construction of a refuse burner.
In constructing the crematory
the following features are very
essential.
Have it of large capacity;
Have it enclosed so the fire can
not spread and do damage;
Have a good crate for the ma
terial to rest on, Git may be com.
posed OF old iron that is. good and
Strong);
Have this great about one foot
from the ground;
Have a good draft UP around
the material to be burned;
The upper part may be con
Structed of old sheet iron or sim
liar material.
This crematory will not cost
much if all the material has to be
bought, and it is absolutely for
the proper conditions around all
farms and ranches.
DO not drag an animal that died
from disease over the ground but
haul it on a Stoneboat or some
such conveyance. This convey
ance should then be well disin-
fected as should everything that
has had a chance to become con-
taminated with the disease. All
litter and such should be burned
and the stalls and buildings in
which the animal has been kept
should bo disinfected. Quick-lime
is good disinfectant for soil, if
the application is made carefully.
Disease is spreading much more
rapidly than it should and the
only way to prevent the enorm-
GUS loss caused by disease, is to
clean up all infected places.
Any ground that has had chol-
era hogs on it, should be plowed
if possible and kept in a cultivat-
ed crop for a year OF two. Where
this is impractical, clean up and
burn all litter and apply lime to
the ground. Disinfect the sheds
and barns that the hogs were in.

Governor NOrbeCkS Rural Credits Law
Aids In State Development

amendment and under the terms
any proposed enterprise must
first be approved by two-thirds
majority vote of the legislature,
The possibilities are unlimited
If the people so elect, they may
engage in manufacturing, ware
house, elevator and milling busi.
ness throughout the state and in
any kind of internal improve
mentS, providing the voters at
the next election adopt the con-
Stitutional amendment which has
been submitted to them. 1t is this
same amendment which the farm
erS of North Dakota were con-
tending for at Bismark, but which
failed to get through the North
Dakota legislature.
William H. Talmage, General
Agent of the National organiza-
ton of the Farmers Non-Partisan
League, whose office is at Fargo,
North Dakota, and r. w. Morser
of Sioux Falls, State Manager
and Secretary of the League for
South Dakota, were in Pierre dur
ing the closing days of the ses-
sion, and in interviews with local
newspaper men expressed them
selves as highly 9ratified with the
legislation which had been pass
ed at this session in South Da-
kOta.
Probably the most important
piece of legislation enacted at
this session was the Rural Cred
its bill which was fathered by
Governor Norbeck and known as
his pet hobby. In this last law
the red tape has all been done
away with and it has been made
as easy as possible for the farmer
to secure his money. The New
Zelands have had this law for the

past twenty-five years and is the
plan which was advocated during
the campaign by the Farmers
Non-Partisan League during the
North Dakota campaign last fall,
but which the North Dakota leg
islature has failed to enact into
law.
Under this plan the state bor-
rows the money, issues bonds,
and loans the money direct to ac-
tual farmers men who are farm
ing their farms. The measure
will in no way profit the land
speculatOr. An appropriation of
100000 was made for a revolv-
ing fund used in connection with
the rural credits law. Governor
Norbeck estimates that the state
can borrow its money at four per
cent or less and that it will be
practical to loan the money at
five per cent, baSin9 his figures
upon breSent day interest rates.
Blank applications for the secur-
ing of loans will be furnished by
the Rural Credits Board, of which
the Governor is chairman, and
the money will be loaned direct
by the Board to the borrower.
The law will be in operation after
July first.
Great cooperation has been
manifest between the various de-
partments of state during the
present session of the legislature.
Governor Norbeck and the mem
berS of the legislature have work
ed in perfect harmony and this is
responsible for the excellent leg
islation which has been passed.
Governor Norbeck is one of the
largest land owners in this state,
and of course. is interested, nat
urally in anv measure which will
be of benefit to the agricultural
interests of South Dakota. He
has been one of the hardest
worked men in the State House.

