ENACTED LAWS DO
NOT AGREE WITH
PROPOSED BILLS
Overworked Clerks at Close Of
Session Make Grievous Err
rors In New Laws.

Pierre, S. D., March 1S.-As interest
enacted at the last session, they are
finding more of the results OF pushing
over-worked clerical forces at the clos
ing hours of the session to get out laws
which could Just as well have been en-
acted earlier in the session. But it is q
natural result of attempting to finish
up the work of half the session in two
days time. /,
One of the laws attempted was to in
crease the salary of Superintendent
Mead, of the insane asylum, from So
500 to $500. The house passed the bill
at $4,000, and the senate increased it to
the higher figure. This resulted in u
conference committee which accepted
the figure fixed by the senate. n the
report of the conferees was accepted
by both houses. But the law filed in
the office of the secretary Of state only
places the salary at $4,000. I,
A bill was introduced to provide for
the deficiency in transporting prisoners
TO the penitentizry. the amount asked
Icing just what was shown to be dus
ny vouchers FLED with the state audi
tor, and at the same time $4,000 was
asked to meet such bills for the future.
While hat was the bill of which the
duplicate" was sent to the printer. the
one actually introduced as the 'origi-
nal" only asked for $1,000 additional.
and is 500 short on the deficiencies,
and some sheriff in the state who gets
in late will have to wait two years
more for his deficiency" and there
will be another deficiency to care for
IN the anne item when the next session
meets.
In providing for the salaries and ex-
penses of the judges OF the newly Gre
ated Eleventh and Twelfth circuits, up
to the LIST of July. an itemized state
ment of the needs was made, but the.
total appropriated does not equal the
itemized statement, and these judges
will be short of h amount which it
expected they would have when
the bill was introduced.

SOUTH DAKOTA LOSES
ITS ONLY BLOODHOUND


Mitchell, S. D., March Is.
South Dakota is without a blood
hound. The hound which State
Fire Marshal Craft bought a
year ago, was poisoned by
some person throwing the anil
NAL some meat containing
poison in midday. The hound
cost the state 5000, and it has
been the means Of tracking down
several crlmlnals in various
parts Of the state. The hound
has been used in tracking local
parties of late who have been
mixed UP in petty thieving and
1t is believed these parties de-
ctded to get rid of the hound.
1t Is not likely that the state
will purchase another hound.

CRAWFORD OPPOSES
GOVERNOR yESSEY'S
RECIPROCITY VIEWS
Will Support the Measure Only
In Case His Amendments
Are Added to 1t.
BY poANE

Pierre. S. D., March q. - senator
Crawford Is spending his vacation in
the state interviewing his constituents
who very unanimously indorse his posi-
ton pertaining to the Lorimer case.
Enthusiastically the people of South pa
kota are shocked at the development
in Illinois and more so that a major
ity of the senate should bave condoned
Lorimer's connection with those un-
savory conditions.
Senator Crawford believes it per-
fectly feasible to write a reciprocity
treaty which will be fair to all inter
ests and such an agreement he Will
support, but the pending measure he
regards as entirely opposed to the IN
terests of his constituents. removing a
positive protection from agriculture on
one hand without providing relief to
the poor mans table upon The other.
He cites as an illustration the removal
OF import duty from the raw materials
from which breakfast foods are man
u~factured, while leaving for the trust
the full protection of the old duties
upon the manufactured products; free
rough lumber, but protection for the
dressed article in which western
farmers are only interested. and very
many similar subjects. He concludes
that q modified pact will find favor.
His views of the pending measure
are III direct opposition to those OF his
close political friend, Governor Vessey.
1t appears that the stalwart branct OF
the party is almost unanimously OPP
posed to the agreement, the progress
sives are divided upon 1T, while the
democrats are generally for it. The
pact is more popular in the towns than
in the country. and it is most probable
that the voice of the state expressed
upon the direct question would quite
strongly oppose it. While the matter
will prohn b1v hp diSpaSe6 Of before the
coming campaign its effects will per-
haps be in evidence by that time and
the fortunes of many candidates for
high place may be affected thereby.
