PROBLEM FOR
LEGISLATORS
How to Meet Expenses Without
Increasing State Debt.
ALL FRILLS TO BE GUT OUT
Expected That Proposed Immigration
Office and Other Much Discussed
"Hobbies" Will Fail of Enactment.
Both Houses Fix Feb. 15 as the
Last Day MI Which Bills May Be
Introduced
Pierre, Feb. 1.—The legislature re
turned from the week's vacation 'vith
most conservative views regarding the
fiscal affairs of the state and if even
liberal appropriations are made it will
be accomplished after a change of
views has been effected. In fact there
Is real concern about the condition of
the treasury. The total state debt at
this time Is about $850,000, or about
the total annual revenue upon the 3
mill basis. This debt must be in
creased by legislative expenses and
special appropriations before it can
be reduced. The actual demands upon
the treasury will absorb all of the
revenues of the next year and how to
get out of this session without mak
ing appropriations which will not fur
ther burden the state with debt is the
problem which is uppermost in the
minds of every one.

It is believed a plan has been found
by which the capltol can be finished
without drawing upon the general
fund for more than a nominal amount.
The special building bills of the vari
ous institutions will, if the present
views are carried out, be cut to the
lowest sum consistent with the abso
lute requirement to keep up the work
and frills generally will be dispensed
with. This ultra conservative spirit
will perhaps lead to giving up any
attempt to set up an Immigration
office and many other much exploited
hobbies will fail. The fact is It re
quires at least 4 mills annually to
conduct the state's affairs upon even
a conservative basis and our ills at
this time are wholly due to the at
tempt to get along on 3 mills.
Governor Vessey's first appoint
ment was made on Thursday and was
promptly confirmed by the senate. It
was lion. E. A. Hitchcock of Mitchell
for regent of education to succeed
Dr. Spafford of Flandreau, whose
term has expired after twelve years
of acceptable service. The law re
quires the appointment of regents to
be made during the session of the
legislature before Feb. 1 and to be
made from the different political par
ties. Mr. Hitchcock is a Democrat,
an old resident of the state, a fine
scholarly fellow and he Is now mayor
of Mitchell. Hon. T. W. Dwight of
Sioux Falls is the governor's second
appointment for regent. If there is
anything in blood Air. Dwight belongs
to American educational royalty. Two
grandfathers were presidents of Yale
college and he is directly descended
from Jonathan Edwards as well. For
many years he resided in Bridgewater,
in McCook county, and served in the
state senate of 1899 from that county.
Senator Dillon has turned his bat
teries upon legislative expenses and
has prepared three bills which are in
tended to make a good big saving in
the future without in any wise affect
ing the efficiency of the service. The
first bill provides what shall consti
tute the officers and employes of each
house. Certain officers under the
constitution are elective and each
house must choose these. Other clerks
are placed under the appointment and
control of the secretary of state and
are to be efficient stenographers and
typewriters, who win their positions
through competitive examination.
These are limited in number to the
actual requirements of the service.
Under another bill all bills are to be
engrossed and enrolled in record type
writing and the bill provides for the
means of identifying the typewritten
sheets to prevent forgery. This
method will insure rapid and accurate
work in transcribing bills and greatly
reduced expense. The third bill does
away with the expensive written per
manent Journals of the two houses
and which simply encumber the
shelves of the state department. The
printed journal, after correction and
approval by the respective houses, are
made the permanent journals. These
three reforms will, it Is believed, save
several thousand dollars each session.
The first thing after the recess both
houses fixed Feb. 15 as the last day
upon which bills may be introduced
without the consent of the respective
houses, except committee bills. The
resolutions on the subject declared
each bill should be considered upon
its merits and no sifting committee
should be allowed at the close of the
session to determine what measures
should go upon the calendar. Former
ly this was a favorite method for
machining legislation.
On Friday the govemot seat the
nominations for oil inspectors to the
senate and they were at once con
firmed. They are John Peckham of
Parkston, editor of the Advance, who
certainly ought now to keep his office
machinery greased William M. Cox
of Rapid City, formerly a merchant of
that plaoe but now a sheep ranoher,
and Ed A. Murry of Milbaok, late
sheriff of Grant county.
The house always enjoys a racy
scrap and a racy scrap is always due
when a bill affecting the common
places of life comes up. These things
the average member completely un
derstands and consequently has well
fixed views and he is never backward
in expressing them, so that when the
bill giving to the owners of isolated
tracts of land, remote from public
highways, a way for securing a right
of way over public land, came up on
Thursday most every one was ready
to take a fall out of it. The lawyers
as a rule opposed it for various rea
sons, but the farmers wanted it. Tay
lor and Morris, however, favored the
bill and they are leading lawyers. It
was a merry half hour, but the bill
went through, 82 to 15, and when at
the close Whiting discovered a con
stitutional objection which seemed
vital the majority still refused to re
consider but cinched it fast
Among the bills which have passed
the house are Van Ruschen's two
measures plugging up holes in the
printed revised codes. It takes pretty
close scrutiny to proofread a volume
like the compiled laws of the state
and catch every error, but iu our code
some pretty serious errors were made.
Mr. Van Rusehen has gone over the
compilation rather critically and has
endeavored to cure its faults.
McDonnell's joint resolution memo
rializing congress to call a constitu
tional convention to amend the Con
stitution of the United States to pro
vide for electing United States sen
ators by popular vote passed without
objection. Four years ago a similar
resolution caused much debate and
was killed. This resolution recites the
fact that four times the house of rep
resentatives has passed the necessary
resolution to submit the amendment
to the states and the senate has re
fused to do so, therefore the states
are compelled by the constitutional
method to proceed to compel the sub
mission.

