TO CUT THE MUSTARD.
THE legislature passed over the gov
ernor's veto, the bill to compel
owners of lands abutting on pub
lic highways to destroy certain nox
ious weeds, if any, growing thereon.
Cnn the legislature compel a man to
go onto land not his, and do the work
that properly belongs to the owner?
If It can, then the days of our boast
ed freedom aro nearlng their end. If
the legislative power Is this far
rcachlng( whero Is its limit? If It cnn
compel a mnn to remove weeds from
the public highway, cannot it also
compel him to remove stones, sticks
or brush from It, Just the same? Can
It not also, following up this asserted
legislative right compel him to plant
rose biiBliPB, ghado trees or shrub
bery along those same roads, to beau
tify them? Could It not go still furth
er, and compel him to maintain the
pulillo highways on which his proper
ty abuts? In the passing of this bill
over the governor's veto, tho legisla
ture did not display any great amount
of wisdom and It will certainly bear
from the farmers on tho matter along
about weed killing tlmo. They would
kick now, but tho shoo Is not rubbing
their corns yet.
Again, to show tho utter Injustice of
the act, suppoBO a mnn should own
Buy half of a 40-acre tract, his half
being a quarter ot a mile long along
tho highway, he would, under this law,
no compelled to look: after tne weeds
on that quarter of a mile of road,
while tho land owner next blm, was
not compelled to nsBlst, though both,
for all practical purposes, ndjolned
tho hlghwny. That law will hold
about ns much water, when it gets in

TO REDEEM THE SHORT BALLOT
PLEDGE.
0s
NE of tho strongest evidences
that tho short ballot movement
is entering the legislative stage
Is the determination of Governor Cox,
of Ohio, a Democrat, to redeem the
party platform pledge. Said tho gover-
nor recently: we must anonsii tne
offices of clerk of tho supreme court
and dairy and food commissioner as
the first step In our short ballot pro
gram. Then we'll submit a constitu
tional amendment to abolish all other
elective offices, except governor, lieutenant-governor
and judges of the su
preme, court and let the governor ap
point men to fill tho places abolished.
The clerk of the supreme court should
bo appointed by the Judges of the su
premo court."
These recommendations, follow in
general,- the program already begun
In California, and recommended by the ,
short ballot committee of tho Chicago
City Club for Illinois and by the New .
York Short Ballot Organization for
Ncw York-
Dh o hasthe long ballot at its
worst, facing its voters with huge
sheets containing upwards of forty ,
offices. Tho recent constitutional
convention failed by a close vote to
shorten tho ballot, but the press and
me puDiie snowed such widespread
disappointment that all three parties
Incorporated Short Ballot planks In
their platforms this year, thus prob-
nbly Insuring legislative co-operation
