GRAND JURY
PRESENTMENTS.


for the second week Of the March term,
1909, of Cobb Superior Court, beg leave
to submit the following special present
ments, reserving our general present.
ments until our term OF service is at an
end
We recommend that some new
method should be adopted whereby 8
check could be had on every piece OF
property located in Cobb county, and
that the Board of Roads and Revenues,
at their earliest convenience, install q
book which will cover each lot OF land
and show the owner thereof, so that
the Tax Receiver can, at the close Of
the fiscal year, check up and see that
every piece Of property has been re-
turned, and that they should instruct
the Tax Collector not to accept and re-
ceipt for any taxes that do not appear
on the tax digest. However, if for any
reason any party should fail to return
their taxes at the proper time, and dur
ing the fall, or time for paying taxes,
should go to the Tax Collector and offer
to pay same, the Tax Collector should
require that party to first go TO the
proper officers having charge OF receiv-
ing the returns, and have his property
entered on the digest. In this manner
the public will have knowledge of the
amount of taxable property located in
the county, and the amount of tax to
be collected and accounted for.
To satisfy the entire population of
this county, we hereby recommend that
the Board of Roads and Revenues at
once employ a first-class auditor to
audit all the books of the county off,
GERS, beginning at such period ss they
may deem advisable, and have installed
a new and up-to-date system of book
keeping, which will, in the future,
make it possible for every taxpayer to
know the condition of our county az
fairs.
Deeming it to the best interest of the
Taxpayers Of this county, we recon-
mend that the Board of Roads and Rev
enues, at their discretion, call an cleo
tion for the issuing of bonds to the sum
of $500, 900 90, to be used in building
public roads in the county, said bonds
to mature in thirty years from date and
bear interest at per cent. per annum,
to be sold as needed, and not to he sold
for less than par.
The Grand Jury having recommended
that the County Commissioners employ
an auditor to make an examination OF
all Of the books, and asked the appoint
ment by the foreman of committee to
assist in the examination, the following
has been appointed: T. M Brumby,
Sr., John d. Perkerson and James r.
Anderson.
Pensions.-We recommend that the
following names be stricken from the
Pension roll: Isaac Reed and Dan
Qualls.
We recommend that A. P. McLain be
appointed Notary Public in and for the
851st district, G. NJ, said county.
We recommend that these present.
ments be published in the official organ
of the countv.

Passing Of the wild Cat.

The days OF the unkempt individual
with gnarled face and horny hands,
his pockets full Of bits Of rock and a
tongue that ~discoursed in glib terms
Of veins, leads, lodes, apices and cross
cuts, mill sites int cross locations, are
passing. The old-time ]prospector is
nearly extinct and the old-time mining
promoter will soon be as rare as the
dodo. This change in the aspect of
metalliferous mining, has been brought
around by the application OF business
principles to the industry.
Under the guidance Of men Of spe-
cial training and experience in the af-
fairs and processes of extracting
metals from the mountains OF the
earth, mining has been reduced to al
most a practical certainty. 1t is not
within human power to eliminate en-
tirely the element OF chance, but It
is possible to do away with the ir-
responsible individual who Used to
prey on the public through the sale
Of stock in mining companies that fire.
q%uently had not even a prospect hole
for assets. The combination Of mining
men to protect and advance their own
interests has had this result. The for
nation of companies TO operate mines
is now on a basis of reality. rather
than mere speculation. While the ele-
ment Of uncertainty will always accom-
pany development work, the investor
will know that he is taking a chance,
and hat his money is being used for
legitimate purposes. The wildcatter,
who paid dividends from the proceeds
Of stock sales, can operate nowadays
only in regions where the gold brick
man might thrive.
Much of this reform is due to the
activity Of the mining congress, which
is now holding its annual session at
GOldfield. Its labors in other directions
have been for the good Of the industry,
but none have given the public more
direct benefit than the determination
of the dishonest promoter. Metalliferous
mining is today as nearly on a legiti-
mate basis, devoid of every %avoidable
element Of speculation. as any other
modern form Of enterprise.

Much to the general establishment. the
convert was much opposed to the date fa-
vored by all the others.
A recess was taken to discuss the isslc
more informally, and the mission worker
drew his protege aside to interrogate him.
1T is going to rain that day" declared
the convert earnestly. 1T will spoil the
picnic"
But how do YOU know it is so certain to
rain?'
Then the convert blurted forth his rea-
sons. helplesslv. but with conviction:

Harmonizers and Parasites.

