SENATOR DAVIS NOT A cANDI.
DATE.

We are just in receipt of the fol-
lowing statement from Judge Davis,
senator of this district, formally an
noulcirg that he will not be candi-
date for denomination:
JACKSON, June IL.
Editor Ledger:-A short time ago
in commenting on the announcement
of ". G. Ralston as a candidate for
the nomir ttion of state senator of
this district, you took occasion to
refer to me in very kindly terms, in
which you ed that l thought of a
renominatit and that Amador
county nat ally inclined toward
me. I desire to thank you for your
kindly reference. The time has
come, however, for me to state my
decision. 1 have had discussion
with some of Ey personal friends as
to the advisability of my becoming
a candidate for reelection, but it
has become more and more evident
to me that to again enter upon a
political campaign, and after that to
attend a second session of the legis-
lature, would cause too serious in
roads upon the time that must here
after be given to business, and the
practice of my profession. More
over, the exigency upon which l
was prevailed upon to accept the
nomination four years ago would ap-
pear no longer to exist. l am not,
therefore, and shall not be candi-
date for denomination.
Thanking you for your courteous
mention of my name,
l am very sincerely,
JOHN F. DAVIS.

THE Canadian thistle is becoming
such nuisance in various parts OF
the state that action is being taken
in some counties to suppress this
noxious weed. In Placer county it
is made a misdemeanor for any land
owner to permit the thistle to
fructify on his land. In other sec
tions the question is being discussed,
and the passage of state law ad-
vocated that any man whose land is
subject to injury on account of
thistles growing IN land adjoining,
may recover nages from the
owner of such Ian l. The agitation
OF this matter shows that the evil is
spreading, and it will not be long
before some remedial measures will
have to be taken. Years ago the
writer of this article called attention
to the spread of this destructive
thistle In Amador county, and the
necessity of some action by the
county authorities to exterminate
the pest. The thistle is seen firing
ing the public highways in many
places, and even the streets of the
principal towns in the county are
not kept free from the abomination.
1t requires no gift of prophesy to
foresee that it will not be long ere
something will have to be done to
protect the soil from wide spread
devastation from this source. In all
countries where the thistle thrives, ii
is recognized and treated as a
scourge to be suppressed by the
strong arm of the law. The sooner
steps are taken in this direction by
Amador county, the better will it be
for the interests of all concerned.

ITEMIZED BILLS.
JOHN F. DAVIS.

The matter of presenting itemized
accounts is commanding attention in
other counties beside Amador. In
Contra Costa the question cropped
up in relatI N to claims of justices
and constables. The district at
torney of that county has been called
upon to give his opinion as to the
right of the board of supervisors to
require accounts of the officials
named to be itemized. He has re-
sponded to the call, and decided that
claim against the county should be
itemized before it is allowed. This
decision apparently covers a good
deal more than the bills of justices
and constables. 1t applies to claims
for road work, and in fact every
kind of demand for money against
the county. Section 40 of the coun-
ty government bill of 1889 is quoted
as follows;
The board of supervisors must not
hear or consider any claim in favor of
any public officer, person, corporation,
company or association against the
county, nor shall the board audit or
allow any claim or bill against the
county or district fund, unless the same
be itemized, giving names, duties, par
:. sulars, services rendered, character
of proc, ,ss served, upon whom, dis
snce aveled, when and where, char
ter of work done, number of days
e-.gaged, supplies or materials furnish
ed, 10 whom. and quantity and price
I2id therefor, dr'Y verified to be cor
rect, and that amount claimed is
justly due, an6 subscribed to and
fled with the cl, of the board within
year after the Item ofthe account
or claim accrued. If, in case of any
claim which requires itemizing, the
board does not hear or consider the
same because it is not itemized, they
shall cause notice notice to be given
to the claimant or his attorney of that
fact, and give time to have the claim
itemized and verified.
In Amador county the people are
interested in having itemized bills
for all road work presented by the
parties actually doing the work.
This is the course pursued in all
counties anxious to keep within the
strict letter and spirit of the law.
Amador, for some reason unknown
to US, has for years departed from
the regular path. Her road bills
have been presented in aggregate
form IN the name of the supervisor
of each district. Whether this coun-
ty was the first one to inaugurate
this system we are unable to say.
We do know, however, that other
counties are falling into the same
methods. In our neighboring county
of Calaveras we notice the supervis-
ors are getting into the way of allow
ing bills in their own names for road
work. So far, no protest has been
raised by the press of that county
against the innovation. 1t is bound
to come, however, if not from the
press, the people will take a hand
therein. In Lmador an agitation
has been started for nearly year,
the object of which is to get back to
business methods in having fully
itemized bills, and presented only by
the interested parties. We expect
