SENATOR NORBECK IS
DONOR OF FINE WELL

Sphinx Statesman Overlooks

Mitchell, S. D., May 19.-It is not
often that a man becomes a donor
to a state, either willing or unwilling.
and it is in the latter that the Hon
orable Peter Norbeck, of Redfeld,
state senator from Sphinx county, has
Just acquired some promInence

Joke upon the unwilling p~hilanthropist.
The legislature authorized the board
Of regents to dig a new well at the,
State university. at Vermillion, and,
an appropriation was made to cover
the cost of the project. This was done
at the time that Mr.. Norbeck was a
member of the senate. When the time
came to advertise for bids for the con
struct1on of the well, the only one re-
cetved by the board of regents was
from Mr.. Norheck for the sum of So

entirely satisfactory to the board, and
when Mr.. Norbeck had completed the
work. his bill was approved by the
board of regents.
However, when the bill was sent to-
State Auditor Anderson to receive the
cash., he remembered what the state
board of regents had forgotten, like
wise Mr. Norbeck. This referred to a
portion of section IL, article 3 of the
constitution, which reads as follows:
Nor shall IN member OF the legis-
!ature during the term for which he,
shall have been elected. or within one
year thereafter, be interested, directly
or indirectly, in any contract with
the state or any county thereof, au-
thorized by any law passed during the
term for which he shall have been
elected"
Inasmuch as MI. Norbeck was a
member Of the enate at the time the
law was passed authorizing the con-
struction of the well, he ZONES under
the provisions Of the law in a very
direct manner, consequently his bill
cannot be collected in any way, unless
The state auditor will stand for the
violation OF the law, and it is not
