cial. News was received here yesterday
of the fact that the Standard Beet Sugar
company has applied for the appointment
of a receiver and that one had been ap-
pointed This was no surprise for the
creditors and others interested here. but
was another blow to a great industry of
this country. About 100000 worth Of
claims against the STANDARD Beet Sugar
company. for sugar beets delivered TO it,
exist in this, Lincoln county. and the
growers in most instances have either
expended large amounts on these
crops or have obligated themselves for
considerable amounts to pay the heavy
costs of raising the beets Considerable
luminosity exists against the Standard
Beet Sugar company for the delay in
payment and the failure to pay at times
! promised, and now the turn which the
anair takes. The people here believe that
the appointment OF a receiver was not
necessary.
The fact is the failure to pay is almost
I the undoing OF many a small farmer, and
that intense bitterness toward the Stand
ard Beet Sugar company, which perpe-
trated the deal upon them. exists. They
allege that the company has played false

The Cost of County Government.

1t is we'll to impress upon the
public mind from time to time what
it cost to run the local machinery OF
government. Few people realize the
amount of money that is raised from
all sources to meet the expenses OF
Amador county. Property holders,
of course, know from experience
that of late years there has been a
gradual process of increased assess
ments, and at the same time not a
corresponding decrease in the tax
rate. This resnIt is brought forcibly
to their mind when they make their
annual or semi annual pilgrimage
to settle their bills at the tax col
Iector's office, finding as they have
been in the habit of doing, that it
usually takes more coin to settle the
claim than it did the preceding year.
Still, this fact. significant in itself,
does not give an adequate idea of the
vast sums expended annually IN
moving the governmental machinery.
10 bring this forcibIy to the atten-
tion of the people, we have compiled
from the auditors books the follow
ing table showing the revenue each
month from all sources for the year

The Calaveras Prospect suggests
Leonard S. Calk1ns, of the Nevada
Transcript Miner, as an available
candidate for the republican nomina
tjon for congress in the first district.
Mr. Calkins, however, in his editorial
columns announces that he is' not
candidate. and strongly favors W. +.
EngIebright of Nevada City for the
nomination. Mr. Englebright is
mining enigneer, and thoroughly
conversant with the mining interests
of the district, having spent many
years in the banner mining county of
the state-Nevada. The republicans
of Nevada county seem to have
centered on him, as the most suitable
man to present to the convention,
and will energetically press his
claims from now on. With the with
drawn of our present efficient con-
gresham, j. N. GiIlett, on account
of being a candidate for governor,
the mining section is certainly en-
titeld to first consideration, and
Nevada having long held the foremost
place in gold production, it is claimed
that she has solid ground to expect
recognition at this time. However,
there will probably be a number of
aspirants for the honor. The district
is strongly republican, and the
nomination by that party is conceded
to be almost equivalent to an cleo
tion.

Good Roads.

A State convention recently met in
Sacramento in the interest of good
roads. How to solve this question is
probably among the hardest pro-
blems, not only in California, but
also in every other state in the Union.
1t is not only a knotty question to
day, it has been the same in genera
tions past, and no doubt will con-
tinue to be so for generations to
come. We take no stock in the
solution of this matter by politicians,
and it Is safe to assume that most of
those who assembled to discuss it
we're of the political, if not of the
office holding class. Among other
recommendations on this proposition,
they resolved that system OF state aid
should be inaugurated in this state,
similar to the plan tried in some of
the eastern states, with, it is claimed,
marked success. That is to say, the
state should furnish a large portion
of the money to build the main
thoroughfares IN all the counties, If
not actually take charge of the con-
struction and maintenance of such
highways. This would mean a vast
accession to the army of state officials,
and also an immense increase in the
expenses of running the state govern
ment. 1t would mean a dual set of
road otficials-one under state and
the other under county control. We
take little stock in the new tangled
method. We do not believe under
the conditions prevailing in Cali
fornia that it would work an i'm
provement at all commensurate with
the increased expense. 1t is some
what remarkable that no mention was
made of the most Objectionable
feature of the present road system of
the state-namely, the supervision
and actual working control of the
roads In the hands of the supervisors.
The body that passes upon and allows
the road bills is composed of the
Identical men who contract the bills
for road work. In plain work, the
supervisor of each district as road
commissioner, incurs all the expense
of road maintenance and thereafter
with his brother supervisors passes
upon the bills which he has contracted
IN this behalf. We are not arguing
against the practice in this conuty
particularly. The supervisors of
Amador county are fully UP to the
average of those in other counties as
regards ability and integrity. We
simply refer to the system as a bad
one. Good roads at any practicable
cost may be looked for in vain while
such system is in vogue. But this
crying eviI-one which has been cry
ing in clarion tones for redress
Throughout the state for many years,
and crying in vain-was passed over
in silence by the recent convention.
This fact tends to discredit this
particular move in a worthy cause.
Good roads are the mere dream of
visionaries under existing clrcum
stances.
