AN IMPORTANT STATUTE.
(From Lawrence Daily Journal.)

In our scheme of state govern
ment there are no more important
officers than the county commits
sioners. Probably more looseness
and disorder, more peculation and
fraud, have characterized this office
than any other in the state. These
men have seemed in many instances,
to regard themselves, not as the
creatures of the law and servants of
the people, but as above all law and
authorized to act according to their
own arbitrary whims. At all events.
the legislature, last winter, found
complaints coming up from every
quarter in regard to the short-com-
ings and derelictions of county COM
nlissioners. An act was accordingly
passed, voted for almost unanimous
ly in both houses, to put these Off
GERS under some sort of healthy re-
straint, and to teach them that they
are not above the law, but under the
law 4; not the masters of the people,
but the servants of the people. II
may be found upon page Al of the
laws of 1875, and went into effect on
the 18th day of May, 1875. We
would call the attention of the peo-
pie to it throughout the state. 1t
should be vigorously enforced ev-
eryWhere. County commissioners
have trampled under foot the laws
in Kansas about long enough. The
people are burdened to-day with
taxation by their stupidity and dis
honesty. In some counties they are
still making reckless and illegal ex-
penditures to add still more to the
burden. The people themselves,
through their chosen representa-
tives, have provided the remedy.
Let it be faithfully and unsparingly
applied.
Be 10 enacted Gy the legislature Of the
state Of Kansas:
SECTION l. That every person who
is either elected or appointed to the
Office of the county commissioner in
any county of the state of Kansas,
who shall wilfully violate any pro-
vision of law, or fail to perform any
duty required of him by law, shall
be adjudged guilty of misdemean-
or, and upon conviction thereot
shall be fined in a sum not less than
fifty nor more than one thousand
dollars, or by imprisonment in the
county jail not less than thirty days
nor more than one year, or by both
such fine and imprisonment; and
shall, before entering upon the du-
ties of his Office, execute to the state
of Kansas q bond for the faithful
performance of the duties of his of.
flee. in penal sum of not less than
One-fifth Of one per cent. of the to.
tai value of taxable property upon
the tax rolls of said county for the
year prior to the date of his taking
his Office but in no case shall any
such bond exceed ten thousand dol
lars, said bond to be signed by the
principal and two or more good anG
sufficient snreties, who shall &C
knowledge the execution thereo
before some court having a seal, OIL

or some Justice of the peace, notary

pay AS much as he was offered for
clerking. lie tried to resign, but
the commissioners couldn't see it,
Was IL not mistake in the leRisia-
ture when they cut down the salary
below a point that would command
a competent man? There is such u
thing as being ''penny wise and
pound foolish" We had Seventh
Day Advent tent set up in town
early in the summer. After spend
ing a month and failing to get q
congregation, he published a chal-
lenge Ia the clergy. The Campbell
lite preacher accepted, and they did
some very small debating TO small
audiences. Nobody killed, no blood
drawn. The other churches go on
just the same. LAZARUS.

and Mrs. r. Sanborn, a large piece of home

exhibited fine specimens of edge TOOLS Thers
was the usual amount of fancy articles, quilts,

There was no horse trotting, but theiboys ran
a race, which was won by Willis Whitten of
Baldwin, Wallace Shaw being second. The
usual number of hucksters were about to ply
their business, and one fellow was turning an
honest penny with wheel of fortune and use
less trinkets. It's better than the pool busi-
ness, but not quite SO fair as square gambling
with cards. Quite number of young men
will be reminded by aching heads to-day that
they played the fool by taking too much hard
cider.
As whole the exhibition was gratifying
success, land will serve to awaken new inter-
est in farming. Quite number of Portland
gentlemen were present. A fine trotting park
could be cheaply constructed on Gen. Mattocks'
farm, and it would be a location of easy access
for a county fair ground. The Saco River
House was we'll patronized as it deserves to be.
