualify. An amendment proposed by
Senator Gemmill of Canton would
abolish the soldiers home and state
charities and corrections boards, and
combine the functions under Il state
board of control of three members.
The voluntary state tax commission
will probably report in favor. Of an
amendment permitting the classif-
cation of property in order that an
equitable tax may be levied on each
kind, and (2) a permanent tax COM
mission, sitting all the tire, six year
term, three members, and with COM
plete power over assessment and
levy.
The Wagner-Walkes contest which
took up most of the time of the house
the first week was decided Tuesday,
77-22 in favor of Wagner, Democrat,
who retained his seat.
Abolishing has been the watchword
during the past week. Representa-
tive Helgerson of Mitchell would
abolish the state engineer and give
his function to the state surveyor,
and Representative Jones of Penn
ingtOn would abolish the state sur
veyor and combine his functions with
the state engineer. Senator Curtiss
proposes to abolish the scale inspect
or, and a house bill has been intro
duced abolishing the telephone in
spector.

committee, recommended by the
lgovernor in special message, will con-

Lutheran Choir Elects Officers.

AuI4Clou N1OAI ElCSIo OAAASCAo.
The Lutheran church choir after a
short rehearsal conducted their an
nual business affairs last Thursday
evening, electing the following Of
ficers: G. Lommen, president, Alvin
Isakson, secretary and G. S. Hanson,
leader.
During a short intermission, amid
the pleasant expressions Of all pres
emit, while refreshments we're being
served by a few of the ladies in be-
half of the Ladies Aid society, the
choir was encouragingly inspired
through remarks and instructions
given by a few of it's enthusiastic
members.
The hope Of this organization,
through it's work, is to attain some
level upon which it can feel assured
that harmony and enjoyment in all
respects may work in unison and thus
prove profitable and do much to up
lift our church music.
May Canton give encouragement to
music, whether vocal or instrument
al, in church or out of church. If
such things are helped along, they
will at all times succeed and very ex-
cellent results will be obtained.
Let us all be optimistic in this SO
that we may e the true worth and
good in m usic.
