Pierre, S. D., Jan. 8.—There is
much interest with regard to what
action will be*taken 'by the new .leg-
islature in South Dakota under, the
enlarged powers granted to • that
body in the November election. At
that time alT of the so-called public
ownership amendments to the state
constitution, five in number, were
passed, by substantial majorities. It
now remains fort th'64 legislature* to
enact the necessary- legislation to
carry out the will of the people as so
expressed. , ♦
lender trffe amendments the state
may: purchase, develop and operate
plants for the development of water
power; engage in the manufacture of
oement and; Cement products tof the
people of the state? provide for state
hail insurancp; .engage )n the mining
and distribution of coal; purchase,
construct and operate elevators and
warehouses within or without the
t
state; and buy or construct flour

mills and packing houses within the
state. .

a potent influence in securing the

lature is overwhelmingly republican
in both branches, and there seems to
s'
be considerable diversity of opinion
as to what action may be taken.
The state . constitution provides
that no money shall i>§ appropriated
for the purposes enumerated except
upon a two-thirds vote, of the mem-
bers in * each branch of the Jegisla-

- Lenins, the bclaUoviki premier of
Russia has been arrested at the
command of Leon Trotzky, mini*,
ter of war, who has made himself
dictator, according' to a Moscow
dispatch.
Trctzky was prompted to make the
arrest because of the difference of
opinion concerning bolsheviki reforms.
Lenine wanted a coalition with the
Menshiviki or the moderates, while
Trotsky wished to continue the'reign
of red terror.

Champagne Fighting

American plan for a league of nations

follows the working organization in
a small country snch as Belgium or

Lieutenant Oliver C. Aldrich of
Crockett, well-known to many Pales-
tine people, spent this morning here.
Lieutenant Aldrich is just recovering
from gas poisoning. He was gassed
with many others in* the Champagne
fighting. He said that he Is alive to-
day is due to the fact that he did not
get as big "a dose as some of the oth-
er boys who succumbed. Aldrich re-
lates some thrilling experiences. He
says, though, he counts nimself for-
tunate, *when he sees so many others
mius ariSis, legs, eyes, etc.
With Lieutenant Aldrich were Lieu-
tenant Howard Patrick, Lieutenant C.
V. Flannagan,' going to Ellington
Field and others. The men seemed
to enjoy their sojourn here, had din-
ner at the canteen, and went south on
the Sunshine trtrin, bragging about the
service of the canteen.
