THE LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS

By the time this comes before
your eve the legislature of South
Dakota will have adjourned with
out bloodshed or any casualty, we
hope. It has been an interesting
session in many ways, though the
heavy hand Of business depression
which rests upon the whole c0un-
try has IN some measure rested
also upon the South Dakota legis-
lature. AS one senator said early
in the session: When / come over
here to Pierre with a couple thou
sand dollars in my pocket and as
much in the bank st home and the
various other gentlemen from the
various other counties are fixed
out in about the same shane, we
are a pretty lively buch financial
ly, socially, politically and legisla-
lively. But when / arrive in Pier
re with five dollars in my pocket
and an overdraft at home, and the
others are in the same boat with
me, we're a pretty tame lot, fin
ancially and otherwise, and we put
on d ID tame Legislature"
Without repeating the Honorable
gentleman's profane expletive, we
may say that it has been a tame
legislature.
Yet it has been a legislature Of
real accomplishments, and more
GOOD laws have been enacted than
in some other sessions when there
have been more fireworks. 1t will
go into history with a record of
real work done.
A good many of the laws passed
interest Haakon county and it's
citizens. There is new depart
ment of agriculture that should
furnish valuable service to our
farmers. The live stock sanitary
board has been thoroughly over
hauled, and there have been impor~
tant amendments to the general
highway laws Hereafter, as oc-
casion demands, we shall take un
