EDITOR HERALD In your issue of
today under the heading Of " Terms of
County Officers you published the
provisions of section 3l4, Hills code;
also the act of Feb. 4, 1886, relating to
the term of county officers. The sup
position being that section 3l4 of Hills
code is merely section 3,l53 of the code
of 1881 placed in HilPs code by Mr..
Hill, and without being re-enacted by
the last legislature; which is no doubt
correct. Section 3,l5l, aforesaid, hav-
ing been repealed by the act Of Feb. T.,
1886, it is concluded that the present
county officers hold until the first Mon
day in March next.
A correct solution Of the question be-
ing a matter Of grave public concern,
we take the liberty to herewith submit
few suggestions, with the hope that
the bar of the county will sufficiently
investigate the matter in order that a
correct conclusion may be reached, SO
that both the outgoing and incoming
officers may unite in such action a'
will be legal and for the best interests
of the county.

1886, and that the legislature did not
re-enact it i'm the form of section 3l4,
Hills code, is it not possible that there
are some other statutory and constitu-
tional provisions which may regulate
the matter, and which, when construed
together, may justify another conclu-
sion than the one expressed in your IS
sue of today?
STATUTORY PROVISIONS
Section 2 Of the act Of Feb. 4, 1856, is
a. follows: "That all district, county
and precinct officers hereafter to be
elected in this territory in pursuance of
law, shall hold their offices for the term
of two years from and after the first
Monday in March next succeeding
their election, and until their success
Ors are elected and qualified"
This section then clearly provides fOI
a term Ot hCO ye0rs, which begin on the
first Monday in March and end on the
first Monday of March two years later
CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS
The constitution, section Ia, article
xvii, provides: All district, county
and precinct officers who may be in

STATEMENT

Conceding that, with the exception
of the provisions hereinafter referred to
relative to county superintendent and
county assessor, the legislature
has enacted no law relative to
the term of office of county and pre-
cinct officers since the act of 1885. Then
at the time the present county officers
were elected, the only legislative pro-
visions governing their term, its dura-
ton, beginning and end, was the act Of
February 4, 1886; which, as stated, fixed
the term at ttr0 years, to begin the first
MondQu of Narch and end two years
thereafter. There was no legislative
enactment which provided that the
term for which they were elected
should exceed two years; that 1t should
be term of two years and two months
or for period Of twenty-six months.
Nor was there any legislative prOvis.
ion authorizing the present officers to
begin their term prior to the first Mon
day of March. But it is well known
that they did begin their term on the
second Monday Of January, 1891. They
did this under section a. article XVII
of the constitution above quoted. But
this provision of the constitution doe
not expressly state that the term Of the
present county officers shall begin on
the second Monday Of January, A. d
1891; it merely expressly states that the
county, district and precinct officers IN
office at the time Of the adoption Of th'
constitution, shall hold their respective
offices until the second Monday IN
January, 1891, and until such time a
their successors may be elected anC
qualify. This section certainly doe
not change or add to the length Of tn
term of the incoming (now present
officers. 1t merely, by implication
changed the time at which their tern

should commence, to-wit: to com

who naturally examined it infinitely.
To her surprise she found that anoth-

Holding up the two-fold missive to
the light, she deciphered the address
on the one which was stuck to her

the friend to whom she wished to

THERE Is much too little chivalry
among lawyers for the good OF their
profession. Worse still. what there
is Is discouraged and discredited as
much as possible. A lawyer who re-
CARDS his legal training as imposing
upon him duties to prevent or expose
wrongs is too commonly considered
visionary and quixotic. Possibly this
may sometimes be the TACT Even
then it Is better than policy OF sell
fish Indifference that may prove more
profitable and more promotive OF per-
sonal ease. 1t needs brave heart
and all the encouragement that friends
can give to sustain lawyer who has
undertaken this difficult task. and
this at least should not be withheld
from any who seem disposed to recog-
nize that they have duties to the pub
lie as well as to their paid clients and
to their own purses.

Monday night from Bright's disease. Hoey
was born in Ireland 81 years ago and be-
gan life in this country as a newsboy At
an early age he was employed as express
messenger, and worked his way up until he
was chosen president of the Adams COM
pany in 1888, after serving for some time
as its general manager. He was removed
a year ago by the directors because of his
connection with deal in which the COM
pany is said to have paid S950,OOO for
property worth $150,000 that balance, ac-
cording to the charge, being divided be-

the company.
