VOTERS OBSTINATE
Registration Officials Say They
Refuse to Register

Sioux Falls, Oct. 1.-THE county
commissioners of Minnehaha county
recently adopted a motion to the
effect that they would pay a sliding
scale of compensation to all city or
township clerks who would ecure the
reg istering of 80 per CEN of the voters
in their jurisdiction. 1t is feared that
the plan adopted by the commissioners
will be given a setback by a situation
which confronts James Riddington city
clerk of Dell Rapids. and which may
also exist elsewhere. City Clerk Red
dington in a letter to the county audi
tor states that he will make no effort
whatever to secure the registering of
voters in his city. He gives as a rea-
son that the only way he could re-
ceivo any compensation for his servic-
es would be by securing the names
Of 80 per cent of the voters Of the city.
He points out that to accomplish this
is an impossibility, as already more
than so per cent Of the voters of Dell
Rapids have fatty refused to register.
Whether city and township clerks in
other sctions have a similar condition
confronting them has not yet been re
ported. just why voters should re-
fuse TO register is a mystery, as they
cannot participate in the coming party
primaries unless they register.

EASY MONEY
West State County Auditors
Will Receive Extra
Fees

Pierre, Oct. 1.-THE change in the
manner of assessment in this state
gives county auditors in some of the
western counties a nice little financial
boost. The state law provides that
where unorganized counties are at
tached to organized counties for ju-
dicial purposes, the auditor Of the
organized county shall receive one half
Of one mill Of the state tax levied
against the n~nerganized territory as
mis- compensation for the keeping of
the records of the unorganized county,
such rs spreading the tax records and
any other matters pertaining to such
u~norganized territory.
Under the old system with valua.
tions at out M -fourth actual value.
and q state levy generally Of four
mills, the auditor received no great
amount of compensation for this ser
vice. But with the valuation increased
practically four times, the one-hali
mill amounts to something. and the
county auditor Of Lyman county will
receive nearly $500 for the same work
this wear which last year brought
him about $50. Auditors of all other
counties who look after unorganized
territory will reap q reward in like
amount. but none OF them show NJ
the valuation If Todd county, which
Is attached to Lyman. Another fea.
ture 10 that under the old four mil

of the tax collected from these I'M.
organized counties went to thu county,
