HEARING ON THREE
bitches YESTERD
Court Rules Favorably on Construo-
ton Of Numbers 20 and 81 While
10 Not Properly Advertised.
WILL MEAN CONNECTING LINK
Number 20 Will Run From Red Lake
Country to Rapid River Furnish
ing Road to Baudette.
APPOINT BOURGEOIS ENGINEER
Will Start Work. Soon-No Surveyor
Yet Appointed for Number al .
Mean Much Rich Land.

BY an action taken in district
court yesterday the construction of a
connecting link between Bemidji and
the north end of the county is as
sured: ' .'z-.. ~. -.
This is because of the appointing of
a surveyor to work ont line for the
construction of ditch from the Red
Lake country to Rapid River.
With every ditch there is built a
road and as the distance between the
places named above is the only one
through which there is no road good
for travel between Bemidji and Bau-
dette, the completion of the ditch
will mean much to the county at large
bringing both ends nearer together.
F.. j. Bourgeois has been appoint
ed engineer by Judge Stanton to make
the survey and to draw, an estimate
on the ditch which will be known as
number 20. It will be about 20 miles
in length. + .,*ts a
The hearing on ditch 10, to be To-
Gated in the town of Northern, along
the Red Lake railroad, was also set
for yesterday. Several persons ap-
peared before the court for the pur-
pose of protesting against the con-
struction of it, but as proper notices
had not been made, it was dismissed.
Quite a large number Of Marshall
county farmers and others, appeared
for the purpose of showing the nee
essity of the building of ditch 81.
This ditch will, when completed, be.
about 400 miles long and will run
through part of the northwest portion
of Beltrami county and some of
Marshall.
The building of this ditch will open
to settlers many thousands of acres
of land, which heretofore have been
worthless. The land has in the past
been so wet that living on it has been
an impossibility, but with drainage
will comprise some of the richest ag-
ricultural land in the state.
Several applications have been
made to Judge Stanton requesting
the appointment as engineer on the
ditch, but as yet no one has been
named. "

titioners of bitches 20 and Fl.

lar r1Ie Il the anti-aiien land bill
Governor johnson has assured the
washington state department that
the people OF California are virtual
" unanimous in favor of this meas
ure. I'm those representations. how
lever. he has certainly exaggerated.
r. is true that the sentiment of the
state Is overwhelmingly opposed TO
Asfatics TO own land. But
the prevalence OF that sentiment
does not imply like unanimity In Ia
yor of a present drastic measure Tor
ending such ownership and at the
same time taking chances OF en-
Ibroiling the federal government with
a foreign power. A question OF ex-
bediency is involved and It appeals
to thinking persons. However, the
Progressiyes are in the saddle. They
insist that the antf-alien land bill
as wen as the rest of the measures
which they rammed through the late
legislature, is legislation for the
people and in accordance with their
demand. But now comes their pet
innovation, the referendum, to make
that bill nudity for more than a
year.
ut appears, then. that n ~ealifor-
MIA the chief use of the referendum
is to obstruct the most cherished
measures of the men who fooled the
state into adopting that instrument,
even though they claim such meas
ures are the very ones which the
people demand. Their pet fad is
certainly doing some marvellous
stunts as a boomerang nowadays"

the enactment of general laws by
the appointment OF various and sun

see that this or that thing is done in
accordance with, the commissions
own views. This kind of legislation,
which is ostensibly for the public
good but which in reality is means
for giving employment to henchmen
and building up the machine OF
which johnson is tool, comes
rather high to the state as the fol

Referendu,,r. a Boomerang.


The referendum proclaimed so
loudly by certain alleged reformers
does not prove itself good thing
in the Accomplishment of reforms,
and in states where it has been writ
ten into their constitutions, it re-
tards rather than promotes reform
measures.
There are present notable in
stances in the state of California
showing how it operates to retard
the accomplishment of movements
through legislation, resorts to it be-
ing for the sole purpose of post
poning the operation of new laws.
The recent legislature there enacted
what is regarded very drastic red
light abatement act. It's purpose Is
to abate the so-calle6 social evil and
it is claimed that an overwhelming
majority of the people of the state
favor the immediate operation OIL
the law. But there are those
prompted by selfish motives who
want the laws enforcement to be
delayed as long as possible, thus CIV
ing the red light districts chance to
continue. All these latter have 10
do is to invoke the referendum ana
unless the governor puts the state to
the big expense of holding a special
election the operation of the law
will be delayed a year. That does
not speak we'll for the referendum as
a means of promoting social reform.
The blue sky law is also held up
by the referendum. Tits said to be
a law to prevent the people from
being duped by fake and crooked
stock companies. If the law is a
good one, there is every reason why
It should become effective at once
instead of being delayed in its OPP
Grafton by the referendum resort SO
that the public may be faxed for at
least year. In this instance the
referendum is to be employed to
keep fake and crooked stock COM
panies alive another year. How
does that, speak for that pet meas
ure2
A third measure in that state of
special interest to all the states Is
the anti-alien land law. A Califor-
MIA newspaper in commenting on
this law says that presumably
it will be made imperative for many
months by that instrument OF popu-
