TIE ASSESSMENT BILLS.


The assessor Of Marion county has
been charged with conducting his
office 10 an extrayagspt manner. But
the caoe has not been proven against
the assessor.
The county court could not zee the
illegslIty Of assessor Cofiey's bills, and
has allowed his bills in full at this
term. Those billa appear TO US TO be
higher than they ought TO be but Il
may be the fault Of be system and
knowing Mr.. Cofiey to be . palms.
taking and conscientious and compet-
ent official, we are not prepared to
condemn hlm unheard. He has
promised us a statement of the matter.
We do not believe that his Office has AZ
much money Ia It as is charged aud IL
seems 10 have great deal of work to
do. Offices cost too much and will
have to be trimmed down by the uext
legislature All the offices are costing
too much, compared TO tue ability Of
the people to pay, aud compared to
what men are Masking lu other lines Of
business and employment. But an
official ought TO make more than q
private citizen gels for his time. He
has q great public responsibility and
when he gets through with his Office
life has to pick up his living where he
left 1t off when he went into politics.
But he also gains a prestige and an
education while in Office that enables
him to pick up bis living more easily
after he gets out Of Office than he did
before, in many instances. 30 he
ought not to get much more than be
would be able 20 earn out Of Office,
The fixed charges Of Office holding are
becoming . great burden ou the peo.
pie and 1t ought 10 be reduced. But II
ought TO be taken of all around, not
taken out In abusing one man and
shielding another. The JoURNAL
wishes 1t understood that what Ia said
on this subject Is not for the purpose
Of rejecting on any individual but to
arrive at what is just and fair, all
things considered. We shall dIscuss
Mr., CofIey's statement when mAbe
