TO DELETE
CONTINGENT FUND

What Is undeniably the biggest 81
all sensations that have stirred the
house Of representatives since the
opening OF the session came this
morning when Speaker H. L Holstein
teok the floor and introduced q resoin,
don instructing the finance committee
to delete from the approximation bill
the item Of $50, geo asked by Gov
Pinkham for his contingent fund.
Had bombshell exploded in the
midst Of the house; the members
could not have exhibited greater sur.
prise than that caused by the intro,
duction Of the resolution. And the
fact that Speaker Holstein himself
took the floor to father the measure,
which was drawn up last night, ere.
ated even more surprise.
The resolution is as follows:
Resolved, that the committee on
finance be instructed to delete from
the appropriation bill that it is now
considering the sum OF money which
is known as the contingent fund to be
expended by the governor; and.
further, that II is the sense of this
house that the amount appropriated
last session as a contingent fund was
unwisely and injudieiously spent"
Il want the contingent fund cut
out" declared Speaker Holstein this
morning. in my opinion 1t is not
necessary. II is an injudicious method
Of spending money" !. rs
Harbor Board and Utilities -
Another resolution, fathered by
Representative Tavares, relates to the
harbor board and the public utilities
commission. 1t brings up C. R.
Forbes first trip to- Washington, the
payment of $40 to members of the
utilities commission every time they
meet, and the purported immense
overhead charges that are incurred on
public Improvement projects. This
resolution is as follows: ~
Resolved, that the BOARD of harbor
commissioners and the public utilities
commission be instructed by the clerk
to forward to the house of representa-
tives segregated itemized statements
of their expenditures from November,
1915, to April, 1916"
81 want to have the house find out
how many meetings have been held
by the public utilities commission.
what has been done at these meetings
and whether the $40 paid each mem
Der is worth the meeting" says
Speaker Holstein.

Political NaneuVering

1t is amusing to note what
great credit is due to the
Byrne- Norbeck political machine
for the legislation passed at the
last session in the interest of the
farmers of the state. It is true
that great things have been ac-
complished for the farmer in the
recent session of the legislature
but the credit should be placed
where it belongs.
A short time before the leg
isIature of South Dakota conven-
ed, the Non Partisan League of
South Dakota was born. Men
were in the field working to join
the farmers together, as they
had been joined in North Dakota
for the purpose of securing a
farmer government Of a farming
people The league program Of
North Dakota was laid before the
farmers Of South Dakota and
they We're asked if they wanted
such a program in this state.
Their ready acqulsence and the
large number who joined the
league within a short time gave
evidence that ere a year had
passed. the league would be able
% dictate to the lawmakers of
the state what their policies
| should be.
The rapid growth Of the Non
Partisan infant made the politi-
cians Of the state fearful that
their state meal ticket would be
lcut off unless they could either
stop the league movement or ap-
pease the farmers by giving
them part Of the things that
they demanded. They apparent
y reasoned that if they gave the
farmers a part Of what they
wanted. the farmers would de.
eide that organization was un.
necessary and give up their
Iplans.
The machine papers of the
state attempt to cover the gov,
ernor and his contingent with
glory for their kindness to the
farmer. The same papers that q
Ishort time ago were criticizinq
the Federal government for ar
act providing for farm loans at {
low rate of interest, are loud ir
| their praises Of the South Dakots
machine for passing a simila,
law.
The same faction that is ir
power at the state capital at tn.
present time is the same factor

The Herald editor is not In

The Herald editor is not I'M
mune from making errors. In
fact, in that regard he is a great
deal like the balance of the hum
an race. In last week 5 Herald.
an article was printed which
questioned the actions Of two OF
Lennon s citizens while they
were in Pierre IN the interests
of the city. This article was
written in all sincerely. Never
for one moment did the editor
of the Herald doubt that the
truth was printed. For the past
two years the present editor Of
the Herald has, on various occa-
sions witnessed the sacrifice of
the city's interests in favor of
personal interests. For the rea-
son that it would appear as if the
Herald was volclng a personal
grievance, it refrained from men
tlonlng these occurances and al
ways boosted for each and every
proposition that appeared to be
Of benecit to the city. Seeing.
rs we have. the methods resort
ed to by various individuals in
the city TO help their friends. we
naturally assumed that this was
another such case. If we erred.
we are sincerely sorry; but we
also feel justified. Withouc any
reason whatever. the delegates
To Pierre and others of Lem
mon S business men have been
openly antagonistie to the Her
aid editor ever since he assumed
charge Of the Herald two years
ago, The editor Of the Herald
came here practically a stranger.
He attempted to gain the conf
denee of the business men by
maintaining a stand in the open
and not tying up with either Of
the factions that were at that
time working at cross purposes
for the clty's welfare. Ever
since he entered the editor s
char, however, number of the
leaders IN each faction have at
tempted TO force him into a
fight, which was not only detri-
mental to the welfare of the city
but consisted in a greater part
Of personal grievances and lcal-
ousies. Up to the present time
we have refralned from saving
or doing anything derogatory t.
the welfare Of Lennon regard

that has been in power for the
last decade. How much legisla-
ton did they pass that was bene-
ficial to the farmer before the
Non-Partisan league entered the
state? If the Non Partisan
League can accomplish what it
has in the last two months, by
merely threatening to come into
power, what great things we
may expect when it does come
into power in the state.

Did 1t Happen Here!

A dry goods merchant was
starting downt own when his
wife reminded him of the most
important duty during the day,
Nov, my dear be sure to send
to the city for that new Stan
hope, SO we can have it for Sun
day. You know our old buggy is
getting so that it is not fit to
be seen.
Just a few blocks away the
merchant who handles vehicles
and implements was sitting at
breakfast with his family. The
converse zion drifted around to
the near approach of school. And
that reminds me, john" said the
lady who sat at the head of the
table, Il must be going to the
city not later than next week l
must get school clothes and see
about fall suit for myself, and
while there, perhaps had better
see about new rug for the par
y lor and some lace curtains for
the front windows.
An hour or two later a leading
grocer stepped into the bank to
buy a draft which he was going
to send to a catalogue house for
a swell bedroom suite.
How's business?" asked the
banker. "Oh. not so very good, !"
replied the grocer, things are
dull just now
Before the banker finished
writing the draft dapper young
man with a grip stepped up and
asked how everything was. The
banker seemed glad to see him.
He was a representative of a big
printing establishment in anoth-
er state. He and the banker chat
ted pleasantly for few minutes,
after which the young man in
quired casually of his friend be-
hind the window if he wanted
anything. "Well,yes," replied the
cashier, Il believe do. Print us
500 drafts. 10000 checks and a
couple Of thousand letter heads. :
The young man thanked his
friend cordially and hustled out.
!, That night the local business
men had a meeting at the town
hall to discuss the growth of the
mail order evil.
All the gentlemen mentioned in
the narrative delivered a short
talk. They agreed that the farm
ers were guilty of treason tc
their home merchants when they
persisted in buying their goods
from mail order houses, and
the meeting closed by adopting
strong resolutions against trad
ing away from home.
