Pay of Count Commissioners.

There Is no more glaring dfscrepr
ancy on the statute books Of West
virginia than that which sets the
munihcent sum of two dollars per day
for tiinc actually employed as COM
'pensation for county commissioners,
while over against that office stands
the ONCE Of sheriff which pays, ae-
cording to counties, from S. 600 10
$4,000 per, year, the clerks of county
-quate compensation, and prosecuting
and circuit courts. who receive ade-
attorneys who are given at least fair
remuneration for their services 20
the state, says the HUNTINGTON Herald
Dispatch and the Telegram agrees
with 1t.
In point OF responsibility, the Office
Of county commissioner stands at the
top Of the list Of county officials A
county commissioner will, in the
course OF a term OF six years In the
average West Virginia county. levy
and disburse $1,000, 900. He Is charged
too, with the oversight Of public Inn
proyements, roads, bridges and county
institutions. In the average county
the business Of q county commissioner
is the biggest business in the county.
His duties are many and onerous, his
responsibilities are manifold. But for
the performance OF these duties, for
tshouidering these responsible ities and
giving faithful stewardship in bis
affairs, he receives per diem less
than would be required to pay his
board in any ordinary hotel at the
county seat to say nothing Of the
travelling expenses incurred in the
course Of his duties.
The Herald Dispatch IS rot atteinpt:
ing to draw any deadly parallel OF

the county commissioners, burdened
as they are with responsibilities
ought to be paid at least more than
actual expenses while actually en-
gagged in doing the county'sy work.
There lis not, we maintain, any Just
or wise ground for the discrepancy

Remarkable Machines,

The United States Census Bureau
In digesting the returns Of the
thirteenth census used some Of the
most remarkable machines in exist
enceg One Of them is known as a
fabuiating machines. 1t. will write
down n dozen or more facts day
about each one OF Thousands Of per-
SONS. The census once has a card
that represents you. The card tells
whether you are male or female,
married or single, native or natuf-
Allied. There are many other things
that must be told about you II the
census Is to be complete, and the
card IS punched SO as to ten all OF
them
One OF these days you, that is.
your card, will be fed through tho
hig tabulating machine at the census
otlice along with thousands Of oth-
ers The machine will make no mis-
talse In its work of keeping tally on
you. II your card has not exactly
the right. number OF holes punched
IN II tn tell the machine Just what 1t
wants to know about, Il will shut
down and refuse to work again until
yonr card Is taken out for correc-
ton.
Every one of the holes that tells
t1s ma chine the things 1t wants to
know Will serve as an opening for a
blunt needle to pass through. When
the needle passes through 1t comes
Into contact with cup OF mercury,
thus cl6sing an electric circuit which
raises the facts about you to be tab
tfiafed This Ia how you were
counted at the census ONCE. and the
whole story Of the census bureau Is
most Interesting. You will find Il
told In chapter thirteen OF "1hs
Anne ican Government" by Frederic
Haskins See coupon on another
