Miner County Will Furnish Test Case
of Automobile Law.

OF AuIOnCpiic Law.
Pierre.-A court test of the consti-
t%utionality of the present automobile
law will be made at once in Miner
county. A man in that portion OF the
state has operated a car without a Ii
cense, it appears, and as there was
some considerable discussion as to he
constitutionality of the law when it
was enacted last winter by the legisla-
ture, the matter will now come into
court through this case for definite
settlement.
A license fee of Sc per year is
charged for automobiles. and a certain
portion of his sum goes to the office
of secretary of state to pay for clerk
hire and the auto tags. sent out to
owners of the cars, while the major
portion of the sum goes to the county
treasures, to be expended for good
roads. A Mississippi case. chapter

state, a lately been decided against
their system of auto licensing which
varied from IS to $25. 1t may be that
the Mississippi statute has not the
same constitutional privileges that
South Dakota's law has. The South
Dakota law is very similar to that OF
Iowa where it appears to be operating
successfully.

ONLY A HALF SINNER, HE SAYS

Senator Teasdale was in the city on
Saturday posting his campaign iterS-
ture and pictures. The senator, with
Just degree of warmth, called attP..-
ton to slight error which occurred in
a CENSOR editorial reviewing briefly
his record on several appropriations in
the legislature. We stated that the
celebrated gasolene launch purchase
bill for game wardens was S., 600 The
bill was originally drawn for that amount
but some of the profiigates became
alarmed or ashamed of the scheme and
it was amended ard passed at 81, 800.
Consequently Senator Teasdale's sim
ming is but half as bad as stated. But
the principle involved is the same =
foolish, expensive and without justifi-
cation. 1t is but one of others charge
able against cur senator, and we re-
greet that it is so. The law appreoriat-
ing So, 900 to prevent injury from white
grubs and grasshoppers, voted for by
Mr.. TeasdaIe, is also a corker. Why not
levy like amount for chinch bugs, to-
hacco worms, fleas, bed bugs and an

without merit, adding to the general
onslaught upon the peoples treasury.

statement that the legislative associates
with Senator Teasdale voted $I4 000,-

utes, without the least discussion of
their merits Such wanton extrava-
gance is what the taxpayers bitterly
complain of, and they will aim to drop
from official station at the approaching
primaries the legislators responsible
for the bad work. 1t is just this kind
of disregard for the public veal that
sent Vernon county's state tax from
$43,2 7l AZ in 1912 to 500. 376. SO last
are after Teasdase's political scalp, and
all others associated with him.

announces that he has completed ar

the musical comedy, minstrel and vaud-
eville road shows controlled by Ned Al
word, Inc the Chicago booking concern.
As far as possible the shows will be of
fered at intervals Of one week, on the
same day of each and every week. A
popular price of admission will be in eff

half that sum. 1t is the policy to play
to filled houses at this reasonable scale
rather than half or three quarters of
capacity at dollar or dollar and half.
The shows are especially designed for
the entertainment OF ladies, gentlemen
and children. Every care has been ex-
ercised by the producers in eliminating
anything that could be construed as OBJ
jectionable to the most fastidious.
