The New Saiary Law Hard on Kansas jus
tices and Probate Judges.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 10.-During the
last week Gov. Leedy has been flooded
with designations of justices of the
peace from many counties in the state.
He discovered that the new fee and
salary law was the cause. The hard
est blow justices and probate judges
received was in fixing fees for per.
forming marriage ceremonies Under
the new law the fee is cut to $3.50,
and n Judge or justice who makes
o marriage ceremony and the GER
tificate cost more than that amount
is liable to punishment for extor.
tion. The penalty is heavy fine, i'm.
prisonment or forfeiture Of Office. The
probate judge can charge only 50 for
issuing and recording license and no
officer is allowed to charge over Si.50
for performing the marriage ceremony.
The law, however, does not extend to
preachers. 1t Is stated, however, that
they will be forced to reduce their
charges in order TO meet the COMPETE
ton OF the civil officers.
