A (JimhI Measure.
Keprescntivu Burleigh, of Wal
lowa county, will introduce a hill
at tlie coining session of the legis
lature to give tho state county
attorneys instead ol district attor
neys. This certainly would bo an
improvement on the present sys
lein and is the plan now in force
in most of the slates. Each coun
ty in Idaho, lor example, ban it
attorney, mid it ban proved much
more satisfactory to the cople
than the old system of districts
comprising a largo number of
counties. Our legislature, the On
tario Democrat believes, should
pass an act giving each county
in Oregon its own attorney, who
should look after all itt business
and not have bis duties distributed
throughout the various counties
comprising the district)) under the
present system, Dalles Mountain
eer. This is a good Measure and
should be put into effect by our
legislature. Having nocn this kind
ol law in active oicration in Idaho
we arc prepared to speak advisedly
on the matter and can suy that
under such a law the cxiienses in
the county would lie much leu
than at present, in most cases.
While there may lie exceptions we
are certain that in the more, spar
sley settled counties and thoso re
mote from tailroads that it would
lie much the cheaper method of
administering the law. To a cer
tain extent it would make a differ
ence with tho district attorney in
the matter of salary; hut it wotlld
lessen the cost to the taxpayer and
besides give, the citizens of each
county a chance to place one of
their own number in the position
ol county prosecutor. Tlie County
Attorney would be under ' salary
and the county court would fix the
salary every two years unless the
legislature made a fixed salary,
which it could not do unless it took
each county seperntely and mndn a
lor each one, for there is too great
a difference in the population and
