Frederick Yager VS.. George Yager,
Thos. Frederickson and Gustaye and
Mary Cottel-Suit to recover a one
third interest in 40-acre tract, or
damages in the sum of $500. The COM
plant alleges that on the oath of March,
1899, defendants Gustave Cottel and
Mary COttel were the owners of the
Sci of SW4 section 10 in township s
range 10; on that day they entered
| into contract with plaintiff and de-
PENDANTS George Yager and Thos.

years for S125, giving said lessees the
right to purchase said land at any time
during the term of the lease for $500.
On the 9Th of Decem Der, 1902, defend
ants George Yager and Thomas Fred
erickson, without the knowledge or
consent of plaintiff, procured a deed
for this tract from Cottels. paying
therefor $500. Thereafter plaintiff
rendered to these purchasers $1OO for
one third interest therein, and they
refused the same, claiming that they
are the owners thereof. BY this un-
lawful conveyance plaintiff has been
injured to the tune of $500. Plaintiff
asks judgment that defendants be re-
quired to execute to plaintiff deed for
one third interest, or in default thereof
he have judgment against them for
$500. W. j. MCGEE attorney for plain
tiff.
Amador ledger., 1903-03-13

One law passed by the present
legislature, on the recommendation
of the sheriffs' organization, will
meet with universal approval. 1t
provides that all sales under fore
closure of mortgage must be made
by the sheriff of the county in which
the real estate is situated. This was
the system in vogue formerly. But
for a number of years, the law has
left it discretionary with the SUI
perior court to appoint a commits
sioner to do this work, and pocket
the fees. If the sheriff does the sell
ing, the fees must be paid into the
county treasury. In the course of a
year the aggregate of such fees will
run up to a considerable amount.
In the case of the Moore mine sale,
the commissioner was allowed some
thing like $500, and the county
treasury was not enriched to the eX-
tent of one dollar. Had the sheriff
made the sale in his official capacity,
the whole of the fees would have
gone into the public treasury. 1t is
refreshing to be able to cite this new
law as indicative of a tendency to
reform the practice of diverting fees
that properly belong to the county,
to the pockets of private individuals
as a reward for political favors.

REPEALINe The LAND LAWS.

The senate committee on public
lands has recommended the passage
of bill now before congress repeal
ing the timber and stone act, the
desert land act, and the commuta-
tion clause of the homestead law.
This wholesale restriction of exist
ing methods of disposing of the
public domain has been prompted by
the alarming rate of alienation OF
land from the government of late
years. The startling statement is
made that for the first three months
of the present fiscal year over six
million acres were filed upon. This
rate means thirty million acres per
year. ontinued for five years this
rate would exhaust all the land suit
able for settlement now in the hands
of the United States. 1t is esti
mated that the total area of public
land at present embraces five hun
dred million acres, only small por.
ton of which is available for the
home seeker. Much of this is com.
posed of rugged mountain land unfit
for cultivation, or large tracts o.
desert land requiring a vast outlay
in providing irrigation to bring il
into arabic condition. Under these
circumstances it is contemplated te
repeal all laws providing for the
alienation of public land, except the
homestead law, imposing residence
and cultivation for five years before
patent can be applied for.

Officials who are looking for &.
jump in their salaries as the out
come of the proposed new county
government bill, are likely to be dis
appointed. It is reported that Gov
ernor Pardee is likely to veto it if
it reaches him. Many of the coun-
ties, like Amador, have provided for
an increase of compensation of vari-
Gus county officials, with the clause
inserted that the act shall take effect
Immediately. This is done for the
benefit of present incumbents. The
governor, it is said. is not inclined
to brush aside plain constitutional
provision by affixing his signature
to measure so deiantly in opposi-
tion to the restrictions imposed upon
the legislative body by the funda-
mental law. 1t is really amusing to
note how interested parties chafe
when mention is made of constitu-
tional barriers to this salary grab
business. For Amador county, it is
urged, that if the bill passes, mas
much as the taxpayers of the county
are the parties in interest, the mat
ter should be left in the hands of the
supervisors, without a recourse to
the courts. This is rich. 1t means
that the tribunal established by the
people to interpret the laws should
be ignored in this case, and a body
whose business is on an entirely diff
ferent plane should be left to decide
the issue. The proposition is richer
still, when it is remembered that a
petition has been circulated and
signed by the members of the board
of supervisors of Amador county,
approving the provisions of the bill
as far as they concern this county.
Our esteemed and scrupulous demo-
cratic cotemporary also comes to
the rescue of the ary-expansion
program, by branding the McKen-
ney bill as a good one, using the
stereotyped argument that increas-
ed pay necessarily means better SER
vice and more competent officials.
He swallows the 'take-effect-im-
mediately" clause also. So that his
better-service plea falls of its own
weight as far as the next four years
are concerned. The officers are
already elected for that length of
time; the competency is fixed by the
moral and mental characteristics of
incumbents. How increase of COM
pensation is to command better SER
vice under these conditions we leave
our logical cotemporary to explain.
The mere changing from a fee to
salary basis in the payment of
township officers is not the most dis
couraging feature of the proposed
law. Viewed in the light of an ex-
pertinent it does not amount to
much. But for our lawmakers to
arrogate powers which the people
have in express and positive terms
reserved, is serious matter. And
to endeavor to urge them on in this
course by trying to create wave of
popular approval in defense of such
unconstitutional methods is deplor-
able. Well may we ask, WHITTIER
are we drifting?"
