been decided upon to insert in the
militia appropriation bill will cover all

legislators. The state auditor has re-
ceipted bills now for more tEan $780,

must be returned. 1t is expected that
another 100000 will be necessary to

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

Pierre. S. D.. April 14.-This morning
the supreme court rendered AN unani-
nous opinion denying the writ of pro-
hlbltion asked for by John Longstaff.
who sought to prevent State Auditor
ANDERSON from issuing warrants
against contingent funds on the ground
that these funds We're not expressly
appropriated.
The court holds, i'm effect, that in
every case where the intention of the
legislature to apply these contingent
funds to a specific purpose can be as
certained that it is an express appro-
priation. 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
mount of the fund provided for, yet if
such legislation is unwise, 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 it's opinion until this time with
a view to keeping the question out Of
politics.
