LEGISLATURE ON
ITS LAST SESSION
South Dakota Lawmakers Rush
Work Hoping to Finish Up
Some Time This
Afternoon.

Pierre. S. D., March with the
last OF the session started, the 18TH
session of the South Dakota legislature
faces the prospect Of getting through
at the proper time, on midnight to-
night, the Goth day of the session;
but according to present prospects they
will just get through, and there Will
be nothing in the way Of adjournment
late this afternoon.
The senate kept introducing bills up
to Wednesday and in the very nature
OF their procedure it is impossible to
get them all over to-the house In time
to work them through on a short run.
n senate Will clear up early, in all
probability, but the house will have to
stay at work until the last minute,
and may have to stop the clock in
the accustomed way, and the senate
Will have to stay in session to con-
cur In amendments and sign bills and
close the proceedings in the usual
way.
The house has passed the bill pro-
hibtting the use on the highways Of
motor trucks Of over five tons ca
pacity. Experience with heavy army
trucks as well az in civilian work have
showed that when they approach the
box-car stage they practically ruin
the roads and greatly increase the
cost OF maintenance.

EXEMPTION FOR IMPROVEMENTS

Pierre, S. D., March 1.-THE senate
has passed, without the emergency
clause, the bill providing for 10 per cent
exemption from taxation of buildings on
real estate within the state up to ST. 90.
This is in line with the bill passed
ONE time G exempting to that
amount homes in which the owner
lived, and would lake something of q
step in the direction away from the So
called penalizing of improvements on
property. There vas quite a fight on
the bill on the floor of the senate. Dan
forth thought it might mean too large
q reduction in cities where there are
large property owners, and with no in
come tax or other substitute there
might be difficulty in securing suf-
ficient funds to run things.
Although the packing plants COM
mittees Of the senate did not feel that
it is in opposition to start any action
during the present session toward the
development Of the state owned and
operated packing plants. terminal ele-
vators and flour mills. with conditions
unsettled as they are, it did make pro-
vision in some measure. The Joint
committee of the two houses put In a

AMEND ABSENT VOTERS LAW.
Pierre, S. D., March 1.-THE senate
passed a bill to amend the voting OF
the state. 1t was that in relation to
absent voters, a law which has come
into such large usage during the past
year with SC man absent in the war.
The amendment adopted by the SEN

requiring merely a statement signed

which must be filed in advance, and
