'1 his is a good law in spirit, but in practice isalready shamefully abused.

This law never intended that old soldiers should be furnished with all kinds of luxuries nor Hail children over 14 years of age live on county grub and thereby be exempt from earning a living, 'i he board was so often censured for allowing these' soldier accounts that they had the act concerning it published in the i llicial paper. A year ago some of the bills presented contained tier cent for tobacco, oilier luxuries, expensive dresses and trimmings, tnioks, etc. The' Imard com liid' ii thjii the lime had come to lop o'l f.ii -meh -upei ilui'i ies and they Ibid it had a wholesome effect.

A'b years ayo the i.ixv was that where the sheriff failed to collect lie received no pay. That was a jfood law and should he on our statute book to-dav. Tlie sheriff has ids deputies scattered all over the country who do his collecting.

Suppose tlie slierilf wants to collect tax warrants Nos. 1:7, 7 and all in Krving township, lie sends these warrants lo his deputy nearest Krvinir, who as soon as he opens Hiem sees that two or the men against whom the tax warrants had been issued had left the state, Ihe other three he fails to collect. lie makes out his bill against the county for trying to collect live tax warrants. Ten cents a mile, each way, from and to ami fees for each warrant. Total cost.

Those tax warrants amounted cents and he brings a claim ol against the ('ouuiv, when he knew before he left his home that he could not collect cent. This is sowing to the wind and reaping the whirlwind. Think of a Jewell county man who held an account of ten' cents against man in Concordia taking a train to that place, incurring the expenses of the trip, and returning with ids ten cent piece. The slierilf is nol to blame when the law makes it his duty to try to collect these warrants, but, the people are to blame if flu' tolerate such a law on the statute hook. In conversat ion with a deputy who had ii few snug tittle bills against the county he admitted freely thai the taw whs swindle on the lax-payers I'eople should blame the law and' not the, board for allowing these accounts.

The writer lias tin fault to II rid will) Ihe county health officer, hut betakes objection to the law that taxes the county for ihe registration of marriage, births and deaths. After tliecoiinly expends annually a few hundred Hollars in this line it has nothing to show for il oui lay but an imperfect, useless record which will never henotif any one except, i ne compiler and publisher. I hero is a general eoniplaiutagainst, the board that they no not scriiieme accounts against I lie county as closely as I hey should, that many bills are not aslully itemized as the 'law requires and yet aie ailoxved.

It seems reasonable 1 ha I these hones! people would make out their accounts, providing their al tcn-lloli was called lo the necessity of the case, in such a manner thai file commissioners could once see he correct ess of heir bills. Kxperience has proven that instead of aiding the board, many feel insulted and in their anger do nol see that the business of the county cannot be carried on upon business prhiciplesexcepl they present their accounts in an in telligent manner, The three members of the present noarii nine agreed to malic it a rule that when accounts are presented nave agreed to make it a rule which do not show am whelher the charges are laxvful and ordinary for such service, labor or goods thcy'w'dl.
