Pierre
The city manager proposition and
the adoption of a budget system for
the state of South Dakota will receive
careful consideration during the bien-
NAL session Of the legislature, which
will convene Tuesday, January 2.
One of the leaders in the movement
for the adoption of a budget system
and for the enactment of a law en-
powering the cities and towns of South
Dakota to employ a business manager
is w. II. Lyon, of Sioux Falls, who was
elected a member of the lower house
from Minnehaha county.
During his campaign Mr.. Lyon CON-
municated with practically all the
nominees for the legislature, and it is
understood that practically all the re-
plies he received were favorable to
the adoption OF the budget system for
the state and the enactment OF a law
authorizing the employment of city
managers. The friends of the two
measures believe that both PROPOSE
tons will be Endorsed by the legis-
lature.
Many Out for Speaker.
Interest is increasing as to who will
be chosen speaker OF the lower house.
Several Republican candidates have
been waging an active campaign
among the MEMBERSHIPS since the
election in November.
Friends of James G.. Mcfarland, of
WATERFOWL, predict that Mr.. McFar-
land will be chosen speaker. A state
ment has been issued that McFar-
land now has received pledges of sup
port from a majority of the members
Of the legislature.
The Democratic members of the
house are expected to present a candi-
date who will be given a compli-
mentary vote by the Democratic men,
bers.
Want New Office Created.
At a meeting held st Mitchell by
prohibitionists from several points in
the state, and by one or two prohibit
ton workers from other state. Ii was
decided to ask the coming legislature

sioner Of prohibition.
His duties would be TO enforce the
statewide prohibition law. which will
be enacted by the legislature in con-
formity with the constitutional amend
ment providing for statewide prohibit
ton adopted by the voters OF South
Dakota at the election in November.
The proposed new officer would as
sumo his duties July / next, when
statewide prohibition Is scheduled to
go into effect in South Dakota.
