to see done. 1t will put an end to

war If somebody can get above an

State of South Dakota
Cannot Get All Good
Land in Rosebud

BURKE. s. D., Nov. 1I.-(Special)-A
visitor to tho Rosebud country at this
time would perhaps be surprised TO learn
that none OF the present furore In the
newspapers regarding the question as to
whether or not those who recently reg
istered for homesteads In Bennett and
Mellette counties were up against a brace
game without show to win, has penc-
trated to the country under discussion.
Those who are here and know the con.
ditions are not worrying at all as to the
fitness OF Mellette county for a white
mans county, nor doubling at all that
all Of the available land will be filed
upon next spring. Those Of them who
have relatives in the east who were
lucky enough to draw numbers are urg-
ing them to get ready to come and make
entry and not get frightened over the
reports in the newspapers
The ruction started soon after the
drawing when the disclosure was made
that the state would select forty-one
sections as indemnity school land before
the settlers had a chance to make their
selections. While this statement was
perfectly true. and the state win do that
very thing, there is nothing in that fact
which should cause undue excitement Or
discouragement to any of the prospect
i've homesteaders. 1t has been assumed
by some newspaper correspondents that
the state would 90 in and select all of
the best as school lands, thus leaving
none Of the real cream of the country
for the settlers. There is no occasion for
argument over this phase Of the discus
sion. The law and the presidents $
proclamation very plainly state that the
state cannot take more than two sections
as indemnity land in any one township.
Thus IT is apparent and indsputable that
the state will be compelled to take some
Of the rougher lands.
The foolishness of the claim that there
will be nothing left for the settlers when
the state gets through selecting is shown
by the fact that while the state is en-
titled to only forty=one sections of in
demnity land, there are about 47O sections
of unallotted lands from which to make
the selections under the restrictions
above noted, which will leave about 431
sections, or 100 quarter-section farms,
for the new settlers.

FORMAL DECISION IS PREPARED
Agrees with Interstate Commission
on Transoontinental hates.
DISCRETION TO BE EXERCISED
Controversy Expected to Reach the
Supreme Court.
ORDERS TEMPORARILY ENJoINED
Judge Archibald COncurs in Issu-
Rnce of Injunction, but Opinion
Holds Long and short Haul
Provision Invalid.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-In the ma
jority opinion of the commerce court
formally handed down today in the trans
continental rate cases, 1t is held that the
long and short haul provision of the in
terstate commerce act is constitutional
Judge Archibald concurs in the is
suance Of a temporary injunction Of
orders Of the interstate commerce com
mission, but his opinion holds the long
and short haul provision to be invalid.
The commerce court reached the con-
clusion that the cases involved in the
present proceeding afforded the best pos
sible opportunity for a determination Of
the constitutionality of the long and short
haul provision of the act to regulate
commerce. 1t was realized that that
question eventually would have to be
fought out before the United States su-
preme court.
In the formal opinion, prepared by
Judge Mack, the commerce court not
only agrees with the Interstate Com
merce commission that the long and
ohort haul provison-the fourth section
of the law--is constitutional but that il
would be unconstitutional "as an unlaw-
ful delegation of legislative power" If
no standard were given Ito guide the
exercise of the commissions discretion
in granting authority to depart from the
rule forbidding a lesser rate for the
long than for the short haul in the same
direction over the same line"
BY an exhaustive examination of the
entire law, however, the court reaches
the conclusion that it is the duty of the
commission to exercise it's discretion to
establish lower rate for longer haul
than for shorter, If the conditions, in
It's opinion, warrant such action.
The court points out that the orders
Of the commission. which, as enjoyed,
do not establish absolute rates for either
the long or short haul. but they do es-
tablish a relation between any long haul
rate that carrier may put into effect
lnd the short haul rate, determining that
Irom zone l the western short haul rate
shall not exceed the long haul rate, and
that from zones q 8 and the short haul
shall not exceed the long haul rate by
more than 7 per cent, 10 per cent and %
per cent, respectively.
