1915 LEVY LIMIT TO
APPLY GENERALLY is
new OFFICIAL RULING
Intention Was to Readjust for
New Valuations It Applies
in School Affairs.

Pierre, S. D., Oct. 16.-The total legal
levy for all purposes is 1874 mills under
the new 1915 law. The attorney gem
eral rules that the 1918 act. having
been passed for the purpose OF limit
ing the rates OF levy throughout the
state and its general subdivisions, on
account of the assessment OF all prop-'
erty at its full value, also changes the
existing school law. so far as Ii may,
conflict. He holds that the limit or
levy in independent school districts is
now regulated by the 1915 act.
However. the limit OF levy prescribed
by the 1915 act does not apply to levies
made for bonded indebtedness.
Other important rulings were made
by the attorney general as follows:
The fees OF the sheriff for serving
subpoenas on witnesses for the defend
ant in criminal actions is not a proper
charge to be paid by the county. There
is an absence OF express statute max
Ing the county liable for this expense.
In extreme cases help might be ex-
tended pauper charged with Grim
inal offense. by the county board, just
as food, clothing or other necessities
might be so furnished. but this on the
theory that the county should care for
Its poor. and not because OF any la
bility by statute. .
County treasurersA cannot divide the
list OF delinquent taxes and have them
published In two or other number OF
newspapers. The law provides for pub
LEGATION In one paper and the treasurer
can do nothing else but that
"A limit OF IS only can be taxed as
jury fee against defendant In criminal
actions tried by jury. The statute
leaves no escape from such conclusion,
regardless OF the fact that the case
may be tried for several days"

WIRELESS STATIONS FOR
MANY SCHOOLS IN ST TIE

Mitchell 8. D., Oct. 20.--Communi
cation by radio telegraph outfits among
the leading high schools OF South Da-
kota Is being planned, as the most re-
cent phase OF the study OF electricity.
Among the high schools which are fig
uring on the installation OF wireless
apparatus are Mitchell, Sioux Falls,
Aberdeen, Madison, Yankton, Pierre
and Huron.
Huron high school was the first in
the state to install a wireless outfit.
Another has recently been added to
the equipment OF the Mitchell high
school and Madison is now preparing
one. Three other cities In the state
will be similarly equipped within the
present school year Prof. q. r Shell
ton, OF Mitchell. has written to the
other high schools suggesting the for
nation OF league.
Among the results planned from the
installation OF wireless outfits in the
several schools will be communication
OF the results OF football games, track
meets and debates, as well as other
messages OF interest. As most OF the
radio outfits viii permit the sending.
and receipt OF messages for a distance
OF only 100 miles, ii Is probable that
the messages will have to be relayed.
