No Jail Feeding Graft
The final decision of the supreme
court stopping Sheriff McSftane's
attempt to perpetrate a gigantic
jail feeding graft is a great victory
for the taxpayers of Douglas county.
While The Bee takes special
credit to itself for scotching this
$50,000 steal, it would not have
been successfully blocked exoept for
the vigorous and uncompromising
fight made upon it by the members
of the county board, nnd particu
larly by County Commissioner
Lynch,
The outcome leaves in a pitiable
plight those who tried to help along
the graft by assailing the commis
sioners for spending a few dollars
to defend the suits brought by the
sheriff, and thus save the taxpay
ers all this money.
This decision against the $50,000
jail feeding graft inspires hope that
the taxpayers may likewise win out
p gainst the effort of District Court
Clerk Robert Smith to pooket
$15,000 to $20,000 of naturaliza
tion and insanity fees in addition
to his $4,000 a year salary.
