THE CRIMINAL COURT.

1t is to be hoped that the courts
will speedily decide the questions
which have been raised involving the
constitutionality of the criminal court
of this county. For several years the
lawyers have been shaking their
heads obviously and intimating that
there were grave doubts about the
establishment of this court being in
harmony with the organic laws OF the
state. When the suggestion was
made that the law should be 80
amended as to stop appeals from the
county to the circuit court, lawyers
declared that this could not be done
because the criminal court was de-
fective in its organization.
The Herald does not know whether
or not there is any merit In the Plea

he will introduce at the proposed OK

There Is doubtless no immediate
necessity with prevailing sources OF
government income and revenues un-
disturbed for the imposition OF an
income tax by congress. However,
the democrats propose, if they carry
into effect platform pledges radical
reduction of tariff duties. 1t is prob
able that this will necessitate the
raising of revenues from other sourc-
%, in which event better or fairer
or more equitable method could not
be devised than the imposition of the
income tax.
The income tax Is much fairer
method for raising revenue than the
tariff duty. The former taxes man
In proportion to his ability to pay;
the latter Is tax exclusively upon
consumption. Many Of the necessi-
ties of life have tariff duty imposed
npon them. These necessities are
frequently as much used by the poor

the same. II the coming democratic
congress Ia really progressive and is
true to democratic principles it will

THE REplsrRlcTlNe BILL.

Organs of the liquor power in Ten.

not sufficient to connect them up with
the crime alleged in the indictment.
Considerable sensation was caused
when the defense put c. Fl. Bartlett,
an attorney of Sioux Falls ON the
stand, TO testify concerning an inter
view with the states chief witness,
ClaRd Smith.
The state attempted to prove an
alibi on hehalf of Smith, and also to
establish the reputation Of Bartlett as
to truth and vsracity, at Platte and
in Charles Mix county, by iatroduc-
ing several witnesses who testified
about it.
Both sides rested in the afternoon,
and States Attorney Ambrose B. b.

prosecution. who was followed by AL

IRRIGATION SURVEY
Great Interest in Gigantic Plan
to Harness the Missouri
River

Pierre. July g. -After several
menths of effort. arrangements now
are about completed for the making
of a preliminary SUI vey of ore of the
greatest irrigation and water storage
projects in the history of the west.
The project has as a part of it's plan
the storage of the food waters of the
Missouri and other rivers. thus reduc.
ing by millions Of gallons the volume
of food waters which in the past
have poured down the Missouri river
and aided 10 the destruction of proper
ty on the lower Mississippi river.
The food waters thus stored in huge
reservoirs at different points will be
utilized for irrigating farm lands. 1t
is estimated that the flood waters
thus stored will be in sufficient vol.
ume to irrigate 5000, 600 acres of
land, much of which now is practical
ly worthless for agricultural purposes
because of insufficient rainfall during
the growing season.
1t is estimated that this immense
water storage and irrigation project
will cost about $50, 600. 900 to COM
plete. If the preliminary survey
which is now about to commence
proves the project to be feasible. con
gress will be asked to accept the pro
ject ss a national one and appropriate
the sum necessary to carry it to a sue
cessful conclusion.
The preliminary survey will COM
mence during the closing days of July
or the forepart Of August. So inn
mense is the project that the pre-
liminary survey alone will cost from
81, 900 to IS, 600.
