Bonus, Appropriations, Power Debate Stand Out In Legislature Pierre, S.

31st South Dakota legislature probably will be remembered as the one which spent the most money, passed the bonus bill and didn't pass the consumer power districts bill. Any review of the session must dwell most heavily upon those three aspects of the 60-day grind. Bonus, power districts and $42,592,918 in appropriations sparked the most debate, led to the most hearings, created more press and radio copy and developed more argument than anything else. Beside them, most of the other 44-odd enacted bills paled in interest. Lead-off was the bonus, an administration measure to provide the means for payment of the debt created by a bonus for World War II veterans.

It hit the bill chute in the senate on the opening day of the session and 46 days later became law. The interval was a patch-quilt of argument pro and con over the proposal. From one quarter came a suggestion that the bonus be financed by a S15 million chunk of the general fund. From others came objections to the increased sales tax, to the two mill levy on property to the homestead exemption, to any tax at all to pay the bonus debt. On Tan.

25 the senate went to bat with the bill. Several hours and six attempted amendments later, it passed 27 to 8. A similar attempt to change the bill's face in the house fell by the wayside nearly three weeks later and it emerged enacted virtually as Gov. George T. Mickelson had tossed it in.

The house passed it 69 to 6. The only substantial change was to raise the proposed $5 million fund item to help pay the debt to $75 million. The session's most dramatic chapter was furnished by the consumer power district measure. That highly proposal was given a sufficiently powerful scndoff by its backers to get through the house 48 to 27. Amendments shelving an emergency clause, requiring 51 per cent, not 15 as the bill originally provided, to sign petitions for a power district, and making the districts subject to a gross income tax removed three of the most potent objections.

At that point, Gov. Mickelson termed it a bill he would be happy to sign. Earlier, the governor had bade legislators study the proposition carefully before making up their minds. Two days after he indicated lie would approve it, the governor appeared before the senate and asked the west chamber to pass it. It came from committee without recommendation, needing a motion to put it on the calendar and open the way for a vote.

As the motion made, op- Will Review Conditions Of SD Reservations Washington. D. welfare problems and the appointment of a commissioner of Indian affairs will be discussed at a meeting of the Indian advisory committee here March 8. Assistant Secretary of Interior William E. Warne told a reporter Saturday that the group will review conditions on reservations resulting from severe winter storms.

Noting that reservations in New Mexico. Arizona and North and South Dakota were especially hard hit by the winter. Warne said: "There is quite a problem here, the extent of which we do not yet know." Consideration also will be given at the meeting to the Indian bureau's relationship with the Red Cross which has been named by Secretary of Interior Krug as coordinator of non-governmental relief work on Indian reservations, Warne said. There would be "some discussion" of the possible appointment of an Indian commissioner, he said, but added "there is nothing more that I can reveal at this time." The Indian commissioner's post has been vacant since their resignation some time ago of William A. Brophy.

Almost before many watchers realized what had happened, the motion to calendar was tabled 18 to 17. That was the death knell of the bill so far as the 1949 legislature was concerned. Rumored attempts to force the senate to backtrack never developed.

An anti-climax, which might have matched the bonus bill in interest had it not arisen at the same time the power districts proposal was expiring, was the rough treatment the lawmakers gave the interim highway committee's proposed 10- year fund raising program for roads. The committee preferred a six- point plan to raise highway money. Written into bill form, it went into the legislative mill in mid- February and came out the last week pf the session well shredded. Biggest- loss to the program was the senate refusal to raise the four cents a gallon gasoline tax to five cents. The bill lost in the senate 13 to 20.

Highway exponents figured that it cost them $1.4 million for federal matching. One explanation was that the sblons, looking back upon the record amounts spent for other things and the increased taxes already approved, decided to call a halt, no matter what got hurt. The house aimed another body blow at the program. It tossed out bills to impose a $5 ton tax on Ml. Vernon Men Buy Chammon Hereford Bull Mt.

McKENNEY The winner of the world championship masters individual tournament, held recently at the Park Sheraton Hotel in New York city, was George Rapee, son of the late Erno Rapee, who was well known as musical director of the Radio City Music Hall. Rapee, who had previously won this tournament in 1944, became the second player in history to win it twice.

