AN EXPENSIVE AFFAIR

The primary election June 4th
was an expensive affair. 1t cost
the counties, the campaign COM
mittees, not less than half mil
lion dollars, and for what! The
nomination of state and county
tickets, the election of delegates
to the national and state conven-
tons. Under the old caucus sys-
TEN this amount would not have
exceeded $4,000. and the result
would have been just as good and
we are inclined to think some
what better. OF course the pri-
mary system is fastened upon the
state, fastened upon us in the
name of reform and progress, but
to any fair minded observer it is
a system that does not reform ant
system that does not progress
1t is an expensive, crude way Of
achieving nominations and under
it men masquerade as reformers
and succeed as candidates who
would have no show under the
honest caucus law which the
primary repealed. We are a.
ware that it is useless to argue
against the primary system, but
it can do no harm between acts
to speak plain truths about it.

SCHOOL FUND
Land Department Sends June Ap-
portionment to the Several Coun-
ties of the State

Pierre, s. D. June 2O.-The
state land department has sent
out the June apportionment Of tn
school fund, to the different coun
ties over the state. the total u
mount going out being 1851 ,524
AS common school apportiOnment.
This is at the rate Of 1892 for
each pupil Of the public schools
of the state, and is 40 cents for
each pupil in excess Of any other
June apportionment made. This
heavy apportiOnment for June is
largely Oh account Of the chang
es in the manner Of fixing lease
valuations ON lands Of the state,
and which has run the lease re-
ceipts to a higher figure than
for former years. The agricultu-
raj leases have not come up to
the expectation of the promoters
of that plan of handling state
lands. The total receipts for this
year from agricultural leases only
amounting to $17,63O.
In addition to the common
school apportionment, the depart
ment will also send out an ap-
portionment of $l8,398 to the diff
ferent endowed educational in
stitutiOns of the state. The
amount of 1862, ,O33 of perman-
ent school will be supplied to the
counties which are waiting for
this fund for loaning purposes.

1t is pointed out that many Of the
accidents resulting in fatalities might
have been averted by the exercise OF
proper precaution or the employment
of suitable devices and good equip

year, 1877 were caused by defects OF
roadway and 3,S47 were due to defec
tive equipment. This indicates an In
crease over the previous year Of 652
in the derailments due to bad roadway
and 1923 due to bad equipment.
