BANK GUARANTEE LAW
TRAVELS ROCKY ROAD

Pierre. S. D., Feb. 21.-It is quite evil
dent that the question OF bank guar
anty law will take the center Of the
stage as soon as the saloon restriction
bill has been disposed OF in both
branches. The Hale bill was reported
out In the senate with the majority
against the passage of the bill and the
minority asking for it's passage, but
the fellows having bank guaranty laws
IN the house committee have not been
floor, with or without favorable recon-
mendations.
One of the propositions which is re-
ceiving much favorable comment is
outlined in senate joint resolution No.
30. introduced by Senator Russell, an
Aberdeen banker This resolution
proposes a constitutional amendment
for mill tax of one-tenth of per
cent to be levied each year on all of
the taxable property of the state and
applied to the creation of bank
guaranty fund. When the money
reaches the sum Of $1,00O,000, it is pro-
vided that the collection of the special
tax shall cease until such time as the
fund gets below 100000. Provision is
made for use of the special fund in APP
proved investments and for the state
to stand directly as the guarantor of
all bank deposits, both state and ma
ttonal 1t is commended that the estab-
lishment of this system would auto
matically result in more rigid regula-
lions on the part of the bank examin-
Ing department and would greatly
lessen the liability of failures.

PRIMARY Law WILL
GO TO HIGHER COURT

Pierre. S. D., Feb. 21.-1n the history
of South Dakota affairs up to the pres
ent time but one initiated law has crept
Into the statutes-the Richards primary
law-and the array of flaws and loops
holes now known to exist in that meas
ure is not encouraging to another ex-
pertinent An additional danger of es-
tablishing initiated laws lies in the fact
that question exists whether the
legislature has the right to repeal or
amend such enactments. AS general
proposition it is apparent that the right
to amend would carry with it the right
to repeal. for the reason that it would
be comparatively easy to amend any
law to the point of annulling its pro-
visions.
3 On account of the various emer-
gencies existing with reference to the
Richards primary law, it is probable
that hearing will be held before the
supreme court within a few days as 10
the rights Of the legislature to tamper
with the measure. Attorney General
johnson will argue for such right, as
q matter of public policy. The attor-
ney general has given no personal rul-
ing on this subject and does not ex-
pect to do SO. as he prefers to leave
the question directly with the supreme
court.

FIVE PROPOSITIONS
REFERRED TO VOTERS

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 21.-There will be
at least five Initiated propositions be-
fore the voters of South Dakota at the
next general election in addition to a
formidable array of referended laws
and constitutional amendments. A pc
tition now has been filed for initiating
new regulations as to the granting of
saloon licenses making changes favor
able to the saloon interests, and the
following additional petitions are in
circulation:
Initiating a new primary law, with
repeal of the Richards law, which fol-
lows close to the former primary law,
except that party declarations are
omitted at the primary election.
Initiating bank guaranty law, said
to be a political move on the part of
the democrats,
Initiating a repeal OF the Sunday law
adopted four years ago, the movement
being promoted by the moving picture
and baseball men.
Initiation of the Dick Richards pro-
posal for state information bureau
The new primary law which the dem
ocrats are seeking to bring before the
people has been introduced in the sem
ate by Senator Morgan as a straight
Legislative proposition. but it is not ex-
pected that II will pass or that it would
be upheld in court if 1T should pass, for
the reason that 1t contains clause re-
pealing the Richards law, which was
adopted by direct vote of the people.

NEW IORh, oil. 4, 1OAOs
With the close of satisfactory and
even a good year the trades mind is
naturally turning towards the prospects
of the new year. Nobody can penetrate
with certainty the future, nor even pre-
dict with accuracy the events of the
coming day. Nevertheless, man is so
disposed as to concentrate his ideas,
cares and worries on what tomorrow
might bring him rather than rest con-
tent with the accomplishments of to-
day. And so nearly everybody INDUCES,
after celebrating the turning of the
years period, in speculation Of what
the near future might have in store for
him.
To Judge from the immediate past
the year just started in should promise
an improvement in the progress, ex-
pansion and profits of the trade if per-
mitted to go on in its normal course
without interference by disturbing ele-
ments. The tobacco crops have been
plentiful and of better than the aver
age quality. An abundance of proper
raw materiel to deal in is therefore Sc
cured. But right here the spectre
arises of an interference with the nor
NAL flow of trade by certain acts done
and to be expected by our national gov
ernment.
The other disturbing element will
manifest itself in the change of our
tariff policy assured in the outcome of
the last presidential election. Any tar
iff change has always produced uneasi-
ness in the world of commerce if for nc
other reason than because no manu-
70 ~, ,1o+ ~
gard to the cost of his products in
which articles enter subject to the
change of the tariff as long at least as
the change has not become an accom-
plished fact.
But as the consumption by the public
at large is not likely to be checked
except general industrial panic should
ensue in consequence of too radical
tariff change-the prospects for the re-
tail trade remain the most hopeful
ones. For greater volume of busi-
ness has been done by the retail to-
bacco trade last year than ever before
and this volume is certain to be in
creased by the enormous advertising
campaign that has been carried on and
is likely to be increased during the cur
rent year in order to stimulate and in
crease tobacco consumption. Ii ever,
the retail tobacco trade is on the road
of most expansive prosperity if not
in the size of profits then in the size
and volume of its business.
But whatever is likely to happen the
trade should not despair of righting it
self again even if suffering temporary
setbacks. 1t is the good fortune of the
American character to adapt itself
without much ado and tremor to chang
ed conditions. The resources of our
country are so inexhaustible and its re-
operative powers so unimpaired that
we can always face the future with
confidence. Journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Jan. 10, 1918.

