a creditor to jump onto anyone in
debt to him, and enable lawyers TO

to me, therefore, that such bills

cases where an increase is deemed
advisable.
A solution of the whole matter OF
fixing the compensation OF county
officials and providing for additional
assistance. where much is necessary,
may be found in the enactment OF a
law vesting in the several county
courts the power TO fix and regulate
the salaries OF county officers and TO
provide additional deputies ami as
slstants. These courts are in touch
and familiar with the conditions
which prevail In the several counties
and are better able to Judge OF the
necessities in each case. and to them
ought to be shifted the responsibility
Of making such changes where same
are necessary, and / suggest the err
