LEGISLATURE
STATE INSTITUTIONS NEED
FUNDS-NEEDS OF SER
VICE MEN

Pierre, June 23.-The special ses-
sion of the state legislature began
at 10 o'clock this morning with the
officers of the regular session pre-
siding under the call of the COVER
nor. The length of the session will
be determined by what legislation is
considered.
In his message Governor Norbeck
sums up the situation in the state
ment that THE prevailing conditions
and unusual circumstances have
forced us into an acute situation. It
is impossible for our state institu-
tions to get along until the next reg
ular session with the funds available.
Our service men and their depen-
dents should have immediate recog
milton. The hydro-electric survey
has been made, the report completed,
and the project is of such proportion
that it should have action by the rep
resentatives of the peoples represen-
tatives.
Interest rates have advanced to
the point where it is impossible to
sell school district or municipal
bonds, for the limits fixed by law
were based upon previous conditions
and acute conditions exist in many
places where it is impossible to pro-
vide the additional school room or
waterworks and light plants. Re-
cent floods have caused great de-
struction to bridges and highways
and many counties have been unable
to secure funds for rebuilding owing
to the limitations. The housing sit
uation is acute in every town and
village Relief is important
In the matter of the housing and
bonus propositions, the governor
calls attention to the fact that con-
stitutonal amendments will be re-
quired to meet the situation.
In presenting his message to the
joint session, Governor Norbeck de-
voted as much time to the eXplana-
tion of the conditions which called
for his comment as he did to the

Uses Gasoline
to Kill GOphers

Fulton, June ga sure method
of killing gophers has been adopted
by Lyle Washburn, a progressive
farmer of this vicinity. If left un-
molested these little animals usually
destroy great quantities of valuable
crops. Washburn carries small can
filled with gasoline and few pieces
of soft rags that will absorb the gas
oline whenever he is working about
his farm. When he runs across a
gopher hole he places piece OF rae
saturated with gasoline in the hole
and covers it up, and in a short time
the gophers come up as far as they
can and the fumes of the gasoline
kills them.

With McAdoo in it, making three

THE LAST CONFEDERATE.

With the death of Senator Bank

away. For the first time since recon

soldier of the Confederacy in its mem

another. The Confederate soldier
who was nineteen years of age when
the war closed is now seventy-four,

For a third of a century almost the
Confederate soldiers largely repre-

Among the causes of decreased pro-

William A. Tayler, chief of the bu.

price of manure as a contributing
cause. Market gardeners use great
quantities Of manure. For several
years they have been feeling the grow.

last two years the high cost of feed
has accelerated this change, and the
scarcity of manure in many localities

LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS.

One of the most important questions
to be decided by the next legislature
: will be that of deristricting the state
{ as required by the constitution. This
!, plain duty the legislature of 1911 re-
fused to perform. AS consequence
the apportionment of senators and rep
ssresentatives made twenty years ago is
unchanged. No fair, intelligent and
informed voter can defend the outrag-
eous apportionment made in 1901. 1t
was made in fragrant disregard of con-
stitutional provisions and was made
to serve, not the public good, but a
partisan purpose. 1t is violative of
every principle of representative gov
eminent.
The next legislature should appor-
ton the senators and representatives
according to the plain mandate of the
constitution and without regard to
the effect that such course may have
on the fortunes of either of the two
political parties. II the democratic
party can be kept in legislative power
