COUNTY ATTORNEYS.

The Butte Miner, Of Wednesday, contains
what We deem . not we'll considered criti-
cism Of Councilman Kennedy's "County
Attorney" bill. The Miner makes objection
to the provision that one-half the salary Of
the County Attorney shall be paid out Of the
Territorial treasury instead Of the whole out
OF the county treasury. The Miner appar-
emily forgets that the salary Of the District
Attorneys at present is paid entirely out of
the Territorial treasury; likewise that Mr..
Forbis's bill makes the same provision - to
County Attorneys. II also overlooks the
fact that the proposed Constitution for the
State OF Montana, which the Miner heartily
endorsed, contains the identical provision
incorporated In Mr.. Kennedy's bill. Besides,
the Miner ought to know that about ninety
per cent. Of oil the business to be transacted
BY the County Attorney will be for and In
the name Of the Territory.
The bill Of Mr.. Kennedy also contains an
other good provision. While 1t provides an
absolute salary for the County Attorney, 1t
also provides that he shall receive fees for
prosecutions In misdemeanos before JUS
tices Of the Peace and the Probate Judge to
be taxed - costs to the defendant In case Of
. plea Of guilty, or on conviction. This will
enable the County Attorneys to appoint
deputies In other towns Of the county than
the county seat, the deputies to receive the
fees; whereas, II the County Attorney re-
ceives only certain fixed sum - compen-
sstion he will not be disposed to appoint
deputies to be paid out Of his salary, and
would be disposed to begin al his prosecu-
lions ct the county seat, sometimes bringing
defendants and witnesses long distances at
the expense Of the county. II deputies can
be appointed at remunerative fees this ex-
pense can be avoided. The bill Of Mr.. For
bis contains similar provision ~ to fees,
but that they shall be paid BY the county and |
shall not exceed the sum of one thousand |
dollars. This would still keep the County |
Attorneys from appointing deputies. or the
presented, We deem the Kennedy
bill the best, although any are preferable to |
The present system.
