pensive ana more Convenient form

would begin by reducing the Cover
nor's salary, and wound reduce sa.-
aries Of State officers as low as
would be paid for like valuable
services by a good business firm.
Regarding tie Supreme Court, /
would, (ss has been before suggest
ed) constitute our Supreme Court
from four District Judges.
l would have the Legislative de-
partment convene on the second
Monday in January, and hold
term Of four weeks. l would have
the Secretary Of State cause to be
printed, in pamphlet form the Con-
st;tulion Ct the United States and
tile State OF Nevada, and furnish
each Senator and Representative
upon the convening OF each Legis-
lative term with copy.
L would have County Judge be
ex-oliicio Clerk OF County Court. l
would have a County Judge with
Concurrent Jurisdiction with Dis
trict Court in Civil actions where
amount sued for did not exceed, |
say $500 and give him criminal
jui isdiclion Of misdemeanors. 1
would have him be Judge OF the
probate business, and for the afore-
sad business, | would have him
paid by fee OF ell cases coming be-
,oYe his court. AS we are now situated
we must postpone probate business,
lwalng the arrival of District
Judge at The County Seat TO the
great disadvantage Of deceased es-
ates.
would also have the County
lodge be Chairman OF the Board
# County Commissioners, that the
aid Commissioners might Dc guild
d by legal talent and practicable
Ieco'um. l would have said Judge
aid per diem service as County
Commissioner.
l would have seven other !
'ounty Commissioners elected in {
ounties having over a certain
alue OF assessable property, and two
in counties with
ssser assessed value OF property,
ley also to be paid for each day,
lille going to and from the County I
eat and in discharge of the duties +
their Office and mileage. Plenty q
{ good men will fill this Office for
ne advantages they hope to have /
ON an ecomical management i
County affairs. 1 would have e
he County Judge as Chairman OF Il
lie Board hear and determine all b
asses Of applicants for county aid, {
al give him power, il necessary 10 e
Ike testimony to determine the n
use, and if found practicable to q
lake applicants earn part of their
wing. This should always be the S
ork of one man to save the exper- Il
IS OF the Time of the Board and | n
Jerk OF Board. is
l would have the Sheriff or G.
equity attend Commissioners II
ouit and get days pay and fees p
+ services performed, if any. ia
l would make a fee Office OF "
e District Attorneyshlp. The e.
0unty School Superintendent l 81
ould make a salaried Office, and -"
ould allow said School Superin- tt
ndent to hold any other county pl
lice except Treasurer, so as to al /.
W sparsely populated counties or
hers TO select the most fitting man >,
r that position, although he might %
a candidate for another more lu- y
alive office. .,

the salary of Treasurer. &C
