stunned its sessions today as 10 why the

600 a year In previous hearing the
counsel Tor the committee produced
letters from pOlicy-holders Of the Mu-

one New York City poliCy-holder wrote

his policy i'm 1876 drew a dividend of
5000. but that the dividend had been
gradually cut until i'm 1903 the policy

The last legislature passed a law
fixing attorneys fees in probate
case. For the first $1,000, the law
yer for the administrator is allowed
seven per cent, and 4 per cent on
the next $4,000. The sliding scale
falls to less than l per cent in es-
tates where the amount involved is
large. This law, while it deals lib
orally with the attorneys, is hailed
as beneficial enactment generally.
1t takes it out of the hands of the
presiding Judge to fix the value of
the attorneys services. Regardless
of party fealty, or individual favor
itism, all attorneys are placed on an
equal footing.

Our Sutter Greek cotemporary
figures out that the board of super
visors is democratic, because the
Dispatch was selected as the official
organ for one year. Why our CO.
temporary should rush to such a
conclusion on such grounds we are
unable to understand. The fact is,
the board is neither democratic nor
republican. John Strohm was elect
ed as an independent, on a ticket
placed in the field as opposing the
democratic nominee. He holds the
balance of power. If he had used
his power as member of the board
steadily in the interest of the demo-
cratic party, there might be some
basis for the statement that we have
a democratic board. The first vote
he cast was for a republican chair
man of the board, W. NJ. Amick.
This was Indicative of his willingness
to throw his weight with the repub-
licaus, and it would, we believe,
have turned out that way, had his
views and inclinations been respect
ed to any reasonable extent. If the
republicans wanted his vote on GER
tain questions, it was policy on their
part to concede some points to him
in return. Any party counting the
favor of a nonpartisan member, must
calculate that it is perilous to re-
quire the deciding factor in any issue
to do all the conceding. 1t is be-
cause of this spirit, that the print
ing business, as far as the board is
concerned, went to the official mo-
nOpOly organ-a monopoly which is
getting to be so patent and intoler-
able that it is drawing down adverse
comment from all sides. Still we do

Four surreys, eight horses, who

At the very gay load they carried that

A fine bakers dozen as will be seen; 3;

To gather around the bright burning

And welcomed thei1 neighbors, so

They tell it yet and dream in their

The tables we're spread with viands
so fine,
And each one ate on, regardless of
time;
After the feast they marched down
Cne line,
Took in the town till sun did shine.
They gave each member a fine sere-
made,
And then all went for fine prom
enade.
On the restaurant they then made a
raid,
But drank nothing stronger than pure
lemonade.
They arrived at home when the sun
was high,
Gave the camp yell and also sigh,
To think it was over, wonder why?
Pm sure the poor horses would never

THE INCORPORATION MOVE.

The movement for the incorpora-
tion of Jackson seems to have been
dropped indefinitely. A committee
was appointed about three months
ago to look into the matter, collect
data, and report to meeting of citi-
zens to be called for that purpose.
The committee consisted of five,
namely A. Ginocchio, B. F. Taylor,
E. II. Harrington, Chris Marelia and
D. B. Spagnoli. They held one or
two meetings, at which it was evil
dent that difference of opinion on
the main question existed among the
members. Also the matter of ex-
pense came into the discussion, the
committee being absolutely without
funds to meet any expense. AS we
understand, it is doubtful if the COM
mittee will ever be in a position to
report. From present outlook it
would be double report, the ma
jority favoring incorporation and
the minority against. Why this
divided condition should be allowed
to block the matter altogether we
do not understand. Any how, it
seems likely that the Incorporation
movement, if pressed to an issue,
will have to be started anew.
The fires we have had this week
serve only to accentuate the neces-
sity of incorporation. The town has
escaped serious loss because of favor
ing circumstances, as well as good
generalship in fighting the flames.
With stiff breeze blowing in almost
any direction, with the frame fire.
traps the flames had to feed upon, a
widespread disaster could hardly
have been avoided. Incorporation
will not prevent accidental or incen-
diary fires it is true, but it would GER
tainly help matters in the district
now so thickly strewn with inf1am-
mable shanties in the rear of SUBJ
stantial brick business blocks. There
is nothing now to prevent the re-
building of similar wooden struc-
lures. With a city government
ordinances might be passed and en-
forced prohibiting the erection of
such fire traps within certain de-
fined limits. 1t would be hard
ship, perhaps, to condemn the
shacks now standing as a menace to
the safety of the business blocks;
certainly it would not be any in
fringement upon any vested right
to prohibit the rebuilding of such
structures, after their removal by
fire or otherwise The safety of the
community at large would be sub
served thereby, and incorporation is
the only practical plan of securing
such protection.
