COUNTY ATTORNEY

After two years with a lawyer
unworthy the name in the office
of the county attorney, the pub
lie is to be congratulated on the
dawn Of a brighter day and the
elevation of man of ability to
that position with the New Year.
One term Of pettifoggery is
sufficient for any county, the
two years just closed fully meas
uring up to that standard in
Navajo.
Under the law the county at
torney is the legal advisor of all
county officials, including t h e
board of supervisors, precinct
officers and school trustees.
An attorney of ability would
have his hands full attending to
the duties of the office without
extending his energies far on
the outside but Mr.. Jordan has
attempted everything. In this
respect, however, the county
has not been a heavy loser, as
his legal opinions have never
been regarded as of very high
class and sometimes wholly
wrong. And it is barely posi-
bic that had his practice Of the
law been extended still farther
to private affairs no great harm
to the public veal would have
ensued.
To his disgrace stands his
o. K. as a county official to the
purchase of Judge Sapp's law
library and without which the
supervisors would not have acted,
the same being true in other
questionable matters where his
advice was given.
A prediction boast of his
was that if elected no expense
to the county would be incurred
for additional counsel but to
cover that breach of promise

MAIN STREETS OF PHOENIX

emptied.

The bootleggers' collection of
whiskey, wines and beer con-

the sheriff during the last two
years was emptied into a street

The collection amounted to five

a value of $40, 900. The wasting
of the liquor was witnessed by

ADIOS!

Evidently believing the new
members of the board of super
visors incompetent to transact
the public business, the old board
made contracts and transacted
such other business effecting the
year 1917 as possible during the
closing hours of their term of
office. Such high-handed pro-
cedure has never been resorted
to by any retiring board in the
county before. But considering
the personnel of the outgoing
board nothing more could be ex-
pected of them.
During the last two wears no
part of the county has gotten
what it rightfulIy expected ex-
cept in taxes. They have been
high enough for everybody.
With the advice and counsel
of c. H. Jordan, county attor-
ney, the supervisors scrupled at
nothing during the last two
years in the transaction of pub
tic business. AS a glaring ex-
ample of their infdelity to the
public trust we cite the pur-
chase of Judge Sapp's law IL.
brary at an outlay of $1,000
which is only one case of many.
Gang rule has been the watch
word and any fiat that eminated
from that source was put thru
regardless of law or the expense
to the county treasury.
In its rush to make contract
for the county publishing, the
retiring board of supervisors
overlooked giving legal notice in
viting bids thereon.
The HERALD made no bid for
the publishing, we'll knowing
from experience that it would
not be considered regardless of
prices and for the further reason
that any contract made by the
supervisors inlthe premises would
be void, as legal notice had not
been given. But undaunted.
and with their nerves braced by
the legal lore enunciated by
Atty. Jordan, the supervisors
proceeded to sign contract for
the publishing as their official
careers were drawing to a close
in the still watches of the night
and the hands of the clock were
nearing the hour of twelve
making the award not only of
the publishing but of all county
supplies to the Holbrook News.
And thus ended the last chap
ter of the reign Of the gang, in
fanny and pelf.
And, again, we say,
