Bill to Enlarge Homestead Right
In South Dakota

Washington, May 1h.-The senate
public lands committee today ordered
a favorable report on Senator Craw
ford's bill providing for S2O-acre
homestead righ on lands now entered
In South Dakota. This report indi-
Gates the adoption of the bill in the
Senate.
At the time the 320-acre law was
adopted in congress-, applying to lands
in districts classed as semi-arid. the
members of the South Dakota delega-
tion were responsible in having the
homestead land in that state exempted
from the enlarged privilege, ~contending
that it would result adverse advertis-
ing for the state.
Yielding to the promptings OF mem
bers from the western part of the state.
the last legislature in South Dakota
asked congress to include the unen
tered land in that state in the en-
lsrged homestead privilege and this
request was followed by introduction
Of Senator Crawford's bill. 1t is not
expected that the proposal will be OPP
posed in either branch of congress.

Pierre, May 15.-The Indians of

Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls. May 15.-Judge Jones,
of the state circuit court in this city.
has decided against those who were
anxious to have a special election called
so the question of reducing the number
of city commissioners in Sioux Falls
from five to three could be submitted
to the voters Unless the state supreme
court revFIses Judge Jones no such cleo
tion will be called. The decision of
Judge Jones is based on the ground
that there is no law under which u
special election can be called for the
50 bmission Of the question of reduc-
ing the number of city commissioners
Those who desired to have the
special election called will at once
appeal the case to the state supreme
curt, so the state law governing
cities which are under the commission

ed by the highest court in the state
as to calling special elections or the
purpose stated. A petition containing
the signatures of several hundred vot-
ers of Sioux Falls was filed several
weeks ago with the city commissioners,
asking them TO submit the three COM

Falls. The commissioners refused to
call the election and made a technical
attack ON the law. Then the matter
was carried to the circuit court and
Judge Jones was asked to Issue a nan
damus compelling the city commits
sioners to submit the question. Judge

under a~dvisement, denied the applica-
ton.
