come within my observation. The nrst
trim made in the fall of 1913 included
the C. & N. w. lines in the central
and western parts of the state. Dairy
ing the silo and alfalfa with koaliang
west of the river were the topics dis
cussed. Supt. Dickinson reports that
the receipts from cream shipments OF
1914 showed an increase of 90 per
cent. over 1913. The silo has entered
many of the communities since that
time, and alfalfa acreage has increas-
ed to a surprising extent. The agron-
omv department of the State College
has a record of 5000 acres planted
last year to kaoliang which was an In
known plant before that time.
THE superintendent OF the Mil
waukee (since the train was run in
the spring of 1910 have e e evidence
of the safer mixed or dairy farming
which seems to have been started by
this gospel, so they inform US, while
comfort and bank deposits in the new
section have increased accordingly.
zone especially significant thing is
the relative prices of cream as found
by the secretary of the State Dairy
mans Association. Towns which had
no local creamery showed q cents for
butter fat, on the same day local
creameries in towns with no possible
marketing advantage were paying %
cents. When South Dakota gets so
our towns can trade one elevator for a
creamery and another for corr cribs
and larger stockyards our state will
come more largely into its own.
Most of the latest trip of the dairy
train has been through the older set
tied section of the state and probably
the most prosperous part of the Unit
ed States. 1t was noticeable that the
farmers here were not so eager to
learn as in the new sections formerly
visited, where farming has not made
the farmers wealthy and the road to
success has yet to be explored. Safety
first in South Dakota farming will
mean corr and alfalfa with livestock
and the dairy trains have tried to
teach"

ANNOUNCED EMIT

I wish to nou to the voters OF
the CITY of Brookings that l am a can
didate for the office of City Treasurer,
subject to their approval at the CITY
Election to be held in the different
wards next Tuesday, April goth.
My entry into the race is u solely
to the urging of numerous taxpayers
who feel that there is need of a change
in the City Treasurer's office and a
revision in the methods Of doing busl-
ness.
The present incumbent has been
Treasurer of the City of Brookings for
twelve years and in that time has not
placed one dollar of the city money at
interest, except when so ordered by
the Mayor and City Council where
there was an unusually large accumu-
lation in some particular fund. AS
shown by the last report of February
9th, there was a balance on hand OF
S13,434.83, which is a fair average OF
the balance lying idle throughout the
year. This money was lying idle and
the city was not getting n cent OF
interest on it. This amount of money
if placed at a nominal rate of interest
would bring to the city more than
enough to pay the Treasurer's yearly
eo1ory of S1OO M
If | am elected l will see that the
City receives interest on daily bal
ances for every cent of idle money in
the Treasury and l further promise to
let the City money by competitive bids
to the local banks, subject to the ap-
prevail of the Mayor and Council. The
State of South Dakota and the County
of Brookings receive interest on their
idle money, why shouldn't the City
of Brookings pursue the same business
like methods?
H. B. Mathews, nominee for Mayor,
who is a close student of municipal
affairs, said in his recent excellent
paper on the municipal plants of
Bookings: Interest should be Sc
cured on balance in funds either by

SPRING CLEANUP

l hope the spring cleanup will be
rapid and very thorough. A general
inspection of the city will soon be
made and a special man and team be
employed at the expense of properties
benefited. Any failures will be re-
ported to this Office by special Civic
League committees. This clean up
work must be followed up during the
summer.
Merchants should look we'll to pro-
lection of foods from dust and flies

The splendid endorsement given to
Prof. Mathews at Saturday evenings
caucus must certainly be pleasing to
him. Any man would be pleased with
such an evidence of confidence from
his neighbors, and the professor will
enter upon the duties of mayor with
the support and good will of practi-
cally every citizen. The Register
feels that It had some little share in
bringing about this happy result. as
undoubtedly .our editorial endorse
ment of Prof. Mathews crystalized the
sentiment in his behalf and made his
victory an easy one.

Lars A. Bitterness has announced
his candidacy for City Treasurer, sub

Mr.. Bitterness is exercising his right
as an American citizen to run for
Office and he is certainly entitled to a
fair hearing.

A local citizen who Is a close stu
dent of the European war predicts
that peace will come within two or
three months. He bases this pre-
diction in the belief that neither side
will win a decisive victory and the
further fact that the enthusiasm of the
first months of the war have worn
away and both sides respect the fight
ing ability of their opponents. With
no definite result in sight he believes
that common sense will rule and that
both sides will be glad to conclude a
peace agreement.

AUTO LAW TANGLED

Because the act Ices not say in its
title that the money is transferred or
appropriated, and because it does also
not appropriate the money from the
state treasurer to the secretary of
state, it looks now as though nobody
can run an automobile in the state of
South Dakota, or operate a motor
cycle after the first of July, 1915, says
a Pierre dispatch.
Senate bill Ill, of this legislature
which amended the motor vehicle law
of two years ago has placed the money
received from license Of autos and
motorcycles in the hands of the state
treasurer, instead of the secretary of
state, as it has formerly been paid,
but the new law still provides that the
secretary of state shall administer the
law, sending out the tags, buying them,
and hiring clerical help to do this, just
as has been dones since two years ago,
excepting that he shall make vouchers
upon the moneys in the hands of the
state treasurer, and that the auditor
shall draw warrants thereupon for
these necessary expenditures, but the
law itself, either in title or subject
matter, fails to say, "the money is ap-
propriated" and the senate and house
records show that the bill passed with
majority" vote, as ordinary laws pass,
and was not designated in any way as
an appropriation measure and did not
pass with the necessary label "hav-
ing received two-thirds vote of the
members elect" 1t Is imperative for
all appropriation measures to be spe-
cifcally labeled. even though they do
have two-thirds vote.
The law still provides that car own
ers and dealers shall get licenses and
tags, and that fifteen per cent of such
funds received shall be sem to the
state treasurer through county treasur-
ers. 1t also provides cars cannot be
operated without such license and
tags. If the secretary of state cannot
get the money from the state treasur-
er to supply the licenses and tages, be-
cause the new act does not specifically
appropriate it, then owners cannot re-
ceive tags or license. Owners operat-
ing cars without them are liable to
arrest, fine and Imprisonment.
1t is not as yet known what ruling
the attorney general will make upon
the act, but state officials believe the
act cannot possibly be considered an
operating of the act as to license fea-
lures, in which it is held that the
price of auto licenses until January 1,
1916, will be Sc for automobiles, 50
for motorcycles. $40 for dealers, extra
plates 50 per pair, and transfer 81
each. That cars bought after June 30,
1915, "a have half rate and that autos
In use five years preceding January /,
1915, get a one-half rate. In other
words, the old law is still in effect ex-
cepting that dealers get one-half rate
or S., after July /, 1915. That is, the
new law as to fees, cutting the fees in
half which have been charged, will not
begin to operate as to fee until Janu-
airy /, 1916. though other provisions
will be operative July /, 1915. Dealers
come under the half rate because they
buy their car in such instances after
June 30.
