LEGISLATION NECESSARY.

A special committee of the city
council Is now wrestling with the re-
trenchment problem. The budget OF
the city's expenses must be cut down,
and in order to 40 this probably some
CITY Offices will be consoi dated ana
others will be abolished Everybody
who Is familiar with the afairs OF
the municipality knows that these
things can be done without impairins
the efficiency of the government. ana
when the committee Is ready with lts
report the public and the majority oil
the council probably will stand behind
its recommendations. unless II Is OBJ
yioas that vital mistake has been
made in some particular.
The committee no doubt Will re-
trench Is far as possible under the
law without injury to the government,
and IL Is not the purpose OF this paper
40 discuss the committees work AT
this time There is another matter
that we Relieve ought to given atten-
ton now and every day until the next
legislature is elected. and that is the
system Of paying state officers by
fees. The retrenchment committee OF
the council cannot touch the incomes
of certain officers who are elected by
the people here and who have larger
incomes from their Offices then any
two or three Of the public servants
whose salaries are fixed by the ooun-
ell. These Offices pay entirely too
much. II sa'aries were being fixed
for them u suggestion that the saia-
ries be made more than half what
is paid now in fees would be laughed
at BY the public The evil would have
been corrected long ago but for the
influence of the oface-holders as q
class and the fact that the public gen
orally has no idea what the incomes
OF these positions amount TO.
Let one of the Slogans OF the next
legislative campaign be Abolish the
fee system" The state is paying cut
several hundred thousand dollars too
much for plum jobs.

The regulars. following adjourn

is a waiting one. If the Republican
insurgents win the fight. they say that

Some friends of the speaker contend
that if the house overrules him 10

is silent.

The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1910-07-27

AT the recent session of the Kentucky
State Bar Association, Judge Benton
read an excellent paper on the Jury
System. The most important portions
of the paper related to the number Of
challenges allowed defendants n
criminal cases, and to what Judge Ben
ton termed the Court House Lobby.
On this subject Judge Benton says:
Let the motto Of the Kentucky State
Bar Association for the next year be,
The Court House Lobby Must Be De-
stroyed, and it will not be necessary
in the future to inveigh against this
evil practice which is corrupting the
very foundation of your jury system.
Do not suffer the Lobbyists to taunt
you as their fellows do Congress and
the Legislatures of the states by ask
ing What are you going to do about it,;
but let them know that you are engag-
ed in war upon their avocation which
will not cease until you have driven
them out of the temples of justice.
Drive them out of your court houses

disc"

John Robinson Coming.

There is certainly no travelling enter
tainment in America, perhaps in the
world, which presents exhibition SO
varied, so attractive and so multitudin-
Gus as do the John Robinson Shows.
Since the days Of Noah more complete
menagerie has never been seen. Tradi-
tional, poetic and enchanting scenes
never before equalled or witnessed in
the gorgeous arenic display.
Every act in the monster program is
revelation to the beholder. The finest
specimens of horse flesh in the world,
the highest aerialists in the circus pro-
fession, the champion riders, both male
and female. the finest specimens of the
cutest ponies 10 the world the grandest
specialties ever exhibited; the funniest
clowns on earth are with the John
Robinson Shows.
Almost every circus claims to a show
that cannot be duplicated, and an ag-
gregatiou of performers the like of
'a-NA NeAAAOe 70 OAO0Stl tOkclutI, Out
the fact is that every circus of any con-
sequence has double force and a double
equipment.
There are really two circus troupes
which have to travel about. The leap
ers are liable to injury. A sprained
ankle will put one of the best performers
out, and there must be man to take
his place. Possibly the substitute will
make as great hit as the regular.
Even the performing horses have their
substitutes.
1t is fact not generally known that
the John Robinson Shows carry two
complete large canvases. In case one is
destroyed by fire or storm, another must
be ready to put up. When a failure of
a performance entails loss of from $40,
900 TO $40, 900 for expenses, the matter
becomes serious.
