Huron. s. D., July 29.--what is the
law in this state regulating elections
at which the question of Issuing IL
censes to liquor dealers is submitted
to q vote of the. people2 Is the law in
the 1913 session laws really a law or
is IL not? III 1t is not, is the old law,
still In effect; or is there, perhaps, no
law at all governing the matter?
These questions are being asked by
Representative Ernest ID. EIDE of Beadle
county, and an important point in the
discussion raised by Mr.. Eide will cause
much conjecture throughout the state.
Representative EIDE points out that
in the 1918 session laws OF South Da-
kota on page SIG, under Intoxicating
Liquors" the following appears:
20" and IL a majority OF the vot-
ers Of such township, town or city vot-
ing on such proposition shall vote In
favor of such sale of Intoxicating
liquors at retail, the corporate author
tiles thereof shall grant permission for
such sale for the ensuing year in ac-
cordance with the provisions OF this
act" *. - eisf.f r
Now, Mr.. Eide says further that the
law known as house bill No $50, passed
the house without the words voting On
such proposition" which follow the
word city" While the bill was be-
fore the temperance committee, which
met in open session, the same question
was brought up, a motion being made
that this clause be added. II was voted
down, however, In the house, on Feb
ruary Is, Representative Ruckman, of.
Brown county, moved that the bill be.
amended by adding these same words
after city, but the amendment was
lost and the bill passed the house with

The bill was engrossed and went to

or \ senate, senate journal page 1888
on February %, Mr.. EIDE finds that
h bill passed that body without
amendment. 1t was then signed by
the governor. 4 T.
While definite knowledge gained from

that only by bringing the questionTbe-
