All those who sought to be nominated
for county officers on the democratic
ticket have resigned except Thomas M.
Priestley.
He was elected district attorney in
1916 over the Hon. John W. Taylor
One of his duties as district attorney
was, ito examine all claims against the
county for officers, witnesses and ju-
rors fees in all criminal actions and
proceedings and make report in writing
thereon, as to the liability of the county
to pay the same.
See statutes sec. 752 and 6802.
He failed to do that
Such claims are not to be acted upon
until that is done. See sections 677-2
and 680-2.
And this matter has been fully dis
posed of in ll3 Wis. page SIC decided
in 1902.
In that case the Supreme Court says:
"This clause must be read as a pro-
viso, to the effect that the county board
has power to adjust and settle claims
against the county such as are specified
in sections GIG and 677 when itemized
and verified as therein specified. and
not otherwise.
"rhe wisdom of the law is plain. 1t
aims at fencing the county board about

alton to meet county expenditures, may
know with some reasonable degree of
detinteness the basis of such expendi-
lures and whether they are legitimate
or not.
have had much experience with Off
GERS claims against the county.
At one time the claims against the
county were considerable.
j. w. Hutchinson. A. Il. Thomas and
John w. Jones were the committee on
claims. and they came to my Office and
asked me TO look over the sheriff S bill
and five other bills. The claims
amounted to about $500 ! did SO The
sheritr's bin was little over $1,000 and
was reduced by them over $500 and the
other claims were reduced in about the
same ratio. 1t paid to examine the bills.
No matter how careful an officer may
be he is apt 70 get into his claim more
than the law allows That should be-
stricken out by the district attorney aue
the county board
Our Supreme Court has said long since
Every person accepting the office OF
sheriff, or other office. takes it for tn,
fees which the law prescribes He ha.
the right to the compensation provided
hut is entitled to none other
have always allowed the officer al
he was entitled to, but when a bill i,
presented TO the county board for 81,
$4,000 and is not objected to by the dis
triet attorney and is allowed at $l946 30
It seems to me that some taxpayer Of
the county ought to look into it.
If the claimant has received NOR,
than he was entitled to he should pay
that amount into the treasury of IN,
county.
On the 10th Of this month look e
over the sheriff bill against the county
presented az the November session 1917
II was from Jan 9Th, 1917, to Nov 18th
1917. The total bin amounted TO 81,
1850 No reductions whatever.
Should the bin have been reduced
Most surely.
Had it been carefully looked over b,
the district attorney it should have beer
reduced very much.

State Has Balance of
 $56,321.75 on Sept. 30

Montgomery, October 2.-(Special.)-On September 30. the end of the fiscal year, Alabama had $5S.321.75 in the treasury, this being the balance from receipts during the year, and that left in the treasury at the close of the year 1917. A report of receipts and disbursements was made public Wednesday at the of flee of the state treasurer.
 The report shows:
 Balance October 1, 1917 $69,1s5. 4S re- ceipts from October 1, 1917, to Septem- Der 30, 1913, sS,45Os57.31, or a total of $S.520, o42.79; disbursements from October 1, 1917, to September 30, 1918 $S,463, ,721 .04 leaving balance on hand of $56.321.75.
 Disbursements for the year are shown to be greater than the receipts but it is explained at the treasurers office that many outstanding debts, made before the beginning of the fiscal year of 1917-1S, were paid from the receipts of that year.

