It is told that certain parties have
bid long prices on some lots over
parties who even had prior claim to
the property, and who afterwards have
failed to make the payment demanded
by the government, giving some trivial
excuse for doing SO. These people
should remember that Uncle Sam does
not do business by guess work, nor
just for fun. A record has been made
OF every transaction Of this nature and
no one need be surprised to see the
strong arm of the law descend upon
these parties in a manner that will
prove beneficial TO their future deal.

condition OF the people financially.
Notwithstanding they have just finish.

which some predicted would bankrupt
the town, there is yet on deposit in
the three banks over a half million
dollars, to be exact 1923 ,S2177. This
certainly speaks well for Ardmore and

Our cotemporary seems to be so
constituted tnat he cannot tell the
truth. The above contains two bare
faced falsehoods. We defy him to
produce any statement made in the
Ledger that will sustain his prevent
ed assertion. In the first place we
never volunteered any statement on
the subject. If the truth-inflationis
of the Dispatch does not know the
difference between an ordained and
unordained preacher, he had better
quit airing his ignorance. The eff
feet of misrepresentation is equally
bad whether it springs from ignor-
ance or depravity. But when, as in
the above instance, the truth is
placed before him, and he wilfully

his selection of counsel outside of the
district attorney.
The next heard of the matter was
in June, 1901, when Mr.. McGee ap-
peared before the board and report
ed that he had argued the case before
the supreme court on the 18th OF
May
The final step was referred to last
week, when the second bill of $500
for services in the supreme court
already specified and paid for before
hand in the first bill-was presented
and allowed.
In regard to this claim. we have
been informed by the district at
torney that he told the board Of
ficially and privately that it was an
improper demand, and should not be
allowed.
We cheerfully give place to the
communication of Mr.. MCGEE which
appears in another column, and
which presents his version of the
matter. We can see nothing there
in to cause us to modify our views
already expressed. We are as much
in the dark as ever regarding the
payment of a fee both before and
after employment by the county
We cannot understand what services
were rendered for the respondent
in the supreme court prior to April,
1900, when the supervisors were not
notified that an appeal had been
taken until February, 1901. We fail
to see that special attorney, even
when regularly employed by coun-
ty, has any authority by virtue of
such employment to hire additional
counsel, and thereby saddle an ad-
ditional fee upon the public treas
ury. We have failed to mention a
number of the sidelights referred to
by our correspondent, for the reason
that in our opinion they are not
material to the issue. Finally, we
may remark, that from beginning to
end of this school tax case one all
important fact seems to have been
overlooked by all the parties who
aided in piliug up this double
shotted cost bill for legal services
namely, that Amador county en-
ploys district attorney at $500 per
year to look after its legal business.
If this one living fact is indelibly
impressed upon the minds of county
officials for their future guidance,
this ventilation of an unpleasant
subject will not have been in vain

Amador ledger., 1902-02-14

THE vagrancy law, in its most
Objectionable features at least, has
been declared unconstitutional. The
idea that man who is found roam
ing from place to place, and having
no visible means of support, is a
proper subject to be landed in Jail,
has proved a lucrative proposition
for constables and justices, and a
costly one for many county treas
uries. To be an idle roamer is not
a very honorable profession, but it
is not in itself criminal one. 1t
is source of satisfaction that this
odious law, so out of joint with the
spirit of our free institutions, has
been knocked out by the courts.
Amador ledger., 1902-02-14
District Attorneys Opinion.

The district attorney has, at the re-
quest of G. L. Culbert, county clerk,
given the following opinion in writing
in reference to certain points raised by
the calling of a special election in SUIT
ter Creek to vote on the question of in
corporation. The gist of the opinion
is stated as follows:
Any person may vote at said election,
whose name appears upon the great
register used at the last general cleo
tion, and all persons who have resided
in the state one year, in the county 80
days and within the exterior boundaries
of the proposed corporation for 80 days
next preceding the date of said election
and who have been enrolled upon the
new register now in progress, Is days
before election.
The mere fact that the board of
supervisors Cancelled the great register
used at the last general election does
not cancel it; where a new registration
pursuant to law is not completed in
point of time sufficient to permit of it's
use at special election or the next en-
suing election, then the register used
at the last general election in any coun-
ty in the state may be used.
The clerk must, before the day of
election, transmit and cause to be de-
livered to the board of election in each
precinct, book of registration which
shall constitute the register to be used
at such election; he shall also cause to
be delivered at the same time five copies
of the index to said book.
There is ample time for every person
who desires to vote at said election to
become enrolled upon the new register,
who is not enrolled upon the old reg
ister as you term it, and l hereby ad-
wise you that it is your duty to post
notices OF the purport of this opinion
in the town of Srtter Creek, and ap-
point sufficient deputies in said town so
that each and every person residing
therein may become enrolled upon the
register, and which will enable them to
vote at said election.
Respectfully submitted.

THOSE FEES FOR LEGAL SER
VICES.

We have taken the trouble to ex-
anime more closely into the matter
of the claims of W. J. McGee, as
special counsel in the case Of Thomas
Conlon, trustee, ct al, VS.. c. L. Cul-
bert, county auditor. 1t will be re-
membered that mandamus proceed
ings were started to compel the
county auditor to add such an
amount to the tax levy for school
purposes as would, when added to
the levy already made by the board,
make up the sum of $6 per census
child. The further we look into
this affair, the more its remarkable
and peculiar features come to the
front. Indeed, the whole history of
the case serves to show how uncere-
moniously the provisions of law are
ignored by officers whose duty it is
to see that they are respected. The
mandamus suit was commenced in
the superior court September 29,
1899. The district attorney is the
legal adviser of all county officials,
and it is his business to defend all
suits in which the county is made a
party, and wherein county money is
involved. The district attorney,
however, says he was not consulted
on the subject of taking charge of
this case. The auditor, seemingly
on his own motion and without first
securing the sanction of the board
of supervisors, employed W. ]. Nc
Gee to represent him in the action.
There was no time of course, to ap-
peal to the supervisors for special
attorney before the superior court.
1t would seem to us therefore the
auditor in employing other than the
district attorney, assumed the re-
sponsibility for the payment of
special counsel himself. 1t certainly
cannot be contended that any coun-
ty officer may hire any attorney
whom he pleases, and shoulder the
payment of his fee upon the public
treasury. In October, 1899, the
writ of mandate was dismissed by
the superior court, the auditor
thereby winning the suit. Then
followed long pause in the pro-
ceedings. Nothing more was heard
of the case until April, 1900, when
the following bill was presented to
the board of supervisors by Mr..
McGee:
To legal services rendered
and expenses incurred in jack
son school district VS.. c. L.
