A New Lease Law.

The lease books from the various
counties of the state are in the state
land department, and show that there
has been little difference in the leas-
ing prices for this year and last year.
While in individual leases the lease
price was run up pretty we'll, the gen.
eral average was about the same, re-
sardless of the higher prices secured
on sales This is caused no doubt by
the fact that the department made
only one-year leases this season. This
IN account of the new law providing

Need Not Pay Extra Tax.

''SSN w. oy A-NSi q j an.
Complaint has been made of the fact
that county treasurers over the state
are charging an additional 81 payment
of taxes of non-residents, and the at
torney general has been asked for an
opinion upon the situation. He holds
just as did Attorney General Clark.
that there is no warrant of law for
county treasurers making such a
charge. The session of 1887 provided
for such collection, but at the time of
the complaint of the laws in 1903. the
right to make this charge was cut from
the law, and as the legislature adopted
the complication, that right no longer
exists as a statutory provision, and it
is held to be an unwarranted charge.
Normal Heads Confer.
Presidents Nash OF Aberdeen nor
NAL, Cook of Spearfish normal, Heston
of Madison normal, and Wenzlaff of
Springfield normal, all state schools,
were in conference with State Super.
intendent Lawrence over the course
of study to be adopted for these
schools. 1t is the idea to embrace in
the course of study those lines which
will be acceptable to the state super
intendent so that certificates can be
granted with the teacher taking the
usual examination, the graduating di-
ploma of the teacher being sufficient
for her to enter work This will place
the normals on a higher grade and
will be a greater inducement for stu
dents to take up the work of teach
ing.
