II. C. Wnt sm and Wea therfonl Wyatt are the attorneys for plain tiff. . past. He said the fact that the dis tiiet attorneys were here in powerful lobby was notice to the reoresenta- tives of the people that they should Fcnttinize it carefully. Mr. Curtis spoke in favor of the bill as a valu able measure for the destruction of the lernkious fee system; that It takes the burden off the several counties a.nd P'.'ecH it upon the state: that it mak s th". district attorney ilay his own dep uties. He thought it an exc ellent bill. Mr, Whitney favored The bill because it oltliterates the fee system and the opportunities of ."working up" crim inal actions. He and Mr. Curtis said they both spoke from experience, as thf-y had filled that office' and' knew how it was "worked." He thought the salaries provided are none too high. Mr. Mr-Court1 thought it was sorhew4i.it-amui-iiTg to hear the last two gentle men advocating the measure, both' be? ing dej.uty -district attorneys. There, was no particular objection offered to the bill yet; It was only asked to send It biwk to thecommittet?, so that a full Investigation could be had. He amend- the Issue of the I ea.ur- loppings motion by asking the irirmnce ox me Din to committee on salaries of state and county officers. Mr. IteedeV, chairman of the Judiciary, committee, a former district attorney also, explained the bill and advocated its merits, saying the intentionf, in framing the bill, was to allow the of ficers $3,000 above his expense for dep uties. He said the office ought not to be considered a school for upstart young lawyers, but that It was a re sponsible office, to be filled by able. practiced attorneys,- and that the sal aries were none too high. Mr. Topping thought that Mr. Reeder might know what is the Just and correct amount for the officer in his own district, but was scarcely competent to determine are acres remain unsold., "There can be no doubt that the dis posal of this vast amount of valuable timber land, at the low price of $2.50 per acre has resulted in a great loss to the state. "It Has been bought largely by syn dicates of .capitalists for sieculative purposes, a great deal of which ha? already been resold for sulvis reaching twice that paid to the state. Large tracts of this land support some of the finest milling timber in the United states, and when it is ready for ac tual use, which It will be when the object of its purchase is realized, the timber Itself, standing, will usually be worth from $6 to $10 an acre; "These lands should not -have' been put upon the tnarkel at all. for they furnish no homes for' actual settlers, and in parting with them the state has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. "In view of these facts I sutrirest that a lawshou!d be passed at once withdrawing the remainder of this indemnity land from sale altogether, and lt the school children of the state.
