pointed by Governor Norbeck as a
member of the state board Of chart
ties and corrections TO succeed {. l..
Dotson, editor of the Sioux Falls
Press. who resigned Saturday.
Mr.. Ringsrud is n of the states
most influential and substantial citi-
zens and a very successful business
man. He is a pioneer progressive,
having been a leader in the move
ment since its inception and a con
slant advocate of its principles. He
has served two terms as secretary of
state. and came within a very few
votes of occupying the governors
chair, having been defeated in the
~populist landslide in 1896.
Mr.. Ringsrud was in no sense an
applicant for the position on the
board. 1t was a case of the office
seeking the man because Of his fit
ness for il, and his appointment will
be met with approval in every sec
ton of the state. while Governor
Norbeck is to be congratulated on so
well serving the best interests of the

THAT IT is BAD
LIBRARY BOARD FINDS BUILD
ING IN A DEPLORABLE
CONDITION.

The board of directors Of the city
library met last night in regular
monthly session. several bills were
audited and allowed. and incidental
matters pertaining TO managing the
library attended to.
After the business Of the session
had been dispatched the board re-
solved itself into a committee Of in
yestigation, so TO speak, and found
the following state of affairsto exist
That there is no money in the
treasury.
That the library building is In a
sad state of delapidation.
That never, so far as could be as
ce%rtained. since the building was
erected. some ten years ago. has one
cent been expended in keeping il in
repair.
That the roo leaks so badly that
whenever it rains or thaws, water
simply pours into the building. In
one place alone. a wash basin set
under a leak was filled during a
single rain storm last fall.
That the walls and ceilings are
dirty, waterstained and repulsive.
That the plaster is loosened and
cracked on the ceilings and great
particles Of il gone altogether.
That the books are wearing out
faster than they ian be replaced,
and many of them need rebinding.
That a room in the basement
which might, with a little %expendi-
ture. be made a fine place for public
meetings of civic bodies, is now
nothing but "A junk shop.
That as a whole the building and
furnishings are in an disgraceful
condition, and a reflection on Mad
ison men and m
That with the high cost of living
the amount accessible each year Is
insufficient and does not begin tc
cover the actual necessities.

ourselves and our children. instead
of the laughing stock of the travel.

DON'T LIKE LAW
BILL PASSED BY LEGISLATURE
IN REGARD TO PAVING
STREET INTERSECTIONS.

Sioux Falls, March g. During the
closing days of the recent session of
the state legislature a bill vas pass
ed which provides for cities paying
out Of the general fund for all paw
ing Of street intersections. In the
past this has been taxed up to the
AUDITING property along the street.
At the meeting of the city commits
sioners this morning the matter was
brought to the attention of that body
and a strong resolution was adopted
and forwarded to Pierre protesting
against the governor signing the bill.
City Attorney ID. j. Conway when
seen regarding the matter stated
that should the bill become a law IT
would mean that there would be no
street paving in Sioux Falls for some
time after July /. next, when the
new law would go into effect. There
Is considerable paving yet to be done
and the making of this bill into a
law would be a serious matter TO the
improvement of this city.

PRISON Irvine PRICES


Sioux Falls, March 6.-The state
commission which has the fixing of
Irvine prices from the prison twine
factory at Sioux Falls at the begin
ming of the year, which consists of
the governor and of members of the
board of charities and corrections,
has placed the p,ice for the coming
season at IL cents in a lots, and
12R cents in small orders. This is
below the market price for Irvine by
several cents, the general range be-
ing about sixteen to eighteen cents.
The prison plant is keeping Irvine
prices down in this state far below
what it can be secured at in states
which do not manufacture Irvine for
themselves.

BASE BALL HIT
MAGNATES SAVE MANY DOL
LARS by SALARY CUTTING.
BUT OTHER EXPENSES
INCREASE.

Detroit. Mich. March g. The
high cost of living now has number
ed the baseball industry among its
many victims.
Although major league m%agnates
will save thousands of dollars by
salary reductions this season. they
fear their overhead expenses will be
greatly increased. While it is true
that some of the high cost of living
items will more directly affect the
men to whom the club sell
concessions, il is equally certain that
club owners will pay increased prices
for nearly everything they must buy.
Training expenses in the southland
will probably be rs per cen higher
than in 1915, it is said.
Ball players who want potatoes
three times a day. may face the same
stern impossibility that certain mem
bers OF the Detroit baseball squad
faced a few seasons ago in a small
southern training camp, when they
were unable to induce the hotel
keeper TO give them eggs and meat
at the same meal.
Bats have gone up. A Louisville
factory, which practically supplies the
entire major league demand, recent
ly announced that the club would
each cost about 25 cents more.
The price of print paper has seem
ingly proved a serious problem for
the score card business. Some clubs
let this concession to persons who
provide an elaborate card, similar 10
a theater program. other clubs get
out a cheaper sheet. The opinion
prevails that the score card business
Is far less profitable than ii was in
the good old days" when paper was
cheap. 1t was said here recently
that the score card which the De
troit ball club sells will cost the club
at least $4,000 more for paper alone
this year and that the typographical
pen will be much heavier.
or course thousands of fans who
noticed a shrinkage in the quantity
of eatables sold for a nickel or a
dime in the stands last year are pre-
pairing themselves for the worst.
To them the yield of wheat and
the strain of foreign demand are
minor problems when compared with
the prospects for a bumper supply
of frankfurters and peanuts.

Legislature LIBERAL
APPROPRIATIONS INCREASE ST.
00O, O0O-NIIITARl
NEEDS.

Pierre. March, 6.-The Legislature
which has Just closed its session was
the most liberal ever held in this
state, part Of this through the trend
Of events and a large part forced BY
circumstances.
The total direct appropriations
were $4,936.000 in round numbers,
an increase of 81 500, 900. This in
crease was covered in several direc-
tions outside of the DEFICIENCIES to
pay the high cost already incurred
and covered in the estimates of
maintenance cost for the state chart
table institutions for the next two
years. which forced the general APP
preparation bill. providing salaries Of
state officers and of the employees
Of the state institutions and the
maintenance of the state institutions
generally. which increase went up to
$642. 900 over the same figures two
years ago.
Another material increase was in
the military department Of the state.
which was increased to meet the eX-
penses of mobilization, and TO fur
Their meet the requirements of the
federal law in regard to the military
organization of the state MP TO $245,-
600.
The agricultural college was given
most liberal treatment by the mem
bers. who were ready to do practical
~ anything asked for the extension
Of agricultural work, the increases
for all purposes at that institution
being $4,000 over the appropria-
tions of two years ago.
Another item which will be ap-
proved generally Is the manner in
which the state tuberculosis hospital
was taken care of. This institution
has been practically neglected since
il was first established, and pleas for
betterments were ignored, but this
session gave it in maintenance and
buildings %$125,000 yer what was
granted TO it at the session of 1905.
One feature of the situation vas
that, while there might have been a
little partisanship shown at times on
the floor OF the two houses, it never
made an appearance in regard to any
Of these appropriations, every mem
Der standing for them in many cases,
and all agreeing that they had spent
money only where needed for the
best interests Of the state.
