HOUSE BACKS HICKS PROTEST
AGAINST NORMAL EXPENSE
Pierre, S. D.-Hayes started things
by attempting to get his amendment
to the committee report a~bolishing
free range in the state. He wanted
Fall River, Custer, Pennington and
Lawrence to be left with free range
provisions. He was backed by Ire
Der, 'Sutley. Jones. Bentley and 9TH
ers. But Knight stood by his bill as
just, and stated that his crouch
against the tresspass of cattle on the
crops of settlers dated back O the
days when as a bare legged kid in the
southern part of the state he spent
his time keeping cattle off the crops
his father had planted. Bracket
objected to the amendment largely
on the ground that the people OF
Pennington county had voted down
free range in that county last fall
and he did not believe in forcing it
back upon them again this soon after
they had expressed themselves
against it. The minority report was
voted down. The first appropriation
bill up on Wednesday asked $55, 900
for the Spearfish normal. Hicks op-
ened his opposition to any %appropria-
tions for buildings at the normals on
the ground that the state cannot af-
ford such expenditures. He said it
was the duty of the state to care for
the institutions only SO far as the
money is available for that purpose,
and no further, and that he would
oppose all such measures for the nor
mails. and Cranston took the ground
that they are asking too much. Tsch-
arner and Knight stood for the appro-
priation. but it went down with only
The next was 100000 for an adj
m%inistration building at the agricul-
tural college, which went down on a
vote without argument. House bill
121 was then passed locating a state
experiment farm at Vivian, Lyman
county: and this was followed by the
passage Of house bill $50 appropri-
ating $4,000 for repairs at the uni
versity.
Pierre, S. D.-The opposition to
the special appropriation is today
swallowed up by the eagerness of the
opposition to the immigration depart
men bill passed yesterday. To vital
that bill it is necessary to secure
addition to the appropriation bill
to finance it for two years. The op-
position to it is offering to trade in
any way in order to cut out this ap-
item, which was placed
in the general bill by the Senate last
night.
Already the opponents are prepar-
ing referendum petitions and having
them printed, for the purpose of
carrying the immigration law to the
people.
The special appropriations for
Normal, and the 100000
building for the state agricultural
college, and the special items for the
state fair, have all passed. The lat
ter include $4,000 for the purchase
of so acres of additional ground, S.
900 for a horse barn, and $4,000 for
~artesian we'll and sewerage sys-
=
House bill 6S, a paving bill for the
cities of the state, passed the Senate
The House has over 80 Senate
bills to dispose of before it is ad-
by time limitation tonight,
and the talking still goes on. The
Senate will mark time the rest of
the day and night, waiting for the
House to finish.
STATEMENTS ARE
LEFT FOR THE NEWSPAPERS.
Pierre, S. D.-The fights of the
day in the house were numerous, be-
ing over the general appropriation
bill and immigration department
the Richards primary election
bill thrown in as extra trouble. On
The general appropriation bill the
question of a stenographer for the
treasurer's Office was fought over
again, as it vas two years ago, but
his time If went into tho hill Tho
