troversy appealed the case to the
circuit court. About twenty-five
witnesses were taken from this end
of the county to Fort Pierre.
Business was congested at that
term and it was necessary to wait
five days until the case was reach
ed on the docket. Had the county
seat been nearer, the parties and
witnesses could have been notified
by the attorneys the day before
the case was reached, but no one
can corral bunch of witnesses
scattered over the end of the coun-
ty eighty miles away in that fash
ion. The case was tried before a
jury, some of the members of
which had come over a hundred
and twenty miles to attend that
tern of court. The trial lasted
two days, and resulted in a victory
for the "citizen of western Stanley
county" The sheriff made trip
at the time the COW was replevied,
another when the witnesses were
subpoensd and the jury sum-
moned, still another when the cow
was taken from the defendant in
obedience to the judgement and
returned to the plaintiff. These
and other costs were the ordinary
and usual costs provided by statute
in actions of this kind.> They
naturally occur in counties of this
size. In this case those costs and
expenses incident to the trial Of the
case, exclusive of attorneys fees,
amounted to over nine hundred
dollars. Certainly a more force
full argument in favor of county
division could not be adduced.

Once upon a time there was a
citizen of western Stanley county
that owned a milk COW. One day
the animal disappeared, and it was
several weeks before she was fin
ally located. Then the party in
possession claimed the animal as
his own. A COW belonging to him
had wandered away, and he had
not found her for several weeks.
Now, he was certain that he was
holding what rightfully belonged
to him. A COW and calf is only
worth fifty dollars, but naturally
one does not wish to lose property
even to that amount. A replevin
action was commenced in q justice
court, which resulted in . verdict

same manner, and each portion
of such county shall be charged
with and shall pay it's just portion
of said floating debt"
Article two of chapter twelve of
the Political code of 1903 provides
that the governor of the state,
after a division proposition has
carried, shall call a special election
at which the voters shall elect all
the officers provided for in an Or
ganized county, and these officers
thus elected shall hold their res
pective offices until the next gener-
al election thereafter and until
their successors are elected and
qualified.
These are the statutory provi-
sions covering the creation and
organization of new counties. In
the main the language is clear, but,
as is the case with most legislation,
some of the phrases are not free
from doubt.
Much discussion can be heard
these days regarding the form of
the ballot and the manner in which
the individual voter shall exercise
his right of franchise upon the
matter. Evidently the form of the
ballot is left largely to the discre-
tion of the county auditor and the
board of county commissioners.
Likely it could follow the general
scheme of the referendum ballot
used by the state in submitting
various proposed enactments to the
consideration of the voters.
There is also considerable dis
cussion regarding the total vote
required in order to carry pro-
posed division. The language of
the statue is quoted in a proceed
ing paragraph, IF majority of
tho votes cast at the next general
election in such county shall be
fave rable," etc. The courts seem
to have held in other states that
J similar language means a majority
, of the votes cast on the subject of
county division. That would mean
that if four thousand votes were
cast in 4 county upon various
division questions, any one of them
would have to receive two thousand
one votes in order to carry. 1t
must be admitted that there is
ground for the view that a MAORI
ty of the votes cast at the election,
not on county division but upon
governor, for example, will be re-
quired in order that proposition
to divide the county may carry.
There is likely less ground still for
the argument that a majority of
the votes in favor of any one pro-
posed county over the votes that
may be cast against it is the requi
site. The two last mentioned
views are possible but not likely
interpretations of our statute.
In any event, there is always
possibility that there may be con-
troversy regarding the result of
the election. In that case, it is
only possible to submit the whole
matter to the courts in order to
determine what the required vote
actually is, whether any proposed
county has that vote.

The movement to have all the
public lands in the several states
turned over to the states In which
the lands are located is q logical
one and one that ought to have pre-
vailed long ago. When 4 state
ceases to be q territory and becomes
q state it should have control Of all
the territory within the bounds of
that state. The governors and
legislatures of the states are in q
better position to know what is
best to do with the lands located
in the states than the brass-collared
gentry in Washington.-Rapid

Such a suggestion will meet with

ever, subject SO timely in these
days when we are lamentably short

the suggestion wo ild fare if placed
before the people for their sanction
or rejection under the initiative.
