Are Held by the Attorney General to
be Illegal.

Pierre, March 12.-Attorney Gen.
eral Caldwell has given a ruling to
Gov. Byrne. from whom had come an
inquiry as to the legal effect of a
license to sell intoxicating liquors at
a place within five miles of the cor
p0rate limits Of an Incorporated town
where there was at the last election
a vote upon the question prohibiting
the sale Of liquor at retail. The at
torney general holds that a license
granted by the township board with
in the five-mile limit to sell liquor is
absolutely void and that the same
would be no defense against a GRIM
inal prosecution for selling i~ntoxicat-
ing liquors without a license" He
says further in relation to the mat
ter: 1T is my opinion. therefore.
that the members of the township
board, ii they have In fact granted
the license contrary to the provisions
of the act in question. are guilty of a
criminal offense as stated in said
act"

STATE OFFICERS
BETTER Salaries Played Prominent
Part I'm Legislature Just Closed.

Pierre, March l2.-The question
of better salaries for state officers
played a prominent part in the SEES
sion OF the legislature just closed and
a way was opened for South Dakota
TO mend its reputation OF paying the
lowest average salaries to Its public
servants of any state in the union.
The legislature voted to submit a
constitutional amendment giving the
representative body power on a two
thirds vote to fix salaries of state of
ficials. III this amendment is carried
In 1916. the succeeding Legislature
IAN take up the salary question in a
comprehensive way. removing some
of the inequalities and probably max
ing a conservative advance over the
salaries fixed a quarter OF a century
ago when the state was young and
poor and the cost of living materially
less than now.
Temporary relief Is afforded in the
decision of the attorney general that
the fixed expense allowance given TO
officials to compensate them for NOV
ing TO the capital, is legal and in har-
mony with the constitution. This de-
cision was obtained by State Auditor
Handlin after doubts had been eX-
pressed by some members OF the leg
islature of the legality OF the fixed
allowance. The opinion came from
as disinterested a ource as possible.
The members of the supreme court
have for some time been drawing an
expense allowance of $50 per month
and their acceptance of the allow
ance obviously amounts to a decision
that it is legal. The attorney gem
eral has no such fixed expense ac-
count and followed decisions In other
states in rendering his opinion. Pre-
vious to the present session the at
torney general received his travelling
expenses and 5 cents per mile addi-
tional. giving him a profit OF 2hs
cents a mile. The legislature has
changed this system and he will now
be allowed actual expenses only. to
be paid on an itemized statement of
such expense.
A serious objection to the present
system is that it discriminates be-
tween state officers, some OF them
getting the extra allowance while
others are obliged TO move to the
capital and support themselves and
families on $500 a year. Gov.
Byrne states that he regrets the leg
islature did not make some provision
TO pay the expenses OF all the state
officers who do reside at the capital
and give their entire time to the serv-
ice Of the state.
