posed increase in salaries for mem bers of the police department. It is known that one or two members of the council have been considering a proposition to suggest a general in crease of $10 per month per man, which will mean an aggregate addi- tion to the payroll of about $500 per year. Patrolmen now draw $60 per month. two of whom, on duty at the union station, draw one half of their pay from the railroad. The two desk sergeants draw $50 per month each. It is not questioned that the salaries are very small, and that it is difficult for a man of family to live on that sum. It is pointed out also that the policemen, working 12 to IA hours per day. seven days a week, draw little, if any, more pay than do common laborers who work or 10 hours per day six days of the week.
 New Court No Burden.
 Representative I. F. Magee, author of the municipal court measure stated last night that the bill provides that the city and county shall share in making up any deficit that may occur in the operation of the court.
 Salaries and other expenses of the court, except the expenses of the con- stables office, are to be paid out of the receipts of the court, according to the terms of the bill, and if these re- ceipts are not in sufficient amount to pay the expenses, then the city and the county will make up the deficiency in equal parts.
 Under the municipal court law all the usual fees and costs will be col lected by the court, as are now col lected by the justice courts In addi- ton, there will be fees and costs. col lected from persons found guilty of violating city ordinances, which now are not collected. In these latter cases, however, the prosecuting attor ney is not allowed fee. The fees and costs, together with the fines col lected, and together with the fees and costs collected in civil cases, all will go into the court treasury for division between the county and the city, as the new law provides, and it appears to be the general opinion among those who are acquainted with the amount of business done in the past in the jus tice of the peace courts and the police court that the municipal court will pay it's own expenses without diffi- culty.

CHEEK PLANS 7O WORK CONNECTS
 ON THf ROADS
County Judge Hopes This Will Be Last Year Pris-
 oners Are Leased.

County Judge L. E. Cheek recently the use of the county prisoners, ob- taining better terms for the county than heretofore. Under the new con- tract, pr. Pyatt will pay the costs in all misdemeanor cases where the convicts serve out the fines, except ing in cases where the prisoners are incapacitated, and will pay to the county half of whatever portion of the fine that may be paid after the convict has been turned over to the lessee. She courts have held thata contractor for the labor of county prisoners is entitled to all of what ever part of the fine paid after re- ceiving the prisoners, and heretofore the county has received none of this money. Dr. Pyatt also will furnish of course, as in the past, food, cloth ing and medical attention for the con- victs delivered to him.
 If County Judge Cheeks plans work out, this probably will be the last time that the county convicts are let out on contract. Inasmuch as uAAuSA tIO COAlA oCl oyoCCIIl, luC COuU- ty receives practically nothing from the labor of the prisoners, the ad- vantage being in the saving effected through being relieved of payment of officers fees in cases where convict ed persons serve out the fines. these being paid by the lessee, it is Judge Cheeks plan to either operate a farm or work the convicts on the roads. He favors the latter plan. It is his intention to acquire a motor truck large enough to carry cage in which the male prisoners may be trans ported from one point to another. While the prisoners are at work on the road. the cage would be lifted from the truck, and the motor car used in road building.

Some Officials Profess Ap- prehension Court May
 Be Burden.
MAYOR DUBIOUS OF
 RAISING SALARIES
Expresses FcRr That New Court May Cost So Much Council Will Be Unable to Comply With Peti.
 tiOn in Behalf of Police.

Although every member of the city council is in favor of voting to in- crease the salaries of the members of the police department, and are expect ing to do that at the meeting of the council Monday night. March 19. it was learned yesterday that several of the aldermen are making enquiries to ascertain if the new municipal court bill may not add so much expense to the city as would make it inadvisable at this time to increase the police salaries.
 The police court now costs the city $90O per year, salary of the judge. The city is liable for one-half of the expense of the municipal court, ex- elusive of the constable's salary. The judge and clerk will draw in salaries an aggregate of $3,20O. If the court does not collect one cent from fines, fees and costs, the city is responsible for one-half of this, or $1,600. The city saves the $900 now being paid the police judge, so that the city actually faces the bare possibility of having to pay out $7O0 more for its court than it now pays. To meet this slightly increased outgo, the court will collect fees and costs in civil cases, as we'll as in violations of city ordinances, all of which will go into the city treasury.
 Mayor Simon Bloom stated yester- day that he is heartily in favor of in- creasing the salaries of the members of the police department, and has long been an advocate of such action. He stated also that every member of the council felt the same way on the prop osition, the only reason such action has not yet been taken having been the condition of the city's finances.
 Mayor Bloom stated, however, that he intends to study the terms of the new municipal court bill, to ascertain what the probable cost of the new court will be to the city.
 "The municipal court will be an ex- pensive court" he. said, "and I want to see just about how much of this ex- pense must be borne by the city. It may be that the new court may be so great a burden that the council will be unable to increase the salaries of the police at this time"
 No definite figures have yet been mentioned in connection with the pro-

clothing for the male prisoners, bed ding and other useful articles for use of the system. If there is not room enough in the jail to house the pris- oners. Judge Cheek proposes to rent and equip building fo. the purpose.
 Judge Cheek believes that this manner of handling the convicts will prove more satisfactory from every standpoint, especially from the hu- manltarlan view, and several with whom he has discussed the plan have given it their cordial endorsement.

Land Traders Active.
Lands have been changing hands
in TreSo county more rapidly than for
many years. Spectators have Jared
poorly, but the actual bonafide buyers,
who are locating on these lands, are
in a big majority. The 1916 wheat
crop aggregated about 2,500,0 900 BUSH
els, the largest crop ever harvested
in Trego county, and also brought the
largest price. Many fields of corn
raised from IS to 35 bushels an acre.
One of the Trego county farmers sold
his surplus crop for $500, and he
tended every acre single handed. Over
500 carloads of grain have been
shipped out. There is a good per cent
of the crop yet in the hands of the
growers.
