WHERE it CAME FROM.

In regard to the origin Of the Rus
sian thistle the Huron (South Dakota)
Huronite gives this bit Of history: In
an article promulgated by the state
agricultural college and printed In
this paper few days ago the his
tory Of the Russian thistle was tho
topic, a pest born in South Dakota
and permitted to spread over the
northwest. The article states that
the seed Of the thistle was brought
into the country from Russia In some
flaxseed that was planted near Scot
land, which is an error. The frst
Russian thistle growth appeared
along the levee in Yankton, where
Russian immigrants unloaded their
effects from the cars, and along the
road over which the immigrants trav.
eled when going to their nearby
claime.

GOVERNOR Hanna
VET0S some Bills

Bismarck, N. D., March 18.-aov.
error Hanna has vetoed the bill! which
was passed for the purpose OF chang.
ing the personnel OF the state board
of equalization by substituting the
chairman OF the board Of tax com.
missioaers for the commissioner IT
agriculture and labor.
The governor states in his veto
message that he believes the board
should be made up Of elective and not
appointive officers and that the com
missioner of agriculture was put or
when the hoard was first organized
for the reason that he was supposed
to have first hand and accurate knowl
edge OF soil and land values.
Senate bill 27l, relating to maxi.
mum freight rates on Ignite coal and
briquettes was also vetoed and the
reason stated was that there was at
present a case in the supreme court
regarding Ignite rates and that the
state should wait until that was set-
tied before making rates.

PAV|NaOf STREETS
A SIMPLE MATTER
Law 10 Clear on Subject: Rests with
Commission and Merchants
Cost Not Great.

Paving is not half SO serious and
complicated matter as people seem
to believe. 1t is simple PROPOSE
ton to beastify and benefit the city,
which lies wholly within the power Of
the city commission and the city
property owners to determine upon.
Shall it, or shall it not he done?
The law which makes this possible
is, in brief, as follows: Article Is,
section 2772, of the rvised codes OF
1905 provides that any city shall have
power to create sewer paving and wa
ter main districts within its limits.
Section 2774 provides that such paw
ing districts shall be in compact form
and include all streets within their
Respective boundaries, and no one
shall consist of only one street by
length. Article 2776 provides that
the expenses of street improvements
be defraed by special assessments.
When such an improvement as paw
ing, or guttcring. ETC.. is deemed
necessary, the city council, or COM
mission in the case Of Minot shall
employ an engineer to make the nee.
essary surveys. establish the grades,
and do all of the preliminary engi-
nerng work TO insure the permanent
cy Of such improvement. Their in
tention is then published twice in the
official city weekly newspaper; if the
owners of any Of the property liarle
to be specially assessed for this I'M
provement are not in favor OF it, they
have IS days after the first publica-
tion of the notice to circulate petit
ton stating their objection and the
grounds for it, which protest shall be
presented to the city council; II the
owners of majority of the property
affected have signed the petition the
council decides the matter; II two
thirds or more deem that the okjec-
tions are we'll founded and give reas.
enable grounds for deferring the work.
the matter is ended, but IL less than
two-thirds take such stand, tho rest
OF the council being favorable to the
continuance the result is the same al
II the owners of majority Of the
affected property had not signed the
protest-the work goes ahead.
1t also hes within the power Of the
owners Of the affected property 10 pc
tition for certain kinds of paving,
that favored by the majority Icing the
kind that must be laid; II there is no
preference on the part of the owners.
the council must determine the kind
Of paving.
A further provision is made that
four-fifths of the cost may be covered
by special assessments to run over
period of years if liked, and one
fifth may be betrayed by general tax
alton; that would naturally result that
| two-fifths OF the cost be paid by the
owners along each side Of the street.
. Or all of the cost may be met by spe-
cial assessment.

Such things are only details and Of
minor Importance. The mair Issue
is and should he for the farmers to
