Yirginfn.s Biz Fair.

Public sentiment throughout Vir-
ginia and indeed in other localities,
is in favor of keeping the James
town Exposition open another year
and the board of directors are max
ing an effort to thai end. Alvan
Martin, the recently-elected director
general, is perhaps the most Jealous
in the work. II would require at
least 100000 to carry the EXPOSE
ton over the winter and properly
exploit it and as the exposition COM
pany owes a irife over three million
dollars it would seem tina the pro-
ject of reopening is anything but
practicable. However. the Virginians
are deeply mortified over the failure
of their show and they are ready to
endorse the movement. An effort
will he made TO raise the needed
mount by subscription.
Viewed from some standpoints
the exposition company was not 10
blame for the failure of the fair.
There is no question but that the
delay in completing the government
pier did the tercentennial celebra-
ton irreparab!e harm. The struc-
ture was mo- turned over to the ex-
position management until Sept. IA.
Now that it is finished the illumina-
ton is superb. 1t is generally CON
coded to b the finest ever seen 1t
any exposition. The lighting of the
Government Pier. Raleigh Court and
the most important parts of the
grounds costs oyer s25O,O00 an
hour.
The exposition had i troublous
time. The labor question, bad
weather and poor transportation
played havoc with the original plans
and yet the United States Congress
required it to be opened in April.
This seems rather hard as The gov
eminent appropriation was held up
and lack of funds prevented carry

ABOLISH THE FEE SYSTEM.

If the wishes Of the public are
considered the present legislature
will reflect credit on itself by
abolishing the fee system as ap-
piled to state and county officers
throughout Georgia.
1t may be that a few office
holdeEsS aspirants for offices
operating at this timanR1der the
fee system, favor retention of
fees for compensation instead of
the payment of fixed salaries of
reasonable size for such public
services. But the wishes of these
small classes should not. have any
weight when placed in the
balance against the general desire
that the fee system be abolished
and genuine reform instituted
by placing every public officer on
a salary commensurate to the
Importance of TIE position occu-
pied an9 the ability and the
tine required for the performance
of its duties.
In many States the fee system
has already been abolished as
iniquitous in its practical work
ings. The securing of fees rather
than the service to be rendered
the public becomes the controll-
ing motive with the official whose
compensation is a matter of fees.
Corruption and injustice tend to
go hand in hand with the fee
system. With it's adjustment
would be removed a temptation
to abuse official position and con-
vert it into a money making
instrument without regard to the
public interests.
The fee system should go. In
its place should be established
salaries that are generous and
calculated to secure and hold the
service of men of undoubted
capacity and integrity. The legis-
lature now in session might well
anaRst aside a lot of foolish alleged
assures for one that is
Ptalculated to