 duction and distribution situation make desirable Pooling agreements for these later will be effected as the necessity arises.
 FIVE COUNCILS The committees will be responsible to the five inter-allied councils Any diff ferences arising as to allocation of ships or material or other matters of serious
 or vital nature on which the members O. the inter-allied councils are unable to agree, will be brought to President Wilson and the premiers of the allied
 nations for settlement.
 Food control already has been centered in London. following Food Administra- tor Hoover's recent visit abroad to at | tend the inter-allied food conference in London. One of the results of his trip, it became known today, was the per. lection of the Presidents plans for cen tralized control and it's acceptance by England, France and Italy.
 The munitions council meets in Paris with two American representatives, As- | sistant Secretary of War Stettenius for l the war department, and l.. L. Summers | for the war industries board, personal | representatives of Chairman Murch Of | that organization.
 | Provision is made that where oues. | tions arise rela tive to the functions Of any one of the inter-allied councils, no l matter where they are sitting, which require attention in any other of the | allied capitals, representatives may be appointed with plenary authority to act l for that council. A member of coun- | cil absent from the country where it ! is sitting may appoint a deputy with 1 full authority to act for him.
 1 The entire plan contemplates the cut ting of red tape elimination of eontro- versies between the allies in their fight | against the central powers and weld :, ing the resources Of the allies into common pool, and to provide the ma chinery to handle all problems that are intricate voluminous or in need Of con- tiruous attention
 The theory of the organization is based l on the mistakes of the allies early in the war, before the economic phases of a world war fully commanded the at l tertion of the government; difficulties of providing the fire elements essential to successful military operations-food money ships, materials and guns, and also necessity of eliminating the many disturbing factors apt to confront allies 1 fighting in a common cause, but hav- 1 ing national peculiarities. and possible different ways of approaching the same object
 America, through it's position as the storehouse of the world, and not less through President Wilson's world leader ship accepted by the allies, proba bly, win be the guiding hand in the plan for centralized control. The effect will be
 common pool of resources necessary for winning the war quickly.

The important railroad junction point of Roulers is ali but in the hands of the al- lies, while southward from ROuIers the British have cut the RouIers- Menin railway at two places and are in process of investing Me- min.
 The French are now in full pos session of St. Quentin and have passed on eastward. The entire Hindenburg system between St. Quentin and LeCatelet has been completely smashed by Field Mar shai Haig's forces. with whom the Americans are brigaded, and fur ther ground has been. won i'm the outskirts of Cambrai and north of that city. At one point north of St. Quentin the British were forced to give up a village under a heavy counter attack by fresh German troops. A band of Amerf- cans who had outdistanced their fellows in arms were surrounded on one of the sectors by the Ger
 
 days, during which they killed many of the enemy who sought t0 capture them.
 Northwest of Rheims the St. Trierry massif had been captured and north of the cathedral city the envir0ns of Bethcny have been reached by the Ffench. The Ger mans along this front are in re- treat to their old 1917 line and the French have reached the Aisne canal at several points.
 The French in Champagne and the Americans on their right have made further gains against the Germans in the cleaning out of the Argonne forest and pressing on both sides of this bastion.
 Tn Palestine the British have occupied Damascus and taken more than 1000 Turks prisoner.

 With the American Forces on the Verdun Front. 80 p. m. October 2 (By the Associated Press.)-Gerinan artillery freely sprinkled the areas be- hind the American lines with shells containing sneezing gas and phos- gene. Between the Mouse and the Moselle the Germans directed quite concentrated artillery fire on the American positions. The nervousness of the enemy along the line indicates that he expects an attack.

 The continuation by the entente allied forces of their brilliant achievements In restoring Belgian Flanders and the expulsion of the enemy from further territory in France from the region of Cambrai to yerdun evidently has brought the Germans to the realization that the great bend in the line from Menin to the east of Arras is like 1y to prove another such trap as was the St. Mihiel salient unless they are fast enough of foot to move eastward, giving up Lille, Lens and DOuai and straighten their line from the vicinity of Cambrai to Belgian.
 On all the six battle fronts from Belgium to Verdun the entente forces are keeping up their success full advances, although the Germans everywhere except northwest of Rheims have materially sfiHeneu their front and are offering strong resistance to further inroads into their territory.
 In Belgian Flanders the wedge of the Belgian, British and French troops has penetrated still further eastward and southeastward from Dixmude, and only few miles more will be required by the allied troops to give them positions by which Ostend, one of Germany's sea bases, will be made untenabIe and indeed the entire North sea coast now in German hands put in jeopardy. British vnrships are now violently bOmbarding the coast and the Germans ar erepOrted to be moving their heavy guns eastward, fearful of their capture.
