Some people are saying that the
special committee making an exam
ination of the books of the county
treasurer. are spending too much
time over the work. We say no, and
no, emphatically. If from their work
they are able to suggest some means
whereby the county may inaugurate
a new system of bookkeeping. espec-
tally in the office of the county treas
urer. the money will be more than
well spent. We shall anticipate a
very clear and thorough report of
their work when 1t is finished. from
the committee.

We believe that a great reform
could be worked out in the office also
of the county clerk and recorder. The
law does not provide that an elabor-
ate examination of hls books should
be made each year. 1t does provide.
however. that each month n detail
ed report of all monies collected and
all other business involving finances,
should be filed with the board of
county commissioners. This is not
ana has not been done by any clerk
for ten years past or perhaps at any
time in the history of the county.
The clerk has kept all the money he
has received until the end of the year
and then turned back whatever he
thought fit of what was left over to
the county. The office of the clerk
and recorder is great money earn
ing department of the county govern
ment What right has the clerk to
keep the money earned by that office
for a period of year and then turn
over what has been left. There is
room for radical change in the con
duct OF that particular branch of our
county government.

Two accounts of the representation
of the cases before Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty, of rail-
road discrimination, We're read by US
last night. The one published by the
Post pretends that George ]. Kindel
was bested at his own game of fight
ing the railroads. The article pub
Eshed by the Times sounded fair
and impartial, because it published
both sides of the argument. which
the Post did not do. The report of
the latter was unreliable and color
ed in support of the railroads. The
Post took delight in making it ap-
pear that Kindel had been made
monkey of by the combined legal tai
ent of the railroads. when the oppo-
site was true. The Post. in those
things which it desires to color for
personal benefit is the most uncon-
scionable of newspapers in all the
west.

We repeat what we have said be-

the government will and perhaps it

1t has been the Judgement not only
of ourselves, but others who have
had any experince in the conduct OF
books and accounts that. the treasur-
er of this county should place the
bookkeeping of his office largely in
the hands of one individual and that
individual or clerk should be in
n room by himself to correctly per-
form his duties. 1t stands to reason
that no man can successfully take
charge of the multitudinous duties OF
tho treasurer's office and do correct
bookkeeping. For years the en-
rloyees of that most important office.
have had to wait upon the citizens
in paying their taxes. look up dis
puted tax accounts and do much other
work. foreign to the real duties of a
bookkeeper. charged with the onor-
Gus work of that office. The work
would be greatly simplified II one
man and an assistant could take
charge of the books. while another
performed the office work.

Who the devil is Attorney Shway-
der? Whoever he is he took abundant
authority upon himself at the hearing
before the Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Prouty. He made an agree
ment with the attorneys of the Rio
Grande. Midland and Colorado and
Southern railroads, by their attor-
neys, to continuance of the cases
that had developed upon the western
slope of freight discrimination, un-
til a decision had been reached upon
the point involving the Jurisdiction

indefinitely set aside. The article re-
garding Shwayder and his connection
with the cases pending is indefin-
ite, but reading between the lines.
we believe he is the attorney of the
Merchants Traffic association. which
association this paper denounced as
a creature of the railroads more than
n month ago We believe that this
fellow has sold out and that the
agreement was part of the game. as
it was believed when their represen-
tative came to this city and solicited
the Chamber of Commerce of this
city to join issues with the Merchants
Traffic association of Denver, in the
suit against the railroads.

Traffic association is other than a

amusement that the agitation for
the repression OF the fraudulent
manufacture of wines is spreading
from France to Germany. The
fatherland has a very bad name for
the making OF wines which are wine

French papers, there are several
firms in Germany which make a spe-
cialty of compounding chemical mix
lures, by the aid of which the flavor
OF any wine can be Initiated so close
ly as to deceive any but the most
skilful connoisseurs. The base OF
all these fabricated wines is said
