!lt;re had passed law At D7''"'"'' ''','''
1913, recurring that commissions to the OH
GERS of the State shall be paid for on delivery
The law imposes the following Sums
Clerl; Of the County ......,...............S5 500

All other persons holding evil appointments
under the Governor such as justices Of the
peace, Sc, 81 each.
This law is very good as far as 1t goes, but
the charges are not high enough. County
Clerks and Registers could well afford TO pay
$500 for their commissions, whilst they are al
lowed to receive their present compcnSattonS,
which we hope Will not be long for wc trust
that the present legislature viii! limit their pay
to reasonable sum, and pat the balance OF
their receipts into the public treasury Justice
to the public requires this measure, and we hope
that the members of the legislature VIII have
the firmncss to pass it.
