Gets $40 Per Month;
Cannot Collect Fees

Pierre. Nov. 26.--That a salary Oh
$40 a month is just as much OF a
bar to a police officer collecting ices
for serving papers in criminal case
as is a salary of any other amount Is
the opinion of Attorney General
Payne.
The opinion comes up in regard
to a. situation at Cotton, where a po-
lice officer appointed as a poiicehai'
gets the salary above stated.
He evidently felt that MS pay
was not enough to make him mucn
of policeman, and he demanded ices
for serving papers. (.
But the law appears to be tnat q
salaried officer cannot coliect suon
fees. and the fact that his salary y
decidedly low one in no way al.
fects the legal status OF sucn oilioel
when he is carrying out the duties
required of him under the law, ano
he may not secure fees for the sers'
ice.

Brig Ranch Sells
For $4,000

Mitchell, Nov. 25.-A $139,000
land deal, made after an automobile
drive of more than 800 miles over
icy roads in near zero temperatures
by one of the men intesested, was
closed in Mitchell Saturday. 1t was
one of the largest real estate deals
made in central South Dakota this
year.
Carl J. Noltze, large land owner
and business man of Hawarden, Ia,
took over the highly improved 400
acre ranch of M. j. Hardin, near For
estburg. In exchange he gave fine
half section of land near Artesian, an
improved half section of land in
North Dakota, together with securi-
ties which brought the total to $780,
600.
Although the weather was dis
agreeable, Mr.. Noltze drove more
than 800 miles in looking after the
details of the trade.

FURTHER CUTS
IN RAIL RATES
-
INVESTIGATION NOW STARTING
INTENDED TO BRING GEN
ERAL REDUCTION IN FEW
MONTHS.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Extensive
rate reductions will be made by the
Interstate Commerce commission
within the next few months, high
official of the commission said to-
day.
The commission has determined,
it was said, that more cate cuts must
come, and the investigation ordered
yesterday is to determine the exact
rate of the reduction.
A general reduction affecting vir-
tually all passenger and freight
charges may be made by the COM
mission in a series of decisions.
horizontal cutting of rates to a lower
level is not favored by the commits
sion. which has taken stand against
such action holding that it causes
too many determinations.
The Investigation as to further
rate cuts probably will take several
weeks. because of its extensive cnaf-
acter. The railroads are virtually
certain to oppose further cuts unless
a big clash can be made in railroad
wages. and the railway labor board,
in settling the recent threatened rail-
strike gave assurances to the union
laeders that the pay of the workers
would remain at the present level
until next July.
Meanwhile, the roads have pro-
posed to the commission that the Or
der of October 20 calling for a l6
per cent reduction in the rates OF
grain and hay be set aside and thar
a 10 per cent reduction on carload
shipments of farm products, with
an immediate reduction in ran "as-
es be substituted.

GU URzON ISSUES
WARNING TO FRANCE
FRANCE is POINTEDLY SCORED
FOR So-CALLED SELFISH.
NESS.

London, Nov. 26.--One of the
most outspoken warnings addressed
by the foreign minister of one nation
to another friendly nation was de-
livered by Marquis Curon of Kedle-
ston to France. The British foreign
minister declared if France pursued
an isolated and individual policy she
would not in the long run injure
Germany and would fail to protect
herself.
Z The address was directed primar-
lily to the Washington conference,
but it was clearly an intimation to
France of the effect of that country's
attitude toward disarmament 1t also
applied with equal force to the
French policy in the near east.
peace will never be achieved" he
said, "if any one power tries to steal
a march on another and conclude an
arrangement on its own account"
He remided France that her SAT-
ETY. lay in the confidence of the
world. He cautioned France that she
could not succeed by a revengeful
policy toward Germany or be permit
ted by isolated action to frustrate the
work at Washington.
The speech was remarkable. for the
expressed determination to bring
Germany into the comfy of nations
and for its enunciation of Great
Britain's duty in the new world
which succeeded the war.

