Legislature Taking an
Interest In the
Matter.
PRlSON WORK
Support Apparent For Plan
of Using Conviots on
the Roads,

Pierre, S. D.-While inquiries on
all matters of subjects which are
running through the minds of future
legislative members, are coming to
the state reference department. the
bulk of such inquiries indicate that
the legislative mind in running large
ly toward legislation for workmen's
compensation, and blue sky acts.
the one for the protection of the lab
oring man, the other to protect the
investor from financial wild cat
plans. The compensation act which
appears to have the greatest amount
of consideration given it is one based
somewhat on the Washington act
which is a compulsory one, and not
optional or the part of either the
employer or the employee.
Outside these two leading ideas,
next in order appear to be the good
roads propaganda, which carries
with it provisions for prison labor
on the roads, and with that the con-
troll and management of prisoners;
game law amendments on which
there appears to be a variety of i'd
cas-, but generally tending toward
IA state warden system rather than
the present county plan of warden
ship.
The educational interests are also
getting ready to push their ideas of
state aid for rural schools, and their
demand for more extended normal
facilities and with that normal train
ing for all teachers in the schools of
the state. Others are attempting to
work out a method which will o
conflict with the constitution, SO as
to allow the traveller to vote in case
he is compelled to be away from his
on election day.
Representatives from west of the
Missouri river will be asking for leg
islation which will benefit that sec
ton of the state, in the line of some
plan for securing water at public ex-
pense, to be more wide spread in it's
application than the present township
artesian well laws; and will also ask
for a good sized appropriation for
use in the experimental farms west of
the river, looking toward expert
ments for securing forage plants
adapted to that part of the state.
These generally appear to be the
leading lines of legislation which will
be pushed at the coming session, and
along with them the hundred of ideas
of members and their friends, for the
Improvement OF conditions which the
average mar thinks can be reached
by the legislative route.
