Of 1912. the production of flax
seed IN South Dakota has declin-

necessary to utilize existing
knowledge of flax culture. Bulle-

for publication Of the election and di.
rections for the inspector Of the precinct
to post certain number OF notices aud
ballots in live public places, etc.
The election officials OF the townships
and cities at civic elections ase selected
in an entirely different manner than are
those Of the primary and regular cleo.
tions.
In township, village and small city
elections the primary law does not ap.
|ply, At these elections there are no
inspectors" there is no provision for
booths, no official ballots. etc.
Under the primary law the "inspect
or" posts the ballots, looks after the
booths, etc. Under the small city laws
there is no inspector. Who, therefore
shall post the sample ballots five days
before elections?" And il this officer is
found and he performs that duty, who
will pay him for bis work?
The civic corporations have no inter-
est whatever in the posting of the bal
lots or supplying booths-shall they
therefor pay the bills incurred there
fore.
We wonder what would happen il, say,
It the small city of Pembina, should pro.
ceed with their city election on its usual
lines and ignore the primary law Tor pre-.
lsidential electors. etc, on, the nftStlnd
that they could not perform two duties
on the same day by being members of .
county election board and a city election
board, etc?
In other words are they city or orcounty
officers, or both? It IS evidently the in.
tent of the law that they shalt be city
officials when pay day arrives.
Rather mixed, isn't it?
