In The Dakota territorial days, TN

charters under which they
their local government. These char-
ters covered every phase OF local SIT
government applicable to the times
Since the admission of the territory
to the union as a state, the cities ana
towns have gradually cast aside their
old territorial charters until today put
two cities in South Dakota remain,
which still use the instrument OF
over a score of years ago. These TWO
cities are Watertown X
Among the privileges granted under
the snecial charters which are used
TODAY by these two cities, is that OF
local option on the liquor question.
The question has been raised by at
torneys as to whether or not the day
light saloon bill, passed by the senate
YESTERDAY, can be made applicable 10
these cities. The constitution OF s1e
state makes it plainly understood that
no municipal corporation shall be
granted n powers not appllcabe &c
any other corporation. Many lawyers
hold that this provision would
validate that section of a special char-
ter relating to the privilege of local

question about it. In any event II Is
not beyond the range OF possibility
that the courts will be called upon 10
settle this problem in the near future.
