Meaning of Richards Law Enactment

Candidates for presidential nomi-
nations will henceforth have to ap-
pear in South Dakota to take part in
Joint debates or their names cannot
appear on. the primary ballots in this
state, ii primary law enacted a
week ago last Tuesday under the ih-
itiative remains on the statutes until
1920.
Returns received at the capitol in
dicate sthat the so-called Richards
primary law was adopted by safe
majority.
The law divides each of the parties
into majority" and minority" fac
tions, requiring that each faction Of
fer complete set Of candidates in
the Sbiennial primaries. Candidates
for nomination for president amp gov
ernor must challange one another to
Joint debate. Failure to accept Il
cfalange automatically strikes the
name Of the delinquent from the bal
lot. County ''prQposalmen" from each
faction of eachparty will meet in Jan
nary of each election year To propose
candidates, official notices, and con-
struct party platforms. The result
of their work is then submitted TO
the voters on the primary ballot.
This is the third time the law has
been approved by direct vote. 1t was
adopted under the Initiative in 1912
a substitute was rejected i'm the 1914
election. In 1919 the legislature re-
pea!sd it. Mr.. Richards appeal ulti-
mately reached the United States su.
preme court, which uMlold the state
supreme courts approval OF the ac'
tion of The legislature.

lBELATED ELECTION RETURNS

The latest election news is to the
efret that President Wilson has been
reelected to the presidency of the
United States with about 260 electoral
votes, and this number may be in
creased when the official counts in
the various states have been complet-
cd. California finally went Demo-
cratic on the national ticket ond this
decided the result. Several states
are very close, and there is some talk
Of recount. 4 recount sometimes
changes the result but the instances
are very rare. President Wilson also
received good majority Of the popu-
lar votes, ,563.7l3, and Hughes s,l6o,-
400, giving Wilson majority of the
popular vote of 403,3ll.
While the United States Senate re-
mains under the control OF the Dem
ocrats, the House is said to be evenly
divided between the Republicans and
Democrats, each having 2l5, and
there have been two progressives, one
independent, and one socialist elect
ed to the national house, and
on strict party lines these four
men viii have the balance Of power.
There will probably be quite inter-
esting contest for speaker OF the
House, when congress meets.
On late returns wonan's suffrage in
this state seems to have been defeat
ed by fair sized majority, while the
prohibition amendment carried by
about 10000. All the referred and in
itlated laws seem to have been de-
feated, with the possible exception of
the Richards Primary Law, which
may have been re-enacted by the
people by small majority. Only
three of the constitutional amend
ments seem to have met with the APP
proval of the people-they are prohib-
ition. rural credits and state roads
C. E. Kell was also elected Represent
atiye from the district comprised Of
Tripp, Mellette and Bennett counties
1t Is reported that he received a
majority in all three counties. .Fhe
balance of the results are about as, we
gave them last week.

February was passing. The days Of
fitful sunlight were becoming more
! frequent. The camp was humming
with business. Silent, bent on the
thing In hand, the Indians worked
without need Of encouragement
The slough was bank-full and its
surface was covered from dawn to
dark with a floor of logs slowly drift
ing on every tide downward to the
backwater.
At the slough's mouth huge cradle
was slowly forming in its braces
Here the little loading donkey pulled
and footed, graphing many.ton tim
bers with its two drag-hooks, placing
them here and there. The mass OF
chains covered the bottom Of the
cradle few feet apart.
Twelve men worked continually al

logs inside the cradle, carrying th'
giant chains up and over as the snul
floor reached the top. iacing the whole
together and at last lifting the center
gently, thus giving to the thing it,

The School Fund Case

By its definition Of ordinary leve'
nue., term used by successive gener'
al assemblies, the Supreme Court has
decided that the common schools Of
Missouri will receive Sl80,3l39l less
this year than they would have received
under the ordinary Interpretation OF
the language Of the school fund appro'
prlation. Regrcttable as this is, there
is Qualification in the fact that the de-
cision saved for the schools the addition
al 1884, ,lS9 Is which the state officials
tried to divert TO the general revenue
fund
The responsibility for this loss TO
the schools rests on the state officials,
particularly on the state auditor. A
year ago he had an opinion from the
office of the attorney general that re-
pcaled sessions Of the General Assem-
blv had continued 10 misuse language
for which it was responsible. 1, must
have been a matter Of ignorance.
Any General Assembly could have
reclifed the language Of the school
fund appropriation. 1t was not con-
fined to ordinary revenQe." The
constitution fixed the minimum for the
pu0ic school fund at not less than
Is per cent Of the state revenue, ex'
elusive OF the interest and sinking

Assembly met after Mr.. Gordon had
the opinion IRON the Office Of the at
torney general. Why was its attention
not called to the question OF interpre
taton, so that the appropriation might
BE- made in clear language3
il was in May, after the general AS
sembly adjourned, that the school fund
quintet decided on the bold stroke 10
replenish the general revenue fund al
the expense Of the common schools.
