IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE
HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Pierre. S. D.. April THAT the pro-
visions Of certain laws OF 1911 are un-
constitutional and void is the opinion
OF the state legal department. or in
quiry by State Land Commissioned
Hepperlee. That section is in relation
to compensation for permanent inn
provements placed upon state lands.
Its closing provision holds: Said de-
post to be paid to the owner of said
dam or well. said payment to be cred
tied upon rent or purchase price of said
highest bidder for the lands upon
which said dam or we'll is located"
This provision was made a part of
the act on the grounds that when a
leaseholder on state lands placed such
permanent Improvements as a well or
a dam on the same he should be com
pensated by the payment of at least
one-half the cost of the same if the
land was leased or sold to another.
This provision is held to be in vio-
1ation of sections 2 and 3, article s of
the constitution, which prohibits any
of the principal or interest of the school
fund to be diverted from the benefit of
the schools in any manner. Such pay
ment out of lease money is held to be
diverting the income: and out Of sale
price the diversion of the principal,
neither of which is allowable.
