INSURANCE CODE SPECIAL ORDER
The House Makes Import ant Measure Subject of Special Consideration To day. Woods Senate Bill on Corporations.

There is q large amount of important legislation pending before the legislat- ure that will appear this week for dis cussion. Last week was a busy week and more was done by either house than had been done by both houses put together during the preceding weeks of the session. The attempt Of the so- Ions to accomplish much was evident from the way in which they slashed into the calendar. At this however there is much more that will receive i the same sort of treatment.
 | In the house the most important matter that will receive discussion to- , day is the Insurance code. known as house bill g. This bill was introduced 1 by the committee on banking and in surance, and is to be made by unani- nous consent the special order of busi- ness for today. The code committee have given notice that it is to be con
 sidered as d code bil and under this
 decision it will receive special position and consideration.
 The bill is planned to fill place in | the statutes of the state that has here 1 tofore been vacant, there being now no 1 laws upon the statute books for the 1 particular government of insurance
 companies. It is based largely upon
 the recommendations of the state eX-
 aminer PIunkett who submitted a spe- cial report on insurance companies ear l ly in the session. The recommenda- i tions reached the committee on bank ! ing and insurance in due course and 1 many of them have been embodied in 1 the bill
 | The corporation commission is given i control of the insurance companies as 1 it also has control of other public cor 1 porations It provides for statements 1 by the companies, examinations by i state officers. the investment of capi- l tai and surplus, the deposit of securi 1 ties making the state responsible for the securities deposited, taxes and the control of every sort of insurance company.
 More Power Granted.
 In a bill introduced by Senator Wood of Maricopa on Saturday, the corpora tion commission is given power to fix the hours and wages of the employees of public service corporations. This bill has especial application to those com panies that are not now already cov- cred by an hours of labor law. It's pur- pose is to deprive companies from re- | lengthening their hours of labor in or 1 der to make a greater return upon their investment than is allowed by the rates

Appropriations.

There is war on the Roberts meas ure providing the states appropriations for the coming two years. The senator from Cochse has made q number of arbitrary reductions that do not meet with the approval of the house com- mttee and upon which the senate com mttee is divided His cutting of salar- ies in the various departments has brought everyone up in arms against the bill and d brave fight in the senate is looked for to make the appropria- tionS of such sums. especially for tho educational institutions of ,he state commensurate with tht growth ot the state and the immense demands that are being put upon the educational in stitutions of the state. The education al boards are endeavoring to get the best instructors and to keep the stand ard of the schools as high as possible. All of this takes money.

Picknockets and Letter Boxes.

When detectives are trying to find
the meeting place OF pickpockets that
are working in neighborhood they
often ask the letter carriers to help
them. The pOstman can tell them IN
what mail boxes he finds the most
empty pocketbooks.
After a thief has picked mans s
pocket he wants to get rid OF the
empty purse as soon as he can. and
what could be easier than to drop the
looted wallet in q mail box? Then II
won't be found Oh him and nobody
can say he saw him throw it away.
After every big convention the letter
carriers find many empty pocketbooks
in the bOxes.-New York Sun.

STUDYING THE VOLUME
OF THE RIVERS

Tne water resources OF South
Dakota are being investigated by
the water-resOurses branch of the
United States Geological Survey
in cooperation with other govern
ment bureaus, with particular re-
ference to the flow of surface
waters. In this connection gaging
stations are maintained on Graz d
river at Wakpala, White river at
Interior and WestOver. Little
White river at WestOver and Belle
Fourche river at Bell Fourche.
These gaging stations are main
tanned in cooperation with the
United States Indian Office and
the Reclamation service. AT
these stations the height or stage
of the rivers is determined each
day by local observers and at some
stations by automatic cages, and
measurements OF the discharge of
the streams are made by engineers
of the survey. From these data
the quantity of water flowing past
the stations is determined. Stream
flow records find their greatest use
in South Dakota in the design,
construction, and maintenance of
power plants, irrigation projects.
and works for river regulation and
municipal water supplies. Such
records are necessary also in all
other problems in which the
quantity of water is involved, such
as those relating to the classified.
tior of the public lands, Carey Act
examinations, land drainage. steam
pollution. water storage, seepage,
and food control.

Chinese Music.

Chinese Music.
The Chinese have eight instruments
for making their ritual music-the bell.
the flute. the drum. the sonorous stone.
the fife. the plume. the shield and the
ak. The last three make no music, but
are used as decoration or emblem in
the musical ceremonies and are emu
merated as musical instruments. In
every ceremony there are always two
instruments Of each kind, sometimes
as many as four or six, never an odd
number. in order to emphasize the
duality Of the Chinese people. For in
stance. one drum announces the be-
ginning Of the music, and it's mate
strikes the last note; one bell calls,
and its counterpart answers.

A LOOK AHEAD.

Suppose you knew you were goihs
tc die next week!
Suppose you had inadvertently
swallowed a bichloride of mercury
tablet, and physician had been
summoned and told you solemnly
that you could live no longer thah
next Thursday!
Your family would very likely see
some change in your conduct. as you
would observe some change in the
conduct of those about you. What a
Loving. considerate household you
would inhabit; you loving the pres
ence of all about you, and those OF
the household exerting every endeav-
or to please your every within. NO
time for cross words, no time for
criticism.
These thoughts are suggested by
the experience of the Macon banker
B, Sanders Walker, who may even at
this writing be dead, because he was
unfortunate enough to misktake a BIZ
chloride of mercury tablet for some
thing desirable to take.
Strange thing it is. how consider
ate we become for people whose span
OF life is definitely measured-even
having commiseration for criminals
condemned to death--OverloOking the
fact that the span of all lives Is fixed
to end at some definite point ahead.
You pity, and you are kind. to the
nan near you doomed to die within
week; but you mayhap are unkind
to another individual near you who
may die before the sun goes down.
We imagine that something would
be gained for life if we would now
and then stop to consider that down
the road somewhere there is STOP
ping place for us. some day fixed in
the calendar of our lives when We
will lie down to die to consider that
each day and each hour of each day
brings us nearer to that definite
point. 1t seems that the days wolld
have more value, and the sunrise anE
the sun set more sweetness, if We
realized more fully that soon We
shall know them no more.-Orland
