NEWS FROM THE
50. OAK. CAPITAL
DOlNGS OF THE LAWMAKERS
AND GOSSIP AROUND THE
CAPITOL AT PIERRE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
The Rosebud country won the first
state bridge at the joint legislative
caucus. Pierre was So behind for
second place, Chamberlain a dozen
votes farther behind for third and
Mobridge just beat Forest City TO
fourth place by . votes. Forest City
is fifth. Rosebud won on the plea
that they were responsible for the
establishment of the bridge levy and
their request that they be connected
with the rest of South Dakota. Their
bridge is to be heavier than the others
and suitable for a later change to a
combination railroad and wagon
structure. The remaining four are
all wagon bridges. Pierre based it's
plea on the fact that it is the center
of the state and the capital. Chamber
lain urged heavy traffic over the
Custer Battle Field highway and Mo-
was on the short cut trail. Each side
was allowed 10 minutes for two
speakers to present their statements.
Then the secret ballot vas held, each
member ranking the points as he
would have them come in order. Va
rious charges of combinations made
in debate were not borne out by the
vote. The bridge fund is already
established and money appropriated
for the first two bridges by the next
session. A bill must pass verifying
the caucus location, but caucus mem
bers pledged themselves to stand by
their decision.

Gov. McMaster sen his first veto
to the legislature on senate bill 131,
making a biennial appropriation of
$4,000 for aid of common schools in
districts where the taxable area was
reduced on account Of the existence
Of state lands. The governor showed
that the aid given individual schools
was negligible, in one. case amounting
TO only 70 cents a year, where the
cost Of administration exceeds the
benefit. In q few of the 100 benefit
ing schools it was large enough to be
worth while and he recommended
that the real need here be cared for
in a special appropriation. If the
principle and not the financial aid
was at stake, he told the senate, the
scope of the bill should be widened
so that all cities and counties where
there is state property share in the
benefits.

State supervision Of the transfer of
Indian lands to private ownership is
suggested in a resolution prepared by
Lieut. Gov. Carl Gunderson, for COM
mittee presentation to the legisla-
ture. 1t is a memorial asking congress
for the necessary authority. The
present procedure, it is contended, is
for the Indian to be given a patent by
a government clerk, often a non-resi-
dent. The result is that he sells his
land to a Spectator or trades it for
an automobile. The land is seldom
settled and developed and after the
Indian spends the proceeds of the
sale he becomes a public charge.

A crop price sterilization plan to
do away with the possibility Of specu-
lation to the mutual benefit of the
producer and consumer is outlined in
a joint resolution introduced in the
house by Representative G.. W. Croes
of Beadle, in the form Of a memorial
to congress. The plan hinges on a
national corporation and a system OF
negotiable currency issued upon
crops produced. 1t aims to eliminate
the difference between the farmer
and the manufacturer, in that the
manufacturer, may prepare for the
time he knows the demand will be
good, while the farmer must market
when his produce is ready, regardless
of the demand.

Savings to counties and school
districts through authorization for the
issuance of debt funding bonds is
contemplated in four bills which have
passed the house and are now up to
the senate for action. They are
house bills 1876 and 1877, authorizing
the issuance Of such bonds by coun-
ties to save interest, and house bills
10 and I'll, for school districts. They
validate certain Indebtedness war

they are not effective where suits ere
