PROPOSE STRAIGHT SALARY
TO COMPENSATE ShERlFFs

Pierre. S. d.. Feb. 2O.-Taking away
from sheriffs their present fee and
mileage privileges, and giving them q
fixed salary with actual expense allow
ances. Is proposed in II. r. 279. intro
duced by Representative Thompson, of
Minnehaha. Salaries range from 5000,
in the smallest counties, to $4,000 in
the largest. Mileage is only allowed
for overland travel, and all railroad
fare and other expenses are to he for
actual money paid out as shown by
vouchers. All fees are to be turned
into the county treasury. Board for
county prisoners will be paid for on
Il basis of actual cost. The sheriff is
allowed no per diem or mileage. for con-
veying prisoners to penitentiaYy or in
sane persons to hospitals. receiving
only remuneration for his actual ex-
penses.
Figures which Mr.. Thompson has
collected show that ountie are spend
ing large sums i'm fees to sheriffs in adj

believes Il great saving will be effected
by having these fees turned into the
county and cutting out extra charges
for transporting prisoners and insane
people.

COURT SAYS BOARD ACTION
FINAL ON COUNTY DOCTOR

Aberdeen. s. d.. Feb. 20.-In state
circuit court Judge Bouck ruled in the
case brought by the states attorney OH
petition of II taxpayers, seeking TO set
aside the contract made by the COM
missioners with DIR. r. w. Freyberg as
county physician, that the action of the
commissioners had been legal in all re-
spects. and dismissed the case. The
only question left for decision was lhe
matter Of determining the compensa-
tion of the county physician. Both tie
states attorney and E.. r. Harkin, yep
%resenting DIR. Freyberg. agreed that the
compensation of the county physician
should be based upon bills presented.
after the service had been rendered and
as this Ia the system now being fol-
lowed by the board, there was little left
to the case. The court held the board
of commissioners was the court of last
resort SO far as the contract for a coun-
ty physician was concerned, and that
the circuit court had no jurisdiction in
the matter.
The suit was brought when the coun-
ty commissioners awarded DIR. Frey
berg the contract as county physician
at a salary Of $H a month and so
rents "a mile mileage. one way. al
though DR.. j. O. +. Kraushaar had Of
fered to do the work for $40 a month

SHIP BILL DEAD
OPPONENTS THINK
SENDING of Measure to Confer
ence Believed to Be Demo-
cratic Admission of
Defeat.

Washington. ID. c., Feb. 20.-lt is the
concensus of opinion in Washington
today that when the Senate yesterday
agreed to send the ship purchase
measure to conference until February
%, the death knell of the bill was
sounded. Between February % n
March 4 the bill must take it's chances
of being flibustered to death.
Opponents of the ship purchase bill
say the is as good az dead.
because they say they will be able to
prevent its passage just as they have
up to the present.
The administration. it is believed,
has decided to yield and go before the
country on their record, letting the re-
publicans bear the responsibility for
the defeat of the measure.
Republican senators entered into a
"gentleman's agreement" with demo-
cratic leaders to let the House bill go
to conference on condition that appro-
priation bills be passed within the mex
10 days in order to avoid an extra ses-
sion of congress. The democrats, 1t
was reported. agreed to a reasonable
cut in the rivers and harbors appro-
priation bill and the republicans in
turn gave assurances that they would
not filibuster against any appropria-
ton measures.
The fight over a cloture rule which
grew ou of the ship bill contest was
summarilX put aside in the Senate to-
dav and Chairman Overman. of the
rules committee. introduced a resolu-
ton for six senators to consider IL re-
vision of the rules of the Senate as 10
cloture n other changes.
