A SAP KOI.L-CAL.L TO-NIGHT
In Memory of a Departed Comrade, Ml
John Rhodes, by L. M. J.
Auain. rt halt in tho ranks is made,
In the ranks of those who their country
saved :
Again, do wo gather 'round camp-fire
bl'iL'ht.
And listen anew to tho roll call to-night,
Tim recent convention at Reading, I'a.,
of the County Commissioners ol every
part of the State was largely attended.
and the sessions said to have been quite
interesting. The Philadelphia hedrrr
summarizes the work of the body, from
which tho following is quoted :
To relieve counties from the payment
of unnecessary costs in petty criminal
cases in which the defendant is dis-
harged for want of evidence, the Com
missioners desire the passaue of a law
which will place the costs of the i iifound-
ed accusation upon tho prosecutor, and
that the county he relieved from the pay
ment of costs in all misdemeanors where
the jury puts the costs upon the parties
or either of them. This is a proper pun
ishment for the instigator of an unfound
ed prospouiion ; but the innocent w it
nesses who are forced to testify on one
side or the other of the controversy
would not be provided for under the pro
posed legislation. The situation is not
without is difficulties, but it is possible
that tho Legislature may find some way
to put an end to the petty prosecutions
that crowd the court dockets, run up
public expenses and delay the important
business ol our legal tribunals. The
abuse is relatively much greater in th
counties whore tho magistrates aro un
salaried. There is not a court in the state
which has not frequently rebuked jus
tices of tho peace for returning small
misdemeanors which the minor judiciary
could, legally, and should settle in their
own offices.
The Commissioners RUggest that the
constitution should be amended in order
that county officials throughout the state
may be compensated by salaries and not
by fees. The temptation to mako over
charge is irrosistahlo with some c unity
oillcers. When all fees go Into the pub
lic treasury this inspiration is removed.
he constitution provides that in coun
ties having a greater population than
)(),000 inhabitants, all county officers
shall be paid by salary. This is an arbi
trary limitation as to population, and
there is no sufficient reason why all
county officers in tho state should not be
salaried positions under proper classifica
tions. There is constant friction between
suitois and county officials who are re
munerated by fees, and the courts are
often obliged to investigate unwarranted
and illegal transactions of this character.
Other important suggestions mado by
the convention are those recommending
that all county, school, borough, town
ship and road taxes bo a lirst ben on real
estate, and that provision be made for
their collection in the samo manner m
the municipal liens of cities; that a con
stitutional amendment be passed pro
vidimr for the holding of only one elec
tion every year, and that ono registration
a year shall be made ot voters instead oi
two. as now reouired by law. Hills em
bodying these propositions in uotaii win
bn Presented to the next Legislature.
Some of the changes proposed are radical
and require thorough discussion.'

Tho new set of road books which is
to be issued by tho Pennsj lvanla Divi
sion of tho L. A. W. next spring is now-
well under way and advance proofs of
some of tho pages fully warrant tho
statement mado some time ago that they
would when completed be tho best pub
lications over gottou out. In tho genoral
arrangement of tho books a combin ation
of several plans heretofore adopted has
been mado, bringing togother what. is bo
lioved to bo tho best features of each.
Each book, instead of containing only
ono large map on a necessarily small
scale, will contain one general map of
tho territory covered, and in the body
numerous smaller maps of special dis
tricts, favorite roads, etc, Theso will bo
accompanied by descriptions of tho ter
liiory covered, given with accuracy and
much detail, and in many cases with
brief reference to points of interest, his
torical and otherwise, of value to any
rider other than tho "scorcher" bent only
on rolling up mileage. At tho head of
about every othor page will be a tabu
lated arrangement of the roads described
in tho text and covered by the maps, tho
same as is used in the present State road
book, showing the distances botweeu
points, the condition of tho roads and tho
directions covering the routo to which
tho text refers.
By this arrangement a rider can by tho
use of tho ''onoral map lay out a routo
which ho desires to traverse; the tabu
lated matter will show tho various points
ou tho routo and give general directions
and Information necessary.
Tho Seeietary-Treasiirer states that by
tho time the L. A. W. renewal season,
w hich commences on April I, arrives the
iooks will bo ready for distribution, and
every member who joins during this fall
and winter, as well as thoso who renew
their membership, will receive a copy of
the book covering the section of tho State
in which ho resides, with tho privilege of
purchasing the other bo iks in tho set at
the cost of printing. They will not 1)0
