he caimol. have a ecrlil'ieale of deliii(iiency issued against
him milil six nionlhs (under (he present charier he can
in len days,), and if it is issued he does not havo lo pay 10
per cent, as under f lie old charter, hut 12. Also, under on
present charier a majority oi' lite council can order pave
ment or water or sewer into a street against the protest
of a majority or all of the property owners. Under (he
new charter, if a hare majority of tho property owners
protest it can only he ordered by the unanimous vole of
all seven direcloi's.
Then look at those excellent provisions about fran
ehi.Mes and see how (hu people of the city are protected all
along the Hue.
furthermore, I think any sensible business man ought
lo h salisfied with the fact, which cannot be disputed,
that every city in the United Stales that has adopted such
a charter has found it works first class and with a real
saving in expenses. That's enough for me.

To Tho I'Jtlller:
Tho ,11m Hill method of coining
Southwestern Minnesota, Northwost
orn Iowa nnd southeast corner of
Houth Dakota was to grant to settlor
tho iio of 1C0 acres of land. The
railroad would build a little house,
barn and n shed with a nmnll granary,
dig a woll nnd put In a wheel and
bucket, nnd fence the houso and barn.
Tho house nnd buildings wore group
ed nuar tho center of tho section,
malting four hours In each group.
Tlio Iden of this wan to have neigh
borH near nnd lo create rivalry be
tween carli group, thug securing bet
ter resuItB. Tho terms of tho grant
of the laud to these (ononis was tho
free uso with an option to purchase
within five years at not to exceed a
certain price set nt tho beginning of
tho lease, Tho total terms of tho
leaso and option being eight yearn,
Tho price being net at tho beginning
of tho term thun giving tho tenant
tho benefit of his Improvements nnd
tho benefit of tho increment on the
land.
If some of our largo land owners
would adopt romo such plan with
their unused laudn permitting tho use
of tho Innd for beets as tho monoy
crop, It would help greatly In getting
the needed acreage for the beet fac
tory. Tho ditch company could forward
their water sales by n similar plnn.
This plan settled three stntcs In n
very few years with a contented
people. It will do tho sntno here,
provided a suro money crop llko beets
aro grown. Thono men grow gralu