B. Jay Becker ol New York city won It In 1937 and again last year. In the four times that Rapee has competed in the tournament, he has won it twice, finished third another time, and in the first ten the fourth time. He is one of the most spectacular players in the country, and probably rates in anyone's list of the leading three great rubber bridge players- Rapee thought that today's hand was the most unusual in the indi- AQ3 VQ852 732 Stone 109752 8 A 109864 vul. South West North East 1 2 3 Pass 5 Double Pass 5 A Pass 6 4 Pass vidual tournament.

His partner in the South was Tobias Stone of New York city, who elected to open the bidding with a psychic one spade bid. When West made a vulnerable overcall of two diamonds, Rapee (North) felt quite certain that his partner was on a psychic bid. So he took it a little easy, bidding three clubs. East's bid of three diamonds confirmed that Stone had nothing, and West also had read the psychic when he jumped to five diamonds. Rapee doubled and would have set that contract 500 points.

However, Stone was afraid to leave the double in, having opened on such a weak hand, and bid five spades. Rapee realized now that his partner either had a singleton or was void in diamonds- He was confident also that the king of clubs was in the West hand, to justify the jump to five diamonds; so, in spite of the fact that he knew South could have nothing more than a king or so in his hand, Rapee went to six spades. The opening lead of the jack of hearts was won In dummywith the king and Stone discarded his eight of diamonds on dummy's ace of hearts. Two rounds of trumps were taken, then Stone led a club. When the king dropped, it gave him seven-odd for a top score on the pleasure cars and a like levy on non-commercial trucks.

But the news to highway exponents wasn't all bad. The senate substituted $400,000 a year from the general fund In place of channeling the sales tax from auto parts and accessories into the highway funds. The house passed, and the senate enacted, a bill to'head proceeds from the two per cent new car registration fee lo the same place. The latter measure ought to mean $1.2 million annually for roads, it was estimated. The sixth bill, one to increase truck compensation fees 50 per cent, got no floor action at all.

It languished in committee. Seeks To End Passenger Service To Hills Deadwood. A. J. Alms, general passenger agent for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, informed Deadwood businessmen at a meeting here Saturday morning that steps would be taken next week to file a petition with the interstate commerce commission for authority to discontinue passenger service into the Black Hills.

The railroad executive from Omaha addressed his remarks to a representative group of Deadwood businessmen and city officials at a meeting in the Franklin hotel. Should the commission grant approval of the railroad's request, it will mean the end of railroad passenger service into the Black Hills area except to Rapid City. Alms, in reviewing a financial statement of the 'railroad for the Black Hills from September 1947 to September 18, 1948 explained the Burlington had suffered a loss of $75,797 during the year. Alms' report showed the average daily train into the Hills carried only five to six passengers but required four men to operate the train. "The traffic deserted us long before we deserted the people," he said.

The 106 miles of line from Edgemont to Deadwood has brought a total loss of $525,500 to the Burlington, he said, up to now. Freight service will not be discontinued but will be on a three- trip-a-week basis, Alms said. The post office department said star routes will be established to handle the mail loads. Station KABR At Aberdeen To Discontinue Aberdeen, S. The management of Radio Station KABR In Aberdeen announced Sunday that Stockholders decided at their annual meeting to discontinue broadcasting on April 1.

A. A. Fahy, manager of the station and secretary of the corporation, explained that "the large decline during the last two years in network and national income, plus the advent of television in the not- too-distant future, arc the principal reasons for discontinuing." KABR started broadcasting in 1935 with 100 watts of power, went to 1,000 watts in 1937 and to 5,000 watts in 1940. The station has been affiliated with the Mutual Broadcasting system since 1941. Electrical equipment and fixtures have been disposed of to KSDN, the Aberoeen American-News station.

Annual reports of the forest supervisors showed that' 1,200,000 hunters killed at least 279,000 animals on government forest lands in 1948. Deer, elk, bear and other animals made up the total. Despite the kill, the forest service said, the big game population in U. S. national forests increased 68.000 over the 2,402.000 animals reported in 1947.

