BYRNE MAY CALL SPECIAL
SESSION OF LEGISLATURE
TO REMEDY 1907 LAWS
ESPECIALLY CHAPTER Ga OF THE LAWS
OF 1907 TO PERMIT STATE
TO COLLECT TAXES

Pierre, 8. D., May 15.-Governor
Byrne may be forced to call special
session Of the legislature at once to
remedy chapter GA, Of the laws Of 1907,
to permit South Dakota to collect taxes
claimed from the express companies,
amounting to considerable sum, as
we'll as to render legal the collection of
taxes of al railway, telephone, tele-
graph and sleeping car companies.
This session will be necessary IL the
supreme court should decide that this
law is unconstitutional and thus con-
our with the opinion Of Judge Sanborn,
of the circuit court Of appeals, who, on
May 4, held that this law was uncon-
stitutional.
Under q special and rarely used
privilege Of the state constitution, Gov
ernor Byrne went before the supreme
court yesterday afternoon and demand
ed their opinion on these points: First,
as to whether the act was valid when
enacted, and, second, IL It was not.
whether 1t is now valid by virtue of the
1912 amendment to section 2 Of article
II Of the constitution and chapter 347,
OF the laws of 1918.
Governor Byrne was forced to ask the
supreme court for this opinion now be-
cause there is no way to launch q test
CASE before this body. When such
cases are brought In the state courts
the express companies at once take
them to the federal courts, and when
the companies begin their own cases
they bring them In the federal courts.
The reason our state supreme court
must render an opinion on the consti-
tutionality of this act, which will or
will not, as they decide, permit the
state to collect these taxes, is that ell
superior courts believe In accepting the
ruling Of the state supreme courts on
questions of individual state laws, no
matter how divergent from their own
opinions in relation to the law, provid-
ing no federal regulations are disturbed.
II the South Dakota supreme court
rules that this Law is constitutional,
Judge Sanborn's opinion will not hold.

SIOUX CITY RACES.

Sioux City Speedway Events Attract Motor
Drivers Of National Reputation.
Sioux City, Iowa, May l5th-The
characteristic dare. deviltry of motor
drivers will be modified by the re-
stratning hand of caution when the
speed-boys of the rubber tire 60 on the
fast two mile dirt track Of the Sioux
City Speedway the first four days Of
next July. While not presuminR to
set any speed limits on the entrants in
the classic 300 mile event Of July 4th,
the speedway association will join the
Indianapolis speedway management in
insisting on an enforcement Of the
rule that motor parts particularly sub.
ject to wear and tear must be new
within two days before the event is run.
While this is easily and readily done
by the American drivers, foreigners are
disposed to take the rule rather lightly
and to hope 1t will not be enforced.
They are likely this time to be re.
quired to submit to exactly the same
requirements In this connection that
Americana do.
The foreigners, however, will get
some consolation IL the arrangements
can be made that are being proposed to
get from the European racing authori.

European numbers In the raoihR here

While few entries have already
been made for the July races, the
Sioux City Speedway management
does not expect forfeits to be posted in
any large number until after the In.
dianapolis races the last of this month,
This 10 owing to the fact that owners

Two Fires

The inhabitants of Clovis were
more or less disturbed Tuesday
morning by the fire alarms of
two departments. First was
that of the Santa Fe department
sounded about two o'clock when
a cinder car in the yards was
discovered on fire. The blaze
was extinguished. Tn e next
alarm was that by night marshal
Sadler, who discovered a blaze
in the frame shack on the alley
south of the News office between
Grand and Otero Avenues and
gave the first alarm by shooting
several times. About twenty
minutes later the city fire siren
blew, bringing the department
to the scence in record breaking
time. Jack Hull was driver as
he was aroused by the shooting
and prepared for action. A
mexican sleeping in the shack
had dropped a cigarette which
ignited the bed clothing and he
was rescued by the marshal with
difficulty. The fire was extin.
guished after some damage to
the shack.
