Abolish the Fees.

The Springfield Register presents
this splendid argument in support
of bill at present before the Illinois
Legislature:
1.-The bill introduced by Senator
Niehaus providing for abolishing
the fee system in the payment of
states attorneys should become a
law. For some reason or other the
senate appears to be trifling with the
measure. 1t was recommitted last
week without any good reason being
assigned, when it should have been
passed and sent to the house for con.
most important on the calendar OF
either house. not only as a matter
of economy to the tax payers, but as
a matter Of Justice to ali the people,
and it should be reported out again
and acted on at once.
There was a time in the history
of Illinois when the fee system rs
applied to the officers of the courts
in Illinois was justifiable, but the
time has long past. Originally.
there was nothing Objectionable
about the practice. The population
was small, law cases were few, and
the fees amounted to no more than
a reasonable payment for the duties
performed.
but as villages grew into cities
as population increased. and as vio-
lations of law multiplied the compen-
sation of states attorney and other
court officials came to be out of all
proportion to the ability required or
the work performed. There is now
no portion of the state of Illinois in
which under an equitable rule the
services of the states attorney as
well as other officials may not be
paid for by fixed salary. The time
has come to exterpate the fee princi
pie from the public institutions Of
Illinois. No incident in the opera
ton of that pernicious principle is
more fragrant than that which re-
wards states attorneys with fees for
convictions. The states attorney.
being a quasi judicial official, should
have no special motive to procure
convictions. Avarice should not be
permitted to play a personal part in
the discharge of an official duty.
..In not few counties in the state
the office of a states attorney is far
more remunerative than the Judge
ship. In Cook county the dispro-
portion has come to be very great.
1t is stated that this official in that
county has been permitted to de-
grade his office into a collection agen-
CIV for his private profit. He receives
the same salary paid the Judges Of
the circuit and superior courts, viz:
$1,000 per annum, and in addition
thereto collects and retains vast
sums in fees. making his Office one of
excessive revenue, repugnant to JUS
tice. The salary of every states at
torney should be fixed by law, and
should not exceed that paid the
judges. nor should he be permitted
to receive or collect any additional
emolument for any reason OF from
any source. Under the present sys-
tenn this officer too often becomes a
prosecutor of the poor and defense
less instead Of \ prosecutor Of vio-
Eaters Of law. Its RIGHTEOUSNESS in
this respect is not confined to large
cities, but has been demonstrated in
many cases in our smaller counties.
There is no defense for the fee sys-
tenn in that or any other Office. Ii
works harm and only harm, and that