But this was the smallest increase in years and represented a leveling off from the upward trend that has prevailed for 25 years, the agency added. Many big game areas now are fully stocked and some are overstocked, the forest service said. In very few areas are there indications of "over-shooting." Deer accounted for 238,000 of the 279,000 animajs killed. Other figures: elk, 30.000; black bear. grizzlies and Alaska brown bear.

220; antelope, 480: moose. 360; peccary, 510: wild boar, 90; bighorn sheep, 220. and mountain goat, 120. The service said game conditions made hunting better in some forest regions than others. In Region 2, comprising forests in Colorado, Kansas.

Nebraska, South Dakota and eastern Wyoming, slightly more than every other hunter went home with his "kill." About the same ratio prevailed in Region 4, including Utah, Nevada, western Wyoming and southern Idaho. There was less success in other regions. The ratios reported include: Region 1, Montana, northwestern South Dakot'a, northern Idaho and northeastern Washington, 145.000 hunters bagged 28.000 animals.

Commission Urges Transportation Be Turned Over To Commerce Group Washington, Dv (IP) Hoover commission today recommended handing all the government's controls over the nation's highways, planes and the Commerce department. In perhaps the most sweeping remodeling plan of the 10 it has thus far sent to Congress, the commission urged moving into that one department all or part of eight other government the Coast Guard and the business activities of the maritime commission. The 12-member group on government reorganization headed by former President Herbert Hoover explained its proposal this way: "It was the original intent of Congress, in creating the department of commerce, that it should embrace the government's interest in the development and safeguarding of transportation.

"Our recommendations are directed toward accomplishing this end." Its suggestion that the Secretary of Commerce "be assigned the duty of making over-all route programs for air, land and water transportation," commission said, would eliminate existing "waste and overlap." It would center on one official the responsibility for planning the peacetime growth and the wartime mobilization of the country's transportation. That broad authority would strip executive powers from several major agencies, but would affect only indirectly their power to grant routes and fix rates. However, the commission said, under the new setup a proposed ail-line would be weighed not only against other airlines but against truck, railroad and shipping lines with which it might compete. The report was sprinkled with dissents. But Hoover, who was Secretary of Commerce under Presidents Harding and Coolidge, was on tlie majority side in all the rrc- ommenda lions.

The report proposed the following shifts of agencies into the Commerce department: One independent agency, the national advisory committee on aeronautics with nearly 7,000 workers, to be absorbed bodily. From Treasury the Coast Guard, which the report said is "obviously misplaced" now; also certain marine duties of the Customs bureau if a study shows such a merger to be desirable. From the Federal Works the entire public roads administration. From the maritime commission- all its business and executive duties, including the buying, selling, and subsidizing of ships and the making of loans to shipping companies. From the executive office of the President the office of defense transportation.

From the Interstate Commerce Commission all truck and bus safety operations and a number, of railroad functions, including safety measures, the making of railroad merger plans, and "car services." The last would give Commerce authority to deal with critical shortages of railroad cars. From the Civil Aeronautics duties of Issuing and enforcing air safety rules. A new "Bureau of Civil Aviation" would be set up in commerce, to embrace all the department's aviation activities- From Interior department all GTA Manager To Address FUAi Crooks Crooks, S. D. M.

commercial fisheries activity, now part of 'the fish and wildlife service. "A bureau of fisheries can be one of the most Important industrial and commercial agencies to the government," the report sold. As projected by the commission, the Commerce department would be split into two main operating branches. A "transportation service" would manage most of the newly-absorbed units as well as the weather bureau and other related offices now ua the department. An "industrial and commercial service," would be set up to include the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, the new fisheries bureau, the census, patent office, and other business and trade agencies.

The commission would make the department, for the first time, as a major order-Issuing agency. It now has few directive powers beyond export control and the allocation of tin and a handful of other scarce materials. Precipi Jerauld County's ipitation For February Is .13 Wessington Springs, S. precipitation totaled only .13 of an inch, .31 below normal average, reports Stanley Zak, official volunteer weather ob- server'for Jerauld county.
