The carrying of arms and the indis-
criminate firing of guns in Kingman
must be stopped no matter if the Of
fender be of high or lowly degree. The
sooner the officers make an example
of the gun man the better will it be for
the community. The custom of carry
ing guns has resulted in several XII !
ings in this county that could have
been easily avoided and the way to
avoid it is to arrest every person car
rying a concealed weapon, impose a
heavy fine aud confiscate the weapon.

LARGE FEES FOR INouIsIToss.

a report just made shows that the
tax inquisitor, employed In this coun'
ty, made the sum OF S7,07309 in the
past year. There are but comparative
ly few men in Springfield that make 80
much annually.
The Democrat few weeks ago laid
down the proposition. that this work
should be done by the county auditor
who draws salary In the neighbor
hood Of $500 net, per year, or after
his expenses for clerk and deputy hire
are paid. This sum is amply sufficient
TO pay him for the work which the tax
iuquisitor does and for which the counr
~ for the year just passed, has paid out
the sum of nearly $1,000.
Most people will be astonslIcd TO
learn that the tax inquisitor employed
by the county commissioners draws so
much money per nnnum as the above
figures show. II will tend to open
their eyes to the expenses Of the cotln-
IS Offices aud to the need and necessity
for curtnilinent of those expenses.
The Democrat has been M earnest
and sincere champion Of the move
mont, which has spread all over the
state, for Il reduction IN tho salaries of
over-pnid county officers, aud II takes
this opportunity TO again call attention
to tho matter and to lay stress upon IT.

The tax inquisitor had even a greater
snap In Summit county than In Clarke.

county treasury for the year amounted
to Slo,260.20. And IL all the Demo.
crat hears is true, the plans are now
being laid for even IL greater graft
this year, at the expense Of one Of
Akrons leading Industrial enterprises.
1t is believed that the inquisitors are
merely waiting until tho Legislature
adjourns, when danger Of amendment
or repeal Of The Inquisitorlnl law shall
have been pnsscd, before beginning
another Zee grabbing crusade against
