why is it that the county com
missioners do not proceed with town
ship organization ?"
This question was propounded us
recently, and we answered that We
did rot know.
We advise the commissioners to
meet as soon as possible and proceed to
I'll the requirements of that law
The people by their votes said they
wanted the change made. and the
commissioners have no alternative in
the strict line of their duty but to 60
ahead and organize the precincts. II
matters not TO the commissioners as
to what their opinions Of the Law
may be, SIS to its c0nstitUtionality OF
as 70 how expensive 1t will be. 1t does
not effect their duty nor lessen their
responsibility. They are not the
proper judges Of constitutional points,
and should not presume to say that
the voters ofths county were ignorant
of the thing they elected and did not
know what they we're doing. II is
fair, generally, to give people credit
for voting intelligently.
We do not want to be understood
as finding fault with the commission
ers, for so far as it affects Us We do not
care whether the county is organized
under the new law or not. We simply
speak of the plain duty of officials to
carry out the law in the discharge OF
duty regardless Of the advice of any
body.
/ The commissioners should begin
the work, and then If any one desires
to stop them it will be an easy matter
i TO do 90 until the courts pass on itl
validity.
