Dakota bills split over relief for South Dakota
Washington reports favor the Hill bill for Dakota relief but press dispatches hint at a favorable Harrison committee report. Public sentiment opposes discriminatory provisions that would strip South Dakota of capital and court powers, while Prohibition gains in Georgia and a local artesian well contract veto in Huron highlight varied political issues. A village fire destroys a library and household goods in an adjacent incident, with estimated losses around $2,000.
