One Good Plank-But Why Waltz

The so-called platform put out for the hand
picked candidates Of the water marked legislative
slate contains one good plank to which The Bee
is necessary to accomplish the purpose. The
plank reads as follows
We favor the passage Of laws placing all city
and county officials salary basis, and providing
that all fees and emoluments of such officers shall
county Jail shall be led by the sheriff the agent
Of the county. without profit to himself
We say we would subscribe to this plank
to the extent that new legislation is necessary
to accomplish the purpose. whose necessity.
however, we very much doubt SO far as the
most fragrant offenses Of fee grabbing are con-

sheriff contempiates that he account for, and

OF his office.
The law which now prescribes the generous
compensation OF the district court clerk like

virtue Of his official position.
So why should any honest man wait for new
laws to compel public thieves to disgorge?

Court Clerk Robert Smith from turning in the

visitors from abroad cannot all get home at

emphasizes the tremendous dimensions to which
