a sore spot with. many of the men,

requests for salary increases to meet
the high cost of living. The members

ready to vote against any salary in.

going to STOP" Just how far the
situation will go before the house de.

needs of the present day cost of liv.

BAN FAKE STOCK ADS
SECURITIES COMMISSION FOR
SUPERVISED Newspapers.
FINANCIAL DRAIN IS SERIOUS
South Dakota Bureau Points Out
Evils Of Get-Rich-Quick Schemes
Emanatine In Other States.

Pierre.-One of the features of the
annual report of the state securities
(blue sky commission is the recon-.
mendation that the commission be
granted power to supervise newspa.
per advertising in so far as 1t is re-.
lated to the sale OF securities. The
commission says: "Some of the most
vicious schemes cannot now be prose.
cuted because no agent or representa-
tive comes into the state. The sub.
scriber is asked to send his money by
mail and very large sum is lost an.
nually by investments induced by
glowing advertisements. This propo.
sition is recommended by the Asso.
ciated Advertising Clubs Of America,
and was Endorsed by the National AS.
ISOLATION Of Securities commissions.
In fairness 1t should be stated that
our best newspapers refuse that class
of advertising and the law would only
AFFECT those who are inclined to dis.
regard the public interest"
They reiterate the statement of
their first report that the small co.
operative companies of the state are,
as rule, paying institutions and are
managed along safe business lines,
and give strong Endorsement to this
class Of companies. but they are far
from enthusiastic over some OF the
oil and mining companies which are
on the market with their stock, and
state that the amount of money an.
nually thrown away on some of these
securities is serious drain upon the
financial resources of the state. But
the fact that this class of companies
has been reduced practically SO per
cent in the last few months shows a
good sign, 1t is pointed out.
The commission calls attention to
the fact that, under the law, unless a
fraudulent situation can be shown or
found in the stock offerings, the mere
fact that the chances are not favor.
able to any financial return on the
investment cannot be used to prevent
the sale and that the only safeguard
Is a more intelligent public opinion
In regard to these institutions and the
general idea of such investments.
The food of bills for the session lie
we'll shut of and from this time on
but new measures will be up for re-
consideratite'. The general appropria
ton bill, which the joint committees
have not yet shaped to their satisfac
ton, will be presented soon.
The senate shows indications oil
putting up decided opposition to the
house bill authorizing the construction
and maintenance of county hospitals
finding many features which do moi
suit them, and unless it is materially
changed 1t apparently is heading into
defeat.
The senate refused to pass the
state hail insurance bill on the first
test vote lacking the necessary two
thirds to carry 1t as an emergency
measure. but 1t will be out on recon.
sideration again with the probability
that 1t will 30 through.

Harmonic Game Laws.

The hunters OF the state will wait
until the 10th Of the month before
they get into the hunting fields this
year. Up to the present the season
trr chickens. grouse and other stubble
fowl opened on the seventh OF Sep.
TENDER while the duck season did not
begin until the sixteenth. 1t has been
considered advisable to fix both for
the same date, and the field will not
be open for one class of game until 1t
is open for all kinda. The bag limit
for water fowl has been increased
from Is per day to % Der day, and a
wider limit allowed along that line
Another feature was the house &C.
tion on the bill authorizing the state
game department to secure duck pass
es and fly-ways, even going so far AZ
to allow such by condemnation pro-
ceeding il necessary, the main idea
being to stop wealthy city hunters
from securing such locations by pur.
chase or lease and keep the general
hunting public off the ground. This
situation has grown to point in
many parts Of the state that the 10.
cal hunters say they have no show
when the hunting season opens to
find the good hunting grounds closed
to them with hired game keepers to
keep all away even though the owners
or lease holders are not themselves
occupying the location at the time.
The third hunting proposition was
the fight in the house on the bill to
increase the salaries of state game
wardens. The bill had been up at
another eession and was amended at
that time to reduce the amount ask
ed. This time the bill called out a
violent Charge by Representative Belk
as to the work of the dupty game
wardens, In which he made charges
as to the work of the deputy game
law by the deputies themselves, along
law b ythe deputies themselves, along
with other charges. The house ad-
journed without settling the mixup.

free Of any taxation. The Daulton bill
to allow boxing contests under the
control of state athletic board was
