NORTH DAKOTA
DRAINAGE CASE:
BEFORE court
(by Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The legal
controversy over the constitutionaltiy
of the North Dakota drainage law,
enacted in 1906, today came before
the supreme court of the United
States for oral argument. This marks
the end of long contest over the
validity Of this measure. The courts
decision in the case is not expected
for some weeks.
The drainage law was enacted to
assist in the improvement of hitherto
worthless land in North Dakota but
which promised to become valuable
under the law. II provided that the
county commissioners of each county
should appoint three citizens to con-
stitute a drainage commission for the
county. Petitions for drains were to
be submitted to this board. II after
investigation and hearing the drain
age commissioners found that the Pc
tition was reasonable they were au-
thorized to assess the costs of con-
structing the drain on property own
ers according to the benefits to be de.
rived.
When the drainage commissioners
of Traill county, N. D., were about
to construct a drain in Mayville and
Morgan townships. three property
owners, NJ. E. Selfish, w. H. M. Lyche
and J. o. Staupe, went into the courts
to enjoin the commissioners on the
ground that the law was unconstitu.
tional. They based this claim on the
argument that tha LEGISLATURE put into
the hands Of the commissioners the
power to levy assessments. Under
both the federal and state constitu
tions, it was argued, such a power
could not be delegated. The supreme
court of North Dakota, to which the
case was taken eventually, held that
the assessment in this case was not
such one as is prohibited by either
constitution.
The case came before the supreme
court Of the United States on the
question of whether the law violatef
the due process clause of the fed
eral constitution. The attorneys for
the property owners claimed tha
levying the assessment against them
and not against other citizens was
not due process of law. This theor,
was disputed by attorneys represent
ing the county.
