European War

It at last seems to have been borne
in upon the Russian mind that the
Russian people must defend their new
won freedom if they would keep it.
If they fail in this emergency, it is
pointed out, the autocracy will be re-
established, the results of which, it is
freely admitted, would be anarchy, be-
cause autocracy is an anachronism
which the twentieth century mind will
not tolerate.

bassador to Russia, told the Russian

mony, but to safeguard Russia for the

GENEROUS FISCAL COURT.

~ Prior to the adoption of our pres
ent State Constitution much wa
said about increase in compensation
for the benefit Of ihcumbents
The practice was justly CRITICS
ed, and during campaigns candi'
dates were compelled to explain OF
attempt to justify salary grab" and
extra pay" legislation. This abuse
of public trust led to the wise pro-
vision in our Constitution borbid-
ding increases in compensation after
election or appointment. Section
161, says:
THE compensation of any
city, county, town or municipal
officer shall not be changed af-
ter his election or appointment,
or during his term of office, nor
shall the term of any such Off
Ger be extended beyond the per-
iod for which he may have been
elected or appointed"
The Fiscal Court of Ohio county
elected the present poor house keep
or on October 6, 1915, for a term of
two years at an agreed compensation
of $50 per week for each pauper,
which was to include board, fuel,
washing. mending and making, the
keeper to have use of the farm and
Feep premises, clean, comfortable
ad sanitary. Our information is this
I"as his proposition which the Court
accepted. Any way. he was elected
under those conditions for two years.
Notwithstanding this, in less than a
year. on August II, 1916, the Fiscal |
Court entered an order increasing /
the pay of the keeper to $500 per
week for each pauper, making no |
further provision as to mending, &C.,
and also provided that this increase
should date back and be paid from
June Is, 1916.
In addition to this, since that time
the Court has been making allow
ances for mending, usually at the
rate OF cents per week for each
inmate Of the county house.
The taxpayers can see at least one
example of generosity on the part OF
the Fiscal Court, while the indebt-
edness has piled up to more than
$50. 600, --~-A-

But nothing is ever the same,
