PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS

will be called upon at the Nov
ember election to pass upon con-
siderable Legislation" both in
the way of constitutional amend
ments and by laws submitted to
them either through the provi
sions of the initiative or the ref
serendum. There are nine con-
stitutional provisions up for a
vote. One of these, of the most
Importance to the western half
of the state is the amendment
to Article XXI which allows the
formation of irrigation districts
for irrigating purposes in coun-
ties, townships. or districts
where the property owners so
desire, at no expense to anyone
save themselves. In fact it is
merely applying the same
amendment which was given to
the eastern part of the state
many years ago, to allow them
to secure drainage, with the re-
verse that it allows irrigation
instead, and the wording is iden-
tical other than irrigation" and
drainage" in the amendments.
This is desired by the western
part of the state, for the same
logical reasons the eastern Sec
tion wanted drainage amend
ment.
Another amendment seeks to
cut out the five year limitations
of lease of state lands, allowing
longer term leases.
Another attempt to give the
Legislature by two-thirds vote
the power to fix salaries of state
officials, which are now definitely
set at figures less than the aver
age manager of any paying busi=
ness would accept.
Another applies state wide
prohibition after July 1, 1917.
Another amends the consui-
tuition to allow the establishment
of rural credits in the state.
Equal suffrage also comes up
as an amendment to section /,
article VII of the constitution.
Another seeks to amend the
revenue laws of the state to al
low of the classification of prop
erty for assessment, and to
authorize the taying of incomes,
privileges and occupations.
Another is the proposition for
a constitutions convention for a
general revision constitution.
Besides these eight submitted
at the regular session of the
legislature, another was SUBJ
mitted at the special session,
authorizing the state TO engage
in the construction of good reads
and to mine coal on the state
lands.
Besides these constitutional
questions, there are, through
the initiative the amended Rich
ards' primary act, and two sep
arate bank guaranty acts, one
practically covering the present
existing law, and another more
radical.
Two acts of the last session
have had the referendum applied
to them. one which allows a five.
sixth jury verdict in civil suits;
the other requiring majority of
all votes cast to authorize the
issuance of liquor licenses in a
community.

HANKlNS0N
BANKER DEAD
Edward Hunger Dies from
Heart Failure.

Heart Failure.
Edward Hunger, pioneer resi-
dent and one of Hankinson most
prominent citizens, died at an
early hour Thursday morning at
the home of his son F. o. Hunger.
He was stricken with heart failure
and passed away very shortly after
the arrival of physicians.
Edward Hunger was born in
Rosenaw, Province Schlerien,
Germany, March l3, 1S45 aud had
therefore passed the allotted span of
three score and ten. He was
reared in his native country and
remained there until 1873, when
he emigrated to America. After
residing in St. Paul, Mimi, for a
few months, he came to Dakota
territory in February 1872, and
filed on homestead in what is
now Belford township, a few miles
north of the present city of Hankin-
son. He continued to farm this
place for nine years. He then re-
moved to Hankinson and engaged
in the mercantile business in part
nership with his son. Disposing
of this business in 1905 he organiz-
ed the Citizens National Bank of
which institution he was president
ever since. He was also a heavy
owner of real estate and at one
time was the possessor of twenty
seven hundred acres of Richland
county farm land besides lot of
city property.
He was first married in his native
land to Anna Hochhausler. Mrs.
Hunger died in Hankinson June
2S, 1892, leaving one son, Fred o. :,
who is now postmaster at Hank
inson. Mr.. Hunger was later
married to Miss Anna Jensen, a
native of Norway. at Fergus Falls,
Mimi, and she survives him-a
devoted wife on whom this blow
falls heavily. There were no
children by this second marriage.
To know Edward Hunger was to
esteem and respect him for his rug
Iged honesty. His word was abb
solutely as good as his bond under
any and all circumstances. Strong
i'll his convictions, he stood fear
lessly for what he considered right
and just, and thought more of his
good name than of power or riches.
He was absolutely trustworthy and
long before he engaged in the
banking business scores of friends
made him the custodian of their
surplus funds for investment, often
without the formality of even a
receipt. He never during his life
time, although handling thousands
and thousands of dollars of other
peoples money in this way, failed
20 account for every penny ell
trusted to his care.
He was many times entrusted
with public Office by his fellow
citizens. For many years he
served as president of the village
board of trustees and was impor-
tuned to seek positions Of higher
honor, but to these entreaties he
turned a deaf ear.
His personal honor was his most
priced possession, and we can all
truthfully say at this time that an
honest man has gone. e.-Hankinson

G. E. Riley and III. HI. Millard,
representing the people of Summit
and the south part of the county,
wen. to Sisseton and appeared be
fore the county commissioners with
a petition asking that the section
line road adjoining Summit OH the
west, and running IL miles north
thru Spring Grove township be
made a county road. After due
consideration the request was
granted by the commissioners and
$500 was voted for the county
provided the townships of Summit
and Spring Grove appropriate
similar amount. The boards of
Summit aud Spring Grove met Fri
day and made the necessary APP
preparation. A committee of three
consisting of NJ. L. Nicholson,
Fritz Ostlund and Martin Erickson
were appointed to go over the road
and see where it would be neces-
sary to deviate from the section
line and also how many culverts
were wanted. The committee has
since performed it's work and finds
there will be no deviation aud the
road can be built straight thru OH
the section line. The commission
ers have been notified as to the
number of culverts needed and
they will no doubt be on the
ground soon.
The importance of this new road
cannot be overestimated as it will
save many miles in the trip from
the south part of the county to
Sisseton. The Summit delegation
presented the matter to the com
missioners in a broad gauge way
and it is a credit to the county
board that they acted promptly

will be strung until all the poles

making inquiries of him as to the
amount of the reward he received
for having found the body of the

ship, that he thought to ask the
Tribune to convey the informa-
ton to the public. He has receive
ed cash reward of 5000. One
half of this amount was paid by
the widow of the deceased and
and one-half by the township Of
Easter. While it was understood
at the time that the county
of Roberts had offered reward,
but MIR. Potts says that thus far
there has been nothing coming
from that source. The county
commissioners seem to be divided
OH the matter, while the county at
torney seems to be of the opinion
that the laws of South Dakota will
not permit of the county paying
out money for such purpose

Have you noticed the big slump in
the street car business? Have you
noticed how many people have quit
riding on the street cars? Have you
noticed how much more room and
more empty seats there are on the
street cars these days?
Read the annual report of the Chi
cago Surface Lines, issued by Leon
ard A. Busby, chairman board of di-
rectors, yesterday. 1t shows drop
of $275,287 in receipts many
less nickels rUng up last year than
the year before.
The. SIS per cent of net earnings
going to the city takes a slump from
$736, 223 to $476,184 The blame for
this, of course, is all loaded onto the
wage boost given the car men after
the strike last June.
There are several puzzles, what
boOkkeeperS and statisticians call
discrepancies" when, they bump
into 'em and can't explain 'em. Here
is one Busby hands us:
Income from operation" dropped
from $8,O19,278 to $2,897,513. What
is called "other income" dropped
from $279,547 to $81, 581.
Swiftly and incidentally, as though
it's no matter at all of public impor-
lance, Busby merely states this
slump of $97, 1856 and offers no expla-
nation why.
Everybody all around gets the
short end of the it in the street car
business, according to Busby, with
one exception. That's the bankers
and bOndhoIders. Interest on bonds
outstanding took a jump from
81, 529, 400 to $685. 55.
In the balance sheet, supposed to
show earnings for 1916 as against
1915 fiscal year, nearly every source
of income slows down.
