 Section 10 providing compensation sets the limit to be received by the Mayor at s5o0O and the limit for the commissioners at S4500 each.
 The council shall hold raegular meetings twice each month, and sig nifioant clause declares that all meet- ings of the council, whether regular or special at which any person not city official Is admitted, shall be open to the public."
 The bill prohibits the interest or con- nection of any official with any firm or corporation whatever, and prohibits free transportation, free tickets. or any other service upon terms more favorable than is granted to the general public, except in the case of firemen and policemen.
 Civil Service Commission.
 The council shall appoint three civil service commissioners who shall hold office two, four and six years respec- lively, which commission shall hold examinations at least twice a year to determine the qualifications of any ap- pIicants for positions; shall certify the result of such examinations to the coun- ell, and all vacancies which occur that come under the civil service shall be filled from the list so certified. All officers, not heads of departments, must stand these examinations, and will not be removed witho cause, and shall have due hearing before the coun- cil.
 The council shall at the first of each month print in pamphlet form detailed itemized statement of all receipts and expenses of the city and a summary of it's proceedings during the proceeding month.
 The holder of any elective office may be removed at any time by the quail fled voters of the city upon presenta- ton of petition of 25 per cent of the voters, stating the grounds for which the removal is sought and within ten days an election shall be called to elect his successor to fill the unexpired term. The bill also provides for referen dunn of any ordinance which may be proposed to the council by 20 per cent 1 of the voters. Upon such a duly signed ] petition being received, the council must either pass the ordinance without change, or submit it to an election, anc any ordinance so adopted cannot bt repealed except by a vote of the peo- pie. No ordinance passed by the coun- ] cil goes into effect until ten days have elapsed, and if during that time a petition of 25 per cent of the voters protest against the ordinance, it shall either be repealed or submitted to the vote of the people. The bill finally provides that after four years under the commission form, any city may vote to return to the former government.

Gadsden Wan Says Fees
 Habe Redeen1ing Features

mon sense and judgment; we relieve the lawbreaker and put a premium on the criminal, the outlaw and the immoral at the expense of our taxpayers
 I can see no reason, justice or equity in relieving these people of the burden and placing a premium upon lawbreaking. It is pure sentment-and an unhealthy sen timent at that-that encourages the lax enforcement of the law and puts a pre- mum upon the vicious, the immoral and the criminal in allowing them to escape the just punishment they deserve, and thus fail to protect the community in the enjoyment of their just rights under the laws.
 So far as I am concerned I am in favor of placing such fees and punishment on the violators of law as will make the criminals less in fact, I want to put enough pay to tempt the officers to en- force the law strictly, and besides make crime so expensive to the criminal that vice. crime and immortality may be re- duced to the minimum, and that viola tions of law shall never be made a source of revenue to the violator.
 am not so much concerned about what prompts an officer to enforce the law; in fact his motives have nothing to do with the matter; the main thing is that the officers shall enforce the law and give our citizens that protection guaranteed to them under our system of govern ment; and I am persuaded that the vindi- cation of outraged law Is of more impor- tance to our people than sympathy and ssentimentality to the criminal, immoral and vicious.

George D. Motley, Gadsden attorney, thinks Alabama should go slow in the matter of abolishing the fee system He thinks there is too much sentimentality toward criminals exhibited in the fight being made on the system. His letter is as follows
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 While I am not Interested, personally or professionally, in the fee system that Is being discussed, yet as a citizen l am more or less interested.
 Now it seems to me that the papers and citizens generally have been falling over themselves in regard to the fee system without considering what the effect would be on the citizenship of the state and on the state treasury, which is already depleted.
 And that practically the whole question is approached from the position of sym pathy for the criminal, the immoral and the lawbreaker generally, the fees being collected out of the violators of the law and not out of our law-abiding citizens.
 That the fee system has been abused and that officers make arrests for the purpose of making fees, may be granted, yet take this same officer and give him a salary; will he not, for the very oppo- site reason, that he gets nothing out of it. fail to enforce the law as he is re- quired to do?
 Now when we approach this subject with that sickly sentimentality that make heroes of Jesse James and Rube Bur- rows, we allow this to obscure our vis- ions and to play havoc with our com
