THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Frank M Byrne on Tues.
day presented to the legislative as
sem5ly of South Dakota, converting
in thirteenth regular session, his In
augural Adde'S, covering many mat
tiers of general interest to the people
of this state.
It is what his supporters expected
of him. Many matters Of general con.
Germ are discussed frankly, and the
legislature urged to take such 10
ton as seems advisable. The exper-
fence the governor has had as . mem
Der of the legislature during several
terms, and as presiding officer Of the
senate two year ago, qualiiies him TO
speak with knowledge concerning
these matters. Il 10 probable that
the legislature will give much heed

THE BIENNIAL GRIND

SouthDakota 'slegislature convened
Tuesday noon for the biennial SEES
sion of sixty days and new execu-
tive administration will enter upon
its duties.
The last legislature committed
many serious blunders in legislation
and its successor ought to so shape
its business that it will do we'll all
that it does, even if it produces but
little.
Tim state can stand short crop of
laws, with the large surplus in its
possession.
The last legislature represented the
average legislative intelligence. It's
mistake was in permitting it's bust
ness to SO accumulate that, during
the closing few days, it enacted a
mass of conflicting and poorly matur-
ed measures and INDUCED in incon-
sistencies that surprised itself during
the cooler period of reflection.
The experience OF two years ago
will probably influence the legisla-
ture to better serve its constituency
this time, to give to bills the deliber
alton of wisdom, to create no more
enactments during the closing days
OF the session period, after the com.
mittees have had time to consider and
report.
The people of the state are looking
to the new legislature to retrieve
some of the errors of the past SEES
sion and to generally exercise the
same care that its members would
apply to their personal business af
fairs.
