business section. At the present
time. they assert, they have to hire
all garbage hauled away and the
service furnished is unsatisfactory.
In line with this campaign, letters
today were mailed to the principal

POLITICS START
ON NEXT TUESDAY
DAWSON COUNTY PATRIOTS TO
ASSEMBLE AT COURT HOUSE
in AFTERNOON.

Election of state majority and mi
nority republican committeeman will
feature the county mass meetings for
Dawson county on Tuesday afternoon
when the new Richards primary sys-
tenn Will receive its active IMITATION.
No contests of any sort are anticipat-
ed in the camps of the democrats or
socialists.
Interest will probably center in the
mass meeting of the majority elect
ors, who are affiliated with the prin-
ciples of Governor Frank M. Byrne.
Two prospective candidates for the
place of state committeeman from
this faction are Ray l.. Branson and
Lewis Shuster. Both men have been
classed as 'progressives' and have
supported Senator Coe l. Crawford.
Mr.. Branson is the son OF O. l.. Bran
son, one OF the original progressives
and a consistent supporter of the SEN
ior senator. No contest is expected in
the convention of the minority cleo
tors.
The conventions scheduled for 2 o.
clock on Tuesday afternoon all oven
South Dakota are the first real trial
OF the e primary law, although the
enrolment of voters has been made
under its provisions. In addition to
the election of state committeeman,
precinct majority and minority com
m:tteemen will be chosen to act with
in the county.
To prospective candidates, of which
the field will apparently be full for
the republicans of Dawson county,
the mass meeting will be important.
Each of the two committees chosen
on Tuesday will assemble on January
I and pick the candidate for each Of
flee. to be voted on in the party pri-
maries on March "a. One state COM
mitteeman also will be chosen by each
faction to represent it at the meet
ings in Pierre on January 5, when
state majority and minority states
will be drafted.
Two calls for mass meetings have
been sent out by republican electors
One, representing the majority fac
ton, and affiliated with the princi-
pies of Gov. Frank M. Byrne, was
signed by T. b. Smiley, Z. w. Jones
M e. Helgerson and e. S. Mcleod

IN thousands of the residents of
South Dakota will rally to the sup
port of the mail carriers of South
Dakota and other states in securing
the passage of a law p%ensioning old
employees in the service after they
have served for certain periods. A
law providing for pensions for these
and other government employees in
the classified civil service now is
pending in both houses of congress.
1t is urged in behalf of the proposed
new pension Law that simple justice
would be done old employees in the
mail carrier service by retiring them
on part pay after they have served
the required period. and after they
had spent the best years of their life
i'm the service of Uncle Sam.
The proposed law provides a
straightout pension for classified civil
service employees who after thirty
years of service shall receive an an
nuity of SO per cent of the average
annual pay received during the five
years previous to retirement. Employ
es of twenty-five to thirty years of
service shall receive an annuity of
As per cent of the average annual
pay received during the five years
prior to retirement. Employees OF
twenty-five years in the service
shall receive an annuity OF 40 per
cent of the average annual pay for
the five years prior to retirement.
Under the proposed new pension law
no employ is to be retained in the
service after reaching the age of &c
years.
The bill also provides for total dis
ability annuities for those five years
and more in the service, the percent
age of pension granted being basec
upon length of service and pay re
ceived. 1t is estimated that the cost
of putting this plan into operation
would be 5000, 600. 1t also has
been estimated that the enactment o
the bill into law would at once retire

government in salaries, less the cos,

LAWYERS MUST ABIDE
BY COURT RULES
BRIEFS SHOULD BE FILED ACCORD
ING TO FORMER RULING.
When Man Instantly Killed, in Opinion
of Judges, Jury Should Not Be
Given Instructions Regarding
Punitive Damages.

Jackson.-In handing down decisions
members OF the Mississippi supreme court
reiterated that attorneys must file brief
and other documents in connection with
their cases according to the rules of the
higher tribunal.
In the case of the Y. & NJ. V. railroad
against G. S. Mcintyre the supreme court
referred to the fact that paragraph },
Of rule 7, provided that a brief IF type
written shall be in black, n~on-copying
ink, double spaced, on white paper with
out the name of any person or advertis-
ing matter thereon" Thu court then
stated that the brief filed by one of the
counsel for appellee had printed in large
letters in the middle of each page his
name, profession and address, and SAID
the same attorney had violated the rule
in another case before the court. The
court remanded the case to the docket,
irving permission to the attorney to
withdraw his brief and file another that
would comply with the rule. when the
clerk was directed to again submit the
ease.
The supreme court reversed and re-
manded for trial as to amount OF dam
ages the case of the |. C. railroad against
f. l.. Fuller ct al. This was the second
time the case went to the supreme court,
the first instance the court holding mat
peremptory instructions for the railroad
should not have been given. At the next
trial. in Alfalfa county, Mrs. Fuller was
given a verdict for $4,000 for the death
of her husband, who was run over ana
killed by a train. The supreme court
holds that as the man who was Killed
was "a years of age, he probably would
not have earned more than $4,000 il he
had lived the full expectancy OF SIX ana
q half years, and instructions regarding
punitive damages should not nave beer
given to the jury, as evidence showed
