THE FEE SYSTEM MUST 60.

Hui!iord County. North Carolina, has
adopted the salary method Of paving
the officers of that county. The dr.
ference between the salaries Of these
officers last year and the compensa-
lion they would have received under
the old fee system was SIO,395.ll. or
this amount S7.975.17 was eppropr, :
ated last year for the building OF bet
Ter roads and S2.4l2.34 was added to
the school fund of the county. Yet tho
o1hcers of the county did not suffer for
the lack or adequate support. rhc
S1o2s5.l1 saved on their former nav
was expended for tho general welfare
Inc Progressive Farmer says that the
saving would not be as great in small
ei counties, but there are few coun-
ties In which saving could not be
erected, and certainly the roads and
me schools need the money, More
than this, the salary system is bust
ness aystem-the fee system is not.
The excessive sums received nv tho
officials in many counties certainly

government or cleaner politics.
The fee system is doomed in North
Carolina, and there is no reason WHY,
IT should longer obtain in Virginia.
Government nowadays is becoming
more and more a business affair. Nc,

the battle. because It was found that
statewide prohibition is not practical.
ilcrc Is another extract concerning
the methods OF working on lcgisla-
'ors. precisely that used by the Anti
Saloon League of Virgins last winter.
1t VII no remembered that during
bill. members of the Senate Of Vir-
sinla WHO were against prohibition
were dcluGed with kilograms, right at
the critical moment Ono Senator re.
ccived more than fifty kilograms. but
he had the courage OF his convictions
and voted against the measure. The
article We are quoting from was writ.
ten before the Alabama Legislature
voted on local option.
MIR. Lawrence is again on the scene
with his little bag Of political tricks
re is urging the same methods by
means of which he forced members OF
the last Legislature to jump the fence
and run his political crranIs The
chief trick OF his is TO use the wires

When Il Representative or Senator
receives telegram on tho Parks
Local Option Bill that telegram IS
from Brooks Lawrence: no matter
whose name is signed to IT."
In no particular does this account
OF the AntiSaloon lobby and methods
in Alabama vary from what Virginia
has experienced.
Alabama has had enough of Brooks
Lawrence and his kind. The Anti.
Saloon League forced Statewide pro
hihttion through in that State. but
now that law has been ropudiotcd
and its supporters rejected Hero IS
what tho Advertiser says about Law
renee:
Not the least OF the BENEFITS which
will como Of the restoration OF local
option in Alabama Will be the final
elimination OF Brooks Lawrence and
his brand of politics"
This applies equally to conditions
in Virginia.
