which he is almost daily subjected.
He went on to point out that before
Mr.. Richmond was elected sheriff
the Office was worth $4,000 a year,
for the reason that his predeces-
sOrs followed the custom Of pocket
ing foreign fees and met the cost
of feeding prisoners from an ample
allowance. Mr.. Richmond, he said,
requested the salary basis, and that
this plan has been faithfully fol-
lowed, first by the late Jake Wig
gers and then himself. All foreign
fees are now received by the coun-
ty, he declared.
The sheriff said further that there
is nothing in the Office for any hold
er unless he is CROOKED. "Of
course" he continued, "all politi-
clans are said to be crooked, but l
say this isn't true. l have $4,000
in the bank, and my account is
open to inspection at any time"
Supervisor Fayette Skinner,
South Rock Island, expressed opin-
ion that there must be some incen-
tive in the salaries, for there never
seemed to be dearth of aspirants
for the various Offices The matter
went back to the committee by a
vote of % to 6. When it was re-
turned this morning, all salaries
were presented as separate reports,
and no increases we're recommend
ed except for probate Judge and
treasurer.

statements from some of the mem

would be opposed to a general in.
