NEW BILL.
Modified Primary Measure to Come
Up fer Third Time.

The modified Richards primary
for the third time, provides for the
three-colunn party ballot. 1t
provides for proposal Of individual!
candidates by petition in the first
column as Independent candidates. 1t
provides for three proposalmen from
each cou.ty to a party state convex
tor, Who shall be emitted to vote the
full party vote of such county cast
at the last general election for gov.
ernor. 1t provides that if the state
convention canno agree or prlaci-
pies for parry platform or candidates,
the dissenters Of five or more propo,
sal men can her file opposition
group proposal of principles and can
didates in column two IN the party
ballot and enter the field Of discus
sion Of issues within the party. 1t
provides that If no representative OPP
position develops that the state con
yentinn proposal shall occupy column
two, instead OF column three. on the
party primary election ballot. 1t
partly restores the state convention
system, yet retains pure democracy
and the direct vote on party propo-
sails and nominations. It requires
proposed issues to be discussed he
fore the people by candidates for
chief executive positions. 1t elimi-
mates minority and majority proposal
men. 1t simOlifes registration mat
tiers By merely requiring separate
party ballots and swearing Of the
vote in when challenged. If no oppo.
sition develops in the convention or
by individual candidates by petition,
the representative convention propo-
sal becomes the party platform and
nominee for state and congressional
Offices. This is aimed to Illustrate
the present primary practice Of pri-
vate selection of successors by off.
cialdom, styled the apostolic sue
cession." The expense in mileage Of
representatives is largely reduced.
Prominent South Dakota citizens
who have learned Of the simplitied
form of the last Richards proposal
express themselves strongly in favor
of it. Mr.. Richards has been before
the people with his primary election
measure in n form or another fol
over twelve years, and the wise ones
say he has hit the mai. on the head
this time.

PRESIDENT PREPARES
TO SET MORE PRICES
Discusses Cost Of Producing
Steel, Copper and Other
Basic Materials.

WASHINGTON. Aug 22-At a
three hour conference with the fed
eral trade commission today Presi-
dent Wilson took up the whole sub
ject OF war prices and went over in
detail the commissions figures on
production costs Most OF the time
was given to a study of the commits
sion's report Just completed on the
cost OF producing steel.
Further measures to control the
coal industry came in for discussion
and 1t was learned later that last
nights order fixing scale of prices
for coal at the mouth of the mine
for the entire country will be fol-
lowed closely by others designed to
give the government a complete con-
troll Of the industry from mine to
consumer.
The president went to the trade
commission offices at o'clock and
remained until s. He found Commits
sioners Davies and Colyer there and
the conference began. Before il had
gone far the commissioners called in
Secretary Bracken and experts who
have handled the cost accounting
work. Together they explained to the
president details Of reports on coal.
steel, copper and other basic matters
and outlined the work accomplished
in getting production costs on num-
Der OF materials in which investiga-
uons have not been completed
For several days now the president
has given his attention almost en-
tirely to the work the federal trade
commission is doing. Officials with
whom he has consulted are of the
opinion that definite price policy
Will be formulated in the very near
future. Coal probably will be finally
disposed Of first and steel next.
