The Auditors Office.
PRACTICAL STATEMENT FROM PRACTICAL
MAN.

A PRACTICAL STATEMENT FROM A PRACTICAL
MAN.
JACKSON, MISS. January 10, 1873.
Hon Mr. Seabrook, Chairman of Committee
On Retrenchment and Reform:
SIR-In your report to the Legislature
there seems to be some misunderstanding OF
nv statement in reference to the Auditors
office, and as the same, in my opinion, Is
possibly miscOnStrued, aud does the office al
Injustice, | will now give you in writing
the sum and substance of what | said upon
the point referred to in my report.
[ Intended to state that the fees of the
Auditors office IN 1876, in my opinion,
amounted to between ten and twelve thou
sand dollars, and that about One-half OF that
amount, or more, was paid for additional
clerical force in the Office.
In 1877, did not know sufficiently to state
the amounts received, but that, in my opn
ion the fees of the Office did not p0yf for the entr0
labor in the office; and further, tina if the
Chancery Court had not appointed the
Auditor as Commissioner to sell the lands
in the de rec of j. Green VS.. Liquidating
Levee Board, the fees Of the office, | am
well satisfied, would not pay the clerks
hired by the Auditor in 1877.
In reference to the lands in the Levee Dis
tric+ which, in 1876, was the principal In
come to the Auditor, the same fees from
that source in 1877, did not more than pay
for the labor, in my Judgment. required to
keep that part OF the business up.
1t would be great Injustice to the pres
ent incumbent, to judge OF the amounts IN
the past, compared to the receipts OF the fn-
iure, as the Mole of the tax lands in 1876
was in the Auditors office and he received
one and Il hall dollar for each deed and five
per cent. commissions on all lands redeem
ed. And now. for the same labor, the Au-
ditor receives fifty cents for each deed.
| In the Levee District the Auditor is still
entitled to one and a half dollars for each
and five per cent commit ) ions and in con-
sequence of the decree of the Chancery
| Court in the case stated above, the fees from
this source will not pay for the labor, in
my judgment.
| did state also to the cOmmi tee that in
my judgment, the Auditor should be al
! lowed two additional clerks, and that the
fees for deeds should be one and hall
dollar each.
| By reference to retrenchments of former
Legi, latures, from 1873 to 1877, on Auditors
office, you will readily see that, to attempt
retrenchment again, would be to cripple the
Auditor in clerical labor to such an extent
| that he cannot carry on the business Of his
| office as it should be done
The Auditor was made ec-0Jici0 commits
sioner of Levee Board No. l, and Liquida~
| ting Levee Board, which increa ed the labor
of the office considerably, with olly one
perquiste to carry the same on, which is
twenty-five cents for dividing bonus.
Respectfully.
JNO. III. ECHOLS.
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1878-02-03

The law, of this county, as ii now stands,
is as good as it can be made,
Tor ir protects the landlord aud the
laborer as we'll as the merchant, besides
the people have become accustomed To it
and L know of no law that would improve
it. unless. indeed, 1t be to repeal it entirely,
and in its stead pass an act repeating all
eXem ption laws OF whatever kind new in
existence, that would probably do more
towards making every man honest in Mis-
sissippi, than anything else.
Your friend Voz Populi says he is farmt T
and not poor one either, he makes his own
corn and meat and no doubt he is III favor
Of the repeal of this law, for then no poor
man could do anything to support himself
and family, and would have to work for
whatever Mr. Vo1 Populi and bis friends
choose TO pay them, and the position would
then be changed. and they would be the
masters of the situation instead Of the mer-
chants, who are now the masters and nabobs
! as Y 0r P0puli has it. But where in the name
| OF sense is all their money they make out OF
| it? Show ME the rich merchant in MissIS-
| sippi. and for every one that has made Il
! fortune since this law is in existence, | will
| guarantee five who have become bankrupt.
| Really, Mr Editor, | think that our Legs
! lature had better let well enough alone, and
not spend their valuable time patching up
| and adding 10 a law TO which we have al
become accustomed. and which does Justice
TO all, and unGer which we all can live.
ReSpe ctfully, MERCHANT.

We have intimated heretofore that
there was no wisdom in cutting down the
salaries of our State officers below just
and living rates The Legislature has
laudabIy responded to the demand of the
public for retrenchment and reform, and
they have found in THE CLARION cheer
full and willing coadjutor in this line, but
we question the wisdom of pushing the
policy of retrenchment to the extent Of
jeopardizing the efficiency Of the public
service.
Elsewhere we give an intelligent state
ment from Mr.. Echols relating to the
Auditors Office. Mr.. Echols has been
connected with this office, more or less,
for number of years, and is a good and
impartial witness of its workings, having
no connection with it now, or interest in
misleading anybody in regard to it. The
last Legislature kicked all the fat of the
Auditors office in the fire. They cut off
many of its perquisites, and greatly re
duced the fees which have ruled there,
until thew brought it down strictly to
hard pan and hard work. They certain
ly struck the quick upon salaries upon
its hard worked attaches. They are not
inclined to complain, however, because
they appreciate the pressure of the times
and realize the necessity of retrenchment
in every department Of our Government
But they do think the Auditors office
mas been sufficiently shorn.
AS to the idea of destroying the per-
quisites of the Office, or raising in ad
vance a sum sufficient to cover extra
work, it strikes us as an impossible thing
to do and at the same time give fair re
quital for the labor performed. No man
has any idea how much or how little
extra work may be brought into the
office in the course of a year. A
stipulated price for this work might
| be too much or far too little.
1t might be wholly inadequate
to pay for the labor necessary, and there
fore, seriously mar the service. The bet
ter idea is to let the perquisities stand,
and if there is no extra work the State
loses nothing, and, there is large
amount it will be paid for pro rata by
the parties in whose interest it is done,
and not by the State. 1t is not fair tC
the State to have to pay too much fol
this service. 1t is not fair to the incum
bent to require him to have an amount
of work done for a price wholly INSULT
cient to pay for the clerical labor nee
essary to do it. The Office is in faithful
hands and We bespeak for the deserving
Auditor with his faithful corps of assist
ants just and liberal treatment from the
Legislature.
