Salary Injustice

There remains in Graham county
one county official whose salary as
compared to the salaries of all other
county. officials is a rank injustice
We have reference to the Office of
Probate judge. The county treasurer
and county clerk each get about $1,000
a year: the register of deeds gets
about $1,000: the sheriff gets from
1920 to as high as $500: the county
superintendent gets about 1920; the
county attorney $1,000: the clerk Of
the court gets 5000; but the probate
judge gets only 5000 year. In addi-
ton the probate judge is not allowed
a deputy and for that reason is tied
up to his Office much closer than
other officials who can get away when
occasion demands. The law allows
the county commissioners to pay the
probate judge up TO 5000 including
fees, and outside of just one or two
counties the probate judges of other
counties with similar population are
getting allowances from the boards
to make the salaries come up to the
5000 limit, There is no justice in al
lowing all other officers to receive
from 5000 up and leaving the probate
Judge drag along with pittance of
S6O0.-Hill City Republican. True,
very true, the same state of affairs
exists in Trego county Put the
probate Judge on an equal with the
rest OF the county officials.

soon as the grasshoppers came. the
Indians made preparations for a
great feast. Coming tos-town. they
traded bows, arrows, tomahawks, etc,
for dogs. We boys furnished them
with the dogs, then they invited US
to their feast.
Arriving at the feast, we saw huge
kettles, under those kettles was fire,
in those kettles were the aforesaid
dogs, previously killed and Invested

ties also was water copiously supplied

EXTENSIONS ARE
PLANNED BY COMMITTEE.

Plans for the extension of the public
school system along several lines were
adopted by the Board of Educators
committee on instruction and educa-
tional supplies at last nights meeting,
The plans were embodied in the rec
concentrations of DR.. A. B. Poland, city
superintendent.
Chief among the extensions planned
was the establishment of classes for
defective pupils in the Burnett Street,
Lafayette Street and Chestnut Street
schools, and of a class for the deaf
in the James Street School. The last
named building will be rented by the
building committee for $500 a year.
The reorganization of the Normal and
Training School. which the committee
had been expected to act on, was not
touched.
Considerable extension will be made
in the Warren Street Industrial School
at a cost Of about $1,400. The lines OF
the school districts, as revised by the
city superintendent, were adopted
unanimously. Appointments Of sub
stitute teachers were made.
