IMPORTANT TO sRookINes

The state railroad commission at a
meeting last week called to consider
telephone rates, gave out the follow
ing statement, which will be Of inter-
est to Brookings telephone patrons:
THE commission contends that
where a patron on any part Of an ex-
change calls up a subscriber on that
exchange he shall not be charged any
more for the service than If the sub
scriber called up that patron. This
has been done quite extensively all
over the state, allowing farmers to
call up persons in the cities or towns
where the central office is located free
of charge, but charging patrons resid-
ing in that city or town a small fee
to call up subscribers on the farm
lines. The commission contends that
charges for service must be the same
both ways: that IL a charge Is made
to talk one way the anne charge must
be made to talk In the opposite direc
ton, or no charges can be made fol
talking In either direction"

NEW FRAUDS

Documentary evidence was received
at the Secretary of States office today
disclosing new frauds in connection
with the initiative primary law petition
filed by Mr.. James Coffey Of Aberdeen,
last March, says a Pierre dispatch.
1t may be remembered that soon
after the filing of the petition many
forgeries were reported and atidavits
published from various persons whose
signatures had been forged to the
petition.
Now comes the news of further
frauds. 1t appears that the Johnson
Coffee-Taubman democratic ~organiza-
ton started the Initiative petitions for
direct legislation upon two proposed
laws last February. One for a bank
deposit guarantee law; the other for a
party primary law to repeal the Rich
ards law just enacted by a direct vote
of the people. 1t nov appears that
both petitions failed Of a plethora Of
signatures to meet the CONSTITUTIONAL
requirement, so the bank deposit guar
antee petition was temporarily drop
ped, and part of it transferred to the
primary petition without the know
ledge and consent of the citizens who
signed same. Numerous affidavits
have lately been made by citizens of
Mobridge whose names have been thus
falsely used.
The penalty for forging a signature
to an initiative and referendum petit
ton is quite severe. 1t is a felony
with a $4,000 fine and five years in
penitentiary for each signature.
The penalty for Justification OF an in
strument filed in a public Office is also
a felony and penitentiary offense in
this state.

GOOD AND BAD

H. L. Hopkins is keeping a pretty
close tab on the crop situation in the
northeastern part Of the state, and he
sums up the situation to date as fol.
lows: The crop through the Sioux
Valley is generally good, as this sec
ton has had frequent rains. The Jim
River valley is somewhat poorer, and
is spotted in many sections. Around
Redfeld, Waubay, and Aberdeen there
are places where only a half crop will
be harvested, even with favorable con.
ditions from nov on. The corn gen.
orally Is looking good and has made
rapid progress In the last two weeks.

he is disappointed somewhat in its
prospects and does not believe that 1t
will yield over ~two-thirds what he had
anticipated. 1t is spotted in some
places and he does not know whether
this Is due to frost in the spring or
the recent hot weather. His corn. he
says, is doing fine and promises a
bumper crop. He planted his seed

CAPITOL NEWS

Brookings Register Bureau, Washington, DC.
(By j. e. Jones)
Within the memory OF the oldest in
habitant' the great harmony existing
in democratic circles in the capital,
and particularly in the circles of the
administration, and in congress, has
no competitor. While there have been
some mutterings over the way patron
age has been handled, and in the
progress of administration measures
in congress-, no real avowed opposi-
ton to the wishes of President Will
son have cropped out. 1t Is pecogniz-
ed that the quiet nan who sits in the
white house is absolute master of the
democratic situation, and none of the
old time democrats-if they still exist
in congress are willing to run the
risk of opposing his policies, because
they know not what the results may
be. While the president has in no
his methods are 30 clearly outlined,
and his course so direct that any on
gresham would lack wisdom who
could not plainly see the things that
are expected from him by this admins
tration. In the days when Taft, Roose-
welt, Mckinley, Harrison and Cleve-
land were presidents, a revolt against
the white house policies was not In
usual, but in the democratic ranks
there seems to be a slogan OF peace
at any price," and this is sufficient to
keep the small minority in line who
are not really at heart In sympathy
with the presidents plans. The
croakers who predicted that within
three or four months from the time
President Wilson went into Office, that
the democratic party would be split
in two, are not even looking for an
extension Of time for their guesses,
but most OF them are willing to admit
that the tariff bill is not going to bring
about any disruption in the ranks of
the party.
There never has been such a
thorough investigation Of the lobby
system as that brought out in the in
vestigation by the senate committee.
and while the disclosures have excited
less interest in Washington than out
side, yet there has been a good deal OF
light shed upon the methods by which
legislation Ia influenced. and the re
suits a hardly help but prove bene
fetal, especially to the more worth,

cultural and such interests which mus
