the burden of taxpayers. Upon his

he will be informed that the bill

LEGISLATIVE QUESTION
Show Wide Range of Problems
in the Minds of Solons

Pierre, Dec. 26.-While inquiries on
all manner of subjects which are run
ming through the minds of future legis-
altive members, are coming TO the
state reference department, the bulk
of such inquiries indicate that the
Legislative mind is running largely to
ward legislation for workmen compen-
sation and "blue sky" acts, the one
for the protection of the laboring man,
the other to protect the investor from
financial wild cat plans. The compen-
sation 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 on the part of
either the employer or the employe.
Outside these two leading ideas, next
in order appear to be the good reads
propaganda which carries with it pro-
vi sions for prison labor on the roads,
and with that the control and manage
ment of prisoners; game law amend
ments on which there appears to be a
variety of ideas, but generally tending
toward a state wsrdtn system rather
than the present county plan of ward
enship. 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 FORMAL train
ing for all teachers in the schools of
the state.
Others are attempting to work out
a method which will not conflict with

route.

MERIDIAN ROAD
Secretary Nicholson Completes
Trip From Winnipeg
to Galveston

Galveston, Texas, Dec. 26.-The final
step was taken in logging the Meridian
Winnipeg to Gulf automobile load
when John Q. Nicholson, secretary of
the Meridian Road association, arrived
in Galveston from Winnipeg, Canada,
having covered a distance of approx
mately two thousands miles by automo-
bile.
This great automobile highway will
have Winnipeg as its most northern
point and Galveston as the most south
ern point, and will lead to a closer in
timacy between these two distant
cities, and will be of the greatest mu-
tual benefit, not only from increased
trade relations, but from the fact that
many Texas automobiles annually
tour Canada by automobile, and will
now be able to avail themselves of this
direct route connecting with the Can.
adian highways at Winnipeg and tour
the Rocky mountains and Pacific ocean.
Likewise Canadian automobilists
will be enabled to drive from Winni-
peg, and the snow capped Rockies TO
Galveston, where the warm gulf stream
causes an average temperature of n
degrees during the year, and where
roses are always in bloom, and excel
lent surf bathing is to be had the year
round.
This road will be cut into divisions,
corresponding to the state through
which it passes. There will be the
Canadian. the North Dakota, the
South Dakota, the Nebraska, Kansas
and Oklahoma divisions, and the
North Texas and Gulf division, the
dividing line between the states being
Waco. 1t will be the duty of these
states to organize the counties through
which the road will pass into county
divisions, such county division to urge
the construction of a permanent high
way therein.
There is a very important feature to
this highway which should be borne in
mind. Winnipeg, a city of 200. 600
population, is so situated that Calves
ton, in point of actual distance, is
the nearest deep water port, with the
exception of the Great Lake outlets,
which are closed to traffic several
months ont of the year on account of
ice.

SOLDIERS HOME
Is Much Crowded With Inmates
According to Biennial
Report

Pierre, Dec. 26.-The biennial report
of the Soldiers home, just issued, re-
veals the fact that the home is much
crowded and that additional buildings
will be needed IL the state Intends to
provide further for soldiers and their
wives in need of its care. Since the
founding of the home 1,4Oi soldiers
have been enrolled frcm the civil and
Spanish American wars, although the
average membership of the home is
about 800. The average number of sol
diers' widow inmates is so. There are
a total of lab rooms for the use Of the
soldiers and in all go beds. The coun-
ties of Brown, Fall River, Lawrence.
Meade and Pennington have the larg-
est number receiving the benefits of the
home.
1t is specially urged in the report
by the head surgeon that no tubercu
lar persons be admitted, or if they are,
that they be placed in some separate
building, where all such diseases may
be specially cared for without danger
to comrades, attendants and persons
living in the home. During the bien.
MUM there were AZ deaths, a very low
rate considering the class Of people TAX
en- care of. The situation of the home,
with the opportunities for the use of
the hot springs. makes it ideal in every
particular. The per capita cost for the
year 1912 was $327.19, and the total
cost of running the institution, $751;
253.5 81.
