SAVE HALF A MILLION.
The Senate Fee and Salary Bill an
Improvement
OYER THE BALLINGER BILL.

1t Puts All County Officers Except
Probate Judge on a salary Basis
Other Legislative News.
The senate committee on fees and sal
aries, of which Senator Edwin Taylor of
Wyandotte county is the chairman, devo-
ted considerable portion of Washing
tons birthday to hard work on the Bal
linger fee and salary bill. The commit =
tee expects to have its report completed
in time to submit to the senate late to-
day, but whether it will or not is a mat :
ter of considerable doubt
When Senator 1aylor's committee gets
through with the Ii sits own mother
would not recognize it, as one of the
comm itteemen says. The bill of course
will be recommended for passage but it
will be vastly different measure from
the one sent out from the house.
1t is learned that all the principal
county officers are put on a salary except
the probate judge. 1t is claimed that
the probate court must be conducted on
a fee basis to comply with the constitu-
ton, The fees are reduced however.
In counties of more than 10000 inhabi =
tants the fees are reduced one-half, the
other half being paid into the county
treasury. In counties of 81 900 to $4,000
the fees are reduced % per cent The
fees remain the same in counties of less
than 1000 as is now provided by law.
The clerk of the district court is given
a stated salary, made to vary according
TO the size of the county and
the amount of court bushes g.
The sheriff is also given a salary
on the same scale. The same is true of
the register of deeds. All fees collected
by these officers revert the county treas
ury. They will 'revert," too, for any neg
lect or failure in this respect means a
heavy fine and forfeiture of Office.
The county superintendent gets the
same as now provided by law. The cor
oner, justices of the peace Except in
cities of the frst-class, which will be
covered by a special bill,) and eonstables
continue to get fees, but not of the soon
structive' sort.
Whether the whole senate will concur
in the changes suggested by the commit
tee on fees and salaries, is a question
such inquiry as a JOURNAL reporter has
made among the senators, shows cOnclus-
lively that a majority are determined
upon through work in this direction
either through the medium of genera
bill or through the special bills for sepa-l
rate counties, of which a considerable
number have already passed the senate
and are now pending in the house.
After the bill leaves the hands Of Sen
ator Taylor and his associates it will be
a much better, more just measure, and
will no doubt give better satisfaction to
the public, if not to the office-holders
The salaries will be placed at a figure
large enough to make the offices desir.
able, but not bonanzas.
One of the new provisions of the bill
requires a monthly statement of all fee:
collected by officers. Such statements
must be open to the public together
with the penalty provided for illega
fees, and this is calculated to put STOP
to the Degrading system. What il
more, the bill is expected to save the
state in the neighborhood of 100000 &
year.

HELPS METsKER & STERNE

II the Capital of Missouri is Moved to Sc
dalia, Topeka Men will Prosper by It.
It is only natural that Senator sterne
of Topeka, should feel elated at the &C.
ton of the Missouri legislature in voting
to submit an amendment for the removal
of the capital of the state from Jefferson
City to Sedalia.
If the amendment carries, it will be of
much benefit to Senator Sterne and
his father in-law, ex-Mayor d. C.
Metsker, who have considerable money
invested there. Jefferson City has only
one railroad.
Mr. Metsker and Mr.. Sterne own the
street railway at Sedalia and have other
large investments there.

Forney, happened to be appointed by
Governor Morrill, as one of the regents of
the State University. The Methodist
church, SO the story goes, showed
degree OF mild antagonism towards the
university, partly because the chancellor
was always a Methodist until Chancellor
Snow (who is a Congregationalist) was
appointed; and partly because the Stata
University's greatest rival is Baker
university, a Methodist institution. In
order to appease this sentiment, or feel
ing, Senator Thacher was consulted by
the governor, and asked to suggest the
right man for the place. Senator Thacher
took the matter to Chaplain Botkin
of the senate who is himself a
Methodist parson and has a wide &C.
quaintance in Methodist circles Rev.
Mr. Botki1 Immediately suggested Ed.
Hoeh of Marion. The idea pleased
Senator Thatcher, who took the name to
the governors office. Before this nomi-
nation was made by the governor Chap
lain Botkin and Senator Thacher hap
pened to be seated together one day in
the senate when Mr. Forney entered.
"There is the man l should have sug-
gested for regent" said Chaplain Botkin.
'You are right" said Mr. Thacher.
Then he added, 81 guess it isn't too late
yet" Senator Thacher went to the gov
ernor's office and had the change made
Il am very glad to make the change"
Mr.. Forney while a layman is one of
the most active Methedists in his section
of the state.

WALKED FROM LAWRENCE.
Three University Students Walk the Whole
Distance in Six Hours.


Distance in Six Hours.
Three leg-sere students of the state
university. headed by Preston Plumb, a
nephew of the late senator, walked from
Lawrence to Topeka yesterday. They
started out at sunrise and were here
shortly after o'clock, having made the
twenty-seven miles in less than six hours.
They took the Santa Fe track the whole
way. They could have taken the train,
like the rest, but if they had they
wouldn't have been any better than
those who rode.
The young men were fresh when they
started, but before they reached Lecomp-
ton the sun was beaming the warmest
smile he has vouchsafed this winter, and
their collars were wilted.
When Topeka was reached they were
dusty and hungry and tired. but they
were heroes in the eyes of the other stu
dents, and that was reward enough for
one days work.

CHALLENGE FOR TIE HOUSE.

The Senate Employees Think They Can
Defeat House Employees at Baseball.
The employees of the senate desire
through the columns of the STATE JOUR
NAL to challenge the employees who work
Sin or about the house of representatives
to game of baseball, to be played any
time before the close of the session. In
order to make the challenge more fore
ible, the senate employees are willing
that representatives themselves (Mr
Cannon excluded) may be included on
the opposition team. If this challenge
is accepted the senate nine will line up
in this order:
R e. Ruggles, catcher; F. Petty,
pitcher; E. Marshall first base; R. g.
McKinnie, second base; William True,
shert stop; Percy Daniels, Jr., third
base; F. Root, right field; A. Newman,
center field; A. W. Dennison, left field.
