FEE SYSTEM MUST GO.
Evil of Present System in Pottawat
tamie County, to Be Eradicated.


Special to T;n1es- Republican.
/ Council Bluffs, Jan. S.-The evils Of
the fee system in the management of
county affairs, are to be eradicated in
Pottawattamie county from this time
on, the county board of supervisors at
its present session having adopted q
system OF salary compensation for all
officers and their deputies AT the
opening OF the January meeting of
the board, Supervisor w. F. Baker
called attention to the matter, and
urged that a change be made, which.
after discussion. was unanimously
agreed to.
Heretofore, several of the offices
have been a source Of great profit
from the fees that We're allowed. In
the future, these fees will be turned
into the county treasury. The offices
most greatly affected are those of the
auditor, treasurer, sheriff and county
attorney.
The new system is expected to elm
mate the cause for scandal in county
affairs, and the board is being COM
mended for its action.

priest, and the sisters, and have had
different kinds of text books. BY the
creation of this board, the schools will
all be put on a common footing, thus
making it easier for teachers and pupils
in changing from one school to an
other. The members of the board will
be required to visit the schools, eX-
anime the system Of teaching used
and recommend any changes they may
deem necessary. They will make an
annual report of all the schools to the
bishop and it is thought that by this,
the general standard will be raised.
The attendance of the parochial schools
last year was 100.

this board are: Diocesan School

considerable, lobbying will probably he
done by members Of the association TO
secure the enactment Of a bulk sales
law. This sort of a law is needed, ac-
cording to the hardware men, to pre-
vent retailers from selling out their
stocks without the knowledge of their
creditors Considerable interest mas
been aroused among the members for
such a law The association Will with
out doubt ask the convention to usa
its influence in securing the law.
Parcels post legislation is also par
ticularly distasteful to the state and
national hardware associations, and
resolutions opposing any such changes
in the present postal laws Will I'M
doubtedly be passed by the assembly.

the failing OF the current, comes the

cold. The most trouble has been at the
