City market last week was the
big sales of heavy feeders. IL

Communicated

see it stated in your last issue
that there is being circulated a
petition to present our county
court for an appropriation Of
money to clear the mud and
willows out of the drainage
ditch along the Charlton river in
this county. Now if the people
residing within that drainage dis
trict consider themselves bene-
fitted by that ditch they are the
ones to look after and keep it
open. The people at large are
not interested in that project,
and, speaking for myself / am
no more interested in that ditch
and the care and unkeep of it
than | would be in a project to
cultivate an orange grove on the
same location. The theory and
construction of the ditch was at
fault in the first place and 1
don't consider that any one has
been or ever will be benefited
by it in the next thousand years.
Owing to the topography Of the
country through which the ditch
runs, the same causes that filled
it at this time will fill it again if
it is opened up now. And if it
were opened and kept open it is
wholly inadequate to do the
work for which it was designed.
The very idea of a little ditch
that a rabbit might jump carry
ing off the water that sometimes
comes down that bottom from
one to three miles wide and
from one to five feet deep is pre-
posterous. 1t amounts to no
more than a mole run would. A
ditch twenty feet deep and two
hundred feet wide might handle
all the water that comes down
that river if there was some
place other than Missouri river
to empty it into, and then it
would be kept pretty busy some
times. To work to its full ca
pacity ditch should cut off the
bends. paralleling the general
course Of the river without
touching it at any point. You
know that a chain is only as
strong as its weakest link, so a
channel for water to run is no
wider than its narrowest part.
We people on the upland are not
opposed to those residing on the
bottom doing all they can do to
keep the high water off their
farms, provided we are not tax
ed to do work that will benefit
no one as we see it, our tax be-
ing high enough now and getting
higher every year.
Taxpayer.
Editorial comment:-We have
not seen the petition, but if it is
to ask the county court to ap-
propriate money from the gener-
al revenue fund for any purpose
of the ditch mentioned, it is a
waste of time. The court would
make no such appropriation if it
had authority to do so. The law
as we understand it. makes it
the duty of owners of land next
the ditch where an obstruction
may form to remove such OBJ
struction and keep that part of
the ditch in such condition as
will permit free passage of wa
ter which includes removing
willows and dirt above general
level of the bottom. If the own
er of such land fails to do as the
law requires in this regard, then
we are informed, the county
court may order such obstruc-
ton removed and charge the cost
to the land owner, to be collect
ed as other tax. No owner Of
property not in a drainage dis
trict need fear having any tax to
pay on account of a ditch OF
that any tax he pays viii be ap-
propriated by the court on &C
