The New Estes Fee BIZ.

The fee bills introduced in the house
by Mr.. Estes of Davidson have been
carefully drawn and submitted to the
scrutiny of several of Tennessee's blest
lawyers. The old fee bill provided that
the different county officers be paid
salaries, according to the population OF
the counties in which the officers serve.
The present bills authorize the county
courts to fix the amount which each
officer may draw as pay, also for the
amount of expenses of his Office and
salaries and deputies, but in no case
shall the total amount appropriated be
over So, 500 per annum, except in the
case of clerk and master, whose office
expenses, including all salaries, must
not exceed IS, 500 per year. If the fees
fall short of the amounts designated as
the. maximum expenditure, then the
officer receives only such amount for
his and his deputies salaries and Office
expenses as he may be able to collect.
The old bill was declared unconstitu-
tional in that the classification of the
salaries was based on population and
should have been placed on the amount
of actual labor performed. The court
decided that classification can be made
by counties, but must be reasonable
and not arbitrary
