LAWFUL TO SHIP GAME
THAT is LAWFULLY KILLED

Aberdeen, s.. D., Dec. lin an
opinion given State Game Warden
Hedrick, Attorney General Royal c.
Johnson holds that it is not unlawful
for a person to ship. or for a common
carrier to receive for shipment or to
ship, any game animal, bird or fish
lawfully killed. Chapter 240, section so.
game laws. passed by the legislature
of 1909, states that any person may
ship game lawfully killed as baggage.
but there is no prohibition against
shipment by express or freight, and
the attorney general holds that mas
much as a person is entitled to the
use n possession of certain game
during certain seasons of the year.
providing he has a license, the pro-
hibition Of his shipping same would
counteract the good of the license.
Attorney General Johnson holds,
however. that the law is not free from
doubt n recommends that the state
game warden take the matter up with
the next legislature to adopt the sys-
tenn in use in Minnesota and other
northwest states, where a hunter is
given shipping coupons for a limited
amount of game along with his license.

light STARTED AGAINST
CONTINGENT FUND SYSTEM

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 2.-Attorney Gem
erai johnson has refused to bring an
original action in the supreme court,
on behalf of John Longstaff, of Huron,
to restrain the state auditor from is
suing warrants upon the contingent
und OF the insurance, militia, game,
dairy, public examiner, fire marshal
and stock o departments, basing his
refusal on the ground that the action
is brought for purely political pur-
poses. The theory upon which the
pieadlngs in the proposed action is
based is that there has been no ex-
press appropriation of the money in
these FUNDS, as required by the consti-
tuition. The constitution provides tina
no money shall be paid out of the state
treasury except pursuant to an express
appropriation thereof; and in case of
special appropriation a two-thirds vote
or the legislature is required. Each of
the funds complained of are fees col
lected by the respective offices and
paid into the treasury. The statute in
each case provides that they shall be
paid out for incidental expenses of the
several offices named, but not appro-
priating the money in express terms,
and in some instances without the two
thirds majority. The question involved
has long been under discussion and
lawyers differ in relation to it. Such
IN action can only be brought in the
supreme court upon the consent of the
attorney general. What further action

JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS
ARE NOW POSSIBLE

Pierre. S. D., Nov. 2S.-Because of
a manifest conflict in the Richards
primary election law relating to the
petitions of circuit judges, Secretary
of State Glassner holds, by advice Of
the attorney general, that nominating
petitions Of circuit judges will be &C
cepted 80 days prior to the primary,
as provided in section so of the law,
but that signatures for such petitions
may be secured n time previous to
that period, although the law express
~ holds that these signatures must
be secured within three months before
the primary.
Due to the fact of February being
a short month, a literal Interpretation
of h law would give circuit judges
only one day to secure such sigma
lures in order to comply with the two
conflicting provisions, as one is thai
such signatures must be secured with
in three months before the primary and
the other that such petition must be
filed 80 days before the primary.
Attorney General Johnson is advis-
ing a liberal construction of this stat
ute In every way, because of the alb
solute irnpossibilities in it's literal pro-
visions. The secretary of state, for the
same reason, is pursuing a imilar
policy.

Garden City, S. D.. Nov. 29.-Since
he recent disastrous fire here, which

and an investigation now is being
quietly made in the hope that a clew
can be secured which will result in
the arrest Of the guilty person. Six
business houses We're destroyed, leav-
Ing but three standing in that half Of
the block. The fire, as near as can be
ascertained, started in a small room
above a barber shop and soon spread
to adjoining buildings and caused the
