THE PLACE TO SAVE MONEY.
POORLY PAID OFFICERS
FIRST STEP IN LAW ENFORCE-
MENT IS TO PAY THE
OFFICERS
Since a healthy moral sentiment
bus been aroused In the city and
throughout tho county and since the
people have begun to talk law and
order Instcnd of laughing at the defeat
of Justice there has been some criti-
cisms made ugnlnst the officers of
the county. Wluthor the criticisms
nro Just or not they have boon made.
A citizen who has an opportunity of
keeping In touch with county affairs
said yestonlay he believed a man
should first receive full pay for his
work before criticisms were offered.
Fred Williams who Is doing faith-
ful wjrk is borrowing money until ho
can get his pay. W. 13. luidrur.i ".ays
ho has received from the county
nbout $17 the past six mouths nud
F. K. West has tocoIvohII $10 since tho
first of July. Those amounts were re-
ceived for criminal work and Is a very
small sum. Thoy havo received some
amounts on civil work.
Mr. Matson of tho attorney's office
wns seen about tho matter yesterday.
He said that tho officers cannot get
tholr pay oxcopt In felony ensos until
the sheriff makes nffldavlt that fees
cannot Iw collected from any other
source except from tho county. At tho
mooting Monday nlnht tho people
should show the oricora thoy nro with
thorn In tho enforcement of the law
by making nn lioneat of fort to aoe that
tho county has u well paid force of
officers. Tho county coniiiilssIonerH
cannot mnko provisions for lnmi.Hate
payments without violating the law
but the citizens who nre looking to
thoso men to enforce the law can cer-
tainly relievo thoni of onibarrassniont.
