A Silly Bill.
Pine Bluff Press : Eagle.

Pine Blum PresS- Eagle.
A bill has been introduced in the
House providing for the abolition of
all official bonds, and making defal
cation in Office a felony. 1t meets
with the strong endorsement of the
Little Rock papers doubtless the
outcome of their agitation OF fthe
question--but this does not prevent
it from being one of the silliest bills
introduced IN the present General
Assembly. The argument brought
forward in support of the bill is that
it is easy for sureties to dodge the
payment of their obligations upon
the bonds Of defaulting officials. and
that If the penalty for defaulting
were made pententlary offense.
officers would be more careful in
handling public funds and less liable
TO appropriate them to their own
use. The supporters OF the measure
lose sight Of the fact that If lax and
wretchedly executed laws make it
possible for sureties to dodge their
obligations upon the bond of de-
faulting official, the same lax and
poorly enforced Jaws will enable the
principal to dodge the punishment
which this bill hopes to prepare Tor
dishonest officials. Were this bill to
become law, men would offer and
at times he elected to important
offices who have no credit, good
name nor integrity, and as they
would not be required to enter into
bend for the faithful discharge OF
their duties, an era of criminal ue-
faleatlous would begin that would
eventually bankrupt halt The cities
and counties in the State. Default
ing officials would either abscond or
stay and fight the law, and with full
ly as much success as the sureties
of ex Treasurer Churchill under the
present law. And what if they
should in every instance be convicted
and imprisoned, would this recon-
pense the people for the funds stolen
or misappropriated? Would few
years penal servitude upon the part
OF dishonest. official satisfy city
or county, or the State, for the loss
Of thousands Of dollarsY
The idea of abolishing official
bonds is too absurd to be worthy of
a serious thought. 1t would lower
The standard of public officials, and
lessen their responsibility, and in no
way rebound to the benefit of the
people,
A bill making IL felony to erase
q name from an official bond, oil for
an officer to approve bond that is
informal or irregular in any way
whatsoever, is what is most needed
for the better protection OF the peo
pie against dishonest anu incompe-
lent officials.
