Quiet South Dakota Legislature Session in Pierre
Very little important legislation passed in Pierre on February 7 as the Senate's appropriation committee proposed a deficiency bill for the rail road commissioners to fund the rate case before the supreme court. House actions included Wilmarth's registration bill and prohibiting telegraph message publication by employees. A $20,000 twine plant appropriation drew from a prior $10,000 unused treasury balance for a potential plant, and a Republican caucus agenda supported expanding railroad and tax enforcement measures. Senator Johnston introduced a redemptions amendment outlining one year redemption terms with interest.
