Padgett, .1 i County Attorcey. Editor The Prea# and Standard : Two or throe times recently your oorrespondenta hnva inquired for me, and my mother taught me that H waa impolite.to refuse to answer when spoken to. I approach the 1 A with some misgiving, but my eppreelatlon of the compliment paid me Impels me to “show up." 1 wish to say Amen to that very pentir.ent and- sensible article from the pen of (’apt. Way in your li-vt Issue, (’apt. Way has been (o the legislature, and knows something of the obligation which an honest representative feels resting jupon him when he is acting iK»t for'him- self, hut tor the people whom he represents. / He pr-ys his respects, very mildly, to the read law, and I wish to do so as mildly as the ufily thing will permjt. First, let me aak. What la the difference between a highway com missioner and a supervisor? Not one whit that I can see. except, that Ir* this caaae, the highway commis sioner la appointed by the governor and |t was necessary to do It thla way In order thr-t the delegation could rope |t In. Then another difference is that w* have ten County Commissi on era inatend of three aa heretofore. Now the peo ple can have this office an It only pays 950 per annum and of gourae no member of the delegation will ever want ibis. And again I wish te ask. By what authority the gov ernor make* an appointment for four yenraf Thla term of office will Irp cleer over the governor's auccessor aa*d Into the term of the third man. so that every other gov ernor only, will have a chance at thla appointment. When the Su pervisor wd the Superintendent of Education were made four year offices, the Auditor and Tree surer would have been treated likewise but for the reason that the gov ernor's term waa oNy two year* r-nd he could not appoint for a long er term than his own. But then the extraordinary man who holds the relna of government and de nudes the fair nr-me of our be loved State today can do thinrs which no other governor ever did. Even the President of the United states muk's no appointments for a lorger term than his own, exc*ot ••rdrr Civil Service rules. Our delcgrtlon stood with hats off to eerve Cole Rlease at every heek and £all. but 1 don’t think anvhody «oo hl’nd to see through it »ll. The devil said of Job.
