SHERIFF'S PROFIT MAY BE CUT
Chamber of Commerce Committee
Seeks to Save $4,000 Year.

SEATTLE, Wash, NOV. 2o.-f the
plans now being scussed by the
legislative committee of the chamber
of commerce are put into execution
sheriffs in all counties in the state,
where there is a large population, will
be put on straight salary and whatever
profit tlefe is IN feeding prisoners
and all fees which these sheriffs now
receive will be turned into the treas
uaries of these counties.
At the meeting of the committee
yesterday afternoon, George B. Cole
was present, and speaking directly in
the interest of King county taxpayers,
urged that the committee take up this
matter.
Other members of the chamber pres
ent Joined in the discussion and while
the committee did not report to the
chamber meeting this afternoon, it is
given out that it is seriously consider
ing the draft of such a bill to present
for passage at the next session Of the
Legislature
Under the present state law, the
sheriff of King county receives a salary
of $4,000 a year and in addition is
| allowed to feed the prisoners being
held in the county Jail, for which the
| county pays him 40 cents a day per
capita.
In the arguments presented to the
committee it was shown that the profit
| in feeding the prisoners foots up sew
eral times the amount of salary the
position pays and has a tendency to
cause cheap food to be furnished.
The recommendation to the commit
tee was that a bill be drawn which
! would provide for the payment by the
county of a sheriffs salary in King
county of about $1,000 a year and that
| the feeding of the prisoners be done by
| the county itself, using one or more
of the TRUSTEES in the Jail to cook and
serve the food as is the custom at
| present.
1t is also planned to have included
in the bill a provision that every sort
of fee which the sheriffs now collect
| and appropriate to themselves be
turned into the county treasury of the
county he is serving and that no emol-
ument other than the straight salary.
as fixed in the bill, be allowed.
! While it will require one or more
meetings before the details of such a
bill can be worked out, it is said that
the committee is unanimously in favor
of it.
In King county it is said that such a
bill would make a difference of from
$4,000 to $4,000 in the revenues of the
Office, which the sheriff now gets. II
is believed that the bill should be
made to apply to King, Pierce and Spo-
kane counties at least, and it may be
determined to have it include all the
counties in the state, the salary to be
regulated by the population of the
county or otherwise, as may seem best

GRAIN RATE POINTERS.

A series of interesting and valuable
experiments regarding the actual cost
of the transportation of grain have re-
Gently been made by the Intercolonial
Railway of Canada, and the results are
extremely interesting when compared
with the rates paid by the grain pro-
ducers of Kansas.
The tests were made and placed be-
fore the Canadian parliament with
view to showing what the building of
the Grand Trunk Pacific would mean
to the immense wheat-produeing
areas of the Northwest. The Inter
colonial is road of heavy grades, ne
cessitating expensive operation of
trains, and the results would be better
upon a road of medium grades.
The tests showed that the Intercolon-
ial can haul wheat over it's entire
length, a distance of 828 miles, for only
2.27 cents per bushel Applying this
rate to the 1900 miles of the proposed
Grand Trunk Pacific, and it is estima-
ted that the cost rate will be less than
ABB cents per bushel from the wheat
fields to tide-water.
In Kansas the railroads charge nine
cents bushel from Concordia, Salina,
Mcpherson, Newton or Wichita, along
Kansas City a distance of approx
mately 200 miles.
According to the figures produced by
the Intercolonial, the actual cost of this
transportation ought to be only little
more than half a cent a bushel There
probably ought to be a little added for
terminal charges. Kansas railroads,
figure that they must pay interest on
an excessive bonded indebtedness
which was created without the road re-
ceiving value therefor, and interest on
a vast amount of watered stock. These
and other fixed charges which by rights
ought to be eliminated, are what help
railroad companies to make a big show
ing of cost of transportation. Those in
charge of the operation of the roads
are compelled. by the owners to meet
these fixed charges" How long will
the people of Kansas stand this sort of

