COUNTIES ASKING FOR REFUND

Refunds of many thousands of dol
lars from most of the organized coun.
ties in the western part of the state
will be demanded if the contention of
the residents of unorgapized counties
Is sustained by the courts. The Gus
tom under the law is for organized
counties to collect taxes IN unorgan-
lied counties which are attached to
the organized districts for that pur-
pose, the intent of such collections
being to pay any court or other neces-
sary costs of regulations in the unor-
ganized counties. The fight is on the
claim that such collections are in
valid, and cannot be enforced. If
this contention is correct the taxes
collected for years were without au.
thority, and a suit for rebate would
mean long legal fight. as the rebates
would run into many thousands of
dollars, which the counties collecting
would not pay until compelled to.

THE CIRCLE IS MISSING

Dakota Republican,: Those who have
been in the habit of voting the straight
ticket by placing cross in the circle at
the head of their party ticket will be
disappointed in this state next Novem-
Der when they go to vote, and to their
dismay they will find the circle at the
head of the ticket missing. The last
legislature amended the state election
law by taking the circle from the head
of the ticket. Tovo straight ticket
at the coming election it will be necs-
sary for the voter to make cross in
front of each name on the ticket. Many
voters are not aware of this and it may
be interesting information to them.

ALFALFA AND CLOVER
SOWN ON BIG RANCH

On the Steele & Gowdy ranch on
the old Fort Sully reserve, 1875 acres
have been seeded to white sweet
clover this spring, which is on the
high upland, and lao acres of alfalfa
on the river bottom land. Besides
this the managers of the ranch have
secured permission from the state
land department to sow another 100
tacre tract-to alfalfa, but this will be
put in corn, cane and other crops
this year, and the alfalfa seeded next
year. The sweet clover is expected
to grow out on the high prairie as it
makes good showing where it starts
as volunteer crop, while the river
lands are known from tests to be the
very best of alfalfa lands.

Milbank Review: The figures we
published two weeks ago in regard to
South Dakota's corn crop were sur
prise to many of our readers and
that being the case it is little wonder
that people of other states are slow
to recognize South Dakota as a great
corn raising state.
Do not forget that according to the
1909 report of the Department of Ag-
riculture. Washington, d. c., South
Dakota ranks higher as regards the
yield of corn per acre than did Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas or Missouri. The
only one of the great corn raising
states with higher average was
Illinois.

NEW PRIMARY LAW PROPOSED


AS the policy of the primary cleo
tlon is to be one of the features of
the season campaign in South Dakota,
those interested in this doctrine are
beginning to get busy, either In sup
port ofthe present policy. known as
the Richards act, or of the substitute
proposed in the new act which was
initiated by the democrats at the last
legislative session. These two acts
are radically different in their work.
ings, but the new act leaves out the
party registration feature, which is
one of the leading parts of the present
one. But the discussion is not appar-
emily to be confined to merely these
two propositions, several others being
in process of incubation, one already
getting into the open, which attempts
to slide between the old caucus sys-
tenn and the primary idea. Its author
is j. M. Miles of Redfield, and his
plan in summary is that on specific
date the voters shall meet in their
various precincts, and vote by ballot
on their choice for a list of delegates
to county convention, the votes to
be cast in ballot box and canvassed
as at any other election. The dele
gates so selected meet at the county
seats of their various counties on
set date, at which meeting ballot
boxes with judges and clerks in
charge are to be provided, in which
boxes the delegates shall by secret
ballot select their candidates for
county official places, and list OF
delegates to the state convention.
which is to meet at the state capital
on fixed date. at which ballot boxes
are to be provided and ballots receiv.
ed for the whole of that day for the
selection of state official party candi-
dates. This the author claims would
eliminate q great deal Of the objec..
tions to the present primary act, and
would simplify action Of all parties
in selecting candidates, and yet
would, Though the ballot box sys-
tenn, give every delegate an oppor-
tunity to voice his opinion without
any possibility of = charge Of pres
sure or influence.
One feature of the proposed .pnll
moose" movement which will have
to be considered. is their manner OF
getting showing. They did not get
in under the proposal features of the
primary law, and the general law pro-
yides only for independent candidates
outside the regular party nominations
just how they will locate themselves
is the open question. The only act
which ever has attempted to author
ize new party organization in this
state since early days of statehood, is
the new primary act, which will have
to be voted for at the November cleo
ton. this giving any party . legal
standing either through vote of 10
per cent of the total number cast for
governor at the last preceding elec-
ton, or by petition of 10 per cent Of
the voters of the state.
