GIVE FEATURES
STATE BANK LAW
URGE VOTERS TO STUDY PRO
VISIONS PROPOSED MEAS
URE TO BE SUBMITTED.

Pierre, Sept. 21--TaX exemption
public mind as they might have
been at one time, and if the voter
takes the trouble to look into the
provisions of what he is voting for
he will find several such provisions
in the bill which will go to the peo-
pie at the November election as Re-
ferred Law No. A, better known as
the state bank law.
Sections Z and of that law pro-
vide for the issuance of $2,000,000
mediately on the going into effect OF
the law.
Outside of that there is another
provision in Section 90 which pro-
vides "The Bank of South Dakota
may receive deposits from any
source, including the United States
government, and any foreign or do
mestic individual corporation, mu-
nicipality, bank or government.
Section 21 provides that tho state
y.
which it does for state bank depos-
its now, but in addition provides
that all such deposits shall be ex-
empt from state, county or munici-
pal taxes when so deposited.
In addition to these features, the
law carries an immediate appropria
ton of 100000 to be available as
soon as the law goes into effect.
While the question being put UP
to the people is whether or not they
want a state bank, the above fea-
lures are a part of the law and 20
with it, and become effective if the
law is adopted.
The provisions of Sections 20 and
21 open a rather wide door for ta2
lodging on the part of those who
have deposits to make, even to other
banks in the state or out of it. The
money once deposited in the state
bank puts it outside the tax roll in
any way.
Outside of the above features
which woupld effect taxation under
the new law, it contains many other
features copied from the North Da
kota law. The commission" is Civ
en- wide powers as to selection of at.
torneys, contractors, architects
builders. attorneys, cashiers, clerks
accountants and experts, and to fl,
the compensation of the employees
and TO build such structures as ma!
be needed in the business of tn,
bank or its branches.
On petition of 80 per cent of tn,
electors of any town in the state !
is made the duty of the commits
sion TO establish branch bank a
that town, with the same powers a
to management and control as the
have for the present bank.
Just how far this provision woul
be carried out, is, of course, prob
lem, but with number of branche
there would of necessity be anothe
army" of employees to carry on tn
business.

TOO EASY FOR
THE CRIMINAL
JUDGE MEDIN URGES REVISION
OF STATE LAWS

iouX Falls, Sept. 21-That there
laws of this state, which will make
it more difficult for the criminal TO
escape and facilitate the conviction
of the guilty man, was the declara-
tion made by Judge John T. Medin
of the circuit court in an address be-
fore the Lutheran Brotherhood at
the First Lutheran church last
night.
Some of the laws of the statute
books seem to have been made by
the criminals themselves" the jurist
said in pointing out where in num-
erous instances the defense was Civ
en- privileges not accorded the state.
Where a man is convicted he is
given all the advantages for appeal
and opportunities to secure new
trial, while if he is acquainted. no
matter what evidence the state
might subsequently uncover, the
man is forever innocent, the speaker
pointed out.
That the state be divided into dis
| tricts and that a prosecuting attor
| ney be appointed for each unit, who
should hold bis position permanent
ly, was urged by Judge Medin, as q
means of training efficient represen-
| tatives of the state to cope with the
highly skilled criminal attorneys.
"The attorney for the state is no
| match for the lawyer for the defen-
| dant las rule" the speaker declar-
ed. "A man on trial for a criminal
| offense usually employs the best at
| torneys. BY having a permanent
prosecutor the state can develop as
efficient a representative as the at
| torneys for the defendant"
Some of the juries selected under
the present system are too loath 70
| believe evil of the defendant on
! trial Often some of the best men
serving on juries are not willing to
believe charges, because they judge
| the man on trial by themselves, he
/ declared.
"Get bunch of prohibitionists or
a jury and they will let bootleg
/ ger go every time" he added.
| That one of the chief means ai
combating crime is to create a pub
| lie sentiment against law violation
was the assertion made by the jur-
list. The greatest force in buildina
up this sentiment is the public pres:
he said. This sentiment can also b.
built up by the action of the courts
