INCREASED OFFIcIALISM AND OF
FIcIAL EMOLUMENTS

The last legislature not only swelled
the total appropriations but created
great many new offices, created new du'
ties and increased official duties, that
will result in permanent taxes being In
CREASED. Those who remember the last
Marion county campaign will recall that
all the candidates said they would ask no
increased compensation. All the legin-
latlve candidates declared they would
create no new offices. Yet the leglsla-
ture did raise tho salaries OF u great
many county officials, tried TO raise the
salaries Of others and created many new
Offices. Take one instance; each county
has a county road engineer at salaries
ranging from $1,000 10 ts0O0 year, The
Legislature before had made the office Of
road supervisor elective by precincts. Be-
fore the first supervisors could learn
their duties and the Law could be put In
effect new county office IL created and
a road engineer IL put over them.
The result OF this cannot be ioretold.
For one effect. II tho people elect good
road builder. his authority is taken from
him aud he is relieved OF control and
responsibility over the roads OF his dis
trlct. II an incompetent man has been
elected he will shirk responsibility upon
the county road engineer and the
people will not get better roads.
The last Legislature passed an act which
transforms the county surveyors office

ment and meager remuneration 10 one

The publications Of the facts has had
the effect Of stirring the present state
Land Board, Of which Gov. Geer IS
Chairman, TO prosecute the men whose
,evlioence caused the loss Of the State
school Fund Of over $50, 100.
The State Land Board held meeting
Thursday upon the return OF Gov. Geer
and issued the following statement Tor
the public, which speaks for Itself
"Tbe public should not become inn

II IA asserted that there appears to be
a shortage or deficit in said funds dur
inc the year ending December 81, 1894,
in the sum OF S30,049, which appears
to be in no wise accounted for. For

Mr.. Davis disappeared Immediately
upon the hrst public intimation that

Here are few points the people Will
do well TO bear in mind:
Attorney General Blackburn has been
reluctant TO take stepsto prosecute, and
said the District Attorney must bring
the suits.
The present board say Davis was only
the clerk Of the old board and is not res
ponsible personally.
The pre- ent board declare IL is not
their duty to prosecute their predecessors
but that il was made the duty Of the At
torney General.
The old Metschan-M MoBride-Davis push
have been moving heaven and earth to
get control Of the next Republican state
convention and make Metschan candid
ate for Governor.
II GovernorGeer and the present state
officials Wish TO succeed th' mselves they
must convince the people that they are
i'm earnest about recovering this money.
There must be actions and tangible cash
results.
