more or less inexplicable differences
in the primary election expenses of
the different counties have been dis
closed by the accounts filed with the
executive council and work on audit
ing which was begun yesterday.
Winnebago, of the eighty-four coun-
ties whose expenses have been filed,

spent the most. S3,629. Folks exr
penses, however will overtop those
of Pottawattamie about $500.
Mahaska county reported a total ex-
pense of $2,S79, including 1850 for Civ
ing publicity to the ballot, and 1897
for judges and clerks of election. The
remainder of the total was expended
for printing ballots and for the neces-
sary election books and incidentals.
Buchanan county expended less for
the publication of the notices of cleo
ton than any other, only $50. The
highest sum expended for publication
of notices was in Monroe county, ST.

members OF the boards of supervisors,
acting on canvassing board. This
item 1t was decided. some time ago
to cut out bodily. 1t was decided
that no pay would be allowed for any
official duty REQUIRED by the law uo
be performed. gnder this rule the
expenses for extra clerk hire by the
auditor and the board will not be
allowed. s..
1t has also been decided by the
canvassing board not to raise any OF
the bills rendered. If figuring them
over, it is disclosed that errors
against the counties have been made
the council will feel indisposed to in.
crease the billsIaIt may be said that
few such errors have been found.
One item of miscellaneous expense
filed by many of the counties was the
cost of publication of the result OF
the primary election in the official
proceedings OF the board. Jackson
county put in an item of $649.50 for
this expense. 1t is not known wheth.
er the council will allow that sort of
thing or not.
Jackson county's bill for miscel.
laneous expense was the largest in
the eighty-four, $S45. Several coun.
ties, among them Cerro Gordo, Frank.

laneous expense. Lucas put in a bill
of $40. Delaware charged 1926 to this
account and Decatur ISL and Des
