past record it is practically certain
that they can carry the resolution in
the house. and while they claim the
senate. they have no such majority
of that body as they have in the
house.
The Rosebud people, who have
been here for several weeks, boosting
for the location Of a new normal
school at Bonesteel, have gone home,
evidently feeling after their defeat In
the senate that they cannot expect
any favorable action toward the To-
cation of such a school by the pres
ent legislative session.
Apparently there is a statement
being circulated that there is no need
for a vote on prohibition at the next
election on the ground that ii was
voted upon in the election of last
year and the issue voted down. AS
a matter of fact there has been no
vote on constitutional prohibition in
this state since 1896. and the back
ers of the movement for a resolution
at this time feel that the statement
of a vote last year is injuring their
case.

come to Pierre with a petition carry

the bill. He will also ask TO appear
before the house elections committee
in regard to the senate primary bill
which passed several days ago.

BANKERS Are Satisfied with Organiza-
> ton of Board, As Now
Outlined.

Pierre, Feb. 24.-The admins
tration" bank guaranty bill, which
was introduced by Senator McMaster,
and has passed the senate, has gone
through a process of evolution since
II was introduced, and is believed to
be in a form that will be satisfactory
to the house, and is reasonably sure
to pass that body and become a law.
Much credit for the formative work
on the bill Is due to Senator Isaac
Lincoln OF Brown county. who took
the matter In hand. with a view to
finding a common ground for the
supporters OF the so called bankers
BILL" and those back OF the admin
istration" measure. Senator Lin
coins plan as finally incorporated in
the bill, provides for a board OF five
members. three Of whom are to be
appointed by the governor. The bank
examiner will be the fourth and the
governor the fifth member of the
board.
The bill goes into effect immediate
ly after its passage and the board
will at once take up the work of ex-
aiming every state bank in South
Dakota with a view to determining
their eligibility to come In under the
provisions of the guaranty law. The
provisions Of the law are compulsory
for every state bank and those which
are not found financially sound. so
they can be included In the guaranty
scheme, will be compelled to liquid
ate at once. The importance OF this
feature of the law Is apparent. The
guaranty provisions go into effect
January 1, 1916. and by that time. III
there are any unsound banks. they
will have been sifted out and COM
PEELED to close. .

sent of the federal government.
