State Law Governing Salaries
Of Prosecutors Is Bad and
Local Lawyers Will Ask for
A Change.
STATE ATTORNEYS
NOT PAID ENOUGH.
Thss S a Chance for Abuse
Of the Office-CIaimed That
Higher Salary Would At
tract Better Men.

Local attorneys will probably assist
in the proposed movement to have the
next legislature pass a bill depriving
the prosecuting attorneys of fees for
each fine paid and making the salaries
high enough to induce desirable men
to seek the office.
During the session of the last legis-
lature, such a bill was proposed and
the committee in charge of the meas
ure wrote to every circuit judge in the
state asking his opinion as to what
salary should be paid to the prosecu-
tors of their respective counties.
Judge Fox consulted Prosecutor Jes-
sup on this matter and he recommend
ed that in Wayne county a salary of
$500 or $1.700 be paid.
Under the existing law, prosecuting
attorneys receive salary of $500 and
fees In this county, Prosecutor Jes-
sup states the prosecuting attorney
averages about $1,000 or $1,000 per
year. Out Of this amount he has his
expenses to pay, which amount to a
considerable sum. During the Knapp
trial my expenses amounted to about
$50. I made fourteen trips to Hag-
erstown and trips to other places, then
boarded one of the principal wit
nesses for the state at a local hotel
for an entire week. / did not receive
one cent in fees for my services in this
trial." stated Mr. Jessup.
Evils Pointed Out.
He regards the system of paying
prosecutors fees as great an evil as
paying fees to justices of the peace.
He states that no matter how honest
or conscientious a prosecutor is, there
is always an incentive to prosecute a
case. no matter what it's merits may
be, if there is a chance of getting a
fee out of the accused by his convic-
ton on the offense he is charged with.
The office of prosecuting attorney is
regarded as one of the most important
in county government. In this coun-
ty it is not widely sought after be-
cause the prosecutor does not receive
enough compensation for his services
1t is the general opinion that should
the prosecutorship in this county be
placed on a straight salary basis and
the salary good one, it would be
sought after by the most desirable
class of candidates.

STATE INSPECTOR
COMES HERE AGAIN
Owens Will Arrive Here This
Week and Visit All the
Local Diaries.
TO AWARD CERTIFICATES.
THOSE DIARIES WHICH MEET
THE INSPECTORS APPROVAL
WILL BE GIVEN PROPER REC
IGNITION BY STATE.

State Drug and Pure Food Inspec-
tor Owens will return to this city the
last of this week and will at once be-
gin a final inspection of all dairies in
the county which supply milk to this
city. In nearly every dairy inspected
Mr.. Owens ordered Improvements,
ranging from minor ones to wholesale
remodeling, and he will see how the
dairymen have obeyed his instruction.
Those dairies which he condemned
during his last inspection. will be per-
mitted to sell milk again if work on
the necessary improvements have
been started. Those dairies which he
graded poor on his last inspection
will be condemned if the improve
ments he recommended have not been
made or started.
Those places which are graded
good or excellent on the Forthcoming
inspection will be given white certifi-
Gates of merit, to be displayed in
the windows of the delivery wagons Of
these dairies. BY these certificates it
will be possible for local milk consum-
ers to know what dairies in the county
are producing pure milk.
1t is needless to say that all dairies
which do not obtain these certificates
of merit will be greatly handicapped
as it is only natural to suppose the ma
jority of milk consumers will patron
ize dairies recognized by the state as
producing good milk under sanitary
conditions. To get these certificates
dairies graded under good will no
doubt do everything possible to make
such improvements as will be satisfac-
tory to the state officers.
tor, states that every dairy he has Wis
tied recently Is being greatly improved
and that at the present time the quail
ity of milk being distributed in Rich
mond is at least % per cent better
than sold in this city three months
ago. There was considerable grum-
bling on the part of some dairymen
over the campaign waged by Mr.
Owens in behalf of pure milk but
after these dairymen noticed that Mr.
Owens received the hearty support OF
the local consumers and press these
grumblings became less audible.

RATES TO
Be BOOSTED SOON
Railroads Find That This Will
BE Absolutely Neces-
Sary.
CARRIERS Determined.
SCHEDULES HAVE ALREADY
BEEN PREPARED FOR THE TER
RIToRY EAST OF MISSISSIPPI
AND NORTH OF OHIO RIVER.

There is no doubt In the minds Of
the we'll informed freight officials of
the railroads but that the freight rates
are to be increased in the territory
between the Ohio river and the Can
adian border and the Mississippi river
and the Atlantic ocean on October 1.
1t has been admitted that schedules
have already been prepared by rate
clerks at Chicago and are ready to
be submitted to the interstate COM
merce commission for its approval.
1t has been known several months
by local officials as well as officials
over the line that such a move was
contemplated, but there has been no
direct information as to the time that
the railroads expected to place the
new schedule in force until the last
few days.
While the exact advance is not
known by the local freight officials,
it is stated that it will average fully
10 per cent and almost everything In
the line of freight is included.
1t is predicted that the new rates
will meet with the opposition OF the
interstate commerce commission, but
1t is hoped to Offset this by the argu.
ment that the railroads have not re
duced the wages when all other bust
ness concerns followed this procedure
1t was pointed out by an official al
the local station that the freight bust
ness will be at its height about October
! and the railroads will be in a posi-
tion to enforce the new schedules.
Reports from various places state
that all the commercial bodies are uI
in arms on account of the proposed
increase in the rates. The roads re
port that the increase is a necessity
because of increase in the cost oi
operation. The Pennsylvania road i:

crease the rates on certain commodi.

He May Now Have to Face

Those Men Who Oppose the
Liberal Element in Local
Republican Ranks, May Put
Out a Strong Man.

1t is almost assured that the faction
Of the republican party in Wayne
county which is opposed to the liberal
element of both the republican and
democratic parties. will place an in
dependent candidate in the field in op-
position to Walter S. Ratliff, the re-
publican nominee for state represent
ative. This movement has been on
foot for several days, and. it is under
stood, some of the leading republicans
in the county are behind it. Mr.. Rat
lift has heard of the movement and he
believes that it will be carried
through.
There was some talk of placing an
the ticket with Mr.. Ratliff, but when
1t was learned that such action could
not be taken, plans were at once
formed to have twenty voters sign a
petition to have an Independent can,
didate entered in the race. Just who
this candidate will be has not yet
been decided.
In the event the democratic party
nominates strong candidate for rep

this faction is not depending upon the
democrats to nominate SUCH candi-
date, so plans are now being perfected
to place an Independent candidate in

himself as to how he stands on the
