WHAT ELECTIONS COST THE VOTERS?

1t cost the people of North Dakota
close to a quarter of a million dollars
for the three general elections which
they held during the year 1912. that is,
the presidential primary in March, the
state and county primary in June, and
the final election in November, This
takes no account. of course, of various
townships, school and special elections
held during the year. That Is a lot of
money, but there were a lot of votes
cast. The question is not what was the
total cost, but what was the cost per
precinct or per voter, and whether or
not that cost was greater than it should
have been. Figured roughly the cost per
voter of the three elections amounts to
about one dollar per voter, or in the
neighborhood of 80 cents per voter per
election. This. as we understand from
the report that was submitted to
the legislatures includes the cost of
advertising election calls, printing
ballots. expenses of election officials.
distribution of ballots, publication Of
official pamphlets, postage, and all the
items that enter into the work of hold
ing an election.
The figures for Cavalier county do
not include the cost of the presidential
primary held IN March. but show for the
state and county primary in June
sl,6s1,6 so and the general election in
November. $2,277.7O, a total of $685. SO,
1t is estimated that the expense of the
presidential primary IN March was only
about one-tifth as much as the June
primary election. The large western
counties of McHenry and Mountrail
lead all others in the costs of the three
elections of 1912, IN each case the
expense bill footing up to more than
$4,000.

The Milton Globe looking backward
in its Twenty Year Ago" column re.
counts how in 1898 March came in as
bold as a lion. Just like he did this year.
Also incidentally refers back to the in
auguration on March 4th, 1898 of a
democratic president, Grover Cleveland.
Two pretty good signs to go by. The
state legislature of twenty years ago is
noted as having appropriated $4,000 for
Improvements on the capitol building at
Bismarck. This years republican extrav-
agence at the state capital attempted to
leglslate a capital commission appropri-
million dollars for a new state house.

According to a recent decision OF the
supreme court while transient merchants
and itlnerant reddlers of merchandise
must pay peddlers' licenses, a producer
can retail in North Dakota without a
license. A Minnesota farmer can take
into North Dakota a car of potatoes
raised on his W land and sell by the
bushel. or a Montana apple grower can
ship in a car and sell to citizens without
paying a license. The peddlers' license
law has been a difficult matter to enforce
and there has been a great deal of litiga.

court will clarity the situation.
