THAT PRIMARY LAW

More Interpretation of The Richards Law By
Attorney General Johnson.
Pierre, 8. D.. Aug. 22.-Attorney
General johnson has given out an off,
cial opinion Interpreting several more
sections OF the new primary law. in
response to inquiries made by county
officials
One question submitted is:
"Is county liable for any reasons
BILE expenditure to secure enrolment
of electors under sec. "a, chapter 20,
laws of l9ll." To this the reply is made
that the county ia liable for the ex-
pense Of securing enrollment. books
and supplies, but not for mileage and
per diem for any officer making the en-.
rollment.
Another question submitted ia:
"ls there any reasonable service. as
duty, required Of any township clerk
to secure full enrolment provided
for under SEQ. %. for which the county
is liable" In reply the attorney gen.
ersl says that section % makes it the
duty OF clerks to enroll in an enroll.
ment book any person making applioa.
tion for such enrolment, end it is the
duty Of the clerk to keep such enroll.
ment books at some accessible place
during reasonable time, but III am
firmly of the opinion that no provision
is made for per diem or mileage for
such clerks or for the county auditor
for the extra duties imposed upon him
by the act"
Further he says "It is an elementary
principle Of law that the legislature
can add to the duties to be performed
by any public officer without incress
ing their compensation and 1t is such
All elementary principle that shall not
cite authorities. 1t might be contend.
ed that chapter $50 of the laws of 1907
! authorizes the syment TO the town
clerk Of $3.50 per day for securing such
enrolment, but this contention Is not
tenable because the compensation pro.
vided for by said chapter $50 is for
services rendered the township and ia
be paid out Of the township treasury.
The duty imposed on the clerks of the
new primary law is performed for the
county and no provision is made fol
any per diem for township clerks when
performing work for the county"

OF BALL SUNDAY.

The ball game at the local park Sun

than the regulation nine had not
Auditor Bachelor, who was Ty Cob
bling it in the field and on the bases,
attempted to steal second and then
third with two gone in the ninth. This
was too much for the Blue Ribbon
aggregation and they threw him out
when one score would have tied up the
game for the third time. Only for the
fact that Dave is demon on the bases
and takes more chances than most
professionals his team mates would
have given him the regulation yell for
the play but they considered it merely
one OF the tricks of fortune and all &C.
cepted the defeat as q matter of course

made holler like coyote that had
his foot pinched in trap. "Dago" is