Some Figures On
Local Taxes

Much talk has been going the
rounds upon the streets of Kado-
ka the past few weeks in regard
to how much it would cost the
tax payers of town should water
system be installed. While it is
true that the installation of a
water system will increase our
taxes little, the burden will not
fall heavily upon a great major
lty of our citizens, and for that
matter, the saving in what it
costs US now to get our supply
will more than pay the added
taxes, and just think of the con-
venience in having hydrant at
our back door or in the front
yard.
To set aside all talk on whom
the burden would fall the heavi-
est upon, the Press has gone to
the trouble of going to the county
treasurer's office and has secured
a list which is published below,
of the amount of the 1916 taxes
which will have to be paid by the
resident citizens and firms within
the incorporation of Kadoka. In
this list we have only listed the
business men, citizens and firms
whose taxes amount to 5000 or
more, as the list of under $1,000
would take up too much space.
Following is the list:

Seldom does so many of the re-
commentators contained in a
governors message become en-,
acted into law as was the case
with those contained in Governor
Norbeck's message.
Among the governors recon.
mendatiOnS which have become
laws were:
Prohibition Law. The COVER
nor recommending that a strong
law with practical enforcement
features be passed to carry out
the provisions of the "dry" con-
stitutional amendment.
State Constabulary, with State
Sheriff. Providing for all county
sheriffs working under one head.
Also for state enforcement Of
ficer.
State Hail Insurance. Provid-
ing for submitting amendment
for hail insurance through state
department.
Irrigation Projects Assistance.
The Angostura project given
special attention.
WOrkmen's Compensation Act.
A law in keeping with similar
laws enacted in the most progress
sive states of the west.
Market Commissioner and Ter
minal Elevators. Providing for
Market Commissioner and sub
mitting an amendment which will
allow the state to erect terminal
elevators. In recommending this
legislation, Governor Norbeck
said, ITO protect the man who
produces the grain from the in
terestS which dictate and control
the price to the advantage of the
speculator must be the duty of
the state"
In the neighborhood of $50 laws
were passed during the session a
large number of them being am
endments to existing laws and ap-
preparations relating to state in
stitutions. A large number of
the laws were corrections in eX-
listing statutes. The legislature
provided for a codifcation of the
laws, and desired that so far as
possible the present laws be cor
rected for the new work. Fewer
new laws were passed than in
several sessions last past. One
measure in which the people are
generally interested is the |. w.
w. law, which provides a heavy
penalty for CARRYING weapons on
trains, and investing train crews
with police powers to carry out
the provisions of this measure.
While the legislature of North
Dakota has been receiving much
publicity as farmers" leeisla-
ture yet the fact remains that the
farmers are in the minority, while
in South Dakota 78 out of l48 are
farmers and stockmen, eight
more than a majority and the
South Dakota legislature has pass
ed more legislation of interest to
the agricultural classes than has
any session of the legislature in
the Northwest.
The Farmers Non-Partisan
League has urged the legislature
to open the door wide enough to
allow the state to indulge in busi-
ness undertakings that will help
bring the producer and consumer
together and do away with the
monopoly and private control of
the avenues of trade. Such an
amendment strongly backed by
administration influence was pass
ed during this session.
The Farmers League through
William H. Talmaee, General
Agent has asked that the state
be allowed to 60 as high as one
million dollars in expenditures of
business enterprises approved by
The Kadoka press and Kadoka reporter. [volume] (Kadoka, S.D.) 1910-1923, 1917-03-16


You are due TO a heavy loss in
livestock, unless you, as a whole,
cease your reckless practices re-
9arding the disposal OF dead
stock. This is one of the great
est sources for the spread of dis
ease. Animals that die from dis
ease will cause disease to spread
unless they are burned or buried
deep enough to stay buried. Burn
ing is by far the most practical
and the SureSt was for Lyman
county. Many times when ami
mails die there is no place where
they can be burned because of
the danger of prairie fires.
For this reason | believe it is
worth while for every farmer and
Stockman to have a Crematory
for the disposal of dead stock and
other dangerous refuse. 1t can
be built with little or no expense.
1t should be large enough to burn
a full grown horse or COW with
out having to cut them up; for an
animal that dies of any disease
should not be opened. All ex-
Cretions and tissues of the diSeas-
ed animal are dangerous sources
of infection. Almost every farm
er and stockman has some old
crap iron that can be used for the

Protect your own place and in
so doing you are protecting your
nei9hborS. Remember that one
man leaving a small place unclean
may cost thousands of dollars to
the farmers and stockmen of
Lyman county.
We have wonderful county
for the development of good live
stock and it is our duty to pro-
tect it from becoming a hot-bed
of disease. Let each one of us
see that our immediate vicinity
is cleaned up as soon as the
