POSTAL CLERKS NOTIFIED
Must vacate DormitorY and Quarters
at Aberdeen

Aberdeen-The railway mail clerks
of Aberdeen2 were surprised and a
little chagrined Saturday when It.
III. Faus, custodian of the federal
building here, received instructions
from the treasury deparement at
Washington to GUST the clerks from
their dormitory in the third story of
the building, and to dispose OF the
equipment of the rooms, including the
b~edsteads. Ever since the building
has been In use, the railway mail
clerks have occupied the third story
of the structure as sleeping apart
ments, class room where they could
pursue the studies required to keep
them up with the work OF the service,
and for a gymnasium. The purpose or
the government in ousting them at
this time is unknown, and is incom-
prehensible to those receiving the or
der, as the quarters utilized by the
mail clerks are needed for no other
purpose, and the prospective removal
of the United States land Office, on
the first floor, on April Is, will give
additional room, which, however, will
Immediately be used for the Aberdeen
postofice, which is at present cramped
for space. The railway mail clerks
running into Aberdeen are about six
ty in number, and they recently or
organized a branch OF the Brotherhood
of Railway Mail clerks, but this is not
believed to have had anything to do
with the order from the treasury de-
partment, and the only possible sur
mise in relation to the matter is that
the government contemplates locat-
ing some other branch of the public
service at Aberdeen, and desires to
quarter 1t in the rooms hitherto occu-
pied by the mail clerks.

VETOED Bills
GOVERNOR Wesley EXPLAINS
HIS DiSAPPRovAL OF THE
SEVERAL MEASURES
MAIL CLERKS MUST MOVE
The Government Has Notified Postal
Clerks to vacate Quarters in
Fedora! Building al
Aberdeen

Pierre-The veto of Governor YES
sey on House Bill 313, defining the
word CLOSED" in reference to a
saloon, is on the grounds that it
opens the way for keeping saloons OPP
ened on Sunday, regardless of the state
law prohibiting. He says: 1T would
seem to me that the object of the bill
under consideration is to avoid the
effect of the decisions Of the court,
and that the passage and approval OF
the bill would quite effectively set
them aside. Furthermore, it appears to
me that this bill is but IN entering
wedge into breaking up of the pres
ent very effective laws regulating sa-
looms. IL the keeper of a saloon is
allowed to enter his place of business
on Sunday, or after closing hours it
would be very difficult indeed for the
court to determine whether his pur-
pose there was legitimate or illegiti-
mate" Further he says that if the
law were approved it would put cor
slant temptation for violation of the
law before the saloon men, and the
present construction Of the court had
better stand.
In regard to his veto of Senate Bill
73, which attempted to apply the anti
discrimination laws Of the state TO
buyers as well as sellers, it is held
to have the effect of repeating chap
ter 191 of the laws of 1907 relating
~ unlawful discrimination. It's gener-
al provisions are also questions as
to what would result from attempting
to put the law into effect, and 1t Is
vetoed to save the law now in exist
ence. (This was known before the adj
journment of the session, but the
house voted down three different eff
forts to recall the bill from the gov
ernor for correction.)
The d~isapproval of House Bill "a
is on the ground of unconstitutional
ity in a number of it's phases. This
bill attempted to provide for the crea-
ton of small irrigation districts
through combinations Of land wner
It is held to be unconstitutional on
the grounds that it seeks to create
such districts a public corporation by
a department of the government; that
it attempts to impose upon the courts
the duty of creating and defining
boundaries of public corporations;
that it violates the constitutional re-
quirement as to exemptions from tax
alton in seeking to exempt its bonds
and right Of ways, bitches and fumes
from taxation; that 1t attempts to give
the courts power to ratify the valid
ity of a tax before the tax is laid;
and for numerous other asons
Attention is called to the fact that
before the beginning of work on
drainage projects in this state it was
necessary to secure a constitutional
amendment to base legislation upon,
and while it is suggested that the
new law would no doubt be of great
benefit if it could be carried out, that
the constitution stands in the way at
SO many points, that there is only one
way open to secure such legislation,
the n used by the drainage project
ors.

