road but in our opinion salary of the
Secretary is quite as much of an
incentive for action.

Notwithstanding the fact men,
toned by the STANDARD heretofore,
many of our citizens and taxpayers
are OF the opinion that in all criminal
cases the State pays the costs. Such
is not the fact. All the costs and
fees are taxed against the county,

felony prosecutions in the event of
conviction. Felony cases are those
