Mr.. PIERCE of AroOstook: Mr..
President. I will state that the Senator
from Hancock has the idea exactly as
tho committee on salary considered H.
that in a number of these offices there
we're fees which the officers might
charge for work which they could not
be compelled to do. but which they
do. and since they are working on
salary, and are paid by the state or d
county, their services in the once
should be for the benefit of the STATE
and all fees collected by them in those
services should be paid over to the
State or county, as the case might De.
The Senator from Hancock has tne
idea, and has explained 1t exactly as
the committee saw it. =.
Mr.. STURGIS of Cumberland: IL
seems to me, Mr.. President. that II all
officer has official, duties to perform.
and performs them. he must turn an
the fees of the Office over 10 the
State. II he does anything that Is
not required by his office, see no rea-
SON why he should not be entitled 10
the fees-if he does something ou'sioe
The PRESIDENT: In the case Oh
many OF our officials large part VI
their salary consists of fees prescribed
by the statute as legal. and IL tfey
keep their usual fees. in ADDITION 10
their salaries, the salaries will De al
most double.
Mr. STURGIS: l do not see any OBJ
lection to that.
