BONUS BOARD
TO RUSH WORK
DAKOTANS COMPLETING PRE-
LIMINARY PLANS.

Pierre, April 12.-The first meet
ing of the soldiers bonus board,
which will distribute nearly $6,0OO,-
600 to South Dakota war veterans
within the next few months, was call
ed to order in the executive cham
bers by Gov. w. III. McMaster, chair
man eX-officio. The other members
of the board, Col. Fred Ray, Yank-
ton, executive head; E. w. Stanley,
Rapid City; Buell. Jones, Britton, and
State Treasurer w. S. O'Brien, treas
urer ex-officio, of the board, were
present to take the oath of office and
assume their part in the discussion
of the preliminary plans of the
board.
Members of the board are unani-
nous in their determination to waste
no time in setting the machinery in
motion, in order that they may be
as little delay as possible in selling =
the bonds and starting payments.
- One of the first things to be con-
sidered today was the matter of suit
able offices. The already crowded
condition of the statehouse makes
this problem difficult one. Because
of the amount of work which will be
involved in keeping the numerous
records, the board will require rather
specious quarters. The suggestion has
been offered that the desks in the
representatives cahmebr be crowded
to one side of the room or moved in
to the basement and the board occu-
by this space. Whether this sugges-
tion will be adopted or whether an
effort will be made to combine two
or more departments in one office,
thereby making room for the bonus
board, is hoped to be decided during
this meeting.
Another question which is expect
ed to be discussed during the pres
ent meeting, is the matter of secur-
ing a decision by the supreme court
on the constitutianality of the COM
pensation act. This decision will be
demanded, it is said, by prospective
purchasers of the bonds and by the
bond companies who undertake to
dispose of them. Whether an advis-
ory opinion from the judges of the
supreme court will be asked for, or
whether a case will be started to test
the validity of the law yet remains
to be settled.
