Deputy Auditor Wilson has just completed his summary of the taxes pall Into the county treasury this spring, anl yesterday forwarded a cpy to the state treasurer to have when Treasurer Heal goes down next week to make his settlement. V v people realize the larga sum of money that Grant county contributes toward the support of th state, county and township machinery. That portion that goes ta the state the state officers enrol and expend under the provisions of the law. Th county commissioners have under their control from money paid in at th spring installment over '." .en.i. But it is tlithirteen county trustees who control the largest furl in Grant county. Many people think that the office cf township trustee is a minor and unimportant one. but when it is considered that the welfare of the majority of ths people of the county is more closely connected with this office than any other elected the importance of naming goo.l business men is a parent. In their hands is iommittol the welfare of the school system of a township, and just as the township trustee takes an interest in the S'-lmols just fo will the schools off that township rank with seh.vds from, other townships. It is the trustee who appoints rad supervisors and sees that the roads re kept in repair. If a' bridge is w; shed out the township trustee is notified at once, unl it is that individual who must take the blame often-tim.-s when he cannot give the assistance needed. He has charge of the poor of his township, and a thousand and ons other things that require men of soma executive ability to attend to. Upon some :uhje?ts the law Is very cmphatio as to the duties of the trustee, but upon others it is entirely silent, leaving many things to the good sense of tiie trustee. Marion Chronicle.
