been passed over One of the first of

believed. The German people have
ceased to begrudge the lavish expendi-
lures of money for the increase of their

PAY OF MlSSIONERS

There seems to be no disposition on
the part of the commission having the
new code of laws in charge, to do any
thing for the county commissioners.
Andrew j. Eckstein of this city has
been working with the county commits
sioners of all the counties in the state
for the purpose of having new law
created dealing more justly with the
pay of the commissioners.
At present the pay is only 50 a day
for the time actually required to do the
sessionwork. Some members do moth
ing but come to the meetings and draw
their money while others have the bulk
of the work to do, consuming much Of
their time for which they are paid
pothing, There is no way by which
estt.ey can demand pay for this, and be-
ing elected to the office they are requlr-
ed to perform the duties ,~-~-
The pay Of the commissioners should
be raised to SIS q day Or there should
be some way of recompensing them
for the time they have to give the
county outside the regular and special

offices Of the county the Office of the
commissioner is as important as any
and it is the poorest paid.
If it is worth while to have commits

they are as we'll paid as the other Off

Some of the papers in the state seem.
to have penchant for accusing the
legislature Of misapplying the time it
has at its disposal. This may have
been true with past years but it is false
at this time. The writer has visited the
capital twice and has watched the
working of that body as reported by
the Journal of the House and Senate
and he fails to see how more could be
done by any body of men. The repre-
sentatives from this county have been
among the most active and their efforts
have been applied along lines that
have been to the best interest of the
state. They are deserving of the COM
mendation of all the people.

too much in politics, although the fea-

public, it is said, that the main pur-
pose is to prevent any state official
from mixing in the choice of county
