Bankers Win First Round.

Word was received in the city
yesterday by local bankers from
Sioux Falls to the effect that
Judge Jones of that judicial cir@
cult had granted the injunction
prayed for by our national banks
of Sioux Falls against the state
banking department restraining
that department from putting
into effect its 80 per cent legal
reserve ruling on November ID.
This is the first round in the
legal battles which are being
waged by banks of this state
against the administration to
oust this Objectionable ruling.
Other actions pending are before
the state supreme court and the
federal court
This ruling requires all state
banks in South Dakota to carry
so per cent OF all their reserve
20 per cent of their deposits
either in their own vaults on
some other designated state de
pository, which must be state
bank within South Dakota. This
ruling, therefore, requires :
bank to keep on deposit will
some other state bank, or in its
own vaults 1Oper cent of its de
posits. Aberdeen American.

Shcrriffs Are In Full Charge.

Pierre-'That the collection of de-
linquent personal taxes is under
the complete control of the sheriff,
from and after November 10 of
each year, is a holding of the at
tornev general which will be of
special interest to county treasurerS
and sheriffs in this state The
holding on inquiry from the states
attorney of Perkins county lays
down the rule as understood by the
state legal department under the
provisions of the 1915 act for col
lection of such taxes.
The opinion, long one, is SUM
married. in the findings that the
law requires the delinquent person
al property tax list to be turned
over to be turned ovor to the
sheriff OH the 10th of November
of each year. 1t is his duty and
province to use all the meals in his
power to collect the same and the
list is in his hands for that purpose
until the last day of September of
the year following it's delivery to
him. After that date no attempts
shall be made to collect such delin-
uqent personal taxes except upon
order of rhe board of county COM
missioners
Not until this stage is the trea,-
urel authorized to advertise such
personal property tares as a lien
against the real estate, and he also
is given the right of remedy in Cir
cult court if he so desires to compel
such payment of personal taxes. 1t
is held that the placing of the de-
llnquent person property tax list in
the hands of the sheriff and fixing
specific fees and mileage for his
services sn such collection, was es-
pecially intended to give such Off
cial 6nancial.inducement toward
effort in such collections and thus
assist in such collections.

Relic of Early Days in the Hills.

The state museum has been en-
riched by the receipts from Louis
'Theon of Spearhsh, of the notable
stone tablet found OH the mountain
above Spearfsh by Louis Theon in
March 1887. 1t is flat sandstone
slab about ten inches square upon
which is scratched the following
inscription:
Came to these hills in 1888,
seven of us, De La Compt, Ezra
Kind, G. w, Wood, T.. Brown. r.
Kent, VIM. King, Indian Grow.
All dead but me, Ezra Kind; killed

our gold June 1884. Got all the
gold we could carry our pony all
got by the Indians | have lost my
gun and nothing to eat and Indians
hunting me.
Black Hills people almost uni
versally believe III the genuinenesS
of the tablet. 1t was secured for
the museum through the active
interest of w. L. Lyman, Lawrence

Browns Valley Light Plan, Sold.

The Fergus Falls Power Co.,
is now owner of the Browns
Valley electric light plant, the
deal having been closed on Tues
day of this week.
The price paid for the munich
pal plant is Sl3,5OO. $4,000 of
This amount is paid in cash and
the balance is given us Il credit
to the village on street lighting.
The power company has eight
cen months i'm which to build its
line into this city under the CON
tract, but it is the intention of
the company to build the line
next spring, in fact some of the
work may be done this fall. In
the meantime the local plant will
be operated and we understand
day service will be added as soon
as possible. For street lighting
service the city has the choice of
two or three methods. If the
present street lighting service
is continued, the cost will be APP
proximately $1,000 a year The
city may, if it desires, take
street lighting on a meter basis.
1t is the general opinion that
the council made a good bargain
with the power company, MAX
ing allowance for depreciation
the plant was sold at a good
price. A day service could not
have been added without a new
delay of several hundred dollars.
The cash received from the sale
of the plant will be used to pay
Off outstanding bonds and thus
reduce the indebtedness of the
city and stop interest. The eN-
tension of service that will bt
given by the company is in the
line of progress and viii be mucl

How the New Primary Works Out.

The decision of the supreme
court on the Richards Primary act
means that the delegates to the
next national convention will be
selected under the new law, which
requires candidates for such posi-
ton 10 file their written requests
with the secretary OF state not less
than thirty days before the primary
election: and authorizes groups OF
candidates to file as such under
one motto. In case the national
convention is called before the date
Of the state primary election in
Iune, special election for such
delegates is to be held at primary
election for that purpose to be held
the first Tuesday in April. Pro-
vided that in parties which do not
cast 10 per cent of the vote for
governor, the party committee
selects the time and manner for
selection of national party conven-
ton delegates.