HARRIS OF VIRGINIA AND
KANSAS.
IFrom the New York SUM-

IFrom the New York Sum-
Kansas, of all states, once sent
Confederate veteran to the senate, not
a drafted man who never smelled pow
der but real soldier, who had been
chief ordnance officer of the divisions
of Hill and Rhodes in the Army of
Northern Virginia. He is now the can
didate of a great many Democrats in
Kansas for president, and the state
convention, which meets at Wichita
today, may be instructed to present the
name of William A. Harris at st. Louis.
Times have changed wonderfully when
a Confederate soldier can figure in the
role of ''favorite SON. of one of the
great parties in Kansas, but it must
be admitted that Harris, of Virginia
who was sent to the senate as sue
cessor to William A. PETER by the
Farmers Alliance-Harris was a fam
Gus breeder of shorthorns-proved him
self a worthy representative of the
people of Kansas. They must groan
when they think of the descent from
Harris to Burton, who has been SEN
fenced to a term of six months in pris-
on for grating" Although of Popu-
list origin, Mr. Harris turned out to
be a level-headed. conservative, self
er associated with fantastic legislation
and when he addressed the senate it
was as an educated man who felt his
responsibility. Senator Harris enjoyed
the confidence of both William MeKin-
ley and Theodore Roosevelt. In fact he
was very near the top of the list of
Democrats whom they trusted implic-
lily. Mr.. Harris left the senate two
years ago a poor man. During his
term of six years his interests as a
farmer and stockman had suffered by
his devotion to the public business, and
that was why he has SO often been
mentioned of late for place on a fed
eral commission.
But much as William A Harris en-
joys the respect of all men. and con-
spicuous as he is in Kansas as the
leader of the conservatives of the Dem
ocratic party, the presentation of his
name for president at st. Louis would
not be taken seriously. He would get
complimentary vote from his state
and there the matter would end The
Democratic party in our day may nom
mate a southern man, but never, we
believe, a Confederate veteran. Such a
candidate would make a bad run in
Kansas, honest, able and clean as he
might be. The revival of war memories
would inevitably operate against him.
For the same reason he would be a
load on the ticket as a candidate for
vice president The southerner who
may receive consideration in the ma
! tiOnal convention viii be a man of ster-
ling ability like Bailey. of Texas, born
since the war. The Democrats, we fan
cy, will go to Illinois or Indiana for
their candidate for vice president in
July. Locality more than men will APP
peal to them, for they will be after the
| deciding electoral votes.

PAvING I.A,V REvIsIoN.

A lot of this talk about too much
paving would be forever husned if
the legislature would pass new and
improved law regulating paving.
| What is needed is q. law relieving the
city at large of all. or nearly all, Of
the expense which it now has to meet
every time the council agrees to con-
struct strip Of pavement. Wherever
a street intersection or alley intersec-
ton has to be put in the city at large
pays for it. 1t also pays for all the
grading. the rolling. the eatchbasins,
the vitrihed pipe for securing proper
drainage, the crossing plates, and then
if the city happens to own property on
the street to be paved. it has to stand
/ its due proportion the same as any
owner of abutting property.
| This is too much of a burden on the
city at large. It makes pavement too
cheap for the abutting property, which
gets the most benefit. It tends to q
too rapid extension Of paving-more
rapid than the city can afford No city
of the size and resources of Topeka
can afford to pay out from st25,00O to
$4,000 a year for pavement, when 40
per cent of this sum has to be made up
by general tax on every property own
er in the city limits.
In many states the law requires that
the abutting property not only pay for
grading, catch basins, etc, but for
paving the street intersections and
alley intersections as we'll. The injus-
tice of the Kansas methods is illustrated
in the recent case of East Eighth ave-
nue.. where the city engineer mas de-
termined that the only way drainage
can be obtained which will protect the
pavement from damage by water is by
sewer half a mile long and costing
several thousand dollars. The city at
large has to pay for this sewer, which
is something the law does not contem-
plate.
By putting a large portion of the ex-
pense of paving on the property own
ers, the tendency to overdo the paving
business will be at once checked.
While changing the paving laws. the
legislature would well devote some at
tention to the question of repaving.
The city ought to have some right to
determine when a pavement is worn
out, and ready to be replaced. AS it is
now, a worn out pavement may lay on
a street for years; it may become ut
terly beyond repair; it may become
dangerous to traffic, and cost the city
a lot of money in damage suits, but
the city has no power on earth to com
pei the property owners on the street
to repave. If the city has to be re-
sponsible for the condition of its
streets, it ought to have some authori-
ty in beginning and carrying on re-
pavement.
