STATE SUPREME 20 SEo1pEs
s,rrr ,'ss'zs'or .r
SIS VALID

Bismarck, N. D., April 9.-In de-
cision handed down last evening the
Supreme court of the state upholds
the law passed by the last legis-
lature which makes It duty of the
assessors to ascertain the political
party affiliation of each person as
sessed with the idea of making this
a registration for the voter at the
June primaries.
The assessor will be empowered to
take the oath of the party assessed.
He must swear to his party whet her
he is Republican, Democrat, Social
list or whatever his political faith may
be.
This is intended to keep members
of any party within their own party
lines during the primary election.
The test was made to establish the
validity of the law before assessors
were given their Instructions.
The Law
The law just found constitutional
by the supreme court regarding party
registration by the assessors says:
"a party registration Of the voters
! in their respective political parties
shall be taken in each precinct of this
state in the following manner: In
the months Of April and May of each
even numbered year in which pri-
mary election is held, the assessor of
each district shall at the time, he
makes his assessment of the real and
personal property, take dowc in an
enrolment book the name of each
voter in his district, grouping alpha
betically and according to the pre-
asinct st 6seh se. ass ss;,s... ].
And also have each voter sign and
swear to before the assessor or no.
tary as the case may be a regiSra-
: ton blank ''A'' which shall; be in the
following FORM"
The law further states that the as
SCISSOR must complete this work on or
before thirty days proceeding such
primary election and shall receive
as compensation ten cents for the
entry of the name of each party vot-
er in addition to: his regular salary"
''Any party" says the law, "who is
unavoidably absent from the assess
or's district during the time. of TAX
ing the party registration may go be-
fore any notary public and sign and
verify a registration blank and mail
the same to the auditor of his coun-
ty."

Commissioner Valentine failed to
include the Bismarck school in the

sition to the school, altho he had
previously assured Representative
Helgesen he would not oppose it ii

Minot, N. D., April S.-The Ber.
thold Indian reservation will be op.
.ened for settlement on May 4, and
all filings must be made at Minot.
This is the result of a conference
between Judge James w. Witten OF
Washington, D. C.,and the local land
office officials held in Minot. Judge
Witten who spent only few hours
in Minot wired Washington recon-
mending that the date of the opening
be fixed at May 4.
This will mean that 1000 people
will come to Minot to file on land.
Under a recent order issued at the
general land office at Washington,
the entire reservation on which I'LL
'ings will be made has been placed
in the Minot district. This means
that all filings will be made at this
point. The change was made owing
to the fact that Minot is a more con-
venient point to reach than the other
cities and it will simplify matters to
have all the filings made at one Of
flee.
Register DISCARD has not received
a copy of the appraisal Of the lands
yet, but he says that the land has
been appraised from $50 to Sc an
acre, and under the rules of the gov
,ernment one-fifth of this must be
'paid in cash at the time Of filing.
The filing will begin on May 4,
when fifty people will be allowed to
file. Fifty applicants will be receiv-
ed day until all the claims, which
number over 1000, are gone.
