PROPOSED LAWS AND AMEND
MENTS TO BE VOTED ON
IN NOVEMBER.

Pierre, Aug. 1.-THE sample bal
lots showing the referred laws and
constitutional amendments to be sub
mitted to the voters at the Novem-
Der election have been prepared by
the secretary of state and are being
sent to the various county auditors
over the state
The referred laws are the amend
ments to the state prohibition law
which were enacted at the 1919 leg
islative session, which were carried
to the people on the issues existing
at that time, but which are practical
ly of little force under national pro-
hibition.
The primary election law enacted
by the special session of the legisla-
ture was submitted to the people by
the session itself before it shall be-
come effective by their votes, or, BE-
rejected by them at the polls.
Besides these two referred laws,
Nos. l and on the ballot, there are
five constitutional amendments to be
voted upon, designated as amend
ments A, B, c, ID, and E.
Amendment A allows the legisla-
ture to fix salaries of state officers
by a two-thirds vote. At present the
official salaries are fixed by the CON
stitution on a basis of 80 years ago,
and the South Dakota state officials
are the lowest paid of any state in
the union, salaries of county officials
in practically any county of the state
being higher than those the state
pays.
Amendment b provides for state
board Of control of the various state
institutions, for the various educa-
tional and penal institutions of the
state to take the place of the>several
boards now managing them.
Amendment c allows an increase
in debt limitation for school pur-
poses. At present the limitation is
per cent, and the amendment would
allow 10 per cent to be levied for
this purpose.

| to establish and maintain a system of
urban credits for town home build
ers along the same lines as the pres
ent rural credits system of the state

mitted on separate ballots for tbs
opinions of the voters of the state as
to whether or not they approve or re
ject any or all of them.
On this tip, Sheriff Mccall anC
Foster hurried to Miloma and waited
for the men whom they saw comins
up the tracks. When the two stran
gers stepped onto the depot platform
Foster grabbed the younger of the
two and was in the act of searching
him when the older man (probably
35) who carried a coat on his arm
opened fire on the sheriff, shootins
from under the coat. One bullet en-
tered the sheriff's chest and the 9th
er the chin, passing through the hea,
and causing instant death
The gun was then turned on Eos
ter, who was then struggling witt
younger man. A bullet struck Foste
in the chin and he fell, carrying tn
younger man down with him. Tn
latter believed he, too, was wounded
but managed to crowl from unde
Foster. His pal, the man who di
the shooting, in the meantime ha
escaped into the woods, but he RAJ
up town, notified authorities and sur
rendered.
