FEE SYSTEM
AND JUSTICE
Far better that ten guilty
- - ? j v
persons should go iree, man
that one. innocent person
should be punished, is an
axom of the law.
We presume that most
persons caught at a whiskey
still are guilty of breaking
the prohibition laws and as
offenders should be punished
as prescribed by the law.
If this is not just and according
to popular will, then the
law should be changed.
At the same time it is conceivable
that an innocent i
person may be caught by officers
at a still. That is a|
matter to be settled without'
bias by our courts if the
courts and the law are notj
to be brought into disrespect.
We hold that any fee
system in the prosecution of I
such person tends to defeat!
impartial justice and for this
reason we oppose it as a
matter of principle.
It is possible that every
link in the chain that leads
from the arrest to the verdict
of judge is of pure gold
and that self-interest will
play no part in the final verdict.
At the same time it is
conceivable that one of these
links may be just a little bit
tarnished.
And so it is within the
realm of possibility that an
innocent person may be arrested
at a still and be
brought before a magistrate
for a preliminary hearing.
The scales of justice are first
brought into play here and
evidence is weighed. If the
defendant is freed, the officer
is out just $25, the
magistrate, loses his fees as
well. Testimony and verdict
* < *__
are subject to being miiuenced
by personal interest in
the first step of court procedure.
After the magistrate has
found probable cause and
sent the case to the Recorder's
Court, it is possible that
the Solicitor may be inclined
to believe that the accused
is not guilty and take a nonsuit,
but under the present
system, if he does he will
lose a $5 fee. It is upon the
evidence of the arresting officer
that the Solicitor will
depend for conviction, and
if this testimony is too favorable
to the defendant the
case will be lost. In that
event the officer will be out
$25; the solicitor $5, and
the magistrate a few dollars
costs in the case.
Just so long as such s
system exists not only wil
be enacted a travesty upor
justice whenever an accused
is brought into court, but
the guilty will be freed along
with the innocent by juries
whose members are citizens
who see the pettiness, the
shalm, the hypocrisy and in
justice of it all, and the
courts and the law will be
dragged down another stej
toward public contempt.

FOR TAX RELIEF
Editor, Warren Record, Sir:?In
your last issue you stated that any
promise made by a candidate for
the Legislature to economize
'should be disregarded," -and in the
next column appeared a statement
by me that I favored reducing expenses.
I wish to substantiate my
statement by the following facts.
Everyone knows that my campaign
two years ago was fcr economy
and equalization, and I refer
you to any member of the last Gen.
eral Assembly to prove that I stuck
.0 it truly and persistently, through
all kinds of opposition for nearly
five months, with as much zeal and
earnestness as any one could and
by it helped to get some tax relief.
I refer you to the house Journal
which shows accurately how every
cne voted on every tax bill, so that
you may have indesputable evidence
as to how I voted upon these
bills. It contains too many instances
to even give the number of them
here on the pages upon which they
appear. I refer you to Senator Rod.
well to prove that I proposed to
him that we reduce the number of
salaried officials of the county and
the salaries of others and that he
refused and stated that "he did not
think there were too many officers
or deputies or that they were
getting too much." Had he agreed
to it, you would be already convinced
that I was honest abcut it.
I refer you to Senate Bill No. 420
authorizing the commissioners of
certain counties, Warren county included,
to levy a special tax of five
cents for certain purposes. See
Senate Journal, pages 304, 313, 332,
and 338. It passed the Senate Rod.
well voting for it
I refer you to public laws of 1932
chapter '41, page 756 to prove that
Warren County was exempted from
its provisions in the House, and 1
refer you to Mr. John L. Skinnei
to prove that I had it done againsl
his energetic lobbying in the House
to get it through, for which he ha*
upon several pubhc occasions denounced
my conduct as a represen.
tative.
Now Mr. Editor I want you tc
know, as you seem to doubt it, thai
my promise is as gocd and sacrec
as your oath.
If I am elected to the next Gen.
eral Assembly the laws of God anc
the need and wishes of my fellow
man as I understand them wil
regulate my conduct as a representative.
I want to say also that the devi
has run politics so long, that anj

that two of the defendants were

that some people do not like the
idea of Federal Court. I do.
It seems hard to draw a Jury in
Warrenton that will convict a

jury to tell me that they did not
doubt the defendant's guilt but
did not like the way we caught
him. (I suppose they meant with
liquor on him). They found him J
"Not Guilty."

I had the same power and author,

been said in court by our county
attorney that the sheriff hag no
right to appoint deputies to act
when not with him unless ordered
on the special occasion. Judge Taylor
says he can find no laws that
give him the right to do so. Now
that my deputies have been disarmed
why is it that nothing has
been said or is being said of his
deputies doing the same work. As
for the feies paid, a sheriff's deputy
gets $20.00 for capture of a still.
Exactly the same as I get and he
gets $20.00 for the capture of a
man.

me this fee than to pay the sher.
