SHERIFF SAYS
HE WILL FIGHT
COUNTY BOARD
Expects to Have Deputy in Office
Despite Action Taken by
Supervisors.
Especial to The Argus.)

Aledo, July 12.-As a result Of
the unexplainable economy" &C
ton recently taken by the Mercer
county board of supervisors when
they cut the salaries of two county
officials down to 81 per year, thus
practically eliminating these Of
fees, citizens of Aledo and the
county are expecting a considerable
mix-up when the board meets in
session in September. The officials
cut to the above salary were the
deputy sheriff and the assistant
superintendent of schools.
Despite the action taken by the
board, however, Sheriff j. p. Flem-
ing states that he expects to have
a deputy after Sept /, when the
boards action is to take effect, and
the deputy will not receive the sal
airy as set by the board, of 81 per
year. A recent order issued in
circuit court by Judge w. T.
Church authorized Sheriff Fleming
to secure if necessary, four depu-
ties for his Office. In case the sup
ervisors refused to pay more than
the voted for 81 per year salary,
these officials can sue the county
for reasonable amount of pay
The fact that Sheriff Fleming
will put up a fight for his right
to employ deputy at all times was
evident from his spirit when inter
viewed by an Argus reporter:
las ordered by the circuit court l
expect to have a deputy in my Of
fee at all times. However, it will
~ he 20
the law allows me, unless special
duties come up during court ses-
sions. l believe that the action re-
Gently taken by the board of super
yisors was partly through personal
of certain members
OF the board, and should l choose 1
might retaliate in like spirit But I
realize that my first duty is to the
taxpayers and residents of Mercer
county, and l expect to keep only
enough office assistance to carry on
an efficient discharge of my official
duties, which as l gee it, is practic-
ing true economy. l am as much
interested in reducing the expenses
of my Office as any member of the
board, but l don't believe in making
the office less efficient in doing it.
The recent action of Judge Church
is a rebuke to the board for their
action in attempting to deprive me
of my duty.
Stand Reasonable.
Il am convinced that my stand !
IN the matter is a reasonable one
and that l have public sentiment /
with me in this fight" said the /
sheriff. From indications caused nv /
the criticism of the members of the |
board who voted for this measure,
II is evident that public sentiment
is all with the county officials.
L do not expect that the super
Vlsors Will take any action concern
ing this matter before the next
regular meeting in September" said
onerl1 Fleming. But when they
meet then, 1 expect to be on hand /
and believe me, 1 expect to fight to
a finish"

nothing Of others we are not willing
