dict that the plan will come to
nothing, and that even contest
will not be instituted.
Nevertheless the situation con-
tains its possibilities. The consti-
tutional provision is not clear, and
it is easily conceivable that astute
democratic lawyers and of these
there are host about Rapid City
could by twisting phrases and
interpolating a meaning of their
own make out seemingly plaus-
able case against Judge Williams
son. If contest should develop,
it will put the Third Congressional
District of South Dakota in the
headlines during the next few
months and direct the political
attention of the country our way.

ELECTION OUTCOME IN
NORTH DAKOTA UNCERTAIN

Though nearly all the returns
are in, the outcome of the elect
ion is still uncertain and evidently
rather mixed. Many contests are
very close, and it will take the Of
fetal count to decide them. Cover
nor Frazier seems to have been re-
elected by a majority Of less than
one thousand. Congressman Baer,
the non partisan cartoonist, has
been defeated for reelection. Mimi
eapolis newspapers, which may not
be entirely unbiased, though con-
ceeding the election of Frazier,
claim that the non partisans have
lost both houses of the legislature.
If that be true there will probably
be excitement at Bismark during
the coming winter. Evidently the
non partisansssdid not develope the
strength they expected at this ell
ection. Uncertain factors may
have contributed to this, and they
may be losing ground. Certainly
they are not loosing ground in
Haakon county, where they have
never made showing before.

STANLEY COUNTY WOMAN
BURNED TO DEATH

What is probably one of the
early worst tragedies that has ever
occurred in this vicinity happened
early Tuesday morning, when a
Mrs. Richardson, was accidently
burned to death, and her husband
very seriously burned. The acci-
dent occurred a a result of start
ing a fire in a stove by using a
filed oil can to start the flames
more quickly.
The facts in the tragedy first
came to light about ten o'clock
Tuesday morning when Mr.. Rich
ardson was found along side the
road near Sansarc. His clothes
were still burning when he was
found, he having fell exhausted
after making a desperate attempt
to get help. The charred remains
of Mrs. Richardson were found in
the house where the tragedy had
occurred Mr.. Richardson was rush
ed to the hospital at Pierre, and at
this writing is getting along as
well as can be expected.
The young couple has only been
in this section of the country a
short time. They came from Illi-
nois, and have been living on the
Starlin ranch near Sansarc, while
Mr.. and Mrs. Starlin are spending
the winter in California. Midland

COUNTY DIVISION DEFEAT
ED IN PENNINGTON

County division lost in Penning-
ton county by majority Of three
TO one.
Although the vote in the east end
of the county was quite emphatic
for Division, the vote in Rapid City
md the west end of the county
vas so overwhelming in opposition
that the majorites in favor of divi-
sion were soon wiped out. The
vote stands 900 in favor of division
to2641 against, with six precincts
yet to hear from, and these will
only tend to increase the major
tiles of those opposed to division.

The vote on the new court house
as was predicted developed into a
very close fight, the vote being
2192 in favor of the sale OF bonds
for the erection of new court
house and jail and 1876 against
the proposition, with six precincts
missing as follows: Pactola, Key

precincts will report favorably and
the majority will likely be swelled

JACKSON COUNTY
ELECTION RETURNS

jackson county IS the nome OF
our old friend "Chet" Leedom and
a good many more unadulterated
republicans of his stripe. During
the campaign Leedom held some
very effective meetings both east
and west of the river. He speaks
the language of the common man
without flourish but with emph-
asis. During the campaign, a pro-
minent democratic candidate for
office assured "Chet" that it would
be good plan to go hime and
look after his own county if he
was really desirous Of republican
success.
Developments indicate that Jack
son county needed no looking af-
ter. Based on percentages of the
whole vote cast,s.it returned the
largest republican majorities of
any county in the state. Here are
the figures to prove the statement:
Norbeck, sos; Cherry 207; Ayers,
53; Williamson, 532; Candy, 1873;
Bates. SO; Morrison 571; Watwood,
214; Britton, so. There was no
contests in that county for the
county offices except sheriff. For
this office Solon, republican, re-
ceived 605, and Rose democrat 234.
The brand of republicanism that
fourishes over that way is indicat-
ed by the fact that there were 120
straight republican votes in Kado-
ka precinct.

unolasslfied Employees, Barred
T rom Benefits, Want Execu-
tive Order.

