Show 11 OF the little disagreement between officials of the bo court house is bringing in to aig what enormous profits there here i are in public office in this county it argues strongly that Es QuinER was correct when it began a campaign for lower salaries in public positions judge JONES has made iao BO more considering the time he has bag devoted to I 1 the he county than have hare other county officers and this attack is now made on atio probate judge because he has hearkened to the cry of the I 1 lie people and has iad the boldness bold nesa to come out and advocate abo reduction of salaries he said ii iu hubs substance lance before the county ty court at the last session gentlemen this proposition of mine to reduce wages is not for partisan purposes I 1 was not actuated by partisan motives in asking that the reduction be made it has haa made my h heartsick art sick tobit to sit here wi with thou ou on the county board of equalization and listen to the pleadings of poor people for a reduction of taxes I 1 am convinced that no reduction redaction can be made unless we remove the because cause for taxes the mait affat f is ia conr county salaries we hohti cat bawn nearly all other und tind I 1 thought this reduction aught tu elwe home to myself I 1 waa willing to bland aland a twenty five I 1 per cent reduction and I 1 think officers should be willing to do the same those are generous words and ought to find fand au an echo deep down in I 1 the hearts of many taxpayers tax payers our oar taxation this year is 13 a grievous burden ort on the people and any man who works to lighten that burden is hound to gain the respect and good will of the people tim THE enquirer has no defense to make for judge tors JOSES high salary we say emphatically it is too high hi h ue he says himself it is ia too hiah and bai ha voluntarily moved to have it reduced inasmuch aa he has magnanimously done this we submit that it is ia unfair for the other officers eera of the county to single him ha out ont as a target for the censure of a community that is already indignant oyer over our high salaries juie judge jui e JONES has haa been devoting nearly hi entire time to tho tha business of the county he may nearly always ba found at hid post of culyat the court house ito he is an energetic worker and a capable public officer for his services he got last year 1100 if the selectmen had devoted their entire time to the county as the judge has bas aol ana at the name mame rate of wadea wa es they have hava been re reserving rese ei iving ving the profits of their office would have been each I 1 about 1500 a year judge JOKES jo has done dan as much county work dorkas as all three of them and the committee on file at the cloran office will bear us ur out in this statement stat emeriL now compare the salary of the probate jud judo judge ra o with that of the county attorney according to mr own statement in the report made in the county court over his bia signature he ha gets GOO COO per annum and ana the duties of the office take only one abl third rd ot of his time I 1 f he devoted his whole timo time to tha office at the same rate of salary for every four months he would be getting 1800 per annum that is more than judge ever got there are ara work days in tho the year mr GASH says he devotes one third of his bis time to his county office which would be 10 days a year divide that number into and you will wilf find that our learned attorney gets per day which is more than the probate judge gets from all his big offices mr gasu GASH re ra commends over his awn signature that his salary be not cot cat down now as to that strong point made by the learned attorney against J adge jo dixs that he has been receiving a salary from another office while working as probate judge the proposition isso is so absurd that we hesitate in seriously considering it we wonder it if selectman jo joses nite salary as superintendent of the spanish