EDGERToN, Wis, Jan. 10, 1918.
1t is question of very short time
when any mention of the buying move
ment, so far as it relates to the south
ern growing sections, will be thing of
the past. Only sparsely scattered lots
now remain unsold and the country dis
tricts are reported to be more closely
gathered in than any season at this
date for some years past. There is
considerable tobacco still unsold in the
Vernon county district but our advices
are that this is being quietly absorbed.
The stiff prices at which it is held have
prevented its sale up to this time.
A few out of town buyers have Wis
tied the local markets during the week
in search of old stock, but we do not
learn of the closing of any trades of
Importance. Contracts have been
placed with a number of packers for
their filters and low grades of late at
very satisfactory figures.
The deliveries at receiving points
have become regular every day occur
renee. While the report of some dock
ing reaches us, these matters are gen.
orally adjusted on the farms before re-
ceiving day.
Warehouse handling is now under
full swing at the packing points and
the scarcity of help is proving quite
embarrassing to some firms having a
large amount to handle.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 300 cases from this market to all
points since last report

The market has been very quiet this
week. Binders of all kinds are limited
in quantity, and with the exception of
Wisconsin BIS, seed filters are in great
abundance. Every one is waiting for
the 1912 Connecticut Havana seed,
which is being force sweated, and
which will be offered the trade early in
January.
Sumatra. importers have been pay
ing more attention to inventories and
stock taking the past week than to
anything else. Owing to this and the
holiday atmosphere business has been
at standstill. Leaf.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


A case Of considerable interest to to-
bacco growers was recently tried at the
December term of the Vernon county
circuit court. Samuel Ross. an exten-
sive grower of De Soto, Wis, brought
an action against Northrup, King &
Co., seedmen of st. Paul, the grounds
being that Comstock Spanish tobacco
seed ordered from the defendants
proved an entirely different variety, in
consequence of which the former suf-
fered a loss. When the crop was
grown, Mr.. Ross found that he had
raised Cuban tobacco that was sold at
a low price compared with the Com
stock seed that he supposed was sold
him. At the trial the defendants tes-
tilted that the usual disclaimer, mot
guaranteed true to name or nature, !"
was printed on all packages of seed
sold by seedmen. The plaintiff intro
duced testimony showing the market
value of crops sold by his neighbors
from Comstock Spanish seed as we'll as
his own crop of Cuba sold at less figure.
The jury found for the plaintiff, giving
him judgment of $780, The findings,
however, are being held up by the pre-
siding Judge until he is satisfied the
verdict is a just one. Whichever way
this case is decided it emphasizes the
Importance of greater care in the Sc
lection of seed in the growing of to-
bacco crop. To many people not famll-
lar to the needs of the trade or the
requirements of certain varieties to
different states, tobacco seed may mean
tobacco seed of any old kind, and this
may embrace some seedmen as well.
What the growers need be most con-
cerned about is that they secure their
seed from some reliable firm that
makes speciality of propagating va
rieties adapted to their localities, and
there is always a supply to be had of
such people who will place a guarantee
of termination on seeds sold by them.
The cost of seed is such a small matter
that growers cannot really afford to
take any chances on planting crop
not up to the standard requirement.
Dealers are frank to confess there is
far too much nondescript seed already
used in this state.

Contracts of the Burley Tobacco pool
to fix the price of that tobacco are
valid and binding on the farmer who
signs them, and he must pay the
amount stated in the contract as dam
ages if he violates the agreement, ac-
cording to the decision of the appellate
court in reversing the Dearborn circuit
court. The decision is made IN the suit
of the Burley Tobacco Co. for. $3.50
damages because Harry Gillaspy sold
his 1909 crop of tobacco to a buyer
after contracting with the Burley So
ciety in the spring. The contract pro-
vided that if Gillaspy sold to another
he should pay 20 per cent of the value
of the crop to the Burley society as
damages. Gillaspy sold to a buyer for
s2400 and the Burley society sued him.

AS usual the tobacco trade is divided as
regards tariff changes on tobacco pro-
ducts. The Sumatra interests are or
ganizing to present their case for the
reduction of the tariff on wrapper to-
bacco before the Ways and Means COM
mittee at Washington, January II. A
number of committees have been ap-
pointed to represent the Sumatra peo-
pie and voice the opinions of the import
ers of foreign leaf. On the other hand
the New England Tobacco Growers
association, at meeting held at Hart
ford last week, voted to send delega-
tion to Washington to represent the
association at hearing on the tobacco
schedule before the Ways and Means
committee, January II. This action
was expected, but the meeting was i'm
portant in that it revealed that the in
coming Connecticut congressional dele
cation, though composed wholly of
Democrats, will probably line up for
the tobacco growing interests. This
fact is of the greatest Importance to
the tobacco farmers who had been in
doubt as to the attitude of the new
congressman. The. growers of Lancas-
ter county and the leaf dealers of Phil
adelphia are preparing to be repre-
sented at the hearing. But with such
wide variance of opinion as to what
changes ought to be made in the tobac-
co schedule there is small reason to
think any radical reductions will be
recommended. The tobacco trade as a
whole is pretty we'll satisfied with the
present duties and if they take the ad-
vice of the writer they will let well
enough alone.
The final government report on the
1912 tobacco crop shows the following:
Acreage, 1,225, 900 acres; yield, 785. 5
pounds per acre; production, 1852, 855, :
600 pounds; average price paid to farm
ers, 1913 cents per pound; total value
on that basis, S1O4, ,O63, 900. The prices
paid for cigar types and the total values
on that basis are stated as follows:
