OttO Cuuman. SUOCklOlQer OQlCd-
60 Telephone Co., today filed suit in
federal court asking Judge Lands for
a decree to stop the sale of the au-
tomato phone system to the Chicago
Telephone Co.
CUllman is a member Of the Pub
lie Ownership league. His attorney,
Fayette B. Munro, said arguments
will be made before Judge Lands
Wednesday and Thursday, probably.
If Judge Lands should refuse an in
junction it is planned to carry the
case to the highest court.
AS a stockhOlder whose financial
interests are involved, Cullman asks
the court to separate the Chi. Tel.
Co. from ownership and control of
the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. 1t is charged that the A.
T. & T. aims at destroying all COM
peting telephone companies and in
working it's purpose it is violating the
Sherman antitrust law.
It contracted for the purchase in
it's own name with the Chicago TUn-
mel Co. for the purchase of it's entire
telephone plant for the sum of
S6,3OO,OOO and did so consummate
such a contract for such purcase of
July 8,-1913; and on Oct. %, 1913,
the agreement was amended so as to
include certain tunnel or franchise
rights in and under the streets of
Chicago without any further consid-

The property so contracted for
was not worth to exceed $1,5OO,OOO

Johnson and c. HI. Dillon have all
voted for such national law, and
are strongly advocating it. The
last thing OH the program seems to
be an assumption on the part of
someone that the Legislature has
the power to repeal laws adopted by
! the people. In North Dakota, we
understand that the Legislature
has the power to repeal laws adopt
ed by the people. In North Oak
ota, we understand that the Leg
islative assumed this power, and
the Courts sustained it, but i'll South
Dakota absolutely the reverse is
true The courts in this state have
held in the case of Richards VS..
Whisman reported i'll 154 N. W.,
page 7O7 which any farmer can see
in any law office without paving
$lo, that when the people of this
state pass law, it can not be re-
pealed by the Legislature if the
people desire under referendum to
refer the appeal. 1t is clear, then,
that because of the Initiative and
Referendum and the decision of the
courts i'll this state. and because of
constitutional provisions; the Lea
que can accomplish absolutely none
OF the things set forth OH its pro-
gram, unless the people vote to do
so, and no politician can either help
or hinder them if they want to
vote. OF course in state taxat ion
there can be no comparison between
North and South Dakota, because
IN North Dakota tile state taxes
are about three times what they are
here. The Non-partisan League
will control every office and Legis-
lature in North Dakota. That
Legislature meets in January next,
and unless it can lower the taxation
in North Dakota down to our level
in South Dakota, it would appear
that there is room for some work at
home.

Big Enrolment at State University

Enrolment at the University of
South Dakota for the regular ses-
sion reached total of 535 today.
For the same period of enrolled last
year the total was 46l, and in 1914
the number of students enrolled at
this date was 374.
AS the total enrolment for the
entire school year of l9l5-l6 was a
little more than 600 a proportion
ate increase this year would mean
a total of about 700 students.
The total cost of running the
University of South Dakota for
the school year 19l5-16 was $685.
733 80, but from this total must be
taken the fees charged students and
the income from East Hall, a dor.
mitory which boards about one
third of the students enrolled. The
net cost of running the university
last year was therefore Sl75, 79S.
This means per capita cost of
$292.9s which the state of South
Dakota is investing i'll every stu
dent OH the campus of the Univer.
slty of South Dakota. These fig.
ures do not include interest OH the
investment in land and building
wear and tear, taxes, OF any of the
items usually fguered in arriving
at commercial cost.

why, hello there yourself!"
Two splendid specimens of six
foot South Dakota manhood greet
ed each other as they meet with
hearty hand clasp in the lobby Of
the Sherman hotel one afternoon
recently.
Both men would like to be the
next governor of South Dakota,
one of them will. Under black
broad brimmed hat Peter Norbeck
and Orvjlle Rinehart smiled warm
personal friendship to each other.
1t was evident from the heartiness
OF their gfeeting that their differ
ences are political only, as they
greeted each other in Aberdeen OH
the leg of campaign conspicuous
ly free srom mud singing.
i have been in nthirty-fve coun.
ties of the sixty one in the state,
and am confident that Hughes
and the entire state ticket will
carry South Dakota" said Mr..
Norbeck.
Within the past six weeks the
sentiment for Hughes has mere
ased greatly. The people are study
ing the situation, and are getting
a better understanding OF the big
ness of the republican candidate.
V. Fl. Masters, who for seven
years has been one of the special
examiners of the state banking
debartment, with his home at
Spencer, has resigned the state
position and accepted an offer
from the Dakota Trust and Sav.
ings bank, of Sioux Falls, to be-
come an attache of that institu-
ton. He will move his family
to Sioux Falls in the near future.