WooIey and Woosey

Pierre-When the Potter county
authorities succeeded in sending Mrs.
Hendrick and her son to Yank-
ton, as insane, they thought they
had gotten rid Of a couple of "unde-
sirable citizens" but after a short stay
at the asylum they were returned to
Potter county as sane.
After keeping them In the town
Jail for a few days where they would
have a warm place to stay, and were
fed. they finally agreed to hit the
pike If enough inducement were held
out, and they were presented with
$25 in cash, their COWS were round
ed up for them and hitched to their
crazy old wagons and they started
for the east alleging that they were
heading for Redfield. They promised
not to return to Potter county again,
but the rest of the state car expect
to see them at n time wandering
about with their cow team, looking
for a location"

ries 81 1900, 900. The same levy as that
OF the past two years. four mills per
year will bring larger revenues to
the state and enable the reducing OF
the floating debt of South Dakota. All
the state institutions required large
appropriations for maintenance. In
new buildings s27. 900 was ordered ex-
pended and in providing a needed
heating system, $40, 900 more.
The bill providing for a change In
the number of commissioners in COM
mission governed cities of the state
and providing also for a special cleo
ton to decide upon that change, is
optional with the cities Of the state
and they al expend the money neces-
sary for conducting such an election
If they see fit.
The bill providing for the leasing
OF school lands, dealt also with the
question of the investment of the sink
ing fund of the county also. 1t also
permits the investment of sinking
funds in warrants of the school dis
trict, provided, when so invested, 1t
shall earn 4 per cent. The employ
ers' liability law vas re-enacted. 1t
had been declared unconstitutional
by the federal court of appeals, but
it has now been reenacted to conform
to and follow the federal law.
The headlight law was re-enacted
with the same provisions as 1T formerly
had, and with 60 days given as the
time when it shall be complied with
by the railroads.
Gemmills caboose law, which was
enacted, requires uniformity in ca
booses, as to size and equipment ana
prohibits the use of box cars as ca
bosses, on railroads in this state.
The legislature created an immi-
grafton or publicity department for
the state and appropriated $17,000 for
the maintenance of that department
for two years.
The new bridge law provides that
county commissioners must advertise
for bids for every bridge which 1t
is desired to erect in any county in
the state, which will prohibit the
awarding of a contract for all bridge
work by the year or a period of years
to one bridge company.
The new law as to the placing OF
the names of candidates for office upon
the ballots was changed so that the
law determines the location and the
name of each candidate appears in
first place, in his respective division,
upon an equal number of tickets.
I think that after the people of the
state nave seen the new laws in opera
ton, they will feel that the legislature
did it's best with all the important
questions which came before it."

WOULD SAVE ROADS BIG sum

No man has been more In the pub
lie eye OF late than Louis d. Brandeis.
who not long ago declared that the
railways could save $1,0O0,000 a day
by proper and efficient management.
Mr.. Brandeis first came into promi-
renee In 1903, when as the head OF
the Public Franchise league of Boston
he was involved In the struggle over
the reorganization of the Boston gas
companies. Largely through his In
fluence legislation was put through
which permitted the ~unifcation Of the
gas companies on q unique principle.
The total capitalization Of the new
company was made the same as that
OF the valuation Of the securities of
the consolidated companies. The price
of gas was set al 80 cents a thousand
feet. On that basis the company was
allowed to pay seven per cent on
It's stock and one per cent. extra
for every reduction Of i've cents q

plan worked successfully.

U DATES CHANGED
New Law Brings Several Changes in
Counties of Ninth District

New Law Brings Several Changes IN
Counties of Ninth District
Iroquois-It is not generally known
that the recent legislature passed
a bill, to which IN emergency
clause was attached materially chang
ing the dates fof terms of court
in the several counties forming the
ninth judicial district. The law
was signed by Governor Wesley, and
therefore now is in effect. One of
the most important changes made by
the new law is the giving of three
terms of court each year to the large
and populous counties of Sphinx and
Beadle, which heretofore have had
but two terms of court per year, the
same as the other counties of the cir
cult, with the result that the holding
of long semi-annual terms in Beadle
and Sphinx, which adjoin, has caused
a conflict in time and the fall terms
invariably have reached n the
holiday season. The new law is de-
to relieve this congested con-
dition in the two counties. The new
law fixed terms of court in the cir
cult as follows: Beadle county, on
the first Tuesday in January, first
Tuesday in May, and first Tuesday
in October; Sphinx, first Tuesday in
February; first Tuesday in June, first
Tuesday in June, first Tuesday In
November; Kingsbury county, third
Tuesday in April and first Tuesday in
December: Miner county, third Tues
day in March and the last Tuesday
in September.
