GOVERNOR BYRNE NOT
DISPOSED TO SHELVE
T"REAsuRERS' CRAFT
Failure of Legislature to Make
Appropriation Will Not Stop
Effort to Collect.

Pierre, S. D., March 10. = Governor
Byrne will proceed with the effort to
collect from former state treasurers
and their bondsmen for illegal reten-
ton of interest on state funds, in spite
CT the refusal of the state senate to
concur with the house action for a
small appropriation for this purpose.
The amount due the state from this
source. according to official investlga-
tors, is about $500. 900. 1t is claimed
that some Of the affected interests had
done some very effective plugging" in
the senate. with the view that the suits
could be checked by killing the special
appropriation.
Governor Byrne admits that the SEN
ate action handicaps the state legal de-
partment on this project, but insists
that the collection effort will proceed
lust the same. In a statement given
out yesterday on this subject the gov
ernor says:
TT is not in the power of the legisla-
the legal department Of the state from
the obligation to proceed to collect
money due the state, using every re-
source at their command for the pur-
pose. While the prosecution may be
crippled or delayed by lack of funds,
the cases will be pushed as vigorously
as possible under the circumstances.
The legislature did not care to go on
record by resolution or otherwise as be-
ing opposed to the collection of these
claims. The indirect attempt to prevent
collection by starving the legal de-
partment into quieScence in no way
relieves me. from my responsibility to
the people in this matter"

snow piled high, making the question
of roads a memory rather than a re-

greatly interested in Colonel Thatcher

1t is the plan of the pro-
moter to push activities all along the

with this project, is scheduled to be
held in Geddes o. April 8. AS was the

Among other things, this Washing

General Caldwell has given a ruling to

an inquiry as to the legal effect Of u
license to sell Intoxicating liquors at
a place within five miles of the corpo-
rate limits OF an Incorporated town
where there was at the last election q
vote upon the question prohibiting the
sale OF liquor at retail. The attorney
general holds that a license granted
by the township board within the five
mile limit to sell liquor is absolutely
void, and that the same would be no
defense against a criminal prosecution
for selling intoxicating liquors with
out a license" He say further in
relation to the matter: TT is my opin-
ion, therefore. that the members Of the
township board, If they have in fact
granted the license contrary to the pro-
visions of the act in question. are
guilty Of a criminal offense as stated
in said act"
