REFUSE TO PAY FOR HORSES
KILLED FOR HAVING CHAMBERS
Pierre. S. D.-While the house
ground" al day Friday. 1t did not
turn out must grist of general inter-
est, devoting most of the time to
bills of more local than general Inn
portance. The bill to provide pay
ments for horses killed on account Of
being glandered, from the state
funds, started the usual argument ov.
'er this bill when it comes out at each
session. The present bill proposes
an annual appropriation OF $4,000
to be paid p%ro-rate on certificates
which may be held against the fund.
But it did not pass. A number Of
members had left. and others dodg-|
ed on the measure. leaving it barely
a majority Of friends. while It re-
quired two-thirds to get through. But
1t had new life injected into 1t BY q
notice Of a motion to reconsider.
which was made by knight.
In the discussion over the CLAN
ders" bill it was shown that in 1907
the number Of horses killed In the
state by order Of the board vas e33;
in 1908. it was 246; in 1909. 223;I
and in 1910. 33s. This would make
an average Of $50 for each year Of
that time. and at $50 q head which
is the maximum allowed for pay
ment in such cases. the bill would
reach $17,850 a year.
old SOLDIERS DO NOT
LIKE COMMITTEE BILL
Pierre, s. D.-The old soldiers are
up in arms. over Senate bill 1856.
which was introduced by the investi-
eating committee which went to the
soldiers home to look into conditions
at that institution. The bill provides
for a board Of control on which there
need be no old soldiers and for a SUI
perintendent who need not have such
qualification. They do not like this,
a little bit, but their main kick IL
on a provision of the bill which pro-
hibits the employment Of any OF the
members Of the home in or about
the place. This provision was placed
in on account Of the fact that the
committee found that this employ
ment Of some Of the old soldiers was
q constant source Of friction and 3eal-
ousl on the part Of those who did not.
secure these small Jobs. They thought
that II this cause OF friction were cut
out there might be . better change
sof keeping things running smoothly
at the home. But this provision On,
the old soldiers' claim 10 cutting Oh,
from their numbers the opportunity
to earn q little money for themselves
or their families and they will have
none Of It without q light.