Hale's resolution praying for the
creation of a brigade post at Fort
Meade received the unanimous sup
port of the house. State pride in such
a post, as well as the prospective mar
ket created by it, both contributed to
the popularity of the measure. In
fact anything that looks to getting a
bit of Uncle Sam's money invested in
the state is ordinarily unanimously
popular.

Some thirty-four bills directed at
railroad management are now before
the two houses and cover as many
different pointe. Aside from the 2
cent rate bill none are especially im
portant, but the one which the rail
roads most oppose requires that track
scales for weighing cars shall be
maintained at all stations. This, they
declare, will cost millions of dollars,
with a prospect for but small returns
from the weigh fees provided in the
bilL

Mr. Cable has a new bill since the
recess which requires the hotel in
spector to inspect all halls, theaters
and other public buildings for the ac
commodation of more than one hun
dred persons and requiring such build
ings to be licensed and to conform to
certain specifications for safety against
fire. The license fee is fixed at $3
annually, which is to be paid into
the general fund of the state. The
building inspector is given pretty
drastic power to compel compliance.

The fight which has been the warm
est proposition throughout the ses
sion has been between the board of
pharmacists and the food and dairy
commissioner for the administration
of the pure drug law. It culminated
during the big storm on Friday in a
pronounced victory for the pharma
cists, although they gave up the bis
appropriation feature of the bill. The
food commissioner wanted to admin
ister this law with a provision that
every bottle of patent medicine should
carry a qualitative label. The drug
gist* are pretty well satisfied with
conditions as they have been in the
past, but if any change is to be made
they wanted to have direction of it.
The house stayed with them, 85 to 16.

