Do YOU NEED
HIRED GIRL?
IF so, DICK RICHARDS NEW IN
FORMATION BUREAU CAN
SUPPLY YOU
MOST PATERHAuSTC LEGISLATION
Ever Enacted in the State is Richards
information Bureau Law-To be in
Charge of Register of Deeds

Do you want a hired girl? Do you
want a hired man? Have you a horse
or COW or any other live stock for
sale? Or is it grain or vegetables you
want to dispose of? Or are you looking
for work of any character or do you
want to buy anything? Any and all
of these questions are to be answered
off hand by the state bureau Of infor-
nation, called the states swapping
bureau" in South Dakota with c. N.
McIlvane, secretary of the state fair
association as the universal dispenser
of Information, for the central plant,
with every register of deeds as heads
of the county information founts, says
a Pierre dispatch.
All this under the most paternal-
iStic legislation ever enacted in this
state in the law which was framed
by R. o. Richards, the father of the
present primary election law which
is making the different county audi
tors gray headed 'lefore the normal
time for such changes in their appear
anc through any natural causes.
The law requires each register OF
deeds to supply himself with three
lOOoC ltdl ICuSClOJ OhC " nc hho"h do
the labor book; another the live stock
book, and the third the cereal book.
In these shall be registered all appll.
cations for labor or positions, or live
stock or grain for sale, or a desire to
purchase any of these commodities.
The registers are to make daily report
to the state central head and all their
applications of any nature whatever
are to be compiled and all questions
answered in regard to what is to be
found in the way of labor or position;
or products Of all classes for sale or
desired.
The applicants for place must reg
lister, besides their name, place of rest
dence, past employment, and qualifica-
tions for the place desired, their age,
height, weight and nationality, all of
which must be made a matter of re-
cord. The employer must " prac-
tically as many points in what he has
to offer, and what he will do in the
way of wages and conditions of labor.
All of the applications of any chara-
acter may be sent to the proper Off
Gals through letter, telephone or any
other means Of communication and
entry shall be made on application.
This law should be a boon to the
housewife who wants a girl for gener-
al house work as it puts the supply Of
the whole state at her command to
choose from if there are any to choose
and the girl looking for a place has the
same opportunity to pick, as all the
details as to what will be expected of
her must be recorded in the applica-
ton.
Incidentally it might be pertinent to
say the law vas only enacted on the
open assertion that it was passed to
save the referendum ballot from be-
ing further cluttered at the next gen
eral election, the author being ready
with his petition to carry it to a vote
If the legislatures refused to accept it.

thing quite natural inasmuch as most
republicans might vote for him, and
the democrats could expect to present
nothing but a broken front. To this
Mr.. Ashurst, standing firmly on the
principle involved, answers that iii
the people Of Arizona want ex-Gover,
nor Sloan for federal judge they are
entitled to have him"
Declaring that the secret caucus has
taken the place of congress in enact
ing legislation and that the demo.
cratic congressman who have been
holding secret counsel over the Under
wood bill ARE hiding from their con-
stituents the things they are saying
and doing in the secrecy of the caucus
sessions" Representative Woods of
Iowa, has thrown a charge of sharpnel
into the secret caucus advocates, and
in a statement given prominence in
the capital newspapers discussed the
question, using the democrats caucus
as illustrating the evils of continuing
the congressional secret caucus, which
he says is dominated by the will of a
coterie Of house leaders and by the
will of the president"
According to Representative Mondell
of Wyoming, Congressman Serene e.
Payne, the father of the house, and
the author Of the tariff bill that the
democrats are trying to get rid Of
knows more about the tariff than any
man under the f1ag;"-a splendid piece
of rhetoric, but the ssenc of which
would not be admitted for a moment
by Oscar Underwood and his band on
the ways and means committee, who
believe that flag or no flag, they know
every weak point in the tariff so well
that they are prepared to administer
knockout blows in every vulnerable
spot.
In the moment when history is about
to record the overthrow Of the ideas
of the administration, it is fortunate
that there are men like Representa-
tive Rainey of Illinois, who can ex-
hort his colleagues in their caucus mot
to strike a blow at a democratic presi-
dent" Rainey's plea, backed by
Leader Underwood, is understood to
have saved the defeat of the sugar
tariff plan of the president.
If the senators look unwashed in the
future then it must be remembered
that Mr.. Kenyon of Iowa, started the
agitation that has finally shut down
the free baths for Americas house of
lords on Capital Hill. The pictures OF
the old senate hanging in the capitol
show that the members were partial
to long whiskers, and if Mr.. Kenyon's
economy plan also puts a stop to free
barbering, the now smooth faces of
the Apollo-like bunch may sprout
bushy boards.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

Comments heard last week imply
some misunderstanding of what was
accomplished at the election. What
was voted on was the establishment of
the library as a public library in ac-
cordance with the state laws. The
election decided nothing definite about
the levy to support the library, The
law provides that the levy shall not ex-
coed two mills . A levy of n mill has
been much talked of, but this talk was
doubtless based or the old method or
assessment, when such a levy would
raise about $1,000. There seems to
be a general impression that such a
sum Is about what Is needed at present
for the support of the library. But
the determination Of the amount nee
essary will rest with the trustees, who,
as in the case Of the school board,
certify the amount needed to the coun-
Gil.
The next step in accordance with
the law is the appointment Of the
trustees. The law reads as follows:
The mayor of any city; the presi.
dent OF the trustees of any town, or
the chairman Of the supervisors of any
civil township, in which a free library
is now or hereafter may be established,
pursuant to law, shall appoint three
competent citizens, to be confirmed,
as the case may be by the council, COM
mission, trustees or supervisors, to be
known as the public library trustees.
One Of said trustees shall be appointed
for one year, one for two years and
one for three years and one member
to be appointed each year thereafter
for three years or until his successor
Is appointed and confirmed. Provided
that the trustees or directors of all
public Libraries now in Office shall cor.
tinue to hold their respective Offices
until the expiration of the term for
which they were appointed. The public
library trustees shall receive no CON-
pensation for their services as such
trustees.
1t is presumed that the mayor will
present his appointment Of trustees to
the council for confirmation the next
regular meeting, the first Monday in
May.

DOES ECONOMY ALWAYS PAY?

The county commissioners are unde-
cided as to the location of the walks
to be placed about the court house
when the grading Is completed, which
will be within a short time. Part OF
the board favor running one walk
straight west to the sidewalk from
the main entrance, principally because
1t would save expense, but we believe
that 1t would spoil the appearance OF
the yard and would be a poor invest
ment II the work was done for nothing
Others on the board favor running
walks from the main entrance to the
southwest and northwest corners, SINH
lar to the old plan, with q walk around
the court house about forty foot from
the building. This, we believe, will be
much the best plan. even though II
does cost a dollar or two more. 1t Is
planned to have an automobile drive
running from the real entrance to the
northeast and southeast corners.
