We will say. however. that we do

We will say, however, that we do not believe in low salariesito officers. We are in favor of large salaries from governor down to constable and we have always advocated this. It is impossible to get good men to accept offices unless the compensa. tion iss good, and we believe that from governor down every officer should have at least a decent salary In fact, we had rather that they be paid a little too much than cent below what it requires to pet fgood men to hold responsible positions. We shall have more to say on this subject in subsequent issues. Sat urday's Commercial.
 So are we in favor of good salaries s'from Governor down to Con stable.n But why should the sheriff of Jefferson county get $10,000 a year in fees and the Governor of the great State of Arkansas geta salary of $3, 900 Q year. It requires more study and ability to become Gov ernor than Sheriff, yet it is fact that there is scarcely an officer in Jefferson county, from the Consta- ble of Vaugine township to the Sheriff of the county, but what re- ceives greater remuneration from bis office than the Governor of the State. Why not equallze things by increasing the Governors salary and decreasing the emoluments un- der the fee system of county offices? Put them all on a salarled list.

Abolish the fee system and taxes will be reduced.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-12-26
Stubborn Facts.

The Graphic last week, in com menting on an article written by Mir. Fred Fox for our Christmas edition, in which the latter asked, "Why are not our Taxes Reduced?' suggested that it was largely due to the present fee system In vogue in Jefferson county, and advocated the abolition of the fee system and the establishment of a salaried sys- tenn, such as is in vogue in Sebas
 tian and Washington counties.
 To enforce our argument and to illustrate how the people of the county are fleeced by the fee system, the Graphic said that the Sheriff of Jefferson county received 75 cents a day for feeding and keeping prison CTS in the county jail; that they are fed at an expense of 15 cents each per day; that the cost of prisoners was over $6, GOO year to the coun- ty, and that the Sheriff pocketed the difference between 75 cents and l5 cents, or 50 cents day on each prisoner confined in the county jail.
 Anything suggestive Of economy in the administration of public af- fairs in this county, especially when it interferes with the perquisites of any officer, arouses the irascibility of the aforesaid officer and all of his hirelings and mendieants. It was not surprising, therefore, that this illustration should bring the male diction of the hirelings aforesaid up- on the editor of the Graphic. The public has been told tEat the Graph ic was making all unwarranted at tack upon public officer, and was maliciously mistating a fact, be- cause the Sheriff receives only 50 cents day instead of 75 cents a day for feeding prisoners.
 An investigation reveals that this fact IS true-the Sberlff receives only 90 cents instead of 75 cents D day for feeding and keeping prison CTS. But the reduction is of recent origin. of which we were not advis- ed. The price formerly paid was 75 cents day, but within the past \Vear has been reduced to 50 cents Der day. The fact, however, that he expense Tor feeding and keeping
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-12-26

prisoners is oyer $6,0O0 a year, as heretofore stated, is not nor cannot be denied.
 It is denled thas the prisoners can be fed on 15 cents a day. The Graphic, upon the authority of two former jailers of this county, and the County Judge, can state posi- lively that the average expense ot feeding prisoners is from 15 to Is cents per day. according to the number confined therein.
 But it is asserted that there are other expenses attached to keeping prisoners and that these expenses are paid in scrip, at present worth 90 cents on the dollar. The Graphic stands ready to buy all the county scrip that may be presented to it within the next ten days at 90 cent on the dollar It is a we'll known fact that present owners of scrip are holding it at 95 cents, and be- fore tax-paying time it will bring 98 cents.
 As to the assertion in regard to other expenses of keeping and feed ing prisoners, let us inquire into it bit. The County Judge furnishes the bedding for the prisoners. The Sheriff feeds and keeps them. nHe hires a jailer at an expense of $75 month, or $500 a year.
 He buys on an averages of three tons of coal Q month, 6 months ln the year, at a cost of about $90 a year.
 He feeds on an average of 20 pris- oners day at a cost of 15 cents each, or $3.oO per day. Multiplied by 365 days in year amounts to $1, 095 per annum.
 The following is a recapitulation:
 For feeding and keeping prisoners, =ac- eording to the financial statement the sheriff receives over S60O0 a year.

 The above is oue of the many un- answerable arguments to show why the fee system should be abolished in Jefferson county and it's officers placed on 8 salaried list.
 Facts are stubborn things, and all the denunciation and viIhdcation of the hirelings and benedciaries of the Sheriff's office cannot overcome them.
 Abolish the fee system and taxes will be reduced.

An Untfring President.
Mrs Theodore Birney, the president has
given nearly her whole time for the past
year to the work of organization. She is
interested heart and soul in the move
nent, and though shrinking from publicity
She never shirks responsibility. and much
CT the success is due to her untring ener-
sy. She has had splendid corps of Off
GERS, too. Her press correspondent Mrs
X. Bowman Matthews, Il woman of varied
talentS, whose mind has been broadened
by travel in many lands, and whose ready
Zen has charmed legions of readers, has
been most energetic in keeping the press
or the country informed about the con-
gless. All the other officers have been
tactful and efficient in their respective po-
sitions, and have SO aided the President
that not a single jar has occurred during
the whole year.
Those associated with Mrs. Birney in ex-
ecutive capacity are Mrs. Adlai Stevenson,
Mrs. John r. Lewis, Mrs. Mary p. Num-
ford. Mrs. Arthur A. Birney, vice presi-
dents; Mrs. Vesta H. Cassidy, secretary:
Mrs. James H. McGill, treasurer.
The following ladies are chairmen of the
various committees: Mrs. Theodore w.
Birney, executive; Mrs. William F. Holtz-
man, finance; Mrs. Harry w. Fuller, trans
portaion; Mrs. Harriet L. Coolidge litera-
ture; Mrs. Charles H. Verriil, badges and
credentials; Mrs. James H. McGill, enter
tainments; Mrs. William F. Hoffman, ar

LIST OF THE OFFIC S

In Bible days the highest title given, the
noblest sentiment expressed. of a woman
was that she was "a mother in Israel" 1t
was thus that Deborah, the prophecies,
was styled after her heroic deed for Israel,
and it was title more exalted than had
ever before been bestowed upon a woman.
