Attorney General OF South Da-
kota Brings Proceedings In
Supreme Court to Set
tie Whole Matter.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 20.-The attor-
ney general, having some time ago,
held that the office # county justice,
OF peace was abolished b. the adop-
ton of the new codr at the 1913 SEES
sion, and that all acts of such Of.
ficials since July 1, 1919, were invalid,
has caused considerable legal discus
sion over the state, and Judge Trip,
of the first circuit, on the matter
coming before him officially held that
such officers were constitutional Of
ficers and could not be eliminated by
legislative action.
To quiet any further contention on
this issue, the attorney general has
brought an original quo warranto,
proceeding in 1.-The supreme court,
against c. n. Anderson, a county JUS
tice in this city, for the purpose of
friendly test TO try out the issues and
get supreme court ruling. AS coun-
justices at.-over the state have
been acting since the first OF last
July, the issue is one Of Importance
in many court cases, and no doubt
an early decision will be had.

people 20 keep the white man out of
Japan and not to intermarry with other

Henry Ford is wonderful man and

he has sprung great surprise by Or
dering big reduction in price on Ford
automobiles and tractors. The cut in
price amounts to $142 on a car, which
will be great saving to one needing
to purchase new automobile. At the
same time that Mr.. Ford announced
the reduction in price, he also took a
well deserved rap at the profteers who
have plundered this country right and
left. It is now time for the plumber
ing to cease and return made to norm

The crime is one Of the most heinous

said to be local but national crime,
a blow at the economic order of this
country and aimed, it would seem, at
the very government itself. Who per-
petrated the deed, is yet shrouded in