Norbeck Opens Campaign at Doland

Peter Norbeck, republican can
didate for governor, addressed a
large and attentive audience at Do
land last Monday evening OH the
issues OF the campaign.
MIR. Norbeck dwelt at some
length upon state issues, showing
the state tax of one mill is the low
est in the United States and that
South Dakota is entirely free from
debt.
The nine constitutional amend.
ments were i'll turn discussed and
state rural credits system was up
held as remedy for the defects in
the rural credits law passed by the
last session of congress.
Mr.. Norbeck then turned to ma
ticnal issues and pointed out how
the democratic party had failed to
keep its 1912 pledges as to the
single term, free Panama tolls, &C.
onomy, trusts and publicity i'll fed
eral appointments. Democratic
claims of credit for prosperity and
for keeping out of war were thor
oughly exploded and the Adamson
eight hour law was analysed and
explained, showing that it merely
gave ten hours pay for eight honrs
work and and did not actually short
Ell the number of hours worked by
the men each day.
More people have been been kill
ed this year in the United States in
automobile accidents than in all
the Zeppelin raids OH England.
This is the report compiled fol-
lowing securing of information
from nearly all the states. New
York and Chicago lead but there.
has been large increase in all the
cities. The figures show that there
have been l,o43 deaths this year
with 5000 injured but these reports
are incomplete and would probably
be doubled if all were reported. In
New York alone the police records
show III killed, and 4,Ol4 injured,
though the state records show in
Chicago there were 155 deaths and
eight in Philadelphia.-Ex.

sioux rails, his weekly re.
resume of the political situation in
South Dakota, Alf Burkholder in
the local press, sums up the situ-
alton as follows:
With each day that passes the
republicans of South Dakota are
becoming more confident that they
will carry South Dakota for Judge
Hughes for President and elect all
their nominees for state and other
positions. They also claim they
elect Il big majority of the members
of the state legislature.
While it is conceded that few
weeks ago sentiment tor President
Wilson was strong i'll the state, re-
publicans who have recently taken
occasion to sound sentiment in
this respect throughout the state
report that recently there has been
a pronounced subsistence in the
Wilson wave in South Dakota and
that republicans generally are lin
ing up i'll support of Judge Hughes
for president.
The republicans also claim that
Judge Hughes will secure MANY
democratic votes in South Dakota,
and in support of this cite the re-
cent declaration of c. o. Bailly, a
lifelong democratic attorney of
Sioux Falls that he will vote for
Hughes for president and accept a
place as president of Judge
Hughes for President club. Judge
Bailly has been prominent in the
affairs of the democratic party oi
South Dakota during the entire
period of statehood.
South Dakota for Protection
Some republicans of South Oak.
ota who were inclined to support
President Wilson on the claim oi
the democrats that he had kept the
United States out of war, have re
Gently been studying the probable
effect OH the United states of demo
cratic free trade after the close of
the European war and it is said
they have come to the conclusion
that unless the republican policy OF
protection is in effect when the wal
ends the United States will be flood
ed with cheap European goods and
that prices i'll this country including
farm products, will be demoralized,
1t is said that in fear of this result
should the democrats be retained
in power at Washington and free
trade policy prevail, those republi-
cans whohav been tempted to vote
for the re election of President
Wilson will cast their ballots for
Judge Hughes for president and a
return TO the protective policy in
national affairs.
Claim Victory For State Ticket
If the claims of the republicans are
borne out by the election on Nov
ember 7 they will make clean
sweep in South Dakota and elect
all their nominees. Peter Norbeck
nominee for governor, has recently
been visiting the voters of different
sections of the state, and from re-
ports which have been received here
he is gaining instrength every day,
and many republicans confidently
expect he will be elected to the
Office of governor bv the largest
plurality given a candidate in re-
cent years in South Dakota.
The fact that MIR. Norbeck was
born i'll South Dakota and has lived
here all his life, and always has
had a reputation for sterling in-
tegrity in private and public affairs,
is said to be PROVINCE great source
of strength to him in his present
campaign for election to the high
est Office in the state.
