SUPREME COURT NOT
WILLING TO ATTACK
CONTINGENT SYSTEM
Only Legislature Has Power to
Check Official Raids on
Special Funds.

Pierre, S. D.. April 4-This morning
the supreme court rendered an unani-
nous opinion denying the writ of pro-
hibition asked for by John Longstaff,
who sought to prevent State Auditor
Anderson from issuing warrants
against contingent funds on the ground
That these funds were not expressly
appropriated.
The court holds, in effect. that in
every case where the intention OF the
legislature to apply these contingent
funds to a specific purpose can be as
certalned that it Is an express appro-
prfation. The court says: 1T seems
clear that though it may be an unwise
policy that has been pursued by the
legislature in placing in the hands Of
the executive officers OF the state the
expenditure OF moneys unlimited in
amount, except as limited by the
amount of the fund provided for. yet if
such legislation Is uuwise, the remedy
must be sought from the legislature
Itself or else through such amendments
to the fundamental law as will restrict
the Legislative power"
This action was brought last autumn
at the beginning of the primary cam
paign. The court has apparently re-
served its opinion until this time with
a view to keeping the question out OF
politics.

MEADE COUNTY TO VOTE
ON QUESTION OF DIVISION

sturgis, S. D.. April 1.-THE division
question is beginning to agitate the
people of Meade county. The question
which appears hard to decide is that as
to W counties or three counties. AM
bilious towns want the division so that
they can have a chance at county seat
honors. Marcus wants a two county
division, cutting off the northeast cor
ner, and leaving the rest of the county
as Meade. Elm Springs and Bonita
Springs further south want a three
county division, with a northeast county
n another cut out of the eastern part
of what will be left of Meade. Meade
is so large that a three county division
would give II county Of 81 townships,
one OF 30 and one of 35 townships, all
of which would be large enough to meet
the constitutional minimum of "a town
ships. The dispute as to a two county
or three county division defeated the
two county proposition two years ago,
by a small majority, and it may result
in the same situation again this year
unless there is a general agreement.
