TERRAPIN FARMING.

The law provided against slaves be

A Word to the Wise

We have received information from
several sources to the effect that the
very persons who we're the instigators
of all the county commissioner trouble
are now going about telling those whom
they meet how pleased they are that the
commissioner trouble is settled and
that it was decided exactly as they
wanted. Now, this hypocrisy is simply
nauseating, and we do sincerely hope
that the people of Ebert county will
remember these fellows at the next and
future elections should any of them
have the audacity to place his name or
the ticket as candidate for any politi
cal Office in the county.
The Elbert County Tribune wishes to
state that it stands solid for good and
honest government in county affairs ir.

In the case OF The People ex rel Alex
ander and others VS.. The District court
Of the Tenth Judicial District; Dixon,
Judge, this court, speaking through
Justice Gabbert, most aptly says:
"The people of the state, by constitu-
tional provision, have vested this court
with the authority to issue extraordinary
| remedial writs. One object OF this was
to provide a remedy whereby questions
publici juris could be speedily deter
mined by the highest court of the com
monwealth. The writ of prohibition is
not one of right, but may issue in extra
ordinary cases in the exercise OF sound
discretion and we must be governed by
the exigencies of each particular case.
Thus it will be seen this court is to be
governed, in the issuance Of this extra
ordinary writ, by the circumstances and

than the mere question of which person
shall hold the office. Under the peculiar
state of facts disclosed substantial mat
ters of general concern are affected.
Public necessity therefore, demands,
and under these circumstances is emit
tied to have, immediate action by this
court. If one whom the people have
chosen to represent them in an official
capacity is to be arbitrarily removed by
a writ of injunction, such action goes to
the very root of representative govern
ment and should be summarily dealt
with. This appeals to us not only as an
exceptional, but also an extraordinary
case, and to fairly fall within the rule
suggested in the Renbow decision. 1t
is indeed SO exceptional that we are lit
tie surprised at our inability to find any
where in the books another exactly like
it.
Ii the judge of a trial court may, by
the arbitrary exercise of the extraordi-
nary writ of injunction, remove from the
Office of county commissioner one duly
elected by the people, who has entered
on the discharge of his duties, bearing
the insignia of right and title thereto,
which the law requires, and this court is
without power to stay such action, or,
having authority, on mere question of
practice refuses to exercise it, what is to
prevent like action, at the mere whim or
caprice of some other Judge, against any
other duly elected, qualified and acting
official. even the governor himselfY

County Commissioners Resolu-
tions Regarding County
Clerks Fees

Whereas, the county clerk and record
er of Ebert county, Colorado, is allowed
by law a salary of s1,500 per annum,
which compensation is reasonable and
remurerative; and,
Whereas, the said salary or compen-
sation, SO allowed to such officer as afore-
said, is made up of the fees and earn
ings of the officers Office; and,
Whereas, the fees and earnings of
such officer, in excess of the aggregate
salary and compensation allowed him by
law, is by law conveyed into the county
treasury, and thereby becomes part OF
the general fund of the county. to be
used in the discharge of the county's OBJ
| legations, to the end that the rate of tax
alton may be reduced; and,
Whereas, among other duties of the
county clerk and recorder of Elbert
county is that of making abstracts OF
titles, for which service the law specific
ally provides that he shall have fifty
cents per entry for the first five entries,
thirty cents for subsequent entries and
twenty-five cents for a certificate; and,
Whereas, the county clerk Of Ebert
county is now engaged in conducting a
private abstract business, in which ca
pacity he charges for the work which he
ought to do as county clerk, fees very
much in excess OF those which he would
be allowed if he did the work as county
clerk: and,
Whereas, while the county clerks
time belongs to the county and for which
he is allowed remunerative pay, by his
present method of business he is doing
a two-fold injury, (a) the cost to the peo-
pie of the county for abstracts of title
to their property is very much in excess
of that allowed by law, and (b) the earn
ings of the county clerk in making alb
stracts go to enrich the clerk personally
whereas such earnings would otherwise
go to augment the general county fund.
Now, THEREFORE,, be it resolved by
the county commissioners OF Elbert
county, Colorado, that the county clerk
of said county be and is hereby ordered,
whenever he shall be required to make
abstracts of title, to make them as coun-
ty clerk and strictly to account to the
comfy for his earnings in that be
half; and,
| Be it further resolved that the county
clerk and recorder OF said Elbert county
be and is hereby forbidden to make
use Of his time in the furtherance of
private schemes and enterprises when
| by law such transactions may be done
and performed in his capacity as county
clerk and recorder, and for which il Sc
done the county would reap re.
ward; and,
Be it further resolved that the people
of the county, who may desire abstracts
OF title to their property. would serve
the interests of the taxpayers we're they
to insist that the county clerk and re-
corder make their abstracts as sue b
officer, and not only SO, but by such ac
tion they would work saving to them
selves of something like fifty per cent
um; and,
Be it further resolved that copy o
these resolutions be Immediately pub
lished in the official newspa pers OF tn,
county, and that copies be fu rnished a
matter of news to other newspaper
of the county.
