"A FARMER" writing from Pleas
antvilIe, through our columns this
week, indirectly introduces Mr.. T. J.
West, . teacher, a. candidate for Co.
Auditor. The principal recommends
ton offered IL cheapness Of service.
The remark attributed TO Mr.. West,
that he could perform the duties OF
the Office and pay his deputy for 81 loo
per year." he made In our Office some
weeks since. We believe it true that
the pay Of that Office Is higher than
necessary and just. 1880 per year
We should think al adequate salary.
The Auditor, IL . suitable man for the
place, would not need the service of a
clerk or deputy more than three
months Of the year; bot allow him
help for six months. He can procure
good clerk for $50 per month. $500
will pay for all necessary help; aud
the officer will have . net salary of
81 200 per year-$lOO per month
about $500 per day.
We would not encourage any bid
ding for this OF any other official po-
sition. The compensation should be
such ~ to secure competent and trust
worthy men then let the place seek
the uaan--nO4 the man the place. Let
two or more parties name the best
men they have Tor the place, and from
these let the people choose at the polls
according to the merits OF the men,
and the principles they represent.
Bat never seh the place to the lowest
bidder. An ineotapetent aud unwoY-
thy man might be supposed by him
self and frisads TO possess the required
qualifications, and he able to give
bond, aud be willing TO serve for
half price, not knowing how much
work and responsibility he would
have to carry. He would be the cheap
est candidate, bat In tive end the peo-
ple might learn. II they employed him,
that he w%s An expensive officer.

INprANoLA is in the midst Of great
excitement about the building Of .
proposed railroad from Charlton psn
IndIanola to Des Moines. 6andyville
is equally aroused upon the subject,
and wants the road built through
that town instead of Indianola. A
company proposes to build the road
for bonus OF 100000. Lucas Co.
proposes to raise $4,000 OF the
amount; the remaining $4,000 Is to
be raised along the line-perhaps.
Whether the road is built through
Indianola or through Sandyyille, ap-
pears to depend upon the solution Of
tho question which will give most.
To reach the st. Louis market by o
road that cannot combine with the
east-and-west roads is the object.
This project Is very similar to that
once known in this community AZ the
A. X. Il d. Although we should prob.
ably feel little jealous OF our neigh
bors on the west II we thought their
prospects for success were good, we
hope they will not expend 30 much
time, hope and money as we did on
our project, and be rewarded only by
disappointment and vexation. They
need their road ~ badly as did we ours
