of the splice, after which the splice
IS completed by means OF four or five
End turns, in which the end of each
wire Is turned in q close coil about a
straight section OF the other. Tests
of various spices show that the end

touse receipts act and the sales act
md ] trust that South Dakota may
DIN the other states in the advocacy
d uniform legislation and in the pro
notion OF uniform laws which will
end TOWARD the ultimate unity of the
Nation.
II would further recommend that the
legislature consider the establishment
# a board of commissioners, which
hall cooperate with the boards of
Their states with this end in view.
Also l feel hat the attention Of
