delve through the pages of the books
of the county treasurer and their cost

four hundred dollars. The same
work would be accomplished by an
expert accountant in third of the

what the citizens appointed to serve
on this board receives.
And these instances might be mul-
tiplied indefinitely. The officers are
not to blame, it is the system. Every
public act costs more than would be
paid by privte individual for the
same service. We venture to say
that very competent men could be Sc
cured 20 perform the lties of every
officer of this county, for much
smaller sum than is now paid.

The same sum of money in many

public benefits, far beyond anything

legitimate channels too. and that is
the serious part of the matter. If it
WAS wasted there might be some means
adopted to cut such waste off, but
whatever has been expended has had
the semblance of justicfiation.
1t is the system under which our
county governments in Colorado are
conducted that is RESPONSIBLE for the
extravaganza. The law provides
that certain milage shall be paid to
the sheriff aud other officers for
travelling expenses. This milage il
far in excess OF the actual cost OF
travelling. yet it is paid, and legiti-
mately so, because it is the law,
