Pierre.-Only four applicants for
veterinary license showed up at the
examination held by the live stock

year, and the general attitude Of the

such examinations and license as pro-

BONUS TO AUDITORS

What 10 Going on Here and There
That 10 Of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout South d.
kota and Vicinity.

Plerre.-The change III the manner
Of assessment in this state gives
ty auditors in some OF the western
counties a nice little financial boost.
The state law provides that where I'M
organized counties are attached to or
ganized counties for judicial purposes,
the auditor of the organized county
shall receive one-half Of one mill of
the state tax levied against the unor-
ganiZed territory as his compensation
for the keeping of the records of the
unorganiZed county, such as spreading
the tax records and any other matters
pertaining to such unorganized terri
tory.
Under the old system. with valua-
ions at about o%ne-fourth, actual value,
and a state levy generally of four
mills the auditor received no great
amount of compensation for this
service. But with the valuation in
creased practically four times, the
one-half mill amounts to something,
and the county auditor of Lyman coun-
ty will receive nearly six hundred dol
lars for the same work this year,
which last year brought him about one
hundred fifty dollars. Auditors of all
other counties who look after unor-
ganized territory will reap a reward in
like mount, but none of them show
up the valuation of Todd county,
which is attached to Lyman. Another
feature is that under the old four mill
levy proposition, only a small share of
the tax collected from these unor-
ganized counties went to the county
auditor looking after their records, but
under the new plan, just half the levy
of n mill goes for that purpose.

the governor has made on the subject:
"Californians are unable to under

treaty of the nation. nor to do more
tan has been done by the federal gov
ernment itself and many other states.
ITO say that California must do less
or be subjected to harsh criticism and
the charge of disrupting friendly rela-
tions with foreign powers is to deny
to California what has been freely ac-
corded to every other state in the
union and what has never been ques-
toned with any other state.
Our legislature is now considering
an alien land bill in general language
and not discriminatory. If terms are

inatory. those very terms long since
We're made so by many enactments and

Broadly speaking. many states have
endeavored to prevent the ownership
of land by those ineligible to citizen

conceded, but Immediately upon the ex-
