CLAIMS FOR ROAD WORK.

The following communication has
been addressed by the district at
torney and auditor of Solano county
to the board of supervisors of that
county:
Fairfield, Cal, January 26, 1905.
Honorable board of supervisors of the
county of Solano:
Gentlemen: 1t has been recently Off
cially called to my attention that many
claims for road work in the county have
been presented by persons other than
those who actually did the work; for in
stance, A will put in a claim for work
done by two teams and four men. This
is not the proper way for such claims to
be presented. Each person doing work
upon the roads for the county should
make his own claim therefor.
l would advise each supervisor to in
struct those working upon the roads to
hereafter conform to this method of
presenting claims to the county.
Respectfully,
T. T. G. GREGORY, Dist. Atty.
In accordance with the above recon-
mendation of the district attorney, l
will, after the February meeting of the
board of supervisors, refuse to issue
warrants upon claims which are not
made out as above set forth.
Respectfully,
BERT SHELDON, Auditor.
The practice above referred to has
been of long-standing in Amador
county. The Ledger has for years
called attention to it, and repeatedly
shown that it was in violation of law.
OF late it has been discontinued in a
measure, but not wholly. The law
requires that every person perform
ing any service for the county shall
present his own claim therefor sub
scribed and sworn to by himself. Nc
man nor officer has the right to
make an affidavit for work or SER
vices performed by another While
the abuse referred to, as far as road
work is concerned, has been materi-
ally abated of late, at the outset OF
a new supervisor term it should be
entirely abolished and the law strict
ly complied with. We mention this
matter now particularly because we
have noticed that the illegal practice
is apt to, and has in fact, spread to
other departments of the local gov
ernment. A bad example is readily
followed. If one officer of the gov
ernment assumes the right to pre-
sent and swear to the claim of an
other party, another official will
argue that he has an equal right to
exercise the same authority. The
argument is unsound. The perpetra-
tion of one illegal act does not Justify
the commission of another; it can
not even be quoted in extenuation
of departure from the strict letter
of the law. Nevertheless the prac-
tical tendency is as we have stated.
The only safe course is to keep in
the middle of the road, and stop this
proxy system of presenting claims
against the county.

From this it will be seen that the ac-
cumulation of silver in the treasury is
getting to be a serious problem. In
value the silver outpoints the gold coin
to the extent of nearly two and half
times against one. 1t will readily be
appreciated how difficult it is to hoard
such mass of bulky coin in the treas
ury safe. The same trouble is expert
enced in all money repositories in the
county, and no doubt to a greater or
less degree throughout the mining Sec
tions. 1t may seem strange that Sec
tion whose principal industry is the
taking of gold from the earth, should
be so Hooded with money metal in the
production of which she does not con-
tribute to any appreciable extent. Our
gold leaves, and is replaced in circula-
tion to the tune of % dollars for every
gold dollar retained. This is a latter
day experience. Years ago silver coin
was the scarce article. 1t was hard to
keep sufficient silver in circulation to
meet the demands of business. The
same policy of shipping silver from the
U. S. treasury to any point in the
country free of charge, in order to get
it in circulation, was pursued then as
now. But the bulky coin so shipped
soon found its way back into the treas
ury through the medium of the post
offices. Every person wanting a money
order would pay for the same in silver
rather than gold, and there was no
other recourse for the postmasters than
to send the silver so received back to
the treasury. With the era of banks,
however, all this has been changed.
Money is shipped in the form of ex-
change, with the result that gold pro-
ducing community is kept overloaded
with the bulky white metal.
