On the Richards Law.

Pierre.-On inquiry Attorney Cen
eral Johnson has rendered an opinion
on a number of features of the Rich
ards primary law which haYe been
submitted to him in numerous in
quiries coming from all parts of the
state. The queries, ten in number,
are as to the length of time a judge
has to file his petition under the law;
is article VIII. in force at the present
time; as to the right Of a person who
registers as a Republican to be a can
didate for postmaster under the law;
as to what are the duties in regard to
enrolment, and other features. These
are taken W n answered fully, and
in substance are: The first query is
answered that under the provisions OF
the law, candidates for supreme and
circuit court judges have n day in
which to secure filings on their petit
lions and present it to the secretary
of state; in regard to the second pro-
vision the opinion Of Justice Corson
is followed, which holds that all party
committees are wiped out by the law,
and that there is no legal way to COM
pei a call of an election for postmaster
primaries; further, that the candidates
for postmaster must file petitions con
! tanning not more than ten per cent nor
less than fifteen per cent of the en-
rfolled voters of the party in power,
and that on the vote all voters of
whatever party may lake a part. He
does not consider that the courts
would hold a ballot to be invalid be-
cause the voter failed to indicate a
second choice on his ballot. In regard
to the matter of party enrolment he
takes the position that such action is
one which concerns the individual to
a greater extent h a it does an Off
cial, and it is w to the voter to get his
name on the enrolment lists. In con-
| clusion, he assumes that certain indi-
viduals will not agree with hin and
that he will be ready to help any such
to make a test in the supreme court
at any time.

BARS OFFICE SEEKER
PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS ONLY
THOSE HE INVITES CAN TAKE
UP HIS TIME.
STARTS WORK WITH A RUSH
Democrats In Senate and House Be-
gin Changes at Once and BustIe Of
New Administration Startles the
Old Timers.

Washington, March President
Wilson had notified all office seekers
that he did not intend talking to them
before the White House clock struck
ten Wednesday morning Inside Of
the next hour he had held and re-
ceived and accepted the resignation
of the old cabinet, held a meeting Of
the new cabinet, made two important
appointments to the Interstate COM
merce commission and dictated half a
dozen letters.
The interstate commissioners named
were Edgar C.. Clark of Iowa, to sue
coed himself. and John H. Marble.
secretary Of the commission, to sue
ceed Franklin X. Lane, who went into
the cabinet.
Thus was inaugurated the most
sweeping change of administration
kabitant in Washington, a change
that is complete in both legislative
and executive branches of the govern
ment.
Not to be outdone by the swift dis
patch Of business at the White House,
the Democrats took v e the control
of the senate by electing John w.
Kern majority leader, while the house
Democrats in caucus made sure the
reelection Of Speaker Clark and Lead
er Underwood and gave to A. Mitch
ell Palmer the caucus craftsmanship
thai will enable him to represent the
administration on the floor.
Meanwhile the national committee
had met and made plans for continu-
ing in control of the government four
years from now. Altogether it was
a day of action such as took away
the breath of the slow-going Republi-
car
Members of the cabinet arrived
while President Wilson was talking
with Mr.. Crane. Josephus Daniels,
the new secretary of the navy, was
first, and he was followed by Lindley
war; William G.. Wilson, the first sec
rotary Of labor; William Jennings
Bryan, secretary of state; Franklin
X. Lane, who leaves the chairman
ship Of the Interstate commerce COM
mission to become secretary of the
interior; David F. Houston, chancel-
lor of Washington university, st.
Louis, who becomes secretary of agri-
culture; Albert s. Burleson, who
gives up his place in the house to be
postmaster general; William B. Red
field, another member of congress.
who becomes secretary of commerce,
and James G.. McReynolds, attorney
general. William G. McAdoo, the new
secretary Of the treasury, was last.

From the Capitol City. the various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts OF
the Sunshine State.

Pierre.-The thirteenth legislative
work of it's sixty days session Friday
night.
1t has beer a session which has
placed a number Of progressive stat
utes upon the books, among them be-
ing the creation of a state tax com
mission to attempt to improve the
system of taxation in this state; one
providing for submission to the people
of the question of a convention for re-
vision of the state constitution, which
is now a quarter of a century old, and
a number of amendments to the con-
stitution, one of which is for equal suf-
frage.
Another measure in the important
class is one for mothers pensions,
where a mother is left to support
small children, and a bluesky law for
the supervision of investment paper
offered to the to the people of the
state.
While a long list of the bills passed
are of purely local Importance, a
greater number of measures of state

Hard to Keep a Quorum.
The house adopted the senate blue
sky" act Friday afternoon, and the
senate passed the house mothers pen
sion act. With a lot of work yet to
complete, both houses started the eve
ming session with a number of alb
sentees.
Thompson, of the house insurance
committee, made a fight on the floor
to secure reconsideration of the report
on insurance publication matters, as
he wanted to get an insert for main
tanning a paid lobby, but he was not
able to secure his desire, the house
being against lin.
The afternoon session was given
over in large part to consideration of
amendments which had been offered
in one house or the other. The capital
grounds appropriation is the sore
spot which yet continues to call out
bowls every time it is touched, and
the situation the last evening was ap,

parently no nearer a solution than it

Pamphlet Law Repealed.

Pierre.-The Curtis publicity pam
phlet, which was the cause of so much
contention in the last legislative ses-
sion, and all through the campaign OF
last summer and fall, is no longer a
part of the law of this state, having
been repealed when the house adopted
the senate bill requiring publication of
amendments and referred laws in the
newspapers of the state instead of by
pamphlet publicity. The fight was a
warm one by the minority, but the
bill went through with an easy ma
jority when the vote was secured. The
house also adopted the senate act for
a state game preserve on the state for.
est lands near Custer, in the Black
Hills, and the act carries with it an
appropriation of SIS, 900 from the game
fund surplus for fencing and stocking
this reserve of several townships in
the heart of the Black Hills.

Not Sensational.

Pierre.-The last of the investigat-
ing committees to report was the one
on the matter of double salaries for
state officers and employees. The re-
port is not one to cause any great stir,
the Investigations having beer direct
ed toward the adjutant general and
the state engineers departments. In
the summary the members say that
the payment of double salaries to the
state engineer was nder the advice
of the attorney general, and appeared
to have been to the best interests of
the state, but that it was a dangerous
precedent and one which should not
occur again. As to the adjutant gen
eral, his accounts were found badly
tangled with chicken raising, ice cut
ting and restaurant affairs. The re-
port declares hat if the vouchers are
perfectly made out and presented
most of them will be allowed by the
state auditor.
Funds for University.
Vermillion.-The state legislature in
session at Pierre appropriated $751;
900 for the erection of a chemistry
building at the state university of
South Dakota. The building is to be
fireproof and modern. After it is
completed it will be occupied by the
state food ~and~drug commission and
state health laboratory, the old build
ing being inadequate for the proper
handling of these state branches. Eff
teen thousand dollars is appropriated
for the coming fiscal year and 100000
for the year following.
County Auditors Meet.
Pierre.-The law providing for the
meeting of county auditors at Pierre
with he board of equalization and
assessment has been repealed and the
report Is current about the state that
tile county auditors will not meet in
Pierre this spring as usual. This the
DRY is an error, for the repeating act
does not carry with it an emergency
clause, for the express reason that the
newly created tax commission desires
to meet the county auditors this
spring that they may get q line on
their duties
