OTTAWA FREE TRADED; SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1881.
Onr Model Sheriff.
To tho Free Trader.
The economist in quest ot model county
oillccrs, may study with profit tho statuto on
Fees and Salaries, chapter 5:), which, on the
subject of sheriff's fees, anions other things,
provides m substsnco as follows:
For dieting prisoners the sheriff shall re
celve such compensation as will cover actual
t; for attending county and circuit courts,
three dollars per day, and two dollars per day
when attending county court while sitting for
proba'43 business at request of the judge; for
attending supreme court three dollars per uay ;
for conveying a prisoner to .loliet or to tiie re
form school at Pontiac, twenty-five cents for
each mile of necessary travel in coingto Joliet
or Pontiac pay from the state; and tor con
vcying a patieut to Klgin, twenty-five cents for
each tuilo ot necessary travel going to hlgin
pay from the county.
In criminal cases no fees shall be paid to the
sheriff out of the county treasury, when the
fees collected by him during the year shall
equal the compensation or salary allowed him
by tho county board. "And provided farther,
that no more vf such fees shall in any cane be
paid from the county treasury than shall be suf
ficient, trith the fees collected, to make the salary
or compensation of such sheriff." hvery six
months he shall make an intelligent report in
writing to tho county board of tho earnings,
receipts and expenditures of his office, ot every
manner and character.
By virtue of the foregoing statutory provis
ions, during the first year of his administra
tion our "model sheriff" received from the
county payment as follows: Dieting prison
ers, 1,491, at least a clear gain of ftiOO; turn
key fees, 83.50, a clear gain.
Cash expended. Conveying eight prisoners
to Joliet, 29.:iG; bringing three more from
Kankakee and two from Streator to Ottawa,
47.48 ; serving writ of attachment at Lostant,
7.00; conveying two boys to Pontiac, 13.50;
conveying five patients to Elgin, $61.00; Jas.
Carew, his proxy, carting prisoners to depot,
12.50; and so on.
The amounts under head of "Cash Expend
ed" are virtually twice paid by the county
tfrst in Its allowance of irom 1,300 to $1,700
annually for traveling expenses, allowances,
by the way, ingeniously figured by the rule of
alias, shamefully large and again paid when
it audited tho bills for the above amounts.
The state pays the sheriff the large fee of.
Iwenty.flve cents a mile for carrying prisoners
to Joliet and Pontiac, and the county the same
amount for carrying patients to Elgin. The
statute docs not contemplate that tho state or
county shall make "Model Sheriff" a clean
cash gift of these large fees, which will aggre
gate hundreds of dollars during his term of
office. On the contrary it does iutend that the
sheriff shall pay his own expenses out of the
tees and then have a good living margin left.
During the first year of his term "Model
Sheriff" personally attended circuit and coun
ty court 013 days and received additional pay for
187 days' attendance by deputy, tor which the
statute makes no provision whatever, mailing
a grand total of 800 days In one year, receiving
therefor 2,088. In addition to this estimate,
he is personally (we say personally, because in
these days of reform there are no straw duties
tor models to perform) In attendance on the
supreme and appellate courts several sessions
during bis term of office for which he re
ceived several hundred dollars more, but cutely
resolved them into pin money outside mat
ers, you know by use of that ambiguous
friend to county officers, "Allowances." These
fees, however, seem to be new perquisites un
der tho salary system.
During the first year of "Model Sheriff's"
term he received Irom the county treasury, for
doing criminal business, (much of the same
beiug absolutely straw services rendered), 2,-
$23.81, 2,752.83 of this amount being re
ceivtd In direct violation of the law, herein
before quoted. Because his statements of ac
count, his reports, ambiguous and lacking as
they arc, and his settlement with the county
board all show, that he received enough from
civil business, lacking $09.98, to cover all sal
ary or compensation allowed him by the coun
ty board. True, 2,752.83 would lubricate
many political journals, and he may have paid
-some of it back into the treasury after using
it a long time, but the statute says he shall
never receive any of the fees tor criminal busi
ness when the other receipts of his oflice are
equal to his salary or compensation, and when
Jiey are not, ho shall in no case receive ont
cent more than enough to make up the uefl
ciency.
"Model Sheriff's" "Reports and Statements"
are eloquently silent on everything but moneys
due from the county moneys due moneys-
1ue. Silent on "'foreign court business," si
lent on supreme and appellate court business
silent on turnkey fees; also silent on the sub
ject of conveying prisoners to Joliet and Pon
tiac, and for conveying patients to Elgin
items which run up largely during a term ot
office. Wonder ir they all go with supremi
court per diem perquisites :
Among other seemingly strange thing'
"Model Sheriff," in addition to a large corps
of deputies, has four bailiffs the court yenr
round, at a daily expense to the county ot 10,
and this, too, for doing tho same work that
Sheriff Mclntire did with a moderate numbei
of deputies and tiro bailiffs, except during
sessions ot the grand jury, when he had a
third. True, this large army of smiling aid
;s useful in working up a re-election ; but can
the county well afford tno rare luxury of a
"Model Sheriff" and bland "office deputy" to
stand on the sidewalk talking political "big
injun," studying the financial multiplication
table, making bills, &c? Tell us more of
lenure tell us in your next
jEKrtE 1. Ut'OKU.

company adjourned to the parochial residence at
No. 135 Adams street, where they partook of a
substantial repast.
The Taxes.
"Taxes What a nation pays for glory." Sid
ney Smith 0771-1W5) has well enumerated the
fruits of an insane desire for national aggran
dizement, a Including: "Taxes upon every ar
ticle which enters into the mouth, or covers the
hack, or is placed under the foot taxes upon
every thing which It is pleasant to see, hear, feel,
mell or taste taxes upon warmth, light and lo.
comotion taxes on every thing on earth, and
the waters under the earth on every thing that
comes from abroad, or Is grown at home taxes
on the raw material taxes on every freth value
that is added to it by the Industry of man taxes
on the sauce which pampers man's appetite, and
the drug that restores him to health on the er
mine which decorates the judge, and the rope
which hangs the criminal on the poor man's
salt, and the rich man s spice on the brass nails
of the coffin, and the ribbons of the bride at tied
or board, couchant or levant, we must pay. The
schoolboy whips bis taxed top tbe beardless
youth manages bis taxed horse, wlthataxcd bri
dle, on a taxed road; and the dying Englishman,
pouring his medicine, which has paid 7 percent.,
into a spoon that has paid 15 per cent., flings
himself back upon his chintz bed, which has paid
22 per cent., and expires In the arms of an
apothecary who has paid a license of a hundred
pounds for the privilege of putting him to death,
flis whole property is then immediately taxed
from 2 to 10 per cent. Besides the probate, large
fees are demanded for burying him in the chan
cel; his virtues are handed down to posterity on
taxed marble; and be is then gathered to his
fathers to be taxed no more."
Taxes are interesting to those who pay them.
As noet of the books of La Salle county's towns
are now in the hands of the collectors, the fol
lowing abstracts from the balance sheet will not
b without Interest to La Salle couuty readers,
as showing how much cash said collectors will
call for during the next lew week
