Evils Of the Free System.

In commenting upon a bill intro
duced by''a North Carolina state
senator providing for fixed sala-
ries for state officials and requlr-
ing all fees collected by such OF
ficials to be placed in the common
treasury, the Raleigh News and
Observer says: The fee system
should be uprooted and fixed sala-
ries should be paid all officials. That
is sound doctrine and it is to be
hoped that the time is not far dis
tant when OfficialdOm shall no long
er depend upon fees for compensa
ton, says the Houston Post.
Human nature is still dominant
and the man who must look to fees
for his compensation cannot rend-
er as disinterested service as when
fixed compensation awaits him. 1t
is remarkable that the fee should
in many instances lure an official
to actions which might not other
wise in all respects appeal to his
sense Of justice.
Innocent men have been fined III
Texas because the magistrate need
ed the fee; innocent men have
been arrested and damaging eVI-
dence manufactured against him
merely because of his ability to
stand "a shake-dOwn. "You are
fined 81 and cost" says the mag
istrate and 81 goes into the public
treasury and sum ranging from
$40 to 500 may go into the peck
cts of officials who look to fees Tor
their compensation.
There are probably some diff
culties in the way of fixed compen-
sation for an officials in state
like Texas but it should be the
policy of the common wealth to
emancipate it's public service from
the fee system at the earliest pos
Sible moment.
1t is true that graft stains the
public service, it is especially true
that the fee system is responsible
for much if not for most of it.
Pay the sheriffs, deputies, clerks
assessors, collectors, justices of the
peace, county attorneys and all
others fixed compensation and put
the fees in the treasury. Grade
the pay according to the popula-
lions of the counties or other con
ditiOns which may bear upon the
matter.
The fee is temptation to OPP
press in many instances. 1t is a
demoralizing influence so long as
an officer has an interest in it. Pay
the officer and let the fen go into
the common treasury and we be
lieve it will elevate the character
of the public service and tend to
