rant for Senator Trout.
SANTA CRUZ, CAL, April 6.-Since
his return from the Legislature, Senator
D. II. Trout of B builder, who represents
jointly Santa Cruz and San Mateo coun-
ties, and holds the position of Deputy
County Assessor. has been subjected to
some criticism by his constituents for the
part he took IN the reduction &C salaries
by the passage of the county government
act. Auditor E Martin yesterday refu sed
to draw Trout's warrant for services as
Deputy Assessor, and sought an opinion
from District Attorney Lindsay.
The District Attorney held that in the
absencs of direct law or constitutional
provision upon the subject the common
law rule should guide; and that the COM
mon law plainly pointed out the incom-
patibility of one person holding two
offices.
Mr. Trout was appointed Deputy As
SCISSOR in March 1885, and was elected
Senator last November. The deputy's
salary is 500 month for four months of
the year, payable at the counter of the
County Treasurer upon warrant drawn
by the Auditor.

tirely self-supporting?
From 1883 to 1889, the appropriations
from the taxes collected in the State
| Treasury for the support of the penIten-
tiary averaged over 100000 year.
"From 1889 to 1898, they averaged
s37. 800 a year, a change of policy IN ac-
cordance with the injunction Of the CON
stitution being made in 1889.
From 1898 to 1895, the appropriation
averaged $4,000 a year. And Tor the
wear 1896. just closed, the penitentiary
has paid all it's expenses, having placed
in the State Treasury A DOLLAR Oh,

1896.

in the Treasury.

self-gratulation that the penitenuary Tor
the first time in its history Of more than
a quarter OF a century has been able 10

Il desire through you to convey to

OF this department of the States work.
He always bore a good part of our bur
den. and inspired a wise courage to con-
quer our difficulties The credit OF sue
cess belongs to Governor Carr and his
administration.
Il wish to express sincere appreciation
of the kindly service of the Treasurer
and his subordinates, especially of the
pay-master, Maj. Martin, who has been
uniformly prompt and very accommodate
ing.
