COMMISSION PLAN IS
SUSTAINED BY VOTE
BY OVER TWO TO ONE THE PEG
PIE OF SIOUX FALLS GIVE
ENDORSEMENT TO THE
PRESENT Sl STEM.

Sioux Falls, S. D.--l'y a vote of
over two to one, the voters of
Sioux Falls yesterday went on record
as refusing to change the form of
city commission from five to three
men and by n similar vote declared
in favor of the establishment OF Il
municipal court in the city. The
vote stood 1920 in favor of the pres
ent commission and 541 against, and
the vote on the establishment of the
municipal court was 1904 for and
and SAC, against
The vote on the city commission
is regarded as emphatic Endorsement
Of the present administration and its
constructive policy, because the pro-
motors OF the three commission plan
made the acts of the present admin
istration the issue on which they
hoped TO carry their proposition. The
effort to establish a three men COM
mission was therefore generally
looked upon as an attempt to recall
the present commissioners without
the formality of preferring charges.

er the necessity for better roads,
which would vastly cut down his
expense of transportation to the To-
cal market. Mr.. Deets covered many
interesting subjects in the course of
his remarks, and the commissioner
made a splendid impression on the
great audience of men.
Other speeches of the afternoon
were delivered by j.. +. House, of
Chamberlain and e. G. Issenhuth, of
RedfieId. MI. House spoke with spe-
cial reference to the law adopted by
the 1911 Legislature and explained
its many provisions, and also made
some comments on the former road
laws, whereby but little work was
accomplished in that the road work
meant nothing o or less than Il
country meeting of the neighborilood.
Mr.. lssenhuth, as a former mem
Der OF the legislature, had much to
do with the final passage of a good
roads law, but it was several years
before he was able to accomplish
what was really desired. Mr.. Issen-
huth's remarks We're of a general
character as applied to the me liv-
ing on the farm to give of their
means, and encourage the good road
building that is so necessary 10 the
welfare of the state.
Ben Woods, of Rapid City, the sec
rotary of the convention. gave a
brief talk on the route to Rapid City.
He referred to what Pennington
county proposes to do in the way of
building bridges which will permit of
two routes entering Rapid City. In
April, Mr.. Wood, said the county
would vote or the issuance of $4,000
in bonds for the construction of two
bridges across the Cheyenne river,
one for Wasta and the other for
Creston. which will permit the build
ing of the two routes. Mr.. Wood ia
vored the southern route following
the Milwaukee road. for it gave the
best scenic beauties of either route
through to the Hills country, and he
believed that the SCENERY along the
highway would have the greatest ten
dency TO divert the travel of the east
crn tourists in that direction.
When the convention adjourned at
5 O'Clock. it was made subject to
the call of the chairman for another
meeting to make final decision on
the route between Mitchell and Sioux
Falls.

YOUNG MEN To STEP
INTO BUSINESS ARENA
YOUNGER ELEMENT OF THE
BUSINESS MEN START \ COM.
MERCiAL Club TO WORK
WITH OTHER CLUB.

There has been more or less talk
among the younger business men of
the city concerning the formation of
an organization drawn on the lines
OF IL commercial club. A banquet
was arranged for at the Widmann
hotel, and at ! O'Clock 81 of these
young men were gathered around the
board. Landlord feeling presented
q splendid mcnu to the guests, and
1t was served in Il manner highly
satisfactory. While the dinner was
being served the koolish orchestra
presented a program of music.
Dir. III. l.. Mcdonald acted as toast
master of the occasion and explained
in a general way what the young
business men of the city hoped to
accomplish by a united effort ON
their part and in conjunction with
the Commercial Club. but hal the
membership OF the club should be
confined distinctively to the younger
business men. 1t appeared to them
that there We're ways in which the
yonger men could take hold of things
and push them that would mean
much for them and for the city.
Addresses endorsing the forma-
ton OF the club We're made by o. b..
Wells, DR.. Delaney, r. E. Satterlee,
Sid w. Smith, and Ray l.. Branson.
MIR. Satterlee was made the chair
a
An organization was formed by the
election of w. H. Broadbent as pres
ident; ID. T. Becker, vice president:
o. b. Wells, secretary; DR.. H. l..
Mcdonald treasurer. An executive
committee and committee on organ
ization was elected to consist of DR..
Mcdonald, Messrs. Wells and Smith.
At adjournment 1t was decided to
have another banquet at the Wild
mann Thursday evening, March 81,
when action will be taken looking to
the enlargement of the organization
an dthe adoption of constitution and
bylaws. 1t is the intention to enlist
all the young men possible in the
new club. and use their combined eff
forts with the older Commercial Club
to boosting for Mitchell, and there
is no question but what there Is a
place and work for the young men to
do. Mitchell is fortunate in possess
ing a class of young men. who are
willing to get into the harness in
work of this character and they
will be laying the foundation for Il
mighty strong organization in the
years to, come.
