South Dakota Legislature Debates Public Trust and Civil Service Plan
The body considers a resolution attacking Bamith administration as a grave betrayal of public trust after N. E. Knight's motion deferred the measure. A Senate amendment seeks to loosen primary nomination rules if no candidate hits 35 percent. A municipal civil service commission bill would apply to cities over 25 000, Sioux Falls included, with three council appointed members to regulate city employment.

Passage of loan bill amid veterans aid and reapportionment debate
The adjusted compensation act of 1924, enlarged loan power to 50 percent of certificate value, passed over Coolidge’s veto 313 to 738. The Bacharach measure lowers interest to 4 percent, enabling a $1,000 certificate holder to borrow $500, with funds from sinking funds and a life insurance reserve. It raises total loan value to about $1.712 billion, with roughly $325 million already lent and potential new borrowing between $375 and $700 million. Senate filibuster threats loom over veterans legislation, as Black and Walsh push issues on Muscle Shoals and federal unemployment relief. Reapportionment debates surface, with states opposing or supporting changes based on census data, while time runs short in the session.
