GOOD ROADS BILL
THE HOUSE PASSES COMMITTEE
BILL ON HIGHWAYS IN
PRovEMENT
DAYLIGHT SALOON BILL
Bracket Amendment Fixing Closing
Hour at Nine, Adopted, and
Bill Passed House by
Strong Vote

Pierre-After a discussion which
lasted more than three hours, the
house today, by a voate of 73 to 20,
improvement of the highways OF
the state, commonly called the good
roads measure. The argument on
the bill was entered into by prac-
tically every member present, and
some lively discussions were had. Be-
cause of the absence of Representa-
tive Wolsemuth, the chairman of the
committee which introduced the bill,
Representative Issenhuth lead the
fight in support of the measure.
This is considered one of the most
important bills which will be before
the house this session. 1t is a COM
promise measure, the original being
prepared by Mr.. Issenhuth, but finding
that there were some features in his
bill which would meet with very hard
opposition, he consented to CONSOLE
date it with another good roads plan,
and allow the committee to present it
to the Legislators.
In the senate today, Curtiss and Nc
Pherson anne to sharp words over the
question of putting the North Caro-.
lima bond money into the general fund
After a lively discussion, the report
of the committee favoring such &C
ton was adopted.
The North Carolina bond money
has been in a separate fund and has
been idle. During the last legislature
there was a project on foot to return
the money to the people of the state
Of South Carolina, but this vas de-
feated. The action of the senate to-
day is the first step toward putting
the money where it will be available
for the general running expenses OF
the state.
Dick Richards, today appeared re-
fore the committee on elections, max
ing a strong defense of the new pri-
mary bill, of which he is said to be
the father.

Attorney General Would Investigate
Legality of Salaries

The following self-explanatory let
ter has been sent by the attorney
general to the chairman of the senate
judiciary committee:
Hon. Ira Curtis, Chairman,
Judiciary Committee, Pierre.
Dear Sir: The question has arisen
in many of the counties Of the state.
as to whether or not county treasur-
ers are legally entitled to receive the
salaries that are being paid them.
Under Chapter III Of the Session
Laws of 1909, the law provides in
Section / that the county treasurer
shall receive four per cent of said
taxes collected only. Section two
provides that the county commission
ers shall make an annual levy for a
sum sufficient to pay the county Of
ficers. Section $40 of the Political
Code of 1903 provides that the coun-
ty treasurers shall receive salaries OF
not to exceed fifteen hundred dollars
in counties of less than fifteen thou
sand inhabitants, and in counties
having than fifteen thousand in
habitants they will receive not to ex-
coed two thousand dollars per annum.
The legislature, in passing Chapter
III of the session laws Of 1909, evil
IDENTIFY did not take into consideration
the fact that the Office OF county
treasurer is a fee Office.
In the county of Trip, for instance,
where there is a great deal of Indian
land, the treasurer Of Trip county
will receive about one hundred dol
lars per year for his salary by a strict
construction of law. This matter
has been evaded by some of the coun-
ties by having the county commission
ers fix the salary of the county treas
urer arbitrarily, but there is a grave
question whether or not this fixing
of salaries by the county commission
ers is in violation of Section 6, Article
9 of the Constitution, and must, un-
doubtedly be a delegation of power II
they have such authority. AS the
courthouse in Trip county recently
burned, destroying many Of the RET
ords of the county, there will be a
great deal of work placed upon the
shoulders of the county treasurer, and
if he cannot receive, legally more
than One hundred dollars a year he
will undoubtedly resign.
II this matter were brought before
the judiciary committee they would
undoubtedly see the necessity of i'm
mediately framing a bin to meet this
! situation. Very truly yours,
ROYAL C. JOHNSON,
Attorney General.

NOTES.

A bill providing that the surplus In
the game fund at the end of the fsca!
year be turned into the state general
fund has been introduced by Repre-
sentative Giedt. This money was
turned in as license by the hunters
and sportsmen and the state has no
moral right to appropriate it for any
purpose other than that concerning
fish and game of the state. For that
reason 1t is very doubtful If Mr.. Geidts
measure will ever get out OF the COM
mittee, but in any event it is doomed
to be reiegated to the waste basket.
The senate committee reported the
Canadian reciprocity resolution, MEM
orializing the South Dakota congress
men to oppose any such attempted
legislation, without recommendation.
There is a great diversity of opinion
regarding it. On one hand ii is con
tended that South Dakota would lose
$40, O00, 900 a year if the treaty were
entered into, while others say it would
be a great help to the nation in gen.
eral and the northwest in particular.
When the Bigelow bill providing for
rotation of candidates James on the
primary ballot, comes up for discus
sion in the senate there will he an
effort made to restore the emergency
clause to it. The measure failed to
secure the necessary two-thirds vote
in the house, but with the emergency
clause struck OFF, it passed by a good
majority.
A petition was being circulated
among the legislators favoring Jacob
Parrot, representative from Walworth
county, for the position of receiver OF
the land office to be created and To-
Gated at Mobridge or in that vicinity,
The petition was signed by about all
the members and forwarded to the
president.
Senator Henault introduced a reso,
luton amending the constitution, pro
viding that rs per cent of the voter!
upon petition for a removal action car
have an election called, and that two
thirds vote is sufficient to cause thu
recall or the removal of a public of
fetal.
Memorial exercises for Forbis and
Taylor, formar representatives were
held in the house yesterday. Resolu-
tons of respect were adopted and also
copies ordered prepared and sent to
the families OF the deceased.

