LIMITING SALOONS
Deadwood Business Men Protest
Against the Proposed
Law

Deadwood, Feb. o .-Business inter
ests are vigorously opposing the pas
sage of house bill No. IN which pro
poses to limit the saloons in South
Dakota to n to every thousand of
population. Ii is estimated that this
reduction would mean a direct loss to
Deadwood of approximately $75, 900
annually. This includes rent now paid
by eleven saloons which would be
eliminated under the proposed law, at
an average rate of fS5 per month, of
$4,000, wages with three persons in
each saloon drawing now about 500
per month each, of $50, 900, light 49,
800, water $3.50, incidental expenses
which include heat. gas. laundry, ETC..
of $40, 900, and licenses of about 50, 900.
Those who would be thrown out of
work here by the bill. together with
the families dependent on them, mum
Der about n hundred persons while
the vacating of eleven buildings in the
business section here would result. it

THEY CLASH
South Dakota Delegation Con-
test Rosebud Land Of
flee Change

Washington, Feb. 10. The Office of
Walter l.. Fisher, secretary of the in
terror, in the Pstten building, was the
scene Of an exciting hearing on the
proposal TO consolidate the land Offices
now located ut Chamberlain and Greg
oIy, g. d., and locate the new Office at
Carter, farther west in the Rosebud
country. The hearing was conducted
by Secretary Fisher. Those present
were Senators Gamble and Crawford
and Representatives Burke and Martin
Senator Crawford limited at corruption,
and much personal feeling was de-
veloped, but in the end the secretary
said he had been through these con
troversies before and was not alto
gether without experience in consider
ing them. He understood how politics
enters into them, and he said that
about all he could say for the case
before him was hat it had lent inter
est to what otherwise might have
been a very dull afternoon. As to
acting in the matter, the secretary
said be first would find out definitely
what the Chicago and Northw estern
Railway company proposes to do in the
way of extending its line to Carter.
lie did not think il would be Wise to
anticipate the building of the exten.
sion. He will learn definitely from the
president of the road.
Secretary Fisher said the mere fact
that some interest or some individual
would be benefited by the location of
the land Office at a certain point
would not deter him from locating it
at that point If he was convinced
that this point was the proper place
for il.
The hearing was the result of a let
ter written January % by Senator
Crawford to Secretary Fisher. in which
the senator said he understood that
the proposed location of the land office
at Carter was TO be a reward to the
sons Of Frank ID. jackson, former gov
ernoI of Iowa, for an alleged attempt
to defeat Dean Sterling for the United
States senate, and that Senator Gam
tie and Congressman Burke and Mar
tin would unite in an effort to bring
this about.
Senator Crawford sent a copy of this
letter to President Taft, saying: Il
think you ought to know what the real
influences are back of a scheme of this
kind"
The president made the following
notation upon the corner of the Craw-
ford letter: Refer to Senator Gamble
and Representatives Burke and Martin.
W. II. T."
Photographic copies of the Crawford
letter then were taken at the White
House and the senior senator and the
two representatives each received one.

THE LEGISLATURE
Bills for Commission Governed
Cities-lncrease in Sala-
ries Proposed

Pierre, Feb. t0.-The advent of the
bill for the government of commission
governed cities. in the senate created a
sensation. One of the features
expected to attract considerable atten.
tion is the increase in the salaries. An
entire schedule of salaries for cities of
varying population is given, starting
with cities OF 1900 or less where the
mayor will receive $3.50 per annum
and the commissioners 500. In cities
having a population between IL, 500 and
90, 900, which would include Sioux
Falls. the salaries ale So, 400 for the
mayor and 81, 500 for the commissioners
with an increase to 50. 900 for the
mayor and to 50. 600 for the commits
sioners If a commission of three is chos-
en-. That is also the maximum salary
paid.
One provision which will be attack
ed and perhaps greatly altered is that
for a recall. 1t provides that to recall
a commissioner. ten men must file a
petition with the city auditor and he
will advertise the filing of the petition
which states the charges upon which
the removal of the officials is sought
Voters desiring to sign the petition
will be required to call at the Office of
the city auditor to sign to aud he may
require sworn proof of their right tc
sign it. 1t requires the signatures of
10 per cent of the voters of the city.
which is the requirement of the present
law.
1t is apparent that the law as pro-
posed would render the ecall practical
ly imperative and that ii does not offer
the desired remedy. Nearly all of the
legislators are in favor of raising the
percentage of signers required but do
not indorse the method proposed.
The house passed the bill appropriate
ing $40, 600 to pay the expenses of old
soldiers who fought at Gettysburg to
attend the iftieth anniversary of that
battle. The debate on the bill brought
forth eloquent speeches by Representa-
tives Mcfarland and Morris, both of
whom advocated its passage. 1t has
been passed by the senate and will
become q law when the governor signs
it.

and freight rates on railroads in south

is estimated, in a reduction Of rents
in Deadwood If from 25 to 40 per cent,
and a reduction Of rents in practically
every city and town of consequence in
the state. The production of barley,
corn, rye, hops, etc. would also be
curtailed in the state, according to To-
cal business men who declare that un
der the present law, there has been less
crime in this city than ever before in
its history and that the saloons are to-
day better Iegulsted. Deadwood and
Lead each have fifteen saloons, due
largely TO the fact that they are the
centers of mining communities and
they would be harder hit by the pro
posed law than any part of the state
and are bending all their energies to-
ward defeating the measure.
