TIE HEARING is ON

G. G. Caldwell is away to Washing
ton, d. c., whore he went to present
the cases of the state before thu
United States supreme court in what
is known as the express company tax
cases.
These cases were commenced four
years ago by the Wells Fargo and
American express companies against
the state treasurer to enjoin the col
lection of the taxes levied under the
assessment of 1910. The cases were
tried in the United States district
court for the state of South Dakota
and decisions rendered in favor of
the state. The express companies
appealed to the United States court
of appeals and that court reversed the
decisions rendered by Judge Elliott
in the district court and ordered in
functions to prevent the collection of
the tax. From that decision the state
treasurer appealed to the supreme
court.

WRECKS AND WRECKERS

With the Missouri, Kansas 81 Texas
now in receivership, there are SO rail-
ways, operating Al 1888 miles, capital
ization 1920, 900, 900 now under di-
rectlon Of the courts.
Looks like terrible condition of
railroads, but the condition was about
al bad in 1994,.when 1872 roads, operat-
ing 40,S78 miles, were in the same fix.
If the condition was calamitous 81
years ago, what was done and what
advantage was taken of the ''h orri-
Bile example?"
Well, during this 21-year period,
largely, Promoter Hartman did his
ruling of running, the magnificent
New Haven wreck was accomplish ed
the Frisco was dragged under and
drowned, the splendid Rock Island
was steered straight upon the rocks
amongst other things. This period
stands as the high tide of railroad
rascality and inefficiency. The ex-
posures and conditions of 1894 simply
showed INSCRIPTIONS high inanciers
how to ravish great properties to
their own advantage.
In no other country wherein the
general welfare depended so largely
upon the railroads would repetition
of the conditions of 1894 have been
permitted. Somebody would have
been jailed and the government
would have taken hold of.

Is IT UNPOPULAR?

1t is the contention of the Sioux
Falls Argus Leader that Legislation
by the executive and his appointees
is not popular in South Dakota :"
The Sioux Falls paper was referring
to the recent order of the bank com
mission requiring state banks to de-
posit half their reserves in reserve
state banks.
This it characterZes as legislation
that the legislature had refused to
enact. 1t has rather arbitrary
complexion. but so many nnconstitu-
tional things are transpiring that 1t
is not surprising if the executive and
his assistants feel that they are cap
able of anything they can pull off.
Nor does it follow that the stunts
that are worked are unpopular. The
people are not rising in indignation
and sweeping the manipulators of the
board, though they may yet reserve
the right to speak on election day
which is about their only chance,
with the power to legislate taken
from them.
There is q great deal going on that
is inexplicable. The ruling on bank
deposits is proper subject for dis
| cussion and analysis and action. The
disposition Of the money of the peo.
pie does not seem to be an executive
! ifunction.-Haron Huronite.

RICHARDS LAW GARBLED

Huron. Oct. 5. - Some interesting
news has come to the surface in con-
nection with the Initiated Richards pri-
mary law to be voted on at the Novem
Der election IN 1916
In 1911, under Lieutenant Governor
Byrne's organization of the state SEN
ate the initiated Richards primary law
came through his engrossing commit
tee in more or less garbled form. And
the brief index filed with the law
classifying it into IL main subjects for
easy and ready reference was thrown
away. and the law was re-indexed I'm
der "a different subjects, creating con-
fusion and great detriment to the law,
Now comes news from Pierre that
in like manner, the initiated amended
Richards primary law of 1915. has had
inflicted upon it even greater incom-
potency through errors of the engross-
ing force. In the engrossed senate
copy of the law which was sent to
AAiPPiS anu CoiilpdHy W Dc pTlHLGU
there were So errors and as many as
four words left out in single line
indicating either corruption or gross
incompetency on the part of the Nor
beck organization of the state senate,
which furnished the copy which was
sent to the printer.
Mr.. Richards discovered the mutilat-
ed condition of his initiated law after
the legislature had adjourned and made
special trip to Pierre and personally
appealed for honorable treatment to
the members of the state printing COM
mission, pointing to his copy filed in
the secretary of states office as peti-
toned for by the people. The print
ing commission finally consented to
have the errors rectifed before the
session laws were printed. Otherwise,
the people of South Dakota would
again have had garbed version of the
measures placed before them.

BANKERS WILL FIGHT

Argus Leader: At "a meeting of
over 100 bankers of the state held at
Mitchell 1t was decided to test in the
courts the right of the state banking
department and of Governor Byrne
to order that so per cent of the cash
reserves of the state banks shall be
deposited ia state banks in reserve
cities within the state. A committee
was appointed to employ legal talent
and to start a case which will test in
the supreme court the right of the
executive department of the state to
usurp the functions of the legisla-
ture.
1t is pointed out that if the bank
examiner and the governor have the
power TO control so per cent of the de-
posits, they have the power to con-
troll all of them. Should this power
be exercised, which might be the case
when an administration wanted to
play politics with the credit of the
PO0PiCS VIC WuOi6 udtlOIldl DdIkluS
system in the state might be disor-
ganized, and the people of the state
cut off from all the benefits of the
federal reserve system.
Furthermore, there are many who
feel it is about time for the people to
find out, by judicial procedure, what
rights the machine proposes to leave
them to enjoy. The last legislature
has knocked the initiative and the
referendum into cooked hat, by
straightway repeating a law enacted
by direct vote of the people, and by
denying the constitutional guaranty
of a referendum on the subject. That
question also will be tested in the
courts and perhaps after while, it
may be set down with the autho rity
of the courts back of it that the peo-
pie have some rights which even the
Byrne machine are bound to respect.

ing what they call the Farmers Non

ia, eff it want for just one thing.
They won't stick together. You know,

vator man knows every farmer. Well,
of course, they're all against any such
game, so they will just take the farm
er aside and tell him few things,
and when election day comes you will
find everything will be all right. Yes
it looks kind of band on the face of

BY this time the Senate is boiling
with rage because Burleson has dared
to violate it's sacred precedents in
this high-handed fashion. Senators
are calling attention to the fact that
the constitution provides for Post Of
flee appointments to be made by and
with the consent of the Senate. In
the case of the Blooms the appoint
ments have been made obviously
against the Senate's wishes and the
Senate regards itself as humiliated.
Once in the past impeachment PRO-
ceedings were threatened, in SINH
lar case, and it would not be sur
prising if some fiery utterances along
this line were heard in the Senate in
the near future.

gen on the Henry Ford peace ship,
was refused a passport by the State
Department which would enable him
to visit any Of the belligerent Euro

such passport, but the Department

reasonable gradinf and weighing and
the increased price will not escape
due attention in North Dakota. 1T

As Bad as They Make
If this Congress were going to do
anything except gable about muni-
tions and try for political capital for
1916, which it isn't, ther might be a
chance of Passing the Moss Grain In
spection bill.
Not because it has any merit, for
it is SO rotten it smells to Oshkosh
and beyord, but because it is the bill
that the Armour Interests prefer.
Incidently, there nsver was a finer
sracimen of the work of the legisla-
tive artist. The bill provides for
Federal inspection to this extent
that the inspectors are to be appoint
ed by the government. But they are
to be paind by the Chicago Board Of
Trade and Minneapolis Chamber OF
Commerce and the like heavenly
bodies.
No wonder the Armour Interests
like that. I should think they would
love it.
To pass a bill that will pretend tc
give relief from an ancient abuse anc
really perpetuate it is a pretty able
bodied trick.
