THE PROPER TALK.

Sioux Valley News: The cattlemen
Of the western prairies Of our state
are maintaining a strong lobby at
Pierre to defeat, if possible, the pas
sage of a law that will make them
pay for the use OF the school lands.
The school lands in a half dozen coun-
ties east OF the river, pay a rental for
grazing purposes, which goes into the
school funds OF the state and which is
many times greater than all the vast
prairie country west Of the river has
heretofore paid. If TIE state is going
into the nursing business, it had bet
ter care for the children instead of
the calves. The cattiemen claim
that unless they can Craze their herds
on the school lands practically free,
they will have to go out of business.
Well, let them go out. The small
farmers and ranch men east Of the
river manage to do fairly we'll even
when competing with the big fellows
who want the state to nurse their
calves free of charge and If the state
refuses, as it should, to longer act as
god mother to the calf induStr:

'0ut OF business. there will be more
oit to the little fellows on this side
fthe river who do not ask the state
to nurse their calves. If the legisla-
ture has The stuff in it's makeup,
which The News believes it has, il
will tell the cattlemen to "get oil the
earth., or that portion of it embraced
liz the school lands, unless the: are
willing 10 pay Il reasonable rental.
The rights of the children OF TIN,
state are superior to the interests ui

the legislature will doubtless take tie

do.

NAME The ROADS.
A System of Designating the High.
ways of the County.

In another column isaclipping from
Waliacc's Farmer urging farmers TO
name their farnl as a matter of con-
venience and Identification. The
naming of farms may be well enough,
but there is another matter that
should first be taken up as Of much
more Importance. and that is the
naming OF the highwaysof thecounty.
There is really as much need of a sys-
TEN of designating by name or num-
bel the roads of the county as the
streets and avenues of the city. In
! some of the counties OF Michigan the
matter of naming the roads is in
charge of IL commission, which acts
without any legal sanction, that the
writer knows Of, but whatever ar
rangement this commission adopts
will likely be readily accepted by the
people.
The great convenience of having all
roads named or numbered is too
obvious to require any argument. 1t
is only a question of time when prac-
ideally the whole county will he GOV
cred by the rural mail delivery, and
ia this respect the naming Of roads,
and farms too, for that matter, would
be especially advantageous. This is a
large county and there are Al section
line roads running east and west, not
counting the county lines.
A system Of naming could be de-
vised SO tina. the name would Indicate
the distance from the north line or
the east line and whether a north and
south or an east and west road. Thus
the county line road could be named
simply North County Line and the
next four east and west roads south
of this lines given names beginning
with a; as, Abbott, Abraham, Adams,
Amsden; and the next four names be.
ginning with b; as, Badgley, Boundy,
Bradner, Burnham, giving four names
in each letter, alphabetically arranged
as to the second letter in names. The
first twelve letters in the alphabet,
down to and including L, covering all
east and west lines, leaving the 81
north and south roads to be given
names in such OF the remaining let
ters rs are necessary to cover them,
pursuing the same system. 1t can
readily be seen that the name Of a
road would indicate it's direction and
location. Take the name Eygabroad;
it would Indicate an east and west
road as all names down to M are on
east and west lines, and being the
last name in E it must be twenty
miles from the north line, or the road
running through Westport village.
Farms could be numbered. twenty
numbers on each road to each con-
gressional township somewhat after
the Philadelphia plan.
