lronworker Tackles Deputy Constable
Whom He Accuses Of Offering
a Gratutous Insult to
Woman

c. j. jennings, deputy constable
was taken to the police station last
night suffering with a broken right
leg and several other severe injuries re-
ceived in a fight with II. Van Burkleo
foundry worker, on Ducummon
street, where both men left the street
car. Jennings is said to have insulted
Van Burkeo's wife.
Van Burkleo was arrested on q
charge Of battery, but was released un-
der S45 bonds, which he deposited.
My wife was sitting i'm the car,
while | stood on the platform" said
Van Burkleo. when seen at the police
station shortly before his release last
night. This fellow Jennings. whose
name ! did not know at the time, was
sitting across from her. Suddenly he
turned toward her and began using
the vilest language and called her sew
eral obscene names.
MY wife began to cry, but l said
nothing until Jennings left the car.
Then l jumped for him and did my
best to teach him not to insult women,
no matter how unprotected they might
seem to be. Several policemen came
up about this time and picked Jen-
nings UP from where he lay on the
ground. He was unable to walk and
so they called for the patrol wagon
and sent him to the hospital. They
told me to come up here and bring my
wife with me, and so here / am"

Denies Charge of Insult

Jennings was taken to the receiving
hospital, where physicians examined
him and found that his right leg had
sustained a compound fracture just
below the knee.
II did not say anything to the
woman" said Jennings, when told of
the charges made by Van Burkleo,
land in fact did not see her while on
the car When 1 left 1t the fellow who
punched me jumped off and sprang at
me. 1 did not know what it was all
about, but endeavored to protect my
self until he kicked me in the shin and
broke my leg. L had not been drink
ing and used no bad language on the
car"
Jennings is a large man, weighing
close to 200 pounds, while Van Burkleo
is more than sixty pounds lighter.
Mrs. Van Burkleo became hysterical
when told that her husband was ar
rested and it was necessary to lead her
from Lieut.. Murray's office . to the
street, so she could have air.
Jennings announced last night that
he would prosecute Van Burkleo for
the assault and the case will come
up for hearing as soon as the injured
man is able to walk.

SCIICI oily UAoo NOoI6
must be wasted and no employee
overpaid. The fee system has
given way everywhere to the
fixed salary. based on the amount
of work or responsibility. If
then an effort is made to reform
the existing abuses against which
protests have come from all parts
of the State by simply. reducing
the percentage of fees the tax
collectors and sheriffs receive,
so as to cut down their compen-
sation to reasonable figures. the
relief secured will be inadequate
and merely temporary. When
the present fees and percentages
were fixed they were generally
reasonable enough, and were ex-
pected to pay the collector $4,000,
$4,000, $1,000 or $4,000; but the
great increase in the wealth and
assessment of the State has re-
suited in the sheriffs getting
two, three or four times as much
as the Legislature intended they
should have. To provide a new
scale will leave the question in a
still unsettled state. The COM
pensation will remain uncertain
and indefinite, liable to reduction
if values should become de-
pressed from any cause. or more
liable to be greatly increas-
ed if the present boom"
should continue. To estab-
lish a just and proper cOmpensa-
ton the Legislature will be re-
quired at every session to go
over the percentages paid the
sheriffs and tax collectors to see
what they produce, and reduce
them whenever they yield too
large a revenue. No worse plan
could be devised. 1t would
mean a constant fight. striking
and rapid fluctuations and gen.
eral decentralization. The issue
would come before the people,
not in this campaign alone. but
in every future contest.
The only sure and definite
settlement of the problem is to
do what the Democratic party of
Louisiana ought to have done
years ago, and what it pledged
itself to do-abolish the fee sys-
tenn altogether and place all
Officials on salary. It would not
do, of course, to have uniform
salaries throughout the State,
as some sheriffs have much more
work to do than others and col
lect a much larger sum OF
money, but it would not be diff.
cult to fix the salaries in pro.
portion to the size, population
and wealth of the parishes. the
number of deputies necessary
and the amount of tax to be col
lected so as to make the com
pensation to each official fair and
just. In this way, and in this
way only, can the popular de-
mand be satisfied. The voters
will do well to ask this question
of all candidates for the Legisla'
ture and to insist on a specific
and correct answer: Are you in
favor of abolishing the fee sys
tenn and placing sheriffs, tax col
lectors and all other feed officials
the Secretary of State included
on fixed but fair and adequate
salaries?

The Fee System of Paying OFF,
Gals.


Gals.
Times Democrat.
W. publish elsewhere a strong
and interesting communication
on THE Pay of Officials" espe-
cially feed officials, like sheriffs
and tax collectors. The Times
Democrat has already spoken
several times on this subject.
The issue has SO far attracted
the greatest attention OF the
campaign, and there seems to be
a marked unanimity of senti-
nlent on it. Every paper we
have seen mas spoken out warmly
against the present high pay of
sheriffs and tax collectors and
has called for a change in the
laws that will cut down this pay
and render it more uniform.
Public opinion has seemed equal
ly unanimous. and not a few can
didates fer .heso well paid Offices
have announced their willingness
to accept them with reduced
= compensation and to support
anv reasonable measure to that
effect. It would seem, there
fore. that there ought to be no
doubt that the popular will IN
this matter will be carried out;
but experience warns US against
over-confidence. 1t is neces-
sary to first decide what should
be done and then to get pledges
from the candidates for the Leg
islature that they will vote for
the reforms demanded. The
.sheriffs do not vote on the reduc-
ton and pledges from them are,
therefore, of no value; it is the
legislators we must reach. More
over, we must go to them with
some specific plan. Otherwise
a legislator may pledge himself
to vote for a reduction in the fees
of sheriff and claim that he is
carrying out his promise when
he votes for a 5 per cent cut on
all compensation in excess OF
$4,000.
It is not necessary to present
any more evidence to support the
popular demand for a reduction
in the compensation of sheriffs
and tax collectors. With the
State in need of money and com
PEELED to cut important appropri-
atoms. it is in no position to give
away tens of thousands Of dol
lars to favored politicians. The
present compensation allowed
sheriffs and tax collectors is ex-
cessive (1) because we need the
money for schools, roads end a
hundred other purposes; ~ be-
cause the work is not worth it,
and is generally done by cheaper
deputies while the tax collector
pockets the bulk of the cash;
(3) and because the compensation
paid is unequal and unjust.
There is no reason why a sheriff
should get five times as much as
the Governor and the chief jus
tice, more, indeed, than the en-
tire Supreme Court. There is
no excess in work or RESPONSE
bility in the Office to account f0r
the excess in pay.
If we come down to the DOT
tom facts we find that the pres
emit trouble is due to that un'
democratic abuse-the fee sys'
tem-which was almost univer'
sal in Louisiana under the Re-
publicans and q favorite trick fol
.robblng the people. The Demo