Discussing THE Lawyers Function"
a writer in the current Atlantic
monthly takes as his text the inscrip-
ton above the statue of law in the con
gressional library at Washington read
ing, 'Of law there can be no less ac-
knowledged than that her voice is the
harmonizer Of the world" and in it's APP
~plication divides the whole class Of
lawyers and parasites. when is a law
yer a harmonizer and when a para
site?" is asked and to find the answer
TO this question an attempt is made to
analyze the lawyers function, under
the ~three-fold fields OF advice, litiga-
ton and l~awmaking.
In the realm of advice, we are told,
a lawyer may choose between counsel
ing his client how to uphold the
rights secured to him by the justice of
his cause, and how to obtain benefits
from the application OF technicalities
and the use of the weaknesses of the
particular statute of presidents under
consideration. whereby he may attain
advantages inconsistent with fair play
time a lawyer helps perpetrate Unjust
ice he leases 10 be & harmOnizer and
becomes a parasite, even though the
client willingly defrays the expense,
which. however, is finally shifted onto
society, as a whole.
In litigation the lawyer who en-
deavors by every means TO present
fully his clients case and point IL the
defects in his opponents position is
fully meeting his responsibility to give
a conscientious judge all the informa-
ton ~obtainable, and promote speedy,
as well as just settlement. On the
other hand the lawyer who attempts
by a%rtifice to becloud, distort and sup
press, creates distrust in the law and
makes for injustice for all l~itigants.
1t is in lawmaking that the lawyer
can most easily choose his work. Most
of our laws are made by lawyers. and
those who devise schemes for personal
or selfish purposes of clients as CON
trasted with the demands of the COM
mon good, are remarkably plain ex-
amples Of the parasitical Gloss The
possibilities of lawmaking are euuaIled
only by the possibilities of unmakiug
laws, where again the line Of demarka-
ton is fairly clear. AS defined in this
article, this line depends, not so much
on whether a lawyer believes a law to
be for the good of the majority, but
rather, whether he seeks to overthrow
a statute OF questionable merit by fair
construction of the constitution or I'M
dertakes to find out If by any possible
construction of the constitution or the
statute he may overthrow the law en-
tirely, regardless OF its value to the
community,
The only excuse offered for the
parasites in the legal profession, is
that they may have been unable TO
make a living from legitimate prac-
tice, The ultimate disappearance of
the parasitical lawyer may be hoped
for il the lawyers, who are harmonic
ers, cut themselves loose from those
who are either wilfully OF involun-
tarily parasites, and so dlscredit the
latter that their usefulness will be at
an end, even according to their own
standards. All OF which may seem to
be %shadowy. and in the dim future, but
still holds up an ideal which should
have an elevating effect on the present.

REGULATING EMPRESS RATES.
Decision Encourages states
Seeking Relief,

~
Chicago Record Herald.
The state Of Nebraska decided two years
ago that express rates were too high. De.
spairing Of regulation in any other way,
the legislature passed a law making a flat
cut in rates. That is not a wise method
Of procedure as a general rule. because
legislatures are much too apt TO make
errors in the rates they fix and so vitiate
their entire work. In this case, however,
after full court hearings, the supreme court
of the state has decided that the legisla.
ture was not lacking in fairness, and that
the rates It fixed shall stand.
The clamor against express rates and ex-
press service is heard all over the coun-
try. II does not come from the scorned
common people either. but largely from
manufacturers and merchants. That is the
case In Chicago at the present time. The
rates from Chicago to points in the state
are so high and the service so bad that a
business mans movement grew up to get
some relief from our own legislature last
winter. The legislature, Of course. grinned
at the request and did nothing. Since then
an endeavOr has been made to bring the
express companies under the operation of
the state railroad law. but the process is
slow and painful, with ultimate success in
doubt.
A parcels post system such as European
governments provide for their citizens
would solve the trouble speedily. The ex-
press companies would then nave to give
good service at reasonable rates or quit
business. Short Of { ' {, there is the great
est need of vigorous state control The
Nebraska precedent is eucours gins.

4 COMFORTING Decision
Sioux CITY Tribune.

oIOuA JIty IrlbUne,
The supreme court of that state finds
that Nebraska is bigger than the express
companies that do business within her
borders. This is comforting. Considering
the way such decisions generally go one
may say this one is tiattering. But it is
well to wait until the real supreme court
passes on their relative size before pub
