A COUNTY SALARIES LAW.

hon. Arlen G. Swiger. OF Tyler
county, has prepared county salaries
/ Jaw which will be presented to the
, Legislature at its coming session.
Both political parties in West Virginia
are on record In favor OF an adequate
county salaries law. Members OF the
Republican party have at various
times made earnest efforts TO pass
such law. Hitherto. however. they
have been continually beaten by
shrewd combinations OF personal and
political interests.
The purpose OF the county salaries
law. IL need hardly be said. is 10 abol-
ish the practice OF remunerating coun-
~ and circuit clerks. sherihs and
prosecuting attorneys by fees. and TO
place all these oflcials in all the ooun-
ties on straight salaries. When the
present fee system was established IN
the early days of West Virginia. IL
probably suited the needs OF the State.
and was not ineQuitsble. The growth OF
the State in population and wealth
has. however. enormously increased
the fees OF some OF these county ON
Gals Il is modest estimate to say
that the sheriff's ONCE in Ohio county
is worth $4,000 year net. after all
expenses have been paid. The county
and circuit clerks receive fees ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year. In
I the county OF Kanawha these Offices
are even more valuable than in Ohio
county. In Wood. in Cabell. IN Ma.
] rion. in Harrison. in Fsyette. and a
large number OF other counties these
county positions pay more than the
: sovernorship. and frequently as much.
II not more. than a position in the
cabinet OF the President OF the United
states. The absurdity OF these enor-
nous compensations is evident.
B Without attempting to give exact
figures. The Tntelligencer believes that
( u IL within reason to say that a fair

people Of West Virginia over s2OO. 900

/ WASHINGTON. d. <. Dec. 2s.-
Economy in governmental expendi-

by the administration and in Con-
gress.
Not only are The Democratic lead
ers preparing 10 appropriate millions
more than ever before. but they have
abandoned any intention OF establish

When the administration presents
its estimate OF expenditures for 1916
on Dec. the figures showed a de-
ncit OF nearly $4,000. 900 in the next
fiscal year. The Democrats. however.
pointed to the fact that the approx
riations proposed were $4,000. 900
less than we're submitted TO the pre-
vious session OF Congress During
the last fortnight the administration
has submitted supplemental esti-
mates amounting to nearly S55 900. :

THE GOVERNORS POLICY OF
ECONOMY

The audit OF the state Auditor and
the State Treasurer's departments.
conducted by the Tax Commissioners
once. emphasizes the need OF add
tionai sources Of revenue for the sup
port OF the State government. At
The same time II brings into striking
prominence the vigor and wisdom dis.
played by Governor Hatfield in his
policy OF economy and retrcnchment
When Governor Hatfield was inau-
gurated he found a costly labor war
on hands. An enormous sum Of money
was being daily spent by the State
for the maintenance of militia. and a
deficit was already in sight. Largely
through his personal efforts the strike
In the mine regions OF Kanawha coun-
~ was ended The expenditures for
the State militia were promptly re-
duced. but nevertheless a large
amount OF money had already been
used and heavy obligations incurred.
On July 1. 1918. there was. there
fore. deficit in the State fund of
$4,000. The Legislature OF 1913 ap-
propriated sums considerably in ex.
cess OF the revenues realized. Had
all the appropriations made by this
Legislature been expended the deficit
on July I. 1915. It is estimated. would
have been s1.474.27s.s4.
On his own initiative. however.
Governor Hatfield has vigorously re-
sisted and stopped in a large measure
the expenditure OF moneys not pro-
vided for In the current revenues.
He has been severely criticised by
local interests that suffered because
pet enterprises were not taken up.
but the wisdom OF Governor Hatneld's
course has been demonstrated by the
eveaI Thanks to his action. The
Legislature which meets In January
viii have an opportunity 10 correct
rasteful appropriations. IL any have
been made. and to provide adequate
revenues for the appropriations 10 be
made. While the Legislature will
face a deficit. to a very large degree
Il will be a paper deficit only: a de-
hcit created by liberal appropriations
which a vigorous and careful Govern
or has kept from being spent.
II is well known. not only at
charleston. but in practically all the
state institutions. that Governor Hat
Held has been insistent upon the most
rigid economy. He has given personal
attention TO many matters OF detail
that might not ordinarily come within
the purview Of the Governors work.
He has familiarized himself with the
actual and pressing needs OF all the
State institutions and State work. and
this work has heea carried on with a
minimum expense and with a high de.
gree Of efficiency. II is unnecessary

stitutions much additional money
could have been spent wisely and
probably. but II was not spent be-
cause the State did not have H. A
