lies in the elimination of politics
from the office.
The supporters of Mr.. Robinson call
attention to the excellent results
achieved by the South Dakota society
in COMPARISON with what is being &C
complished in Iowa or Minnesota,
where mucb greater appr2pr atoms
are provided yearly, and those for his
torical work only. They point with
pride to the enormous collection Of the

STATE HISTORIAN
THE LEGISLATURE MAY PROVIDE
FOR APPOINTMENT BY
THE GOVERNOR
TO MAKE APPROPRIATIONS
Under the Constitution the State Will
Establish a Department EN-
bracing Its Statistics
History, Etc.

Pierre-Capitol hill rumors hint at
proposed legislation affecting the fu-
ture of the State Historical Society
and the Department of History. 1t
credenCe can be placed in these re-
ports, an endeavor will be made to
make the state historian an appointee
Of the governor and bring his depart
ment directly under the jurisdiction
Of the state. Efforts TO trace the
sourCe Of the stories fail to lead 10
any particular head, but the persist
enCy of the talk is worth more than
passing notice.
The objections to the present
scheme seem TO be that the state is
legislating appropriations for the main
tenance of a department that in reality
is a private institution. 1t is Contended
that the constitution requires the state
IA have direct supervision over any
department for which appropriations
Ae made-that the historical should
De no exception.
The department of history was es-
tat!ished in 1901. Chapter 1876 OF the
Session Laws define it. The secretary
Of the department is CHOSEN by the
executive committee of the state His
toriCal Society. The present sr1re arr,
Mr.. Doane Robinson. of Pierre, has
held hat position :inre the inception
Of the society and il Is under his
