Every few days some business
man from other parts OF the state
drops into town to transact some
business at the Court House and
is thereby given an opportunity to
inspect the work of out Board of
County Commissioners in the or
ganization of the business of the
new county. We find that it is
the universal opinion of all such
callers that our board has display
ed very fine judgement in the policy
they have pursued. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion of the many court
house callers that we have one of
the best Boards of County Com
missionere in the state. 1t is a
common remark, You must have
a mighty capable Board, you ought
to keep them right in office if they
will accept another term. The
Press believes that the Jackson
county taxpayer has every reason
to feel proud of the fine record
made by our Commissioners and
we feel sure that the people will
show their appreciation by giving
the old Board an overwhelming
majority for a second term in the
coming primary and election.

Amendments To
Be Voted On

The constitution of the state OF
South Dakota contains this clause:
Nor shall the state engage in any
work of internal Improvement. "
Several years ago when it was de-
sired to organize drainage districts
in the southeastern portion of the
state, the people ran bump into
this provision and had to stop until
a special amendment was submitted
and approved. Later, the irriga-
tionists met the same obstacle and
attempted to amend but failed in
the election of 1914.
At the coming election four sep
arate amendments are to be voted
upon seeking to escape the inhlbl-
ton quoted. These relate to irri-
cation districts, rural credits, state
highways and the mining and sale
of coal upon state lands. There is
reason to expect that all of these
will prevail this year.
u Theirrigation amendment is iden-
tical with the one defeated at the
last election. 1t permits the form
alton of irrigation districts and the
bonding of such districts for the
irrigation of the lands affected.
Only the lands to be benefited can
be charged with the costs. This
amendment is Of vital importance
to large sections in the western part
of the state.
The rural credits amendment per-
mits the state, any county, or sew
eral counties comparatively to en-
gage in making long time farm
loans. The agricultural people of
the state are tremendously interest
ed in this provision. 1t is expect
ed that under its operation abund-
ant means can be supplied to farm
ers at verv low rate to be paid in
small annual payments.
This state highway amendment
is intended to permit the state to
take advantage of the provisions OF
any bill which congress may pass
for national aid to highways.
The coal amendment is intended

Old Jackson county is certainly
happy this spring. Our cattle,
horses and our winter grains are
looking fine. Moisture, we have a
plenty. Spring grain is being sown
and every alfalfa field is coming
fine. Sure it is a pity that the
renter down east don't wake up and
come out here where he can secure
home of his own while land is
cheap. Jackson county offers more
natural inducements to the settler
than most any other west river
county-we have the water, timber
and soil.

falfa. Along in the middle of June
when the corn needed cultivating
the most, we had to stop and cut
the alfalfa. 1t was in bloom three
feet high, we had to haul in 20
loads of hay off it. In July the
folks in town invited us to spend a
week attending the Chautauqua. |

had to cut the blamed alfalfa patch
again. Gee. but it was hot haul

he will no doubt be s.ble to secure

Ben Hughes of Wall township,
has filed as a democratic candidate
for county sheriff and will oppose
l. w. Wiltfang for the nomination
upon that ticket. Ben Hughes is
one of the progressive young farm
ers OF the county, perfect gentle
man in every way, and it can be
said by all his acquaintance that
he is ever ready to take off his coat
and go to work for any movement
which will boost his town or county.
She2ld Jackson county democrats
decide to nominate him at the COM
ing primary as their candidate for
sheriff and should he then be the
choice of the voters of the county

well taken care of.

to permit the state to supply coal
to the people of the state, from
lands belonging to the state. "
South Dakota owns vast quantities
of land in the northwestern counties
much of which is underlaid with
veins of good Ignite. 1t is an
nounced that process has finally
been evolved for the briquetting OF
out Ignite without the use of a
binder; in fact promoters are at this
time in the field seeking TO organ
ize briquetting companies and Of
fering to give satisfactory bonds to
indemnify investors in case the
machines fail to do the work for
which they are intended. The
briquets made by the new process
retain all of the native gases and
and have 1900 b. t. IL. as COM
pared with 10000 in commercial
anthracite. There is an abundance
of Ignite to practically supply the
South Dakota fuel market forever.
1t is now represented that the bri-
quets can be placed on cars at the
mine for less than 81 per ton. And
can be sold in our local markets at
retail at prices varying from S. to
S8 per ton as against from SII to
SI2 for anthracite. Our present
fuel bill is SII, 900, 900 annually.
The utilization of our own sup
plies will cut this sum three or
four million dollars, or sum suffi-
cient to pay all the cost OF state
government and maintaiEence Of all
our state institutions for two years.
Should these amendments prevail,
as they now seem certain to do,
the next legislature will be called
upon to enact more constructive
Legislation than has ever confront
ed any previous session.
