PASS MEASURE PROVIDING
DISTRIBUTION OF BILLS

If the house adopts the Cone "pub-
licity bill' passed by the Senate
Thursday, it will require the print
ing Of a larger number of legisla-
tive bills from the time the law goes
into effect. He provides that the
chief clerks of the houses and senates
shall supply all the state institution,
any public libraries; and the county
auditors of all the counties Of the
state with files of the printed legis-
lative bills for reference on the part
of any interested party. The secre-
tary of state saol on payment of ten
dollars, into the state fund. supply any
individual who so desires, complete
files of all bills; and for five dollars
copies of all bills which pass. This
would mean the printing Of enough
more of the bills to supply at least
the county officials; libraries and
state institutions, with the number
required and anticipate any demands
made upon the secretary of state.
In the discussion on the matter OF
disposal Of the funds secured by the
suit against the state of North Caro-
lima on the Shaffer bonds ABOUT ten
years ago, the same arguments of
past sessions were presented Thurs
day. The money was declared to be
tainted, and that it would pollute
anything which it touched. The ar
gument grew somewhat warm, but
Curtiss, who two years ago advocat-
ed the same course, finally secured
a favorable vote on the acceptance
of his committee report to turn the
cash into the state general fund and
and no longer carry it in the banks
of the state that were paying the
state two per cent on the fund and
lending it to the people at ten to
twelve per cent. This fund has been
lying idle nearly ten years now, and
has been a source of a fight at every
legislative session, as to the proper
method Of disposal of the cash.
ROAD BILL is ONLY
START ON NEW SYSTEM
Pierre. S. D.-While the road bill
adopted by the house Thursday af-'
ternoon, is far from what is desired,
by good roads advocates in the state.
it is a start at last in that direction,
and If the senate will accept the
house measures the state will have
a foundation to build future legis-
lation upon. The getting of the
start has been a long road. Session
after session has turned down bills
which looked toward the end Of a
good road system for the state, the
failure generally being in the house,
where the farmer element predomi-
mates. But they have finally got in
to line for the first move, and the fu-
ture will show that q good roads
o will be built on q foundation,
which will give the state roads in
which they al take pride. It will
probably NEAR several years Of legis-
lative effort before the weak places
are worked out Of the present bill,
but actual working will show what
is needed to give 1t more strength.
and once under way the move will
carry itself along to a large extent.

SENATE MAY SURPRISE ON
DAYLIGHT SALOON BILL

Pierre, S. D.-Some one is going
to be b%adlyifooled on the senate when
the daylight saloon bill gets out in
the senate. The friends of the
measure claim the necessary votes to
carry it as an emergency bill, as it
passed the house. The opposition
While admitting that the bill will
pass the senate in some shape, claim
that it cannot get through as an
emergency MEASURE; and that it will
come back to the house amended by
having the emergency stricken off.
In that case they promise to send it
to the referendum. The trouble with
the polls of both sides appears to
be that they leave too many doubtful
n e on their list which shows that
they are guessing on long shots.
The new bills were scarce Friday
and the house started the first move
looking to the beginning of the end,
by fixing the fifteenth of this month
as the last day for new bills, except
those of committees. The new house
bills ere PA, Mellette, appropriate
ing $4,000 for state farm at Cotton
wood; 215, Wagner, requiring rail-
way companies to put in farm side
tracks when the expense is met by
the petitioners; PIG, Parsons, chang
ing law as to assessment of drainage
expenses; 217, Parsons, requiring
publication Of itemized expense ac-
counts of drainage projects.
New senate bills we're: 164, Hoese,
regular hours of keeping open Offices
of county officials; 165, Perley,
amending articles of mutual insur-
ance companies, 166, Arneson, man
ner of organization of cooperative
companies; 1853, Wlman, defining a
fire proof building; 16S, Anderson
of Aurora, amending educational
laws; 169, Johnson, appropriating
$1,000 for furnishing new buildings
at Madison normal.

BART1NE DEFEATED ON
RIVER ISLAND MEASURE

Pierre, S. D.-The senate fight
Friday afternoon was over sand bars
teh Missouri which have grown to
where they may be called islands.
The fight was led by Curtis on one
side and Bartine on the other, and
ended in the adoption of the bill to
give jurisdiction of all such islands
to the east bank of the stream, which
was fought by Bartine to the last.
The principal actions Of the house
today was on railway measures, one
being the introduction by Wagner
of a bill to require railway COM
panies to put in farm side tracks
where towns are eight miles or more
apart. the cost to be borne by the Pc
titioners; and the other the posing
of the employers liability act, pat
termed on the national law. which
went through without opposition.

The North Carolina bond money

day afternoon with Curtiss urging

ably make that fund a closed issue.

ASK FOR DEMONSTRATION
ON ELECTRIC HEADLIGHTS
Pierre, s. Din the arguments
before the railway committees over
the electric headlight bill, the state
ments made by the representatives
of the employees, and the reprsen-
tativs of the roads were so directly
in opposition as to the effects of such
strong headlight on switch lights,
that Chairman Peterson. of the joint
committee proposed that the COM
mittee itself be given an opportunity
of deciding which was the correct
side of the prosition. He proposed
to the representative of the roads
that they bring to Pierre al engine
equipped with one of the electric
headlight, and give a demonstration
to the committee in the yards as to
its effects on switch light; and fol
low that with an engine equipped
with an ordinary oil headlight, both
to be inspected by the committee as
to what the real effects Ire The
representatives of the roaks asked
until Monday to decide upon this
proposition, and the committee is
waiting until that time before they
take any further action on the bill.

ASSEMBLY is BEHIND LAST
ONE IN BILLS PUT IN
Pierre, S. D.-While the present
session has not been bringing as
much grist to the mill as did the
session of two years ago, it has been
doing very we'll along that line. Yes
terday ended the first half of the
session, and the evening of that day
showed that $50 bills had been start
ed on their way for that half. For
the same time of the session two
years ago the number had gone to
AIS. While there is a difference,
the handicap is not so heavy that the
present session cannot yet get up to
the record of two years ago.
A number Of petitions are being
circulated west Of the Missouri with
more or less success, asking that the
legislature grant free range privi-
leges In that part of the state for
the winter months, and they will
very likely soon make their appear
ance. The opponents of such a move
are calling attention to the fact that
while legislatures of past years had
no hesitation in granting free
range" privileges on government
lands, that the attempt to grant a
stock owner the privilege of free
range" upon the land of an owner
other than himself would be a diff
ferent matter, and one which would
not stand any great amount of test
ing out, which they promise to see
is brought about il any such move
is attempted on the part Of the ses-
sion in response to the petitions be-
ing circulated.
