STEFFENS LECTURES TO
VERMILION STUDENTS

Vermilion, S. D.. Nov. 24.-"The root
Of the Mexican revolution is special
privilege" Lincoln Steffens, lecturer
and newspaper man, declared today
IN an address at the University Of
South Dakota. Mr.. Steffens spent two
years in Mexico and returned to the
United States with a favorable opin-
Ion of the Mexican people.
'Dlaz granted the natural resources
of the people to american corporations
In return for bribes," Mr.. Steffens said,
but the English capitalists outdid
Americans and received greater con-
cessions from the Diaz ring. Mexico
is a sparsely peopled country and the
development Of the material
or Mexico by foreign capital was halt
ed because of the lack of labor Thirty
per cent of the Mexican people were
compelled to labor for wages be-
cause of the communal land system.
Around every village and town the
commons or communal land was open
70 all citizens who wanted to farm for
themselves. In order to increase the
upply OF labor; that is, to increase the
numbe OF persons who had to work
Tor wages to make a living, Diaz wiped
out the communal land SYSTEM"
MT. Steffens, who first entered Jour-
nallsm as a reporter of the New York
POST, has travelled much for American
magazines and has studied economic
and social conditions on both sides of
the Atlantic. In both of his addresses
at the University Of South Dakota, Mr..
Steftens asserted his belief in the fun
damental soundness of the people Of
Mexico.

BUDGET SYSTEM MAY
PASS At NEXT Term
State Auditor Hardin Recon-
mends New Law and Legis-
lators Are Interested.

Pierre. S. d., Nov. 2T.-From the in
ierest being expressed by legislators,
it is apparent that the South Dakota
Legislature will have before it the con
sideration of a bin providing for a
budget system.
Auditor Handlin, in his report. re-
Gently recommended that the North
Dakota law on the subject be adopted
here. Officials from North Dakota in
to interrogatory from this
state say of their law: THE present
law has been in effect only one year,
but it is expected to accomplish a con-
siderable saving in state expenditures,
as the departments and institutions are
not to exceed the amount appropriated
for their work. The transfer of M
to another cou is not permitted
except by authority of the emergency
board, which may, if it considers the
necessity sufficient, permit the trans
fer of 10 per cent Of one fund to an
other fund."
In North Dakota what was known
as the Lathrop ommitte made its
recommendations to the Legislature Of
1915 as to the amounts which should
be appropriated for each department,
this being based on the committees in
terview with each department. The
committee also drafted the bill pro-
viding for that budget appropriation.
In North Dakota the budget was not
accompanied by a special message from
the governor.

APPROPRIATIONS MADE
DIRECT, AUDITOR SAYS
State Official Asserts Many De-

Money-Favors Budget.

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 25.-The annual
report of the auditor is just ssued and
Auditor Handlin makes the suggestion
in a letter that accompanied the report
That the legislature should make direct
appropriations and that miscellaneous
funds should be cut Town to the mini
tnum.
The auditor, evidently. favors the en-
RctInent of a budget law in South Da-
kota for appropriations. He says, IN
part: [
Close observation of expenditures
for the several departments in the state
is conclusive to me that some depart
|ments ave been given too much mon
ty for expenses, while in others the all
|loWance has been too small n q
handicap to the efficiency of these de-
partments. l am convinced that most
Of our state institutions are being con-
Quoted on an economical and business
like method, although some of u state
Institutions are sadly in need Of more
funds. / believe that they should be
given q sufficient amount in the future
20 that their work may be carried on
in a creditable and efficient manner l
I'M firmly convinced hat the appro-i
priation for maintenance of state
house is inadequate and that sufficient
money should be appropriated in the
future so that the work could be han
lied in a more creditable manne to the
people. l believe that, if a budget sys-

sota system should be followed

Warner has definitely decided to

preliminary papers. 1t will be neces-

circuit court, when the judge will
make the necessary arrangements for
a recount of the ballots cast at the
election on the office Of clerk Of courts.

so in the belief that a recount may
disclose errors in the voting precincts
that might give him a fighting chance

NAVAL LAUNCH IS
SUNK; FOUR DEAD
Sailors of U. S. Supply Ship
Glacier, Thrown Into Bay
When Boat Paddles
Strike Craft.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 27.-Four
United States sailors met death here
today and a half a score We're injured
when a launch containing 35 men of the
supply ship Glaciers crew vas swept
under the baddle blades OF the stern
wheel river steamer Apache.
The dead:
r. E. WILEY,
GROVER CAMPBELL,
W. L.. DANIEL, all eamen carried
down in the launch.
WILLIAM HEIBERGER, chief ma
chinist's mate, Glen Ellen, Cal, inter
nally hurt, but died of submersion.
The relatives of all were notified by
the nevy department. Wiley's mother,
Mrs. Rita Wiley, lives at Mckinney,
Campbell, lives at Middlesboro, Ky;
Daniels father. Dave Daniels, lives at
Franklin, Tex, and Heiberger has a
sister, Mrs. Louis Schneider, at Arvada,
oClo. A pulmotor crew from the city
fire department worked over Heiberger
for two hours with 10 success. He was
picked up half a mile from shore, too
much exhausted to resuperate.
A fleet of small boats rushed to the
scene and began picking up men. The
United States cruiser South Dakota, at
anchor on Man O. War row, a mile
away, rushed her launches to the res
cue and picked up the first body.
One man, Fred Wright, was taken to
the harbor emergency hospital. All
the others went to the Glacier.
The accident occurred almost in the
path of the Trans-Bay ferry boats
bringing thousands of commuters to
San Francisco from Oakland, Berkeley
and Alameda. These We're first aware
of it when a little cloud of seagoing
tugs and launches scattered from the
piers allotted to various towing COM
panies and clustered around the
Apache. To the fact tina these craft
We're SO near at hand was attributed
the remarkably small loss of life, as
contrasted with an upset in New York
harbor some years ago.
The launch, in charge of Bob Rob-
erts, coxswain, put out from the city
between piers IA and 16. It pier IA
lay naval Aaler barge No. 25. At pier
IL was the t.pache, just docking. The
space betWeen was small, but Rober
considered Il ample and headed the
launch midway between the two big
boats.
AS the launch ran out from the pro-
tecting piers the tide caught it and
swept it against the stern of the river
steamer.
HI Apache's wheel was reversed,
and revolving slowly. Before Roberts
could twist his wheel the launch was
directly unde the great steel blades.
The man officially in charge of the
launch was Boatswain F. G.. Nigg.
Lieut.. Frank B. Freyer is in command
of the Glacier.

general rules that the punch boards so

gambling device. even though one gets
something on eac number punched
and therefore states attorneys or other

something differing in value from the
others, makes it, in mis- opinion, a purely
