Two bill« relating to the'*collec-
tion of road taxea, which have been
signed by tbe governor and are now
law, are house bills 108 and 205.
The former law requires the county
to levy a road tax of not more than
10 mills on the dollar, based on tbe
previous year’s assessment. Tbe
fund thus created is to be expended
under the direction of a county
road tn an ter, who has luperyieion of
the super visors.
Upon the petition ot 12 freehold­
ers of any road district, approved
by the roadmaster, for tbe improve­
ment of any road, tbe county oourt
shall conaider the petition, and, if
approved, ahall aak for sealed bidr
for the fierformance of tbe work
and furnishing of the material
needed, and let the contract to tbe

that tbe oourt may reject any and

THE EVOLUTION OF LANGUAG
Tbe incongruitie« and disad­
vantage« of polyglot parliament
have been strikingly illustrated of
late. In the Austrian Reichsratb
a riot followed the attempt of a
Csecii member to make a speech iu
iii« native language. In tbe Brit­
ish Parliament an Irish member
wbo endeavored to deliver au ad-
drese in Gaelic was called down by
the «|H>aker ot the House of Com
mon«.
