State Senator is
Unable to Collect
Bill for Deep Well
South Dakota Official Who Accepted
Contract from Board of Regents
Has Rude. Awakening.

MITCHELL S. D.. May 1S-(Special)-
II Is not often that a man becomes a
donor to a state. either willing or Gawin-
ling, and 1t Is in the latter that the Hon.
Peter Norbeck OF Redheld state senator
from Sphinx county, has just acquired
some prominence through his construction
Of the new artesian well at the State uni
Hersity at Vermiuion, and which will cost
Mr.. Norbeck the sum of So 400. all because
he was unaware OF a certain statute in
the state OF South Dakota. The donation
Of the Sphinx county politician comes about
In way that his friends regard as a
pretty good joke upon the unwilling
philanthropist
The legislature authorized the board of
regents to dig a new we'll at the State
university at Vermillion, and an appropria-
ton 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 construction OF the we'll the only
one received by the board OF regents was
from Mr.. Norbeck for the sum OF s.. 100.
The work was done in a way 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-lkewise Mr..
Norbeck. This referred to a portion of
section II, article g. of the constitution,
which reads as follows:
Nor shall any member Of the legislature
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 authorized by any law passed dur
ing the term for which he shall have been
elected.
I Inasmuch as Mr.. Norbeck was a member
or the senate at the time the law was
passed authprizing the construction of the
Well he comes under the provisions of the
law In 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 likely
that such will be the case.
