WHAT'S THE

The News fails to understand the
course of reasoning pursued by the
statesmen at Pierre who are seeking
to abolish the law requiring the pub
LEGATION of insurance statements. If
the proposed legislation would save
the policyholders of the state a penny,
this paper could see some ground for
the action of the lawmakers who are
seeking TO abolish the publication of
the statements, but no saving will be
effected. Just as much money will be
sent out of the state without publica-
ton of the statement as with 1t, for
the insurance companies, and not the
p~olicyholders pay the newspapers for
publishing the statements. Granted
that the insurance statements may be
used to reward the newspaper adher-
ing to the fractional faith OF the insur-
ance commissioner who happens to be
in office, and that the recalcitrant ones

what especial economy car be eff
fected by repeating the law? The in
surance companies would welcome the
repeal, of course. as it would add that
much to the large sums they have
sailed down. But it would not benefit
the people of South Dakota a penny's
worth, and 1t would deprive South
Dakota newspapers of a considerable
sum Of money annually. But what
have the newspapers done to the legis-
iators Of South Dakota that they
should be d'sciplined?- Aberdeen

Ohio, il seems, is not the only state
where the barter of the franchise was
INDUCED in during the late uupleas-
antness." Down in Vermilton county,
Illinois. there is somewhat OF a SEN
sation at the evidence that is being
produced to show that the wholesale
dealing in votes was about as free as
il was in the Ohio county that has
furnished the worlds record along this
Line. As the further it goes the more
startling the discoveries become. The
district attorney, whose duty it is to
look after the prosecution of these
eases, has weakened in the face of the
disclosures that will be made. and has
confessed that he was one OF the deal
ers that bargained for votes at the
late election. 1t often takes a long
time for the wheels of justice to get
started, but when they once start
grinding there is no telling who may
get caught beneath the upper and
neither millstones. But the investiga-
tons may have a wholesome effect on
future elections, and in that light
they are to be welcomed.-Vermillion

There is no question but South pa
kota needs the right sort OF advertis-
ing. and needs it badly. Even now
many people OF rhe east do not know
that savage bands of Indians do not
roam the broad prairies and seek to
scalp the timOrous h~omesteaders,
while other people c~ausually wonder
If grass and trees grow in South Da-
kota. There is room for a whole lot
of missionary work to be done in the
way Of converting good farmers to
the habit OF moving to South Dakota,
and if such a thing is to be done sue
ce~ssfully it requires a person who

tons; that the school laws be so

ed a vote of thanks to the people of
Pierre for courtesies extended.

DISCUSS BUILDING CITY HALL
Matter Of Building for That Pur-
pose Considered.
Public Meeting Next Thursday.

At the request of members of the
council and others, meeting was held
at the Town Hall Monday evening, at
which the question of bonding the town
for the purpose OF raising funds to erect
u new city hall Was discussed.
81. Appleman was called to the chair
to preside over the meeting and an in
formal discussion was had. Each one
Of the twenty or more citizens present
WAS called upon to present his views OF
the matter, and number of valuable
suggestions were made.
While large majority of those pres
ent were in favor of bonding the town
for the purpose of building city hall
that would answer the needs tf the town
for wears to come, and at the same time
would be suitable building to tender
the new county of Pend Oreille as tenn
porarv court house, some of those pres
ent were not prepared to speak on the
matter, as they had given no thought to
the subject. Others were opposed to the
idea of bonding, but stated thai they
we're willing to be shown.
The proposal to raise money by bond
ing is not vet in tangible shape. In
fact, there has been no opportunity as
vet to work out the details of the propo
sition. The meeting of Monday night
accomplished the creation of interest in
the matter, and took no action except to
adopt a resolution asking the Town
Council to invite the citizens of the town
to meet with that body to further dis
cuss the proposal, and to give the coun-
Gil an opportunity to get the views of the
citizens and taxpayers.
Acting on the suggestion the city
council has called meeting to be held
at Vawter Hall on Thursday evening,
March 80. for the discussion of this
question and An invitation is extended
to all to attend.
A report of the money raised for the
purpose of securing division of Stevens
county and the creation OF Pend Oreille
county was handed in before the close OF
the messing. Total receipts were $l032,
expenditures 1871 IA, leaving balance
