that the most public good can be
derived f,om the amount Of taxa-
!ion paid. Hence, the ORGANISE
ton OF an efficient police jury Sys
tenn is enc CT great interest to thI
people, and one which the State
Legislature "annot ignore or bass
lilly prepare, but which should
haze the Sriicua consideration OF
every member nj that body. Two
principal considerations are TO be
found in the number ct members
composing Police jerry, and the
manner Of their selection. In
many of the Northern and West
ern States similar bodies, contain
but three members, who serve
from three to SIX years, one of
whom goes out every year or two
years as the case may be. In
this State. such number OF mem
ih.rS would lie sufficient. IN no
case should there be more than
five. which would be amply Suffi-
Gent to folin Il competent bOly
to properly attend to all the bust
hess of the Parish. Now as to
selection of the members.
They should be appointed by
the Governor, subject to confirma
ton of the Senate, and should he
rotated in Office SO as never to
have d jury composed Of all new
men, inexperienced III the duties
incumbent to their POSITIONS il
Office.
The principle Of clecting Police
Jurors is not Il good one, for
va.ioua reasons. Police Jurors
should be composed Of substan.
tlal citizens. men who have expe
fience in financial affairs, and
men who r not likely to be dis
veItest from the paths Of duty
and justice. Such men have no
inclination to 60 before the mass
eS as candidates for such posi-
TONS. ail will not submit their
names to be Used foy sucI, Il uur>
pose. Consequently, as expert
ence has shown, tine and again.
the persons chosen are selected
:nore because OF their genial dis
positions, their capacity 10 tell Il
good joke. their ability TO treat
literally in the saloons and their
utter want Of knowledge in the
business they are called upon to
contract.
The position Of a Police Juror
is one Of great responsibility, aud
he, whoGilS Snch il position Just
~ and honestly is a public bene
factor anT d-serveS the applause
of the tax payers. Proper men
will not be elected : they may and
can be obtained by Guoelaatoilal
