Regular biennial efforts to sqdelch the “salary grab” issue in* South Dakota apparently are not going to be apy more successful in the present campaign than in the two previous campaigns. The following letter from a well-known South Dakotan is one of several signifi cant indicators: "The voters or South Dakota, in the last two elections, have dis played Intense Interest in the Sal ary grab, issue—more interest, in fact, than on any other issue , presented. That question is not closed so long as therq Sre candidates for office ih this state who had a part in violating the language and spirit of the state constitution merely for the sake,, of petty personal benefits. It is no expuSe for these officials or ex-officials to argue that they were underpaid. They did not take or hold the jobs. We con not ask our citizens to respect the laws and the constitution and at the same time bestow political rewards on' men who flagrantly violated the constitution. There is no question about the temper of the voters on this point. They only need to be shown where to strike. Name the candidates.” Without aspiring to lead or en thuse uny Indignant hosts, it may be said that _ records are records. Those who made tl^e records no doubt did so advisedly and pre sumably are willing to "defend them against all challengers. Most of the legislators who supported the original “salary grab” measures have been retired by loving constituents. During the unsuccessful attempt to repeal some of thetspeci*l “expense” allowances, 1b the Inst session, a great deal t>f art was employed In avoiding record votes. Practically all of the republican ' house mem bers, however, voted to restore the legislative “expense” allowance In the general appropriation bill after that allowance had been stricken by the senate. If there was one exception Is cannot now be called to mind. The democrats and non partisan leaguers of the house voted to sustain the senate action. As to some of the major candi dates the records will show: Carl H. Gunderson, as a member of the state senate voted tor - one of the “salary grab" measures. W. H. McMaster voted for one, as a mem ber of the state senate, and allow ed another to become law without his signature since he became gov ernor. Only two members of the present state supreme court were members of that body when the first special expense allowances were made—the first of the vari ous special measures along that Mae. The two hold-overs are Judg es Policy and Oates, both candidates for reelect ton next year. The elec tion of Judge C. H. Dillon over Judge E. G. Smith last year is gen erally credited to that issue. Whose Money? Says Buell. Under a ruling by Attorney Gen eral Buell Jones, the ^Santa Claus” tendencies of the state board of regents (with the state’s money) has been given a rude jolt. The at torney general holds that the board had no right to vote a year’s salary to Dr. Willis Johnson, applying af ter Dr. Johnson’s enforced resigna tion from the presidency of State college at Brookings. When he first learned that his educational scalp had been promised to one of the leading politicians of the state, and that certain members of the board of regentB had been notified that they must deliver on the aforesaid promise, Dr. Johnson was In the mood to kick up a fuss and resist the action. Then he was informed that he would be given a years’B leave of absence on full pay if he would accept the situa tion quietly. He decided that ho would be ousted, anyway, and might as well “resign voluntarily” and take the bonus. The board gave out laudatory resolutions about his valuable services to the state aad everything was lovely. Considerable state offense was He Knew. From the Virginia Reel.

She says, how ever, that she Intends making a gift to the organisation. aroused by the attempt of tha board of regents to "George Creel" tha general public In this case. If Dr. Johnson’s services had been as highly satisfying as implied in tha board's resolutions, then the board \0&s clearly wrong in crowding him out of the position. If his services were not satisfactory, on the other hand, the board was wrong in try ing to deceive the public about it. It was a record of rank inconsist* ency, from one angle. Attorney General Jones does not seem to cater very strongly to po litical exigencies. His nomination came about in December, 1921. through a surprise flash of insur gency at the state proposal meet . ing. State Auditor Jones (not re lated to Buell) also wasn’t on the slate. Auditor Jones held up Dr. Johnson’s September warrant antf secured a ruling on the sub ject. The two Joneses up at Pierre are worth keeping in mind. 8y«tem Not Whole Thing. If the Gate City Guii » may be accepted as authority, thj city man ager system at Rapid City has not been a howling success.

The city commission should be free te ap prove or disapprove according to the merits of each situation. The Guide declares that general affairs In the city have not received as much attention under xhe city manager system as before. Com-i plaints from all parts of the city’' have gone unheeded, it says, and the city manager gave approval to | work which members of the com-| mission, on their own investigation, i found to be faulty. It’s clear 'enough, anyway, that systems alone will not alleviate city woes. The ability, dUllgence and honesty of officials are factors which count uuder any system. Old Tun**.
