NO REFERENDUM FOR
PUBLIC PEACE ACTS
Little Danger That Liquor Men
Can Tie Up Enforcement
Laws Two Years.

Plerre. s. D., Nov. 1S.-There is much
agitation in the state press pertaining
to the rumor that the liquor interests
will referend the prohibition penalty
act of the Forthcoming session, and
thus delay it's operation until after the
next general election. This a%pprehen-
sion does not seem to be well founded.
Under the constitutional provision
certain acts are not subject to referen-
dun. These are such laws as may be
necessary for the immediate preSerVa-
ton Of the public peace, health or
safety, support Of the state government
and it's existing Institutions"
If a prohibition law was permitted to
be referended SO that it would not be-
come operative on July l, 1917, when
the prohibition amendment goes into
effect, no restraint whatever would be
placed upon the liquor traffic and o
state of anarchy would ensue. Conse-
quently, such prohibition act would be
a law for the immediate preservation
OF the public peace n safety, and
would not be referendable whether it
contained an emergency clause or not
This principle was expressly enunci-
ated by the supreme court in the cele-
DRAFTED Richards primary case (36 S. D..
26O) in which the language was used
A to such (constitutional) emergency
measures there can be no exercise OF
the referendum power under any cir
cumstances with or without an emer-
clause"

SPECIAL CEREMONIES AS
INDIANS BECOME CITIZENS

Slsseton Indian Agency, S. D., Nov.
l~s.-tlaborate ceremonies attended the
delivery to so SiSseton Sioux Indians
or deeds to their lands by the govern
ment. The government was represent
ed by Maj. James Mclaughlin, the vet
eran Indian Inspector. The delivery of
the deeds gave the so Indians the full
citizenship rights. The shooting of the
last arrow ceremony was used in de-
llverlng the deeds to the Indians. The
Slsseton Indians have been divided
into three classes for citizenship pur-
poses by Agent Mossman, in charge OF
the agency. The so Indians just made
citizens stood first in these classes,
they being pronounced the most COM
petent to handle their lands and busi-
ness affairs without the assistance Of
the indian agent or the government.
The embers of class No. 2, who did
not develop the necessary qualifica-
tons, have been given another trial
and will try to make good so they can
receive their deeds and their full rights
as citizens next ear. 1t is estimated
that about 200 Indians have a place in
this class and may have the qualifica-
tons necessary to entitle them to be
made citizens next year. The mem
bers Of class No. 8 are regarded as be-
ing permanently incompetent, and it is
doubtful If they will ever advance
enough to entitie tkem to CITIZENSHIP
rights.

SOUTH DAKOTA SHOULD:
CONTROL power SITES
Doane Robinson Urges Conser-
walton and Development of
Valuable Resources.

Pierre. S. d.. Nov. 1S.-Doane Robin
South Dakota should prepare to con-
serve and develop its water power in
the interest of the people.
ITO do so will require another con-
stitutional amendment said Mr.. Rob-
inson, and | hope the coming session
will ubmit to the people such a pro-
vision. Our great American forests ere
practically gone, u coal lands are N
ire lands of corporations who force
such prices as they desire regardless
OF inherent values, and the one resource
remaining to the people is the water
power. 1t would be criminal to let this
last resource escape from us.
Germany and Switzerland, wiser
than we, have taken Over their water
powers and the people are enjoying
great advantage from them. ISere is
nothing in the proposition involving
exceptional risk. The state should own,
develop and operate the water power
upon our streams and supply current to
the people at q price which Will pay
operating costs, upkce e and interest
and within a reasonable term Of years
pay off the bonds.
MY plan would be by an amendment
to the constitution permit the state to
w and operate h water powers and
to mortgage the plants for the funds to
purchase and develop them, the state
guaranteeing payment of the interest
only.
"At one point on the Missouri a tun-
mel proposition costing about $1,000, GOO
will develop about $4,000 horsepower. l
would have the state start upon that,
and develop others as the demand 1or
them arises. 1t would probably be a full
century before the complete develop
ment of all of our tremendous water
powers would be required but from this
time u people a ave at cost all
OF the electric current they may need
if we wisely take advantage of the re-
rrces with which Providence has en-
dowed US"

ance, as the calendar contains eight
criminal and % civil actions.

a result Of the flight and disappear
ance of Clarence Dunning, of Sioux

of being Implicated in a box car muir
der more than a year ago. The victim
OF the murder was a young harvest

ance when wanted in court to be tried.
The Dunning case was set for trial at
4 term of court held last spring, but the
defendant failed to put in an e
ance. Following the flight of Dun
Ming, she court declared the 1000 bond
to be in default. States Attorney Bau-
man instituted an action against the
bonding company, by which he sought
to collect for the county the amount
of the bond.
The bonding company is resisting

BIG INHERITANCE TAX
is CLAIMED BY STATE
Important Case Involving the
Recovery of SIS, 900 From
Deering Estate In Court.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Nov. 22.-During a
Lincoln county, which will V in
Canton this week, an important case
involving the ecovery by the state OF
an inheritance tax aggregating $4,000
will come up for adjustment so far az
the lower court can adjust the matter.
Regardless of what action the lower
court may tabe in the case, it is eX-
pected the litigation ultimately will
reach the supreme court of the United
States.
The state Of South Dakota through
the county treasurer of Lincoln county,
ana the state tax commission, started
the action for the purpose of recovering
the tax in the sum stated from the es-
tate of the late harvester millionaire,
Wllilam Deering, whose estate has in
ventoried over $14, 900. 900, including
that part of the estate which is in
South Dakota.
AT the time of his DEATH, Mr.. Deering
was the owner of certain personal prop
crty, consisting of obligations in the
nature of promissory notes given by
persons residing in South Dakota and
secured by them by mortgages upon
thelr real estate situated wholly with
ing the state Of South Dakata. 1t is fur
ther alleged that at the time of his
death, Mr.. Deering was the owner Of
certain interest bearing bonds issued
bly municipal corporations located with
III South Dakota, the mount of the
principal and interest OF his property
IN south Dakota at the time of his
death being estimated at $2,821, 1910.
Under the inheritance tax laws Of
south Dakota this would entitle the
state to. $4,000 inheritance tax from
the estate.
The heirs of the Deering estate con-
tend that the domicile of William Deer
ing was in the state of Illinois,; that
ms personal property was not in South
DAKOTA; that to impose a tax is to
take the property of the defendants
Wlthout u process of law and would
constitute a violation of the state and
federal constitutions.
On the other hand the state claims
mat the part of the estate claimed to
be within South Dakota really is
within the state and therefore subject
10 the amount Of inheritance tax
claimed.

LAW RESTRICTS SCOPE OF
SECOND GRADE CERTIFICATE

Pierre, S. D., 10Y .1S.-That a teacher
holding only a second grade certificate
cannot legally be hired to teach in
grades above the eighth is the ruling
OF the attorney general in reply to an
