County Clerks Fees.

An important decision has just beer
rendered by the state supreme court
affecting the fees received by county
clerks. The action was originally
brought by the county attorney oil
Graham County to recover fees from
B. Van Slyck who had received and
failed to account for fees paid into
his Office. Judge Smith decided that
all fees collected by the county clerk
belonged to the county, but further
held that Mr., Van Slyck was not liza
BILE for the fees because of the lapse
of time before the suit was COM
menced against him. Some time
later Attorney General Little rem
dered an opinion in which he held
that "all fees collected by the county
clerk except possibly such compensa-
ton as may be allowed by the county
commissioners as provided in section
LAG, shall revert to the county,"
Soon after the publication of Attor-
ney General Little's opinion, &. w.
Crane wrote a letter in reference to
the matter which was published in
the Capital of about September 20.
Following is copy of his letter:
Topeka, Kan, September %.
TO the Editor of the Capital:
In your issue of last Sunday you
published an opinion of Attorney
General Little, in regard to the dis
position of fees received by county
clerks, in which he takes the position
that "all fees collected by the county
clerk except possibly such compensa-
ton as may be allowed by the county
commissioners as provided in section
LAG" shall revert to the county.
In 1877 the question was submitted
to Attorney General Davis in refer
ence to fees in transfer cases. The
following is copy of his opinion:
II "You ask whether or not the
new law In regard to transfers con-
templates that the clerks shall &C.
count for fees received for such, the
same as fees received for services
specified IN chapter SO, laws of 1852"
10 which | have to say, that chapter
SO, laws of 1875, regulating the salar-
les of county clerks, had for its basis
of compensation all the services by
law then required to be performed.
The act approved March, 1877, amend
ing and repeating section 3 of said
chapter 96, act Of 1875, simply chang
es the terms at which the county clerk
shall report the fees charged and

STATISTICS show that 06 per cent OF
our trade is domestic and only A per
cent foreign. Now dosen't it seem
ridiculous that our money should be
made so as to suit the foreigner who
sells us S4 worth Of goods rather than
our own people who sell us $06 worth
But that is exactly what the gold
standard men propose to do. They
say our dollar must be good in Eur
ope, or it will not be good in America,
md hence it is the gold dollar. The
98 per cent of our commerce can use
the silver and greenback to much
greater advantage, but its wishes are
disregarded and onr money fashioned
to please the insignificant A per cent
of trade, whose will is law. Out

collected under provisions OF said
chapter SO, act Of 1875, and 1 think
can have no relation to the act APP
proved March 5, 1877, being an act IN
relation to the transfers Of real estate
in the name of the owner, and the
fees authorized Hereunder. This
act imposes on the county clerks new
duties and such as were certainly not
contemplated by the authors OF said
act Of 1875. Under chapter 06, act
Of 1875, the county clerk shall charge
and collect for the use Of the county
certain fees. In the recent act re-
lating to transfers, the authors say
that the county clerk shall receive
certain fees and they give no direction
as to their disposition. Hence, in the
absence OF anv direction as to the
disposition of the fees for transfers,
/ think the legislature not only in.
tended that the county clerk shall
receive the fees but that he may re-
tain them. II this be the law, and l
think it is, these fees do not go into
the county fund, and are not to be
deducted from the salaries Of the
county clerks WILLARD DAVIS,
Attorney General"
The county clerks now serving
were elected with the law the same as
it was when this opinion was render
ed, and with the official opinion as
their guide as to the disposition Of
these fees. The legislature has met
nine times since then without chang
ing the law or doing anything to init
mate that this opinion, which has be-
come the rule Of practice, was wrong.
The opinion of the present attorney
is Numerically opposite to that Of
Attorney General Davis. The ques-
ton is who is right, and does this
last opinion change the practice Of
the past sixteen years in respect to
this matter? GEO. w. CRANE.
The Van Slyck case was carried to
the Supreme Court, and recently an
opinion was handed down sustaining
Judge Smith in his rulings In his
opinion Judge Johnson says;
"The language Of the statute clear
ly and conclusively shows that the
compensation of the clerk is not af-
fected by the fees which be may COL
lect, 1t was deemed best by the Leg
islature to give these officers fixed
salaries upon which they could rely
rather than leave them to the fees de-
rived from the varying and uncertain
demands of the public for their SER
vices. 1t is tho manifest policy of
the Legislature that all fees charged
must be accounted for and all receiv-
ed deducted from the quarterly allow
ance Of salary which the law pre-
scribes,n
This case is attracting good deal
af attention over the state and there
seems to be quite difference of
opinion among county clerks as to
whether this decision will apply to

IN THE death of Hon. j. @. Heb
bard, who passed quietly away at his
home in Topeka last Monday, the
populist party of Kansas loses one OF
its brightest lights and the state one
of her best citzeus. In many res
poets Mr.. Hebbard was one of the
most remarkable men of our times,
His memory of facts and statistics
was simply prodigious. He was prob
ably the only man in the state whose
memory was perfectly reliable on Rll
manner of statistics, national as well
as state. II any speech or extract
from a speech of any Importance that
had been made in the state was want
ed Mr.. Hebbard could he depended
on to supply the need, telling not
only the time and place the speech
was delivered, but quoting the very
words. He was a man of clean per-
sonal character and rugged sterling
honesty, His manner was modest
and unassuming, and his capacity for
havd work was apparently unlimited.
He was a broad-minded charitable
man, always intensely patriotic, but
never partisan in the narrow sense of
that term. Many a newspaper in the
state has received from him without
price, information which otherwise
would have required valuable time
and money to acquire, and the enemy
were always treated by him with per-
feet fairness. 1t was a matter of
pride to all populists who were &C
quainted with him to know that the
best posted man in the state was an
ardent supporter of their beliefs.