STATE PROPOSAL
MEET TO Be TAME
OF SOUTH DAKOTA
LOOK FORWARD TO LOVE
FEAST RATHER THAN REV.
OLUTION.

Pierre, Nov. 26.-Generally, the
political leaders around the state
capitol here express themselves as ex-
pecting very little kicking over the
traces at the meeting of state pro-
posalmen which will be held in
Pierre on December 6. There are a
few, however, who say there are
some leaders out over the state doing
some "bucking' who may liven up
the convention at which state office
candidates on the republican ticket
will be chosen.
These seem to be more nervous
than having any definite ground for
their fears, and indications are that
the gathering will be as lovely as
a Sunday school picnic in midsum-
mer.
Those well acquainted out over
the state and who know the political
situation and who have seen the list
of proposalmen elected from the vari-
Gus counties say it appears to be a
"cut and dried" proposition with
few exceptions and that the greatest
exception is Charles Mix county,
which is to come instructed as OPP
posed to the state highway commits
sion, the creation of any new depart
ments. and consolidation of any de-
partments into one where there Is
any chance of one head handling the
work of more than one branch of
state work.
There are only two departments
of work provided for by the last leg
islature which have not been put in
to operation up to the presen time,
and these cannot be considered in the
nature of separate departments,
strictly speaking. One is the home
building department created by the
last legislature, but which is to op-
crate under the control and manage
ment of the rural credits board
though this board may employ, with
the approval of the governor, sucr
officers, assistants. clerks and other
employees as may be necessary to cor
duct the business.
The only other work not actually
in operation, and which is not a de-
| partment at all, is the legislature
authorization for the governor tt
employ an expert to make an eff
cheney survey of the various depart
ments and offices of the state.

Pretty Rainbow

Lead, Nov. 26.-While the rest of
the state was shivering under the
influence of near zero temperature
Monday afternoon, citizens of Lead
witnessed one of the most beautiful
rainhows which have spanned the
heavens here in many years. The
many colored arch appeared about
4 o'clock and lasted for nearly half
an hour. Shortly before the bow
made it's appearance, a gentle chin
ook wind began to blow, taking In a
small section from Terreville to
Deadwood, softening and melting the
snow ON the mountains over which

Alleged Deserter
Served Three Years

Pierre, Nov. 26.-Tom Gilka. who
was reported as Stanley county
deserter, is asking TO have his record
Strengthened out.
After his registration he went TO
Minneapolis, where he enlisted In a
polish regiment and put in three
years service in the war.
But as he did not respond to the
call when summoned on the Stanley
county list he stands as deserter on
the records, when, in fact, he put In
more time fighting in the world war
than he would had he responded 10

Who Said Witten

Witten. Witten. 8. D., claims 1t

spect. Walcott claims no churches
or jails, but Witten has both. How
ever, the Jail is never used for the
purpose for which 1t was built. The
only prisoners the Witten jail has
ever had are chickens, turkeys and
other fowls. A produce concern uses
the Jail for a chicken coop. There
has not been an arrest in Witten for
more than five years.

There was a crash, followed by the
trickle of fluid fro mthe shattered
remais of the jug. Some of those who
were speedily on the scene appeared
to recognize the nature of the fluid
from the odor. Steam arose from the
fluid after it penetrated the snow
and it did not freeze, showing that
it was good quality of white
mule"
Some Of the bystanders regretted
that there should be such waste of
perfectly good liquor.

Push Bonus Payments
Up To Christmas

Pierre, Nov. 25-Fifteen thousand
bonus payments up to Christmas Is
the mark which has been set by the
bonus board force. While it cannot
vet be told how many claims will be
filed it is not likely that they will go
over 10000, which will mean that
half of the claims or more than half
will be paid by that time. To complete
this number of payments up to the
holidays means work every evening
by the force up to that time, but war
rants are being put out as fast as II
is possible for the present force to
handle them.
