In the Dakota terrier al Ga, S ii
municipalities were & anted spe II
charters under which they arran gee
their local government. These char
tiers covered every phase OF local szE
government applicable to the times
Since the admission of the territory
to the union Is state, the cities and
towns have gradually cast aside their
old territorial charters until today but
two cities in South Dakota remain,
which still use the instruments Of
over score Of years ago. These two
cities are WATERFOWL and Yankton.
Among the privileges granted under
the special 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 to
these cities. The constitution Of she
state makes it plainly understood tnat
no municipal corporation shall be
granted any powers not applicable to
any other corporation. Many lawyers
hold that this provision would in
validate that section of special char
ter relating to the privilege Of local
option, but it is admitted there is a
question about it. In any event It Is
not beyond the range of possibility
that the courts will be called upon to
settle this problem in the near future

Pierre-The daylight saloon bill,
setting the closing hour of all saloons
in the state at 8 o'clock each evening,
passed the senate today by the de-
cisive vote of 80 to L. 1t carries the
emergency clause. and will become a
law as soon as Governor r. S. Wesley
attaches his signature.
An effort was made by Wyman to
strike out the emergency clause, he
contending that license with man
who is at present engaged in the sa-
loon business is contract, and can
not be violated. Collins and Lockhart
spoke in favor of the emergency clause
Those who opposed the bill did not
put up a very strong fight because
they could plainly see that the large
majority of the upper. house was in
favor of the bill.
That the governor will sign the bill
within short time is almost GER
tainty.
BY vote Of so to Il the senate yes
terday adopted the majority report OF
the temperance committee on the
Daylight saloon bill. The report Of
the minority favoring a ten O'Clock
closing and what is now known Is
the Glassner amendment, providing
for the closing time to be determined
by local option were voted down.
Senators Collins and Fleeger were
the defenders of the majority report
ON the floor. The latter made strong
address but the former spoiled the eff
feet of his own talk by getting mixed
ON county and local option, and thus
argued inadvertently against his own
proposition. Senator Candy made a
brilliant address in favor of the op-
tional closing feaure. but the final
vote showed an easy victory for the
measure as it stands.
Early in the session petitions
against the Daylight saloon bill from
st. Onge, Sturgi:, Lead, Whitewood,
Spearfish and Belle Fourche were read.
Following is the vote in the senate
on the daylight saloon bill:

The report of the legislative inyestf-
eating committee on the Affairs OF the
soldiers home, is generally looked up
on with favor inasmuch as It lets all
the parties concerned down as easily
as nossible. DR.. Bentley, mayor Of Hot
springs is satisfied with the report in
o general way. He says "the people OF
Hot Springs are vindicated for their
action in bringing charges against the
management of the institution"
But there is one point mentioned in
tho report which will have to be
threshed out on the floor when the re-
mort comes up for adoption this morn
ing. It is the section stating that
the expenditure of the sum OF $4.67O.4S
of the money appropriated for the re-
pairs to the sewerage was wholly un-
authorized and illegal"
Previous to the construction OF the
present system the city of Hot Syringe
notified the board of the home; that
their sewer system was a nuisance and
a menace to the general health OF the
place. and something would have to
he done or it would be condemned. To
construct a new system for the neces-
sary distance of about a mile and .
quarter would have cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. But the city made
the proposition that for a considera
ton of Sc, 900 the sewer OF the home

city and kept in repair as long as the
institution was maintained.
Attorney General Clark was con-
suited and he approved of the plan
offered by Hot Springs and at his sug-
gestion the board accepted the city's
offer, and the deal was carried
through. Now the investigating COM
mittee says this action was "unauthor-
lied and illegal"
Those directly interested in the mat
ter cannot figure out why the commit
tee thought it necessary to deal with
this problem at all. The board and
those about the home are satisfied and
the city is willing to live up to Its
agreement. The former attorney gen
eral is in the capital and he will very
likely be called upon to explain to the
legislature exactly how the deal came
about