The Civil Service Commission yes.
tsrday requested an opinion from At
tosney General Palmer on the ques-
ton Of whether unclassified Govern
msnt employees may be Included by
Executive order In the classes entitled
to the Dement'S Of the retirement law
Miss Gertrude M. Mentally, acting
president of the National Federation
of Federal Employees. brought to the
attention OF the commission the fact
that unclassined Federal employees. of
which there are thousands, we're ex-
cluded from participation In the pro-
visions OF retirement.
Such unciAssified positions include
chArwomen. seamstresses, laundresses
and other similar occupations in the
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing
and labcrers at the Navy Yard as
well as throughout the country at
large.
1t was pointed out today that the
exclusion OF these employees Is ex-
csedingly unfortunate. Miss McNally
declared that many of these are
among the oldest workers In the Gov
srnment service. a number OF the
women thus affected in the bureau
having served thirty years and more.
The low pay which these workers
receive is used rs a strong argument
to entitle them to the benefits of re-
tirement after giving practically their
entire life in work for the Govern
ment.
The retirement law provides that
its provisions may be extended by
Executive order, upon recommends
tion of the Civil Service Commission,
to include any employe OF the Gov
ernment not classified at the time OF
the passage OF the act.
The commission this morning an
nounced that II would include .unclas-
stfied employees in the benefits of re-
tirement IL the Attorney General is
sues an opinion to this effect. which
II is believed he will.

Next Felu Years Will
See Greatest Auction
~Hones in History
BY DAN F. o'CoNNELL.

TO the amount OF s3I I.5Io,62s. In some
cases the property sold for less than
the assessed value. But. most OF
these sales were made during the
early period of his listing.
In enc instance, his list shows that
a row of houses in the northwest sec .
tion OF the city, which were assessed
at about 81, 400 each, sold at varying
prices from &2.l0O to $4,000. The
highest sales were made during the
year 1919. and the lowest sales DUR
ing the year 1910.
An Investigation showed that each
of the houses in the row were In
about the same condition. and the
range in prices was due to the fact
that during the year 1919 the hous-
ing condition in Washington was In
such bad condition that the owners
Of houses could get practically any
price they wanted.
Banks and building Associations in
Washington are getting more con-
servative in the matter OF loaning TO
home buyers, 1t 10 said and in some
cases the banks are calling In loans
on property, which they think Will
not be able to pay the amount OF the
trusts, taking into consideration the
expected falling in price.
LITTLE CASH PASSED.
In about a dozen or two cases In
house buying in Washington It was
learned that houses that sold for
between 5000 and $4,000. the actual
amount OF cash that passed was be-
twee nSI00 and 5000. The remainder
was to be paid in monthly install
ments or in first and second trusts.
Several other cases have come to
light in the recent Rent Commission
hearings. where the owner of a house
sold IL, asking a price so high that
he did not even desire to have a deed
filed. In such cases the owner gave
the purchaser a bill of sale, and "
the new owner fails to meet the re-
auirements OF the sale. the old owner
will not be put to the trouble OF fore
closing trusts and going into court
to obtain possession OF his property
The new owner, n he fails to meet
the requirements OF the deal. will be
out the money he has paid, and cannot
legally claim An equity In the house.
Some OF the old.timets in the real
estate business In Washington pre-
dict a return to the days OF 1893 In
the real estate situation In washing
ton. They say that the situation to-
day is the same as IL was then, only
on account of the increased popula-
tion, II has been magnined.
The Washington times., 1920-06-20

Within the next few years more
houses in Washington will be put up
at auction than ever before in the
history of the city.
mis- is the opinion of many bankers
and men who have made a study OF
the real estate situation in Washing
ton. They base their assertion upon
the fact that houses in washtngto ton,
during the past two years, have been
sold to people OF small means, and on
the lowest possible margin.
Many people who have thus bought
houses, they say, do not and never
did, intend to be the ultimate owners
or the property, paying the small de-
posit down on the houses to insure
their getting a place to live, and let
ting II go as q bonus to the owner of
the property.
In other cases, by paying a small
deposit down on the house, the ten.
ant could get the privilege OF buying
II, by paying a small monthly amount
that in many cases. was lower than
the actual rent, they would have to
pay IL they had continued as tenants.
This saving, with the added security
that they could not be put out. in
ha"y " dtNthpt W wy hS"NSs
II Is said.
BOUGHT DURING WAR
Another reason for believing that a
number of houses will be thrown
upon the market in the near future
bought by people employed in the
Government during the war emer-
gency. They will be let out grad
ually, II is believed. and will not be
able to carry out their payments.
Most of these people, IL is said,
have paid but small amount down
and are paying the remainder on the
monthly payment plan.
Another class OF house buyers
whose property probably will be
thrown upon the market shortly, are
those who bought property for in
vestment purposes. paying high
price for II. They were induced to
pay these high prices by the high
rente. which more than made UP for
TIE high price they paid. The rent
they receive from the houses pays
them a good income on the money in
vested, even after they deduct the in
tsrest they have to pay on the trusts
on the house.
In many cases. Il Ia known. this
class OF real estate buyers have
bought property for about $4,000.
They paid about 81 900 or $4,000 down
and took ,rst and second trusts upon
the property. When the property
value falls below the amount of the
trusts, IL Ia said. they will let go
OF the property, and the next step is
for the holders of the trusts to put
the property up for auction to get
back their money
