BUDGET system
SOUTH DAKOTA LEGISLATURES
TO CONSIDER THE PLAN.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 26.-The city
manager proposition and the adop-
tion of a budget system for the state
OF South Dakota will receive careful
consideration during the biennial
session of the legislature, which will
convene Tuesday, January 2
One of the leaders in the move
ment for the adoption of a budget
system and for the enactment of a
law empowering the cities and towns
of South Dakota to employ a bust
ness manager is w. IL. Lyon. of Sioux
Falls, who was elected a member of
the lower house from Minnehaha
county.
During his campaign Mr.. Lyon
communicated with practically all
the nominees for the legislature, and
il is understood that practically all
the replies he received were favor
able to the adoption of the budget
system for the state and the enact
ment of a law authorizing the en-
ployment of city managers. The
friends of the two measures believe
that both propositions will be in
dorsed by the legislature.
With the session of the legislature
only about q week distant, interest is
increasing as to who will be chosen
speaker OF the lower house. Several
republican candidates have been wag-
ing an active campaign among the
members-elect since the election in
November.
Friends of James G. Mcfarland. OF
Watertown. predict that Mr.. McFar-
land will be chosen speaker. A state
ment has been issued that Mcfarland
now has received pledges of support
from a majority of the members of
the legislature.
The democratic members of the
house are expected 20 present a can
didate who will be given a compli-
mentary vote by the democratic mem
bers.
At a meeting held at Mitchell a
few days ago by prohibitionists from
several points in the state, and by
one or two prohibition workers from
other states, 1t was decided to ask
the coming legislature to create a
new office. that of commissioner of
prohibition.
His duties would be to enforce the
statewide prohibition law, which will
be enacted by the legislature i'm CON
formity with the constitutional
amendment providing for statewide
prohibition adopted by the voters of
South Dakota at the election in No
vember.
The proposed new officer would
assume his duties July l next. when
statewide prohibition is scheduled to
go into effect in South Dakota.

Audubon Society Says Work Would BE

Trenton, : J.-Thc plan TO have a
week next string set aside for the eX-
termination Of the English sparrow and
to enlist the services Of hoy scouts and
other children in the work of killing
these birds meets a. protest from the
New Jersey Audubon society.
Wholesale killing of birds by chill
dren, whose characters are peculiarly
sensitive To impressions received at
such a stage in their lives says the
society protest, even though such
killing be confined TO a species under
stood To be misplaced and undesirable,
cannot in our estimation have other
than a very detrimental effect on such
child characters. Moreover, there is
not more than one in 100 of our adult
population who is able to certainly
identify the English sparrow from ma
tive species when at liberty, and such
a crusade as that proposed would al
most surely result in a destruction Of
valuable native birds, the evil effect of

possible advantage resulting from Eng
lish sparrow killing.
ANY effort looking to the destruction
Of the English sparrow in this country
should be under a carefully formulated
plan, whereby the work should be care
fully done Ivy experienced persons fully
capable of discriminating between the

RAILROAD CONFIsCATEs COAL.
E. r. Locke Has Issued Ultimatum TO
Railroad That il Coal is COnfis-
Gated, Will Use Another Line.
Line.

Had it not been for a a load Of coal
delivered to the Mexico Power Co.,
Friday, through the courtesy of A. p.
Green, of the A. P. Green Fire Brick
Co., Mexico would have been without
heat, light and water after 4 o'clock
Friday afternoon. E. R. Locke says
the company has an unusually hard
time securing coal.
Guthrie & Son sold the Power Co.
a car of coal Thursday to tide them
over. Mr.. Locke has secured two cars
of coal from the Northern Central
Co., who told him they would ship it,
but that the railroad would c~onfiscate
them. Mr.. Locke called upon the rep
resentatives of the railroad and is
sued an untimatum that if the cars
were taken he would discontinue ship
ping over their line. The situation is
serious and Mr.. Locke is doing ev-
erything in his power to protect his
patrons.
The coal shortage is due to a scar
city of cars, the fact that miners have
gone to work in munition plants and
left the coal managers short Of
workmen. This has also effected q
raise in the price of coal.
Mr. Locke believes he has the stu
alton in hand and that he will secure
coal sufficient to maintain the plant
in full running order.
