NEW RULE.

An addition has been made to the
general rule of the FL Paso and
Southwestern TO the effect that IL at
any time an employe gives an order

ployes' wages by outside parties.

JUSTICE COURTS ARE
TOO COSTLY.

wv US IL.
According TO the report OF the clerk
of the board of supervisors of this
county the justice courts of the coun-
ty for the year 1907 cost the taxpay-
ers more than 1000. This is an
enormous sum OF money to be abb
sorbed By those who earned the fees
! in the local courts for one year. ASIDE
, from Bisbee, Douglas and Tombstone
there is hardly another precinct in
the county having population of one
thousand. The expenditure of this
amount Of money as fees in the adj
ministration Of our local courts should
be sufncient to convince the people
who are called upon, to foot the bills
that the law which permits such ex-
travagance should be repealed. This
paper, before the meeting of the last
legislature. directed attention TO the
enormous cost of the justice courts OF
the territory and urged there should
be legislation which would prevent
such an expenditure in the future. A
bin was introduced providing that
precinct officers should be placed on
salary, but it failed of enaction. Ac-
cording to the official statement in
this county the justice courts are a
growing burden on the taxpayers, the
amount for the sustenance in 1907 be-
ing many thousand dollars more than
for 1906.
There is no reason why precinct of
ficers and deputy sher,ffs who are
called upon to perform duties in con-
nection with the local courts be al
lowed to draw such an enormous sum
from the county treasury in addition
to the fees they receive in civil cases
and from petty criminal cases where
those charged with violation of the
statute pay their fines and the accom-
panying costs.
We have no quarrel with any Of the
precinct officials who accept all the
fees provided by law and the board of
supervisors is powerless in the mat
ter of allowing bills when they are.
properly authenticated. The trouble
is in the laws which permit such enor-
nous pay for service srendered
There are two remedies for this con.
d!tiou; one is to put the precinct Off
Gals on a salary and another is to re-
peal all the laws which provide for
the county paying any fees in misde-
meanor cases. That is the law now
in cities; a city case does not make
the city liable for any fees and a |
similar law relieving the county re-
sponsibilit a, for fees in misdemeanor
cases would result in a great saving |
without, materially effecting the en-
forcement of law.
The time has come when the people |
of Arizona must demand reform IN |
the matter of the enormous amount Of |
money paid in support of the local
courts of the territory

Y. M. c. A. OPEN HOUSE.

DOUGLAS. Jan. 9--tspeciaD-
The regular Saturday night open
house at the Y. ". {. A. this week
will be for the beeGfit of the boys OF
Douglas, instead of the men, although
the mel. are welcome.
At all of the previous meetings for
the men, especially when boxing and
wrestling were the features Of The
evenings entertainment, the smaller
boys have been very anxious to get in,
but were excluded owing to the great
numbers in which they came and the
fact thai the building was filled to its
capacity with their seniors who were
in attendance. A big crowd has been
about the doors on these occasions
begging for a chance to get in, and
Secretary Eastman, n order not to
seem to work a hardship on the small
er members, has given over Saturday
night for their special benefit.
There will be several juvenile vrest-
ling matches, just as at the other enter
tainments, which will be followed by
games and various contests and 9 mus
ical program. The members OF the
junior department are very much IN
terested in the coming event and it is
expected that on that evening the Dig
building will be filled to almost its
capacity.
The home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
