nomical reform administration. $3-
4-00 of this sum is for legal services,
and $859 for expenses. This is a
better salary than a Congressman
or United States Senator receives,

An important bill introduced ca ls
for a separate ballot upon constitu
tional amendments. It should cm
t;iin a requirement for a majority of
fill votes in the state cast fit that
election for any officers. If some
thing is not done to make it more
dirt-cult for tiie success of amend
ments, they will become a chestnut
fit every election. When a majority
off al the vol th want a thing they
should have it. but merely because a
minority vote.-for a thing and the
majority faih to vote at all is no
rea. on ior changing the constitu
tion.

The law makers are off to Sioux
Falls this week on a junket, to at

simply rubbing up against bright
men from all over the country.

As reports come in from various
funds, the legislators find deficiencies
that must be ma le up in the next
appropriation bill. There are some
queer ideas 'of business permeating
fusion. Two years ago the fusion
h»gislature appropriated more than
its republican predecessor, but not
withstanding this fact several de
partments of tne state government
are behind. All these deficiencies of
course belong to the fusion appro
priation oi two years ago, which
would make that legislature the
most exp nsiye in the state’s history.
f t
The senate last week refused to
confirm .John Sutherland, oi Pierre,
th<> governor’s appointee on the
board oi regents. The law requires
that the board shall not be all of one
political faith, ami Lee appointed
Sutherland as a republican. Ee was
the fusion nominee for state sei tor
in Hughes county last fall, so the
senate decided his appointment did
not comply with the law. Suther
land is the man whom Mrs. Lease
“God blessed” in her speech at Mil
ler, as an old soldier who had left
the republican party. He was never
an old soldier, and now he must
claim to be a republican, if he desired
the appointment.
A strong republican party measure
promises to put an end to state of
ficers making something on the side
out of fees, interest, or any emolu
ments of their office. It will specifi
cally provide that an officer is enti
tled to his salary and nothing else.
That’s right. Then a man will know
exactly what the office pays, and if
it don't suit him he need not take it!
The passing of the railroad pass is
insisted upon and stuck to. Hence
visitors at the capital are as scarce
this year as populist reform deals to
create offices for the new converts,
who join the party for principle—and
incidentally crowd the old liners
away from the pie counter.
The railroad commission has a de
ficiency bill of SII,OOO, largely for
legal services. It is said that two
attorneys haye made $4,000 each
out of the state for services rendered
the commission. Populist lawyers
come high, but of course the boys
have got to live!
Somebody is after Gol. Harry Saw
yer with a bill to make the railroad
commissioners employ a stenograph
er as secretary. They will never
touch the Colonel, as he can make
himself a st enog. before the bill pass
es to its third reading.

A legis ative experience oi two
years ago is recalled by the Pierre
Daily Press. It will be remembered
that a Milwaukee Brewery sent a
young man to Pierre to “work” the
legislature. The “third house” push
got hold of him, took him to Ft.
Pierre, when? he was scared half to
(hath liy Indians and cowbovs. It
is stated the young man is now in an
insane asylum us a result of his
fright.

Another range bill has been intro
duced in the senate to let cat th'have
five range in winter at thedisereti )U
oi county C;.mmissioners, or it they
fail to grant such permission town
ship supervisors may do so within
their township. That is better than
the former bill, as it leaves the matter
subject to local officers, but still we
see no re ison for takingasingle step
in the direction of making this acow
boy country.
Representative Pusey's bill to en
able County treasurer's to collect
taxes assessed against transient
herds Seattle, is a very good meas
ure, "and should pass. Transient
herds eat up the grass and pay noth
ing.
The wolf bounty bill has passed
both ho uses. It gives a bounty of
$3 for wolves, and $1 for coyotes.
Wolves in this case means big timber
wolves, and our prairie wolves are
“coyotes.” The state pays the
bounty on a certificate from county
treasurers, who must require the
scalp with ears and tail connected.
So any one claiming a wolf bounty
must nearly skin the animaland pre
sen t the hide to a county treasurer.
A Senate bill requires state officers
to buy their supplies within the
state, and county officers within the
county. That’s a good thing—push
it along.

A senate bill seeks to do away

Governor Lee figures South Dako-
ta's entire debt, state, countiescities,
towns, townships and schools at
$7,393,402. But. as the Yankton
Gazette comments: “These figures,
stupendous as they appear, are not
at all alarming when the productive
capacity of the state is considered.
particularly since, as the governor
concedes, the volume of debt is be
ing constantly reduced. The corn
crop alone this year would wipe out
the entire debt. The mineral pro
duct would more than pay it. The
fat stock shipped would pay it twice
over ami leave Home millions to the
good. The wheat crop would twice
pay it. The creamery and dairy
product would par it in two years.
The hens would clear the record in
18 months. The annual produce of
out farms and mines would cancel
the entire public indebtedness of the
state seven times over in a single
year.”
