Not only the enforcement of law, but
the amount of taxes you pay depend
upon the energy and good judgment
of your county Attorney. It is thv:
certainty of conviction that keeps
down crime, and not numerous fruit
less prosecutions. My observation is
that when you begin harpooning the
big fish the smaller ones take to cover.
To save the expense of newspaper
space 1 have oiiiy outlined in a gener-
al way my ideas of the duty of a
County Attorney.
If I have failed to make nfyaeli

By far the greater part of the tax
es you pay depend on the action of the
County Attorney. The expenses of the
Sheriff's Office and District and Coun-
ty Courts are largely incurred or kept
down by the County Attorney. In fact
the Sheriff nor^the Courts can deal
with a felony case until the County
Attorney files the complaint and en
dorses it as follows, "I have examined
the facts in this case and recommend
that a warrant do issue." This means
all the facts reasonably to be discov-
ered by the County Attorney, anfl
means that if necessary he go to the
the scene of the crime, examine both
sides of the case and try and deter-
mine if he is about to start a fruitless
case, meaning great expense to the
tax-payers and annoyance to individ-
uals. ,.
If the County Attorney fiails to auth
orize a warrant in a misdemeanor
case, the County is not liabl for the
costs of the case. Good men often,
form personal feeling, seek the arrest
of another for a small offense. This
rule of law if enforced would stop
such cases, in which the County is
really not concerned or it would save
the expense of the case to the tax-
payers. .
Most misdemeanors can be tried be-
fore a Justice of the Peace. My pol-
icy would be to try such cases in the
township where they happened and
save the time of witnesses coming to
