BEFORE GOVERNOR RYRNE

Huron 8. d. Dec. 23,-The meeting
or good roads enthusiasts of South

gates to this city, the purpose of the
gathering being to arrange for inn
provement in the highways Of the
state, and the men present were occlz
pied throughout the sessions In stiff
arranging recommendations to be put
before the legislature. 1t was n gem
eral opinion Of the meeting that the
license fee for automobiles should be
considerably increased, thus establish
ing and insuring q fund which would
make possible the carrying out of the
associations plans. The meeting also
favored the creation Of a state high
way commission, the office of which
would be TO carry on the work Of inn
proving the state roads and to keep
them In condition when built. The
best methods OF road Improvement,
and the necessary steps in what has
become a statewide movement were
discussed by various members.
The greatest interest and enthusiasm
marked the gathering, and while there
were differences of opinion these were
allowed In no easur to interiors
with the general unity Of purpose. Ben
n, Wood. secretary of the association,
in the urs of q short talk, expressed
himself as Of the opinion that the task
OF creating in South Dakota a good
roads commission and of carrying
through the actual work OIL the roads
was one of the biggest and most inn
portant things TO be done during tho
next legislative year. and during
the administration of G~overnor-elect

TRAVELLING MAN LAW

Pierre, s. D., Dec. 21.-A search OF

when 1t provides that the elector snail
be entitled to vote at any election in
the election district OF which he shall
