Among other points brought out in
the testimony of Judge Policy was the
fact that no records of any kind have
been kept of the meetings of the state
printing commission.
Judge Policy did not recollect that
any meeting of the commission had
ever been attended by fewer than two
members, but n of the local con.
tractors is authority for the statement
that Mr.. Policy, then secretary of state,
was the only member of the commits
sion present when the last contract
was let.
Members of the investigating COM
mittee have proceeded far enough to
learn that a real joker exists in the
legislative enactment fixing the five
cl~assiications of state printing, and
they are inclined to assume that the
joker was slipped through at the in
stigation of the contractors.

The heads OF the different STATE
boards and some state officers have
been in the past charged with calling
meetings on state business at towns
la which political conventions, the
state fair, or some other state meet
ing was to be held, charging milagt
to the the state for attending these
meetings. This Is being objected to IL
some quarters, and a bill is being
pose the prohibiting OF the state au
ditor from accepting travel vouchers
of these boards and officials, which is
arranged at the same town and on the
same dates as the state meetings. The
charge is made that these meetings
of the boards are only called at such
time and place to allow the members
an opportunity to get into the lime
light at such places at public expense,
and that IL they desire to attend such
meetings they should do so on the
same footing with other residents oil
the state, and may pay their way just
the same.
r. o. Richards is on the ground for
the first time during the legislative ses-
sion. He brought with him for intro
duction a draft of a bill for another or.
ganization law. His effort this time Is
the construction OF a state bureau OF
information for the purpose of enabl-
ing the people of South Dakota to en-
joy the benefit of organized informa,
ton relative to the employment of
labor and the buying and selling of live
stock, grains, seeds and more import
ant items of farm produce.
The secretary of the state board of
agriculture is to be the state commits
siener OF said bureau.
The register Of deeds in each county
is to be the commissioner of said
bureau Of the county.
Anybody car register their wants
for labor, live stock or cereals, ETC.,
with any register Of deeds as buyers
or sellers. This information Is for
warded or daily advice sheets to the
state commissioner, who tabulates
same and notifies by postal card the
two who come nearest supplying each
others wants. There will be no ex.
pense in operation of the bureau for
the first two years, except postage and
printing. 1t Is claimed for the idea,

For the first time. one house Of the
legislature has adopted a state tax
commission measure. and while II will
meet with more or less opposition
when It gets to the house. II has a
good start, and the chances are more
favorable for its enactment this ses.
sion than ever before in the history
of the state.
Two bills for the benefit of the
rural schools were started, n by Mir
rissey in the senate specifically ap-
propriating $4,000 state aid, with a
smaller appropriation for state super.
vision, and another by Leedom in the
house to promote the study OF agri-
culture and home economics in the
country schools.
EIDE added to his bill to prevent
voters from being hauled to the polls
by prohibiting any promises Of sup
port or any other inducements in po-
litical campaigns, and a resolution for
a constitutional amendment for a state
board Of control to look after all state
institutions.
All OF the members who went
through the grind Of the last day two
years ago are anxious to avoid such a
condition of congested calendar at
the close of the present session, and
with the work of Speaker Tscharner,
who does not allow the business of
the house to lag for a minute while
it is in session, a long step is taken
toward keeping business closed up as
the days go by. Along with this are
resolutions which demand that COM
mittees shall report all bills within ten
days from the time they are sent to
committee, which might cause some
inconvenience in regard to some meas
ures which need a great deal of fixing
over before they finally become laws,
at the same time if such a rule be
adopted it will mean an incentive to-
ward getting bills out as rapidly as
possible on the part of the committees.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the state printing contracts open

daily journals, the two propositions

been patched a great deal since 1t was
originally adopted by the people in
1889. A number OF efforts in that d.

The Aberdeen contingent Is working
hard on the bills which have been in
troduced in both the house and senate
of education to establish certain lines
in the university class in the normal
schools of the state. This Is a policy
which the regents have steadily re-
fused to consider, demanding that the
normal schools be devoted to normal
school work exclusively, and that
courses Of study which will tend to
put them into the university class"
be kept out of such institutions. 1t is
now a question which the legislature
has to deal with, and will come to an
issue at an early date, as the Aberdeen
boosters are steadily grinding away
on the proposition, and expect to be
ready to get 1t to a vote at an early !
date.

JAMMED CALENDAR
BEFORE CONGRESS
General Legislation Believed
to Have Little Chance at
This Session.

WASHINGTON, Jan. with final
adjournment Of the sixty-second con
gress exactly two months away, the
mouse today confronted damned cal
endar and grist OF supply bills that
promised weary days and sleepless
nights Tor the Legislators Up to the
tnal moment OF the session.
Only a single appropriation bill, the
legislative, executive and judicial sup
ply measure, has been passed by the
mouse. The Indian appropriation bill
is now under consideration and it
should be completed early next week.
The big appropriation measures, which
involve vast amount Of detail likely
to cause lengthy discussion, are still to
come. The postOffice appropriation
bill has been reported from the commit.
tee and is awaiting action by the
house.
The military affairs committee has
practically completed the army bill,
which is expected to develop consider
able friction. Besides these, there re-
main the naval appropriation bill, with
ITS prospects for q fight on the bat
tleship program, the military academy
bill, the agricultural appropriation bill,
voluminous sundrY civil bill and the
two so called "pork barrel" bills for
river and harbor Improvement, and
public buildings.
With these projects piled UP for the
next two months, Representative Fitz-
gerald, chairman of the appropriations
committee, declared today that the
house would soon be forced to call
night sessions for the consideration Of
appropriation bills, He said that com.
mittees would have the supply measure
ready for action on the floor before
the house was ready for it. Mr..
Fitzgerald believes general legislation
will have little chance on the floor.
Members Of the house are looking
forward to about month Of night and
day grinding just before the conclusion
OF the session, and the leaders are
already making plans to hold a quorum
of members, that work may be rushed
through.
