Clare County Drain Matters to
be Regulated by Board of
Supervisors.
Puts a Stop to Any Further Work on the
McEwan Ditch,
The drain bill as published in these
columns February ?4th was signed by
Gov. Warner last week and is now a
law. It applies to the* counties of
Clare, Isabella, Saginaw, St. Joseph,
Cass, Gratiot, Shiawassee, Ottawa,
Barry, Montcalm, Van Buren, Alpena
Berrien and Cheboygan and it is now
in order for the Clare county general critic to pass judgment on the
senators and representatives of each
Of the other counties as he did in the
case of Clare county.
Under the present law the drain
commissioner is the servant of the
board of supervisors. They can direct what shall or .shall not be done
by him and no important drain can
be started without their consent.
This new law puts a stbp to all sur-
veying or any other work on the much
talked of proposed McEwan ditch.
But from $140 to $175 has already been
expended In surveying, etc., and it Is
possible that in some form or other
the matter will be brought before the
board of supervisors at the October
meeting. The fact is the project has
been bitterly opposed by a very large
number of farmers and only a very
small part of what was prqposed will
ever be dug. In particular the branch
that was to follow the course of Stony
Greek nortn along tbe Grant-Sheridan
town line to affect south Arthur and
Hatton will, according to many, never
be dug.
Some four years ago it was proposed
to take out the logs and otherwise
clean the McEwan creek, but that
was never done. Last summer Fred
Hudson dug eighty seven rods of ditch
on his farm on section twenty fonr
In Grant at a cost of $130, but It
lackEd sixty rods of reaching the McEwan creek and the sixty rods required to be dug would do but comparatively little good to the land
through which it passed, but the
owner of the land started to dig it
and right there the controversey, that
has gone on all winter, started. The
sixty rods in question, it in estimated,
can be dug for $100. This, along with
some very necessary cleaning of the
McEwan creek and the settlement of
the bill of $150 or more would7 apparently secure a solution of the whole
problem. About half a mile below
where tbe branch ditch for the McEwan Is 'desired, W. H. Virtue, dur
Ing a period of quarantine, cleared
half a mile of the creek and some others have done likewise, but the accumulation of logs and other debiris at
various points dams the water back
to the injury of considerable portions
of land. As a whole the creek has
considerable grade and If the stream
were kept clear it would wash a course
deep enough to drain sufficiently very
nearly all land along its banks. Some
few small branches may sometime be
dug but neither the Courier nor the
SENTmsit can hope ever to get any
revenue from printing drain legals for
the McEwan creek ditch.

Successful Applicants,
The Clare County Board of Examiners met in Clare Saturday, they having looked over papers of thirty-five
applicants at the regular examination
held the previous week at Harrison.
This is an unusually large number,
which is probably due to the fact that
the June examination this year has
been cut out. Tbe board are greatly
encouraged at the results and the exceptionally high star-dings which the
applicants earned. Following are the
names of the successful candidates,
twenty two in all, but of the balance
of the class several wrote for standings on second grade and one on first,
the remainder of the subjects to be
written upon at the August examination:
Sftfwnrt omi.rlA AIpy   Art-.ihno    HlaVn

Harper, Martha McNeill, M. Ethyl
Pratt, Addie Rogers, Effie Riegle,
Leo Treanor, Richard Woods, Mae
Berry.
Even with this large class, were
there no foreign teachers in the
county, the supply would be short.
All but three of the above named
teachers have positions, and already
the commissioner has had call for two
of them. The next examination in
Clare county will be held at the county
seat on the second Thursday and Friday in August.
Plan to Save $20,000.
Lansing Journal.
Senator Doherty is not in favor of
a state prison for women at Ionia or
any other place. He doesn't think
such a bill should pass the legislature.
Speaking of the Detroit house of correction he says:
"The state could save $20,000'a year
in mileage by "having a centrally located state prison where short term
convicts could be incarcerated. As
theiaw reads no prisoner sentenced
to less than six months can be sent to
a state prison. So the cuvtume is
popular of sending every short term
prisoner to Detroit. For that trip
the officers of course, draw their mileage."

Some   Changes   Necessary v for
Relief of the Legislature,
Lansing, March 20.1905,
One of the seventeen joint resolutions that have been introduced air
this session of the legislature proposing submission of amendments to the
constitution, is one in the house, by
Mr. Lord of Detroit, providing for a
general incorporation law for cities
and villages. It cannot be acted upon
in time to be submitted to the voters
at the approaching spring election;
but it is highly desirable that something should be done along that line
to relieve the legislature of the constantly increasing flood of special legislation) not only in charters of incorporation but in many other classes.
The "State of Illinois put into ber
constitution thirty years ago prohibition of special and local legislation of
many classes, and provided general
laws instead, and if Mr. Lord's resolution does not include such prohibition, it should. The man who shall
prepare for our state a practicable
scheme of wide application for such
purposes will do a great service.
# * # * '
It is felt to be absurd that more
than a third ot all the bills offered
for consideration should be of a private and local character, for purposes
that could iu large part be as well
attained by the operation of general
laws already existing or that might
exist, and which not only involve
great expense in their enactment into
laws, but which afterward for all
time lumber up the law books with
countless statutes, and^ burden the
courts and the people in their administration. Of seven hundred and nineteen bills introduced in tbe first
two months ot this session, two hundred and fifty-one are private and
local bills, Of these, seventy-eight
are to provide or amend municipal
charters, and for erecting or changing
wards, townships, precincts and
school .districts. Then thirty-nine
more are to authorize various municipalities to bond themselves for local
purposes; and forty-eight others
provide far various county and
municipal officers, or prescribe
duties and compensation for such
officers, Add to these thirty more
for incorporation of religious fraternal and husinesss associations, and
we have one hundred and ninety-
five bills ot these classes, almost all
of them unnecessary if we only had
the genernl laws under which these
local interests could be regulated,
with constitutional prohibition of
the needless waste. We have now
much of the provision in general
laws, but not the prohibition of the
eternal duplication and variation and
unification of such provision in local
acts. The enumeration of bills is
from the calendar of March 10? and
the days since have added their full
quota.
# * * *
Nor are these all. * The perpetual
tinkering with the game and fish
laws goes on with seventy bills for
such purposes in the first two months,
about half of which are of local application. They include six for protection of rabbits in certain counties;
one to protect frogs and one to protect angle worms, mosquitoes and
other bugs, in the interest of the preservation of birds and fishes. There
had been six general and seven local
bills for primary voting; twenty-one
relating to drainage and sixteen to
highways, a good proportion of
these are local in their scope. These
local measures have interested pushers behind them, and first attention
is compelled for them. Why and how
is it that the legislature may be m
two months with scarcely a half
dozen acts that the people at large
know or care anything about to show
for it is fully explained by these con"
dlttons, The members are not to be
blamed for this. They are understood to be here to serve their constituents carrying out their wishes, and
that is precisely what they are doing
in all this, and it can never be retne*
died until there- is change of policy
commanded in the constitution.

A bill of considerable importance
that has appeared ih the past week is
the drug clerk's bill, resulting from
the convention of their association in
Detroit lately, and intended to check
the dangerous license with which
poisons are dispensed, and the alarming prevalence of the drug habit by
which "dope" victims are multiplying in all our cities. This is a habit
more threatening than the liquor
habit, jrjore iSnsidious, more uaeseap*
able for those once In the tolls* more
torturing and more deadly. Along
with Id maybe classed the cigarette
evil among boys, for which a half
dozen bills have been Introduced, and
