Missouri Valley, Ia, Aug 6, 'O2.
Editor Times: In your issue of
Aug 4, a communication appears
in which it is stated that a certain
member of the board of supervis-
ors was opposed to the establish
ment of drainage system for the
proper drainage of the low lands
rs petitioned for. The article
states that for the purpose of de-
faatlng and delaying any action
lot the boarl, said member urged
nnimportant and irrelevant objec-
tions to the matter presented.
Current rumors or reports have
not been fair in this matter. The
"unlmportant and irrelevant OBJ
jections" made by said member
consisted of this one objection,
that the law governing such mat
ters be fully complied with before
any action be taken by the board.
That simply was all there was to
i+. The statute referred to among
other things provides "that the
damages assessed by appraisers
by reason OF the construction Of
any ditch or drain, shall be paid
in the first instance by the pnrties
benefited bysuch Improvement, or
secured to BE- paid upon such
terms and conditions as the coun-
ty auditor may deem just and
proper"
No action OF this kind had been
done either by the former board
or county auditor, hence the Gun
important and irrelevent objec-
ton"
The board or the individual
members thereof could do nothing
else. The statute referred to is
not directory bat mandatory and
should by all means be followed
if litigation is to be avoided.
The statute controlling is here
with given in full:
Sec. 194L-Location, damages.
The board. at the session set for
hearing said petition and, if nec-
essary. view the premises, and if
they find such Improvement con-
ductive to the public health, con-
venience or welfare, and no
claims shall have been made for
damages rs provided in the next
section they shall locate and es.
tablish the same on the route
specified in the plat and return Of
the county surveyor or engineer.
But if any such claim has been
made further proceedings shall
be adjourned to the next regular
session, and the county auditor
shall forthwith appoint appraiser
to assess such damages, who shall
proceed in a manner provided by
law for assessment of damages in
opening of damages in opening of
roads; and the sum 80 assessed in
favor of said claimant shall be
paid in the first instance by the
parties benefited by such improve.
ment, or secured to be paid upon
such terms and conditions as the
county auditor may deem just and
proper; and the board shall, at
the next regular session after such
damages have been assessed and
paid. or secured, as aforesaid, pro-
oeed to locate and establish the
Improvement as hereinbetore pro-
vided, and place a competent en-
gineer in charge of the work.

REPUBLICANS IN DANGER
New York Herald Thinks They
Nav Lose i'm 1904.

New York, Oct. 2S.-The New
York Herald 5 non partisan poll Of
forty live States, which will elect
386 members of the House of Rep
resentati res for the Fifty eighth
Congress, shows that the Republi-
cans will probably be able to con-
troll the organization of that body,
but by very narrow majority. To
win the control the Republicans
must elect 1914 members. The Her.
aid S returns give them 200. They
also show that there are Ill reason :
ably certain districts for the Demo
Gratis and fifteen districts doubtful.
A general Democratic drift IN the
East, with a very heavy vote for
Coler in Greater New York, ap-
preaching that of Cleveland in 1892.
when he carried what afterwards be-
came the greater city by III, ,000 pla-
ralIty, would not only wipe out the
slender indicated Republican majority
in Congress, but would sweep most of
these doubtful districts to the Demo
Gratis and give them control.
This Is tremendous turnover from
the congressional elections of 1900.
At that time the Republicans had a
majority of forty-six msmbsrs Ap :
parently now that majority has been
almost wiped out. Hard luck for the
Republicans in the. closing days of
the campaign. few mistakes or a
tendency of the independent voters,
even slight, toward Democracy, and
it is gone.
The senate, with legislatures in
doubt in Idaho, Indiana and Pennsyl-
vania. and with Delaware likely to

full g.
1t has been high tide in the Re-
publican party in the nation for al
most ten years. The tide is ebbing
Whether it will turn before the next
presidential election is a question
but it is perfectly clear. judging from
political conditions prevailing ten
days before the elections, that the
voters are changing their views In
sufficient numbers to cause the grav-
est apprehension on the part OF the
Republican managers.
