CLOSED INCIDENT
REPEAL Or RICHARDS PRIMARY
LAW UPHELD BY THE ST.
PREME COURT.

Pierre, Nov. 5.-The supreme
court handed down a unanimous
opinion affirming the judgment of
Judge Taylor OF Beadle county and
upholding the repeal of the Richards
primary law. The court says:
mo rule of law is better settled
throughout the United States than
that a state legislature has absolute
power to enact, amend or repeal any
law whatsoever unless prohibited
from so doing by the state or federal
constitution
In support of this proposition a
vast amount of authority is cited, in
Guiding opinions of the Missouri and
Oregon courts, having provision sim
liar to the initiative and referendum
clause of the South Dakota constftu-
ton.
The opinion further defines the
power of the legislature in relation to
emergency enactments and holds that
the emergency clause only applies to
such laws as may be necessary for
the immediate preservation OF the
public peace. health or safety and
support of existing institutions.
The court declares the legislature
has no power TO declare an emer-
gency in any other enactment and II
it has SO declared an emergency In
any act not within the foregoing TX
ception, it has no force or validity
Such act is as much subject to refer
endum as if the emergency clause
was not In it.
No attempt was made to refer the
new primary election law of 1915.
Therefore the new law is in force
and effect and the Richards primary
law is repealed.

FOR MAKING RATES
STATE RAILWAY COMMISSION
TAKES STEPS IN TELEPHONE
RATE MAKING MATTER.

Pierre, Nov. 5.-The state railway
commission has taken steps toward a
general investigation as to what
should be the proper initial time for
rate making by telephone companies
of the state. The three minute initial
period has been in effect in the state
since the first of July. 1914, and
there is more or less complaint as to
the length of the initial period as well
as other matters affecting the tele-
phone toll business, and the commits
sion is asking the hundreds of toll
companies operating in the stale TO
file with them complete detailed
statements showing their revenues
and operating expenses; the figures
of original cost of constructions; an
inventory of each separate line and
a showing of the toll stations and
equipment for each of them; an item
lied statement of cost of reproduc-
ton and present value, and a map
or set of maps covering the lines of
each and every company operating in
the state. On the details which will
be worked out from these showings.
the state commission will be in shape
to know on just what basis to fix
rates for long distance telephoning as
we'll as initial period of time for
talking under the fat rate for such
period. As there are over 500 diff
ferent toll companies operating lines
within the state. this means a mass
of detail to be worked out. both on
the part of the companies in making
the required reports, and by the COM
mission in summarizing the same,
and it will be several months before
any definite results can be expected
from this work.

LIQUOR PROBLEM
JOHN DOE PROCEEDINGS FAIL
OF SUCCESS AT MILBANk.

Milbank, Nov. 5.-For several
days a John Doe investigation similar
to the one now in progress at Aber-
deem, has been held here for the pur-
pose of determining from whence
comes the supply of liquor which is
causing so many DRINKS on the
streets of the city.
Twenty witnesses were examined,
but Ii is understood that no evidence
was procured which will substantiate
the issuing of warrants for the arrest
of the offenders.
The investigation was brought
about through charges made in the
Milbank News, the editor of that
publication being the first witness
examined. In the current issue of
the News the editor charges that the
investigation was but a ''whitewash-
ing affair" to protect the administra-
ton from charges of winking at law
enforcement.
Reliance, Nov. 5.-As the result of
a visit to Reliance by a representative
of the state ~antisaloon league, war
rants were issued for several men on
the charge of having sold liquor in
violation of the law. Some of those
arrested are charged with having
conducting a bootlegging business for
some time.
