SEVERAL IMPORTANT MEASURES
BECOMES EFFECTIVE SAT.
URDAY, JULY 1
RIGID ANTI-PASS STATUTE
Among News Laws arc Those Previd-
ing for Board Of Control, Regard.
ing Primary Elections and
Corrupt Practices.

Bismarck-A number Of new laws
became effective in this state Satur-
day. July /. Among them is the anti
pass law, the law requiring register
ing of automobiles and the act Great
ing state board Of control along the
lines of the Minnesota law. Under the
terms Of the latter the several local
boards of trustees for the state asy-
ium for the insane, school for feeble
minded, school for the deaf and dumb,
state penitentiary and reform school
were abolished. The single board,
composed Of John Carmody of Hills
boro, Henry Tatley Of Bismarck and
H. Robinson Of Denseith, took over the
control Of the institutions. This board
was organized by the election Of Mr..
Carmody as chairman.
Another board that became effec-
tive July 1 regulates the examination
Of applicants for teachers certificates.
This board recently held a meeting at
Bismarck to organize and prepare for
its active work. Members Of the board

and State Supt. e. J. Taylor. The
state aid for rural and graded schools
law also became effective at that time
and N. G. Mcdonald is the inspector
under it's provisions. having been ap-
pointed some time ago.
Important laws Of political nature
that became effective are those regu.
lating the primary election in the indi-
cation Of choice for presidential can
didates, and in the naming Of the state
committeeman, as we'll as the corrupt
practice act.
In the naming of the state commit
teemen by popular election this being
scheduled for the same time as the
step that is decidedly new. only five
states in the union having adopted the
plan. The several political parties
name their state committeeman at the
polls. One result. it Is claimed, viii
be to keep the members Of a party to
their own ticket, rather than having
them jump their ticket and enter the
domination Of candidates for the op-
posing ticket.
The corrupt practice act is extensive
I'm its provisions and prohibits the CIV
dng of all kinds Of drinks, cigars, ETC..
at election time, being decidedly string
gent in those particulars.
In addition to these several meas
ures are number Of other bills that
became effective July 1, at which time
all measures that did not pass with an
under the constitution.

County Scat Case.

Bowbells.-The next round of the
famous contest between Bowbells and
Ignite for the count seat honors in
Burke county will be had before the
state supreme court, an appeal to that
court from the decision of Judge Tenn
pleton having been taken by the Lig-
mite contingent, who were worsted In
the first legal battle.
In the election while Ignite had a
majority of all the votes cast In the
county, it so happened that the pre-
cincts casting the largest majorities
were declared illegal. the polling
places not having been regularly es-
tablished. Ignite sought to compel
the board Of canvassers to count these
ballots. but Judge Templeton upheld
the boards action in declaring these
votes illegal.

portioned. The task Is no small one
and the final adjudication is made by
the courts but in this instance 1t is
believed settlement will be reached
by the boards of commissioners and a
big expense to the taxpayers saved. All
buildings belonging to the county must
be appraised and their value divided.
It is understood that Divide county de-
sires an appraisement Of roads and
bridges and this is likely to make a
big controversy.

children upset pail of paint which
was standing on a burning oil stove
and this started the fire. The mother
was out and did not arrive in time to
save the child.
