NO CONFLICT IN TERMS
OF PRIMARY AMENDMENT

Pierre. S.. D.. Feb. 21.-It is found
upon closer study of the recently enact
ed primary law amendments, that
there is really no conflict, as was at
hrst supposed, in tho provisions for
form OF ballot on presidential cleo
tors, and they will go on the ballot as
individuals under the new act.
Each candidate for delegate to the
national convention must stand on his
own merits under his preference among
the list of presidential candidates filed,
and there will be no grouping under
a motto. Confusion had arisen in read
tng the statute newly enacted, because
OF indefinite terms n references to
sections of the old act, which We're
taken to mean the new act, inasmuch
as the new act constantly refers to
provisions of this act" which would
lead a casual reader to conclude the
reference was to the new act, and
In that way confusion arose over pro-
visions.
The secretary of state is preparing
the form for the new ballots and I'M
der the new amendment they will be
different h any before, because the
old provision in regard to delegates to
national conventions in a group under
a heading at the bottom of the ballc-
VIII be stricken out entirely. Now.
at the head OF the ballot is inserted:
FIRST, the name of candidates for pres
ident; second, the delegates to national
convention; third, place for candidate
Tor vice president. Following there
three spaces, the old form of ballot will
obtain.

JUDGE ELLIOTT SAYS
PROPERTY OF INDIANS
NOT SUBJECT TO TAX
Decision Grows Out of Action
In Dewey ~County-Question
Is Often Agitated.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Feb. 21.-Judgc
Elliott, of the United States court, in
this city, has rendered an important
decision. in which he holds that trust
property of Indians is not subject to
taxation by the counties or states in
which it is located. The decision was
rendered in a case arising from Dewey
Bounty.
His decision is another victory for
the office of the United States district
attorney of South Dakota, and fol-
lowered the action in the case of the
United States against John Pearson, as
treasurer, and Calvin NJ. Smith as
sheriff of Dewey county, this state, on
Rn injunction order to restrain the COL
lection of taxes against trust property
Of the Indians on the Cheyenne River
indian reservation.
The court determines that all of the
property assessed against the Indians
haned in the bill of complaint was is
Sue property or increase of issue prop
erty belonging to one of the classical
tons endorsed in the opinion and as
such al instrumentality used by the
government of the United States for
The benefit of these Indian wards and not
taxable for county or state purposes.
Judge Elliott's decision, it is be-
Iieved, will have far reaching effect
throughout the counties in which In
dian reservations are located, and Will
become of Importance as a precedent
In other western states.

The experiences of the captive King
J~ehoiachin and his subjects may well
have furnished the basis for the book
of Job, Prof. John Franklin Genung,
Of Amherst college, suggests in a study
Of the inner history of the Chaldean
exile published in Bibliotheca Sacra.
Job, he thinks, may be a cryptic name
conveying to that generation comfort
which would not have been allowed to
find open expression. The fact that
Ezekiel couples the name of Job with
thai OF Daniel as a contemporary
seems to sustain this conclusion.
