Secretary of State James b Pearce.
after compiling and arranging for
publication the various bills and con-
stitutional amendments, passed by
the last legislature, found among the
bills, vetoed by the governor, house
bill No. 10, which was constitu-
tional amendment and had reference
to the fee system of paying salaries.
He submitted the question to the
attorney general, as to the right of
the governor to veto constitutional
amendment and received the follow
ing opinion: 'In vetoing house bill
No. 10. the constitutional amendment
in question, the governor assumed to
exercise an authority which he does
not posses. His action therein is
mere nullity and in no wise affects
your duty as Secretary of State to
submit the proposed amendment to
the electorate of the state at the next
ensuing election in the manner re-
quired by the bill and the constitu-
tion.-Golden Transcript.

County superintendent.
AZ the State Convention of County
superintendent Last Week Sew.
erat Recommendations were
Made.

At the convention of the county
superlntendents of South Dakota
held in Aberdeen last week. i'm
portant recommendations con-
corning changes in the existing
school laws We're made. They
include the endorsement of bill
introduced at the 1911 session of
the state legislature, permitting
county superintendent to con-
duct agricultural and other in
dustrlal contests, anl to provide
Tor the payment Of the expenses
of such contests to the amount of
$4,000 by the county in which
they are held. Another recon-
mendation is that county normal
institutes may be held in any
period of the year from April l
to December |. An amendment
to the constitution is urged, re-
moving the time limit from the
the office of county superinten
dent.
A law providing for travel ex-
p9nses of county superinten-
dents when on official duty, is
also recommended, as is annual
state aid to the amount of $50 a,
year for three years to one GROOM
rural schools which employ a
teacher with a state certificate or
a first grade certificate, nine
months term, and equipped with
a heating and ventilating plant,
library and a building in sanitary
repair. The convention recon-
mended minimum school term
OF seven months, and state aid
for the distcict which would be
unable otherwise to maintain a
seven months school. They also
recommend that the principal of
a rural consolidated school must
be the holder of state certificate
and the school must maintain q
course in agriculture and pro-
vide five acre demonstration
plot in order to secure the state
aid. They estimated the appro-
priation required to carry out the
plan would be $36, 900 for the first
year and $3.50 the second.

GOOD FARMING.
A Valuable Talk on Dairying and
Diversified Farming by Prof. Lar
son and State Dairyman Ryger

Last Saturday afternoon in
tereSted farmers were given a
most profitable and instructive
two hours talk on the advlSabillty
and necessity Of making dairying
a part of the farm work. Prof.
Larson stated that the necessity
for keeping stock on the farm was
two fold. First that the products
should be condensed and made
into the highest value possible
before leaving the farm; and
second that the returns to the
land in the form of fertilizers
should be adequate to keep the
land from becoming depleted Of
its productive qualities, He cited
Denmark as a notable example
Of what a system Of intelligent
dairying would do for country,
and stated that the dairying and
productive qualities Of Denmark

OPERATIONS OF THE CHINESE
Flood Of Light Thrown on co-opera-
tlon az Worked by ceIestials In
California.

The farming operations of the Chi
nese in California are a marvel OF CO.
operation. One Of the most illuminat-
Ing articles We have ever seen on
this subject is in the Saturday Eve
ming Post. 1t throws flood of
light upon the way that cooperation is
managed. 1t has been the dream of
agricultural writers for years, to i'm
press the American farmer with the
conviction that he ought to cooperate
with his neighbors more than he does;
that farmers should seriously unite to
study how they can cooperate with
each other in the conduct of their
farming operations.
The writer OF the article In the Post
says the reason American farmers do
not cooperate more Is "tempera.
mental one. BY that we suppose he
means that the mental makeup OF our
farmers is lacking in the possession OF
the true-co-operative spirit to start
with. There is a serious lack of the
disposition to cooperate. Further, for
more than a hundred years the politi-
clans of this country have dinned 1t in
to the ears Of US farmers, that we are
the most independent set Of people on
earth.
The result is that they have got
US to believing this fallacy very greatly

crude. half barbaric way. The truth is
we are the most weak. helpless portion
OF society, getting the least for our
time and money out of the general
division OF profits. Economists are
united in the statement that the farm.
er gets only about IS cents out OF every
dollar that the consumer finally pays
for his product. That shows how inde-'
pendent We are. The closing para.
graph OF the article in the Post is as
follows:

Since the soil is the greaest source of
wealth In the world. 1t was evidently

concerned.
