out the fee system it will do a
grand thing for Missouri. The fee
policy is an open bid for the per-
version of law and the encourage
ment of official robbery. The gov
eryment equips its servants with a
brass button and a sand-bag and
turns him loose to force his wages
from the people. An Office which
is not of sufficient Importance to
warrant the payment of a salary
