WHAT THE PRIMARY
WILL COST COUNTY
ESTIMATE BASED ON COUNTY
AUDITORS FIGURES INDICATE
EXPENDITURE OF $2,500
OTHER COUNTIES TO SPEND MUCH MORE
Increase in Number of Voting Places
May Be Necessary in Brookings
In the Near Future.

/ The primary election on March 20
will cost this county about $4,000, ac'
cording to an estimate based upon
| figures given the Register by County
Auditor Alton The biggest item OF
expense is for clerks and judges.
There are 81 voting precincts III the
county and in each Of these five men
will be paid for two days work each
at the rate of $500 per day, or $3.50.
The sheriff's bill for mileage in de-
livering the ballot boxes to the pre-
cincts will be about $125. Returning
these boxes will cost about 500. The
bill for postage, including postal reg
istry fees, will be approximately $50,
and rent of rooms at least $40. Elec-
tion supplies, including ballots, blanks,
ETC., cannot be closely estimated until
the bills are rendered, but these items
will probably be enough to bring the
total cost up to the figure stated
above, $4,000.
Fortunately, in the interest Of econ
omy, and paper conservation, It will
be comparatively short" ballot.
There are only three tickets-repub-
lican, democratic and Independent,
and an official ruling that where can
didate for nomination TO a county Of
flee has no opposition his name need
not appear on the ballot also has the
effect of greatly reducing the size of
the ballot and the cost of printing 1t.
However, it will be necessary this
year to provide more ballots than for
merly because of the addition Of the
women to the former number OF voters.
And at this point is where the legis-
lature seems to have missed cog
when the bill was written. The old
primary election law provided that
100 ballots must be furnished each
precinct for each rs votes cast therein
for governor at the last preceding elec-
ton. At the last former election the
ture seems to have overlooked the
fact that if the women vote in as
large a percentage Of their whole num-
Der as do the men the total vote will
be doubled. If the auditor should
strictly follow the existing law as IT
reads there would not be enough bal.
lots to supply all entitled to vote. He
has, however interpreted the statu-
tory instructions in a Rooseveltian
spirit TO meet the actual situation con-
fronting him and will have printed
about double the number used in for
mer years.
The matter of a possible need for
an increased number of voting booths
is another matter that seems to have
not been anticipated but this difficulty
can no doubt be met by adopting the
gallant rule of ladies first" this year,
and if it does not work out satisfac-
torily more can be provided before
the general election next fall. It may
be found necessary in Brookings to
increase the number of voting pre-
cints by dividing some of the pre-
cincts, but that will not be done for
the primary election. The safest plan
for voters who wish to be sure of
not losing their vote will be to come
early and avoid the rush" that may
occur about the time for closing the
polls.

STATE OF TRADE

The state of trade over the country
reported by Bradstreet's for the week

Manufacturing active, but production
lags behind demand Car shortages
and severe weather conditions hamper
distribution. Building widely active,
but checked by high materials and Ia
Dor cost. Stock market weaker; credit
situation dominant factor. Discount
rate advanced. Renewed weakness in
exchange. Call money rates up. Bank
clearings under last weeks, but above
a year ago. Failures still below nor
