that they were assured Tiverny had
hot intended TO use the explosive for
any more destructive purpose than TO

Tiyerny was arrested by Deputy

however, that 1t will resign in a few

gotiatfng with the liberals with a view
to adjusting their differences and tab

one to make positive declarations with

Express Rates OF State Upheld By
Court

In the case of the state VS.. the
express companies. involving the
increase i'll rates by the express
companies on order of the inter.
state commerce commission in
proceedings brought by the Sioux
City Commercial club, the sup.
RENE court handed down its formal
opinion this morning sustaining
the state railway commission in its
opposition to such increase.
In the decision the court takes
issue with United States supreme
court in its decision in the Shreve-
port case holping that in that decis-
ion the United States supreme
court was in error in holding that
the federal constitution author
lied federal control of intrastate
rates.
That even if the United States
supreme court was correct OH that
point there is nothing in the inter-
state commerce act which gives
the interstate commerce comm.
ission control of intrastate rates
that even if the decision was cor
rect in the Shreveport case yet il,
that case the interstate commerce
commission specified the territory
covered by it's order while in this
case they simply made their order
covering points in South Dakota
and allowed the express companies
to decide what points should be
included, thus delegating thei,
own power to the express com.
pa nies which they had no author.

this power delegated to them the

Friend Peterson:
Replying to your letter of
January 25th. would say that
we are all heartily in favor of
your suggestion for state hail
insurance, and no petition is
necessary The Governor in his
message (of which l am sending
you a copy recommed the invest
igation of the Sask., Canada plan.
The speaker of the House,
Hon. H. G.. Roberts lisa Day
County farmer aad is also a
strong believer in this plan, and
this morning had u conference
with the speaker and the Govern
or Oh this plan and they both
informed me that they tried to
enact such a law two years ago,
but owing to our state constitu-
tion, an amendment for a state
hail Insurance would have M he
submitted to a voted by the peo-
pic at the next general election
first. Such an amendment we
shall make every effort to pass
at this session and | am gather

Sask., plan from the Insurance
Commission. which will be pre-
sented as arguments in favor OF
this plan when the amendment
comes up for a vote in the House
| also have Joint resolution

iallowing the state to engage in

friends, and Speaker Roberts went
out to that place Saturday to join
her for an over Sunday visit
Most of the members from the
northeast part OF the state have
gone home for the recess and very
few of them are left lnthe city.
One OF the features OF the session
which will be pushed after the re-
cess is tina, of creating the Office
of state market commissioner,
which was recommended in the
message of Governor Norbeck.
The province OF such an officer to
Ds, to keep the farmers of the state
posted upon market conditions
generally and helping them to Sc
cure the best possible market fo,
their products. Gov. Norbec,,s, !,
feels that such measure will help
toward securing for the farmer "A
better return for his products, and
tnaJ such an official would be of
financial benefit to the farmers of
the state generally.
The house passed the Patterson
house bill which will be of interest
TO counties i'll the northeast part
of the state where there is a large
acreage of endowment or school
indemnity lands. The act pro-
vides that school district in which
there is such land may draw from
the state for school aid, an amount
equal to fou. cents per acre for all
such land.
The house disposed of the Evan
del resolution for an investigation
of the clinic charges which has
been made against Professor Jones

Standards:
While the members are at home
tor recess, most OF them are going
to get all the possible inspiration
they can ON the prohibition bill.
AT least that would be the impress
sion when they started as each
carried bale of the printed bills
for distribution among his friends
with the avowed intention and with
the extra number OF bills which
were printed and carried away, tine
people of the state ought to be pref
ty we'll informed as to what that
bill contains. The principal issue
appears to be whether the new law
shall pc bone dry or allow the
shipping in of small amount of
liquor each month. Representa-
t!Yes Eggen OF Roberts county and
kaas OF Marshall are certain that
their short bill whi..h makes the
same regulations in regard to
bringing i'll, or having i'm possess
ION of amy Intoxicating liquor with
III the State, they claim will cover
the conditions and make the state
really drv. The anti-saloon league
bill while allowing anv one individ-
nal 10 ship lntost the state one quart
OF booze, or one case of beer in a
month, covers such shipment with
regulations and publicity that very
few men would take the trouble,
and at the same time puts the peril
OF delivering shipment into the
hands OF topper or minor OH the
express agent who turns it over to
such individual, and between the
two. it comes very near being
bone dry" in fact.
Senator Alarvick of Roberts
county ha.; eaken advantage of the
recess to make a trip to the Black
Hills section OF the state where he
will meet his friends, and at the
same time put IN a part of his time
i'll looking over the different state
institutions i'll that part of the state
and estimating their needs.

stitutiona convention. His idea
Is generally that a number of
amendments be submitted ON "A bal
lot with a cMcle at the head, and
either at the left of each different
proposition, allowing the voter to
vote fol all or anv of them. The
trouble which gathered i'll COM
ments from a number of the senat-
ors was that Dowdell had discussed
the plan with members of the su-
preme court, the governor and
other state officers, and a number
OF the legislative members ln the
reception room OF tho governor,
and that the PLAID had been declared

ner and the expense OF convent.
ion saved But the senate was
worked up and some of the mem
bers declared it was too much like
star chamber proceedings and an
effort OH the part OF a few to run
things and refused to act upon the
Iresolution until after the recess.
The general prohibition bill on
the senate side has been labeled
the A. h. c. bill from the fact
that the names attached as intro
ducers OF the bill are Amsden of
Grant, Borreson of Dawson and
Carlisle OF Brookings and it will
carry that name until it is disposed
of.
The equal suffrage resolution
will be up for action in the house
immediately after recess as it was
one of the bills LETT on tho house
calendar at the morning session
Thursday and will likely come up
Wednesday,, as the chances are that
the attendance al the afternoon
session Tuesday will not be sufti
cient to warrant pushing any meas
ures to which there is more than
lordinary interest. S. A. p.
