In answer to numerous inquiries,

In answer to numerous inquiries,
the Acantha will say that IN our
opinion Teton county will elect a
new board of county commission ers
at this falls election. That opin-
ion IS based on the following.
Article 16, Sec. 4, of the constitu-
ton of the state of Montana pro-
vides that "three commissioners
shall be elected whose term of Office
shall be four years." In October,
1889, an election was held, at
which time commissioners YER
chosen in the various counties. In
November of that year the terri>
tory was admitted as a state, and
the terms of office for the persons
elected in October began with the
states admission. If the term was
for fou: years these first commiss-
lovers would have held Office until
November 8, 1898, in which year
no election was held. Therefore
at the regular election in 1892
commissioners were elected whose
term of office expires in 1896, and
it was undoubtedly the intention
of the trainers of the constitution
for the term of Office to date from
the general election of that year.
And in counties where the terms
are different, these officers are
simply filling vacancies. In the
meantime Teton county was
created, and to fill the vacancies SO
caused the Legislature named three
men for commissioners. Their
term expired in 1894 and the elect
ors of this county, to fill the vac
ancies still existing, elected our
present board. If our opinion is
correct it is welcome news to the
taxpayers of the county, as they
have had moro than enough of thi<
incOmpetent board,
