TO AID

While the South Dakota legislative
session which was concluded last week
was not remarkable for anti-railroad
legislation, a few important bills were
passed in the line of giving the state
railway commission greater powers
and discretion in controlling rates and
traffic, says a Pierre dispatch.
Senate bill 2S8 is an act relating to
weighing cars and freight offered for
shipment in carload lots, weighing
livestock on stock yard scales and
weighing hay, wood, grain and coal
when weighted in ton lots on private,
farm, city or town scales and also re-
lating to the supervision, control and
inspection of such scales. and defines
the duties of the railway commission
ers in relation thereto. A great deal
of grain is weighed on scales that are
frequently out of order and confusion
and bad feeling has resulted. With
proper inspection the situation will be
relieved and the confidence of the
people restored.
Senate bill 314 authorizes filing of
complaints against common carriers
with the railway commission and en-
powers the board to instigate investi-
cations on it's own initiative without
complaint, and provides for enforce
ment of orders made by the board.
The power of the board to award re-
paration has been questioned by the
carriers. The language of the bill is
practically identical with the Federal
act which gives the Interstate Com.
merce commission jurisdiction and
power to award reparation as well as
to fix a just and reasonable rate. 1t is
pers of the state, and the provision
that the evidence taken by he COM
mission shall constitute the record in
cases in court will relieve the ship
per from a great deal of the burden
of expense in cases against the rail-
roads. The carriers will be more care
full to see that excessive charges are
not made and in the event that they
are imposed, a complaint is made and
PREPARATION will be given more readily.
Another important measure is House
Bill 271 which will make it necessary
for the carrier to produce proof with a
proposed advance IN rates that the
same is reasonable, before the tariff
is made or becomes effective. A COM
panion law in House bill 272 author
ICES the commission to refuse to file
any tariffs within a less period of time
than thirty days before it's effective
date. Both of these bills tend to pre-
vent action that will later put the bur-
den of proof on the shipper to secure
justice.
The last of these bills empowers the
railroad commission to hold all trials
and investigations at such times and
places as the ends of justice require
and will bring the administration Of
justice in such cases to the people ON
cerned rather than forcing them to
bring their witnesses to the capital at
great e to themselves.
All of these measures tend to ex-
pediate the trial of cases between the
people and the railroads to prevent in
justice being done and make the pro-
cess of securing reparation less slow
and expensive.

testinal tract to give it immediate and
rational treatment. 1t is generally
safe to assume that the commonly
called indigestion is usually an early
evidence of such delayed functioning.
and it must be noted that in infancy
and early childhood Indigestion is very
much more serious than in adult life,
because the nutritive material derived
from the intestines must not only meet
the demands of ordinary wear and
tear, but in the child it must also fur
nish the material for the increase in
new tissues required in the process of
growth. If this material is not sup
piled then organic disease must in
evitably result. Education should be-
gin with strict instruction to visit the
toilet at certain fixed hour and per
emptorily to obey the slightest warn
ing of nature. Pills will never take
tae place of natural reactions.

Pleas for commutations penDied.

Denver.-Governor Carlson met with
the State Board of Pardons Saturday
for the first time during his admins
tration. The board denied commuta-
ton of five sentences, and continued
four for further investigation. Com
mutations were denied F. Carter, Jose
Cruz Juan Garcia, Lee Helton and
Lula Rehugler, and action on the SEN
tences of Masero Cruz, Entinio Marti-
nez, John Dietz and James Lotus, all
sentenced to life Imprisonment, was
delayed until further investigation.
Omar Garwood, assistant prosecuting
attorney in Denver at the time James
Lotus was sentenced to life for the
murder of a bystander during quar-
rel with policeman, asked that Loft
us term be shortened Garwood stat
ed that he had always thought the
punishment was too severe, as there
had been no premeditation of the MUIR

Cline requested that the sentences OF
Cruz and Martinez for a murder in
Huerfano county in 1904 be COM
muted. Cline stated that he was liv.
ing in Huerfano county at the time,
and that the evidence was entirely cir
cumstantial.

Judge Hubert L. Shattuck Declares
Sabin Bills Were Drawn in
Good Faith.

Denver.-"This committee is going
to recommend law with teeth in it
for the State Oil Inspection Depart
ment." said Representative McDevitt,
member of the special House COM
mittee to investigate the conduct of
the Oil inspectors office, after the
first sitting by that body.
The committee satisfied itself that
the present law governing this de-
partment is without power to enforce
standards of purity, etc, of oils, gases,
etc.
He then showed the income of the
department was an average of $3.50
a month, and expenses $500 a month.
deaving an average of $3.50 a month
net revenue.
What We shall try to do further
said Representative McDevtt, will be
to enact law that will hereafter be

gases, etc, that the products pur-
chased by them from any dealer shall
be what the label on the container
says they are and what the seller rep

The Summer Homesteads Act.

Denver-Colorado people are much
interested in the five-acre summer
homestead act which Senator John F.
Shafroth, by reason of his member
ship on the agricultural appropriations
committee of the Senate, was able to
get attached as an amendment to the
agricultural appropriation bill, and
which passed both branches of Con
gress. The law provides that the sec
retary of agriculture may grant leases
for not to exceed thirty years to per-
sons and associations for tracts of the
public domain not exceeding five
acres, to be used for summer homes.

That the Sabin bills were drawn up
In good faith, and were in no manner
designed as an attack on Judge Ben B.
Lindsey, was the assertion of former
Judge Hubert l.. Shattuck, when he
learned of Judge Lindsey's charges
following the testimony in the How
land case that the package of money"
had been subscribed to hire a detect
i've in the campaign to push the bills
through the Legislature.
Shattuck said that he had drawn up
the bills in question at the request of
Representative Sabin, and that they
We're simply intended to do away with
the friction and extra work sometimes
occasioned by the existence Of sep
arate courts. 1t was misfortune, be
said, if they had been made the ve-
hicle of personal attack on the judge
of the Juvenile Court
These bills" said Shattuck, would
put all of the jurisdiction involving
family relations in one place and do
away with all possibility of a clash
In jurisdiction, which sometimes arises
from one court granting a divorce
when there are children involved and
another court dealing with the chill
dren."
