Since the advent of the present
century the expansion of the bank
ling interests has been something
phenomenal.
Not less than II, 900 banks have
been organized during this com

have added nearly $4,000, 900, 600 to
the total of deposits.
| The combined resources of the
banks for this same period of time
has nearly doubled. At present it
IS figured at nearly $4,000, 600, 900.
There ore $s.7o5, 900 people whose

SO per cent of the prisoners ar

New Office Suggested.

It has been suggested that the
legislature should provide for an
assistant district attorney in each
county, for the reason that Grim
inal business is now SO large in
this state that the prosecuting
attorney has SO little time to de-
vote to each case before trial.
that he is badly handicapped, in
that he has not often an oppor-
tunity to properly question his
witnesses. The defendant usu-
ally employs the best counsel to
be had, who is thoroughly famil-
lar with the facts as developed
at the committing trial and is
also we'll acquainted with the
men from whom the trial jury
will be taken, and can use his
privilege of objecting to those he
has reason to believe it would not
be to his clients interest to let
serve.
It might be we'll to have the
county attorney, who advises the
Board of Supervisors, to also act
as assistant district attorney, at
an increased salary, with fees in
cases where convictions were
had
However, it might be a better
plan to abolish the office of dis
trict attorney altogether, pay the
county attorney a fair salary to
act as legal adviser to the Board
of Supervisors and to prosecute
all criminal cases in the circuit
court with fees in cases where
sentences of guilty were return
ed, making the emoluments of
the Office sufficient to secure first
class lawyers. The costs TO each
county would of course be some
greater than under the present
system, but the resultant good
would repay the outlay many
times.