The house has passed the bill per
mitting the circuit judge to order
court to be held in any railroad town
in Hutchinson county rather than in
Olivet, the county seat, provided the
county is put to no additional cost.
The bill does not declare these things
in express words, but that is the in
tention of the bill and it had the sup
port of the entire Hutchinson county
delegation. It will be recalled that
Hutchinson voted this fall upon re
moving the county seat from Olivet to
Parkston, but failed, because though
Parkston got a majority of the votes
it did not get the required two-thirds.

is possible he may fiave the building

Catarrh of the Stomach
a Prevalent Disease
Difficult to Relieve.
A O A N E I I E N E E Y
Mr. S. W. Jackson, 815 Weaver Block,
Greenville, Ohio, says: "'While I was
superintendent of construction of J. F.
BendeT Mid Bros.' Co., of Hamilton,
Ohio, I became entirely unfit for busi
ness with catarrh of the stomach.
"A friend called my attention to a
remedy for this condition. I began to
improve at once. I was soon able to re
turn to my former profession.
"It would require many pages to de
scribe the condition I was in and the re
lief I have obtained."
Here is another case. Officer George
Y. Stout, 724 North Broadway, Balti
more, Md., says: "I suffered very much
with catarrh of the stomach and ner
TOUS indigestion.
I lo6t fifty pounds In
four months.
"A friend called my attention to a
remedy, which I used, and gradually
gut «11. I have gained half lost
weight back again."
Chronic Stomach Trouble.
Mr. Robert J. Gillespie, 636 South
Main St., Los Angeles, Cal., secretary
of Lather's International Union, was
also suffering from catarrh of the stom
ach a long time. He grew thinner and
paler, lost all ambition and appetite.
Sick at the stomach, indigestion con
tinually.
A friend also called his attention to
a remedy, which brought about a de
cided improvement. After continuing
the use of the remedy for a month, lie
considers himself permanently relieved.
Now, once more. Mr. Christian Hof
man, Slatington, Pa., says he suffered
for many years with catarrh of the
stomach. It produced a miserable
cough, day and night. He tried doctors
and many remedies. At last his atten
tion was called to a remedy, the same
remedy that relieved the others which
have been referred to above. He claims
that he was entirely rid of his stomach
ditliculty.
Pe-ru-na Brought Back Health.
If the truth were known, the proba
bilities are that Peruna has relieved
as many cases of catarrh of the stomach
as any other popular remedy in exis
tence. We have a great many unsolic
ited testimonials from all parts of the
United States, declaring in strong and
enthusiastic terms that Peruna has en
tirely relieved them of catarrh of the
stomach, that they were wretched and
miserable beyond words, but Pernna
has restored them to health, vigor and
happiness.
These are the facts. Now, if you have
stomach difficulty, it is up to you to act
upon them or ignore them, as you
please.
Symptoms of Stomach Catarrh.
•'The affection may result from errors
in diet, or the use of alcohol. The ex
cessive use of tobacco, especially when
the juice or the leaves are swallowed,
is likely to cause it.
Highly seasoned or coarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.
As chronic gastritis (catarrh of the
stomach) is essentially a secondary
affection, one of the primary causes is
an unhealthy state of the mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh
of the nose (ozena).
"The patients are nsnally poorly
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles flabby. Loss
of appetite or capricious appetite.
'The tongue is usually coated brown
ish gray. Cankered mouth is a com
mon occurrence.
"Pain is not common. When present
it is usually dull, and is aggravated by
food, especially when this is of an irri
tating character.
"Vomiting may occur in the morning.
Also after meals. Sickness to the stom
ach frequent and persistent.
"Food produces dull headache, and a
feeling of general nervous distress.
Constipation usually quite marked."
These symptoms, given by Gould and
Pyle, coineideexaetly with the frequent
descriptions I)r. Hartman is receiving
from patients all over the United States.
If you nave any of these symptoms
get a bottle of Pernna. Take a dose bo
fore each meal. See if your stomach
does not immediately feel better, your
appetite improve, your digestion at
once resume business.
People who object to liquid mediclnos
can now secure Peruna tablets.
C. R. Kluger, the Jeweler, 10GJ Vir
ginia Ave., Indianapolis, lnd., writes:
"I was so weak from kidney trouble thai.
Icould hardly walk a hundred feet.
