The question Of employing assistance
for the county attorney was again thrashed
out before the county commissioners last
week. For the past several year, there
have been bills at nearly every meeting
by attorneys for assistance rendered the
county attorney. Chairman Lake has
been on record for some, time against
paying the county attorney his salary and
employing other attorneys to do the work
but the other two commissioners did not
agree with him and invariably allowed
the bills. However, Commissioner Wads-
wort, when he voted in favor Of allow
ing $50 last week to another attorney
for work that should have been done
by the county attorney in two days time,
at the most, stated that this would be the
last time he would favor the extra hire .
in ordinary cases. 1t is quite probable
that there will be no call for this outlay
Of cash during the next two years, a.
the administration changed this week.
County Attorney Field says he will prose
cute state cases without assistance during
his term of Office except those In which
he was retained as counsel before becom-
ing county attorney. but there may be
future administrations in which the
same old custom may be resumed. 1t
has always seemed to the Index that
parties who are interested IN criminal
prosecutions who are not satisfied with
the county attorney should employ the
extra attorneys at their own expense. II
does not seem right that the county
should pay two salaries to have the work
Of one official carried on. especially
IN such sparsely settled county as this.

In the course Of week or two Medi-
cine Lodge warrants will be worth par
for the first time since the people
Of twenty years ago voted bonds in fav-
or Of eastern bondholders and got MOTH
ing in return. The city few months
ago compromised and scaled down the
Indebtedness. exchanging $4,000 Of
debt for $4,000 Of refunding bonds.
The bonds were signed up by City Clerk
Honey last Thursday and on Friday
A. L. Noble took them to Topeka for
registration. The money will be advanc-
ed by the Kansas City holders soon and
the city will begin to do business on a
cash basis. The city is now in shape to
keep up the interest year after year and
by levying a small sinking fund each
year it will be an easy matter for such
fund to take care Of the bonds when
they become due. Our city's financial
outlook is at last reasonably bright.
The Indebtedness is now no greater than
that Of other cities Of like population,
and smaller than many Of them. The

than many people are willing to give

city has suffered by reason Of the 1907
