BEWILDERING PRODUCT

Another bewildering product of the
last legislative session has been submit
ted to the ingenuity of the attorney
general. This is an enactment that
attempts to provide for the compensa-
tion of commissioners in certain class
of commission governed cities. 1t pro-
vides that in cities not exceeding $500
in population the salaries of commits
sioners shall be 81, 900 and Of mayors
$4,000 per annum and then goes on to
say that in cities having not over $500
population the salaries Of commission
ers shall be s4oo and Of mayors 5000 per
per annum. The attorney general is,
called upon to decide how much COM
pensation the officials of cities in the
$500 class are entitled to. The age Of
Ann was much easier.

PROSPEROUS TIMES AHEAD

All outward appearances just now
point to prosperous year just ahead
of us--prosperous not only to Alexand-
ria and Hanson county, but to the state
at large. There are nossure signs-in-
fallible signs along this line, but as
this is an agricultural state, conditions
which tend to promise an abundant har-
vest Of the various products of the farm
are likewise encouraging to the BUSH
ness men and to the farmer.
For two years past drouths have
seriously afsc fsd some parts of South
Dakota, the crop yield being over
large area, and practically nothing in
some portions OF the state. However,
with the copious and general rains Of
last fall, and q goodly amount Of snow
on the ground this winter, spirit Of
optimism is in. evidence among the
farmers, and this optimistic feeling has
spread to the men OF business. 1t u
the general sentiment that the coming
year is to be ons OF general prosperity,
and various signs in the business W orld
Indicate that there will be decided ac-
tivity in all lines.

ERROR IN COMMISSION LAW

The attorney general holds that
the conflicting provisions in the law
fixing salaries for city commission
ers is SO evidently error on the part
of some one who had control of the
clerical work on the bill, that it is to
be construed in the light Of common
sense, and the error to be disregard
ed. The intent of the law was so
evident to make a difference in the
salaries of commissioners in towns
under $500 population and those over
that number, that its provisions und-
er such construction are the ones to
apply, which would give the commits
sioners in towns of less than that
population the lower salary. While
the courts might or might not look at
the law in the same manner, that is
the holding of the department until
there is action by the the courts.

This is a condition that has never

TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS

The first teachers examination this
year will be held March 14-15. Teach
ers holding third grade certificates,
high school pupils and others should
write this examination, secure
second grade certificate and thus be
in position to engage school early
for next year. This will put them in
a position to know what to do next
summer. Those who fail should go
to summer school and prepare to take
July examination in the subjects in
which they stand below the average
required for the certificate desired. 1T
should be strictly understood that
those teaching on their second or
third grade certificates must be sup
piled with at least second grade for
next year if they expect to continue
teaching. There is no reason why
the teacher who is progressive should
not be able to secure second grade
certificate after having taught for
two years if the proper course is TAX