illegal Fishing in Big Stone

Observation-Disclosures from eastern
Grant county reported to Game War
den Mount at Milbank that a large net
had been found in Big Stone lake
by men who were fishing with hook
and line. The game warden investi-
gated and found a net thirty feet long
beneath the ice, it evidently having
been placed there when the ice was
thin.
The net, 1t is believed, was p'ac-
ed there by men who were engaged
in taking rough fish from the lake.
Formerly a deputy game warden was
on hand to see that the game fish were
thrown back and only the rough fish
taken out by the seiners, but since
the lake froze up this has not been
done. Fishermen claim there are at
least thirty nets in Big Stone lake,
and Mr.. Mount has taken up the cues
ton with w. F. Bancroft, state game
and fish warden, to see IL the prac-
tice cannot be stopped.

Amendments in Committee Were Ac-
ceptabIe and He Led Fight

ceptabIe and He Led Fight
Pierre-The committees good roads
bill wmhich passed the house Thurs
day is quite different in form from the
bill introduced by Representative Is
senhuth, but the amendments in COM
mittee were acceptable to him and he
led the fight for the passage of the
bill.
The bill was made agreeable to
many of the rural members through
the insertion of a county option
clause. Under this clause the entire
act may be suspended in any county
by a simple majority vote. A vote
may be obtained by a petition OF 10
per cent of the voters.
The Office of road overseer under
the terms of the bill is discontinued
and the road work is placed in charge
of the board of township trustees, who
may designate n of their number
to look after such work and draw pay
therefor at the rate of three dollars
per day. This township work is for
improvements costing less than 5000.
This is a concession to the oppon-
ents of the original bill which placed
the limit at $500. Work must be
done by contract and all assessments
paid in cash unless the electors OF
the township decide by a majority
vote to have the tax worked out on
the road by the farmers. The town
ship supervisors levy the tax which
is collected by the county treasurer
and paid out by the township treasur-
err for contract work in the township.
Work amounting to $500 or over is
in charge of the county which is en-
powered to levy tax in addition to
the township levy Of not more than
FIVE mills. This will be expended
by the county for work on the roads
done under contract.
Provision is made for macadamiz-
ing, oil-roofing or graveling roads by
order of the county commissioners on
petition of two-thirds Of owner OF
AUDITING property, the expense OF the
same to be paid in part by the county
and in part by the district benefited.
Township supervisors may contract

DAYLIGHT Bill Passes

After an hour and a half Of debat-
ing, the house yesterday passed the
daylight saloon bill. The amendment
of Representative Bracket, putting
the closing hour at 8 O'Clock was
adopted and the bill as amended went
through with the emergency clause at
tached. Should the measure in its
present condition pass the senate, aud
1t is altogether likely that it will, the
instrument will become effective i'm
mediately upon the signature of the
governor to it. There will then be
no chance to invoke the referendum.
Immediately upon the measures be-
ing brought up for discussion, Brack-
EFT offered his amendment which was
followed by a substitute amendment
by Glassner, of Bon Homme. Glass
ner's proposition was to make the
closing hour optional with the COM
munities. He made a strong speech
Ia defense of his amendment which
was answered by Whiting and Millett.
Representative Vercoe, Of Lead, de-
Tended Brackets proposition and in
the course of his talk took exception
to the published statement that the
Black Hills delegation favored the ".all
night saloon. Representative Brown
centended that the proposed bill would
react against the progress already
made along the lines of temperance.
Sutley and Hayes followed with talks
for and against the bill and the Glass
ner amendment was put to a vote. 1t
was lost by a vote of % to rs. The
Bracket proposition carried by about
the same vote by which the other
amendment was lost. Upon roll call
on the original bill, as amended. the
vote showed it had carried by 70 to
q. Thus the victors had nine more
votes than were necessary to carry
with the emergency.
A careful poll Of the senate reveals
that the vote on the daylight saloon
bill in the upper house is going TO
be much closer than in the lower cody
Friends of the measure express their
confidence that 1t will easily carry in
the senate, but Judging by the express
ions of the individual members ii Is
difficult to see just wherein they are
to figure out a "cinch."
In its present shape the bill would
require at least thirty votes to carry.
This would leave fourteen members on
the other side. A poll today showed
more than sixteen senator's opposed
to it, which would be enough to de-
feat 1t unless the emergency clause
Is removed.
Many members who are in sympathy
with the bill are going 80 vote against
II because II would go into effect i'm
mediately upon the governors signing
IL, should ii pass. The question has
been raised Of the injustice of collect
ing a license with the understanding
that the saloon was to run from five
until eleven, and then turning and cut
ting three hours from this time allow
ed for doing business. 1t is contend
ed that If three hours can be rightfully
cut or, then six or ten can be. Right
or wrong this point is going to be a
bone OF contention when the bill has
reached the senate floor.
