meritorious. The law does
not state that this shall be
done, and the blanks that I
have been trying to use up
ever since I have been in of-
fice, quite a supply of which
was left by my predecessor,
do not provide for putting
the years in. This never was
done ...
“I think that there should
be a law compelling this
method of bookkeeping on
the part of all officers con-
cerned in the matter. These
certificates should be made
in triplicate instead of du-
plicate, so that the recorder,
or school clerk, could keep
a copy, the treasurer a copy,
and the third be filed with
the county clerk, as the du-
plicate is now.”
Mr. Mosier took up
the matter of straighten-
ing out Prairie’s special
tax promptly, and with the
change to the new sys-
tem there will be far less
chance of the mistake being
made.

Jails
Sheriff Hazeltine says
that jail business has fall-
en off. And he says that the
same report comes from
many sheriffs that he has
talked to.
The upturn in industry
and increase in employment
is responsible. Men are get-
ting jobs instead of going to
jail.
