By ANSON TEAGER Artti-Ldrr Staff Writer Huron, Dee. 7 Millard Scott, 56, who has had exten slve experience In the execu uve nrancn 01 state govern ment, goes to Pierre in Jan uary as state senator from Beadle County. Scott, who Is in farm and ranch loan work, was Rural Credit director from 1939 to 1945, when the state liquidated Its huge holdings in foreclosed agricultural lands.

lie ranks education, highway and natural resource as the three most Important issues. Scott would maiLtain state gov ernment at the present biennial spending level of 46.4 million dol lars. He would divide money i which formerly was earmarked for the Rural Credit debt among departments and institutions. "The Highway Department must be repaid for ail monies diverted to Rural Credit," Scott Scott said. He would oppose any increase in sales or gas taxes.

"We should tighten the gas tax refund law or get better enforcement" Scott favors establishing the county assessor system proposed by a Legislative Research Council committee. The plan provides that voters may alternatively select a county supervisor of assessments. He disapproves a self-listing system for personal property. Favors Constitution Revision Scott favors calling a conven-' tlon to revise the South Dakota Constitution. He endorses a proposal to increase the term ot the governor and other constitutional oflicers to four years and elect them when the presidency is not at Issue.

Scott disapproves consolidation of all state colleges into a State University system, with a president in charge and executive vice presidents directing each institution. He does not favor selling mineral rights, owned by the state on former Rural Credit and school land, to owners of the surface rights. lie favors retention of the present ban against out-of-state duck hunters. Scott disapproves enabling legis lation for a toll road authority in anticipation of a possible transcontinental linkup through South Dakota of toll roads to the Northwest. The new legislator is a 147th Field Artillery veteran of World War I service in France.

1 State Marvin T. Gilbertson ranks the county assessor system, Korean War bonus and more money for state Institutions as the top three Issues. He would maintain state gov ernment at the present spending level of 48.4 million dollars every two years, and divide money formerly earmarked for Rural Credit debt retirement among departments and Institutions. 1 More money for the institu tions would en able them to em ploy better men," Gilbertson Gilbertson said. He will represent Douglas and Hutchinson counties in the Legislature.

Gilbertson would increase the sales tax to 3 per cent with repealer clause effective when the bonus to Korean War veterans is paid. He would endorse a once cent gasoline tax increase "only if used for township and city roads." Gilbertson said, "I want the Parkston-Platte highway (No. 44) put on the primary system and the state to get to work on this road this year." ne favors the county assessor system, but said that a self-listing system for personal property "has not worked in the past. People are not dishonest, but some would take of It." "Something should be done to raise the assessed valuation and reduce the tax 'rate. This might get more taxes." He la undecided on the specific proposal to raise assessments to 50 per cent of true value.

All the state's colleges should be under one system, and each one's request for appropriations should be reviewed by a board," he commented in endorsing the proposed State University system. He favors designating the Yank ton State Hospital superintendent as state mental health administrator who would also be in charge of Redfleld State Hospital. He endorses the proposal to dispose of the Watertown State Hospital site. Gilbertson opposes sale of mtn- eral rights, owned by the state on former Rural Credit and school land, to owners of the sur- face rights. He approves the idea of en abling legislation for a toll road au thority, in anticipation of a transcontinental linkup through South Dakota of a super toll road to the Northwest.

He favors elimination ot the fee system for sheriffs. "It is ant! quated, and the sheriff should be on a salary plus mileage While the fee system (in a few cases) may produce better law enforcement, It is subject to much abuse."

Sioux Falls, SJ. Toughest Work Clothes (7- I DEI fcii mil, I tn i. ii.ii.it By DAVID IL. SMITH Arni-Uader Start Writer How to give Sioux Falls Pub lie Library employes vacation advantages different from those enjoyed by other munlcl pal workers was a question vexing the City Commission Under civil service rules, per sons who have worked for the city less than five years receive annually a week's vacation with pay. Those who have worked for the city more than five years but less than 15 years get a two-week vacation yearly.

As soon as a person has been In the city's employ for at least 15 years, he or she is granted a three-week vacation. The one-week vacation for be ginners is the fly in the ointment as far as the Library Board is concerned. M. E. Schirmer, board president, informed the commissioners that this provision stands in the way of hiring competent library personnel.

i. Presents Resolution It is particularly hard, because of this feature, to employ a reference librarian, Schirmer declared as he presented a resolution adopted by the. Library Board. "As far as salaries and working conditions are concerned, we can attract good librarians, but we cant compete with other Institutions employing librarians when it comes to vacations," he said. The resolution seeks amendment of civil service and vacation rules to the end that the Library Board 'shall have full authority and power to employ competent persons as librarians on the basis of their professional qualifications and training and to offer such persons conditions of employment including vacation leave" as the board may deem right and proper.

What this asks, In effect, is that the Library Board have the right to hold out the inducement of a two-week vacation after the first year of employment to any prospective employe of the Public Library. "A basic two-week paid vaca tion after the first year would do the Job for us," Schirmer said, "and wouldn't increase the library budget a nickel" The resolution stated that the Library Board has "on many oc casions for several years past been unable to secure and retain com petent and qualified personnel to nil various librarian positions." It went on to say, There has existed for some time past and there now exists a critical short age of qualified and trained librarians and by reason of such fact it is essential and necessary that the board be given and granted authority and power to employ such persons when available without long delays and to offer such persons conditions of employment at least equal to that offered by like employers." No Withdrawal Schirmer explained that the board he heads wasn't trying to withdraw library workers from civil service status.
