THE PERNICIoUs FEE SYSTEM.

From the Macon Evening News.
The Dawson News says: where
ever the fee system is in existence
either state, county or municipal
it should be abolished. On every
hand there is evidence that makes a
ringing Indictment of the practice OF
compensating public officials with
fees, and the sooner it is done away
with in Georgia the better it will be
for all concerned.
There is no reform more needed
in Georgia than the adjustment OF
the fee system. The practice OF fin
ing violators of the law and dividing
the costs and fees among the court
officials has gone far to commercial
ize our system of justice and to en-
courage crime for the benefit OF the
administrators of the law. The tax
PAYERS shoulder all the burdens OF
this system and the officials pocket
all the revenues. Criminals who
make a business of violating the
laws for pecuniary profit pay back
part of their earnings in the shape
of fines instead of being sentenced
to incarceration and hard labor, and
the result is to create a partnership
for gain, in fact, between the VIOLA
tors of the law and those whose bust
ness it is to enforce the laws

In some sections of the christian

certain rain-making experiments on
nature, so as to assist her in bringing
about the desired results, explosions
with dynamite have been employed
lately with considerable success.
Further experiments along these

1T IT AGALN.

The general assembly of Georgia
will meet in annual session today
and for fifty days there will be a
grind at law-making-laws that will
be good, bad and Indifferent.
Judicial, insurance and banking
reform will be three important mat
tiers to come bore the legislators,
The judiciary, the bar and a special
legislative committee have worked in
harmony to bring about changes for
the better enforcement of laws, and
measures along this line will be In
troduced early after the body con-
venes. A special legislative commit
tee worked more than a week to get
at the inadequacies of the laws OF the
state, and they found Georgia far
behind other states in this respect.
Bills to bring about desirable changes
will be introduced. The banking
committee will advocate the estab-
lshment of a state banking depart
ment entirely separate from the state
treasurer's office.
The legislature will also have con-
siderable work on hand to straighten
out legislation that was passed last
summer, and badly tangled up in
some way. The Ault report, COW
ering the Investigation of the agri-
cultural department, will be submit
ted, and bills will be introduced to
make needed changes in that branch
of the state government and prevent
it's use as a political machine,
Altogether, there is much import
ant work ahead of the lawmakers,
and as the state is now comparative
ly quiet politically it is probable that
they will be able to give a better
account of themselves than has been
the case the past several years.

The proposition to put solicitors
general and all other court officials
in the state on salaries is growing
in favor. 1t would save the people
many dollars, and also have good
effect in lessenins petty prosecu-

they are a heavy burden upon the
people, whereas if they were put on a
business basis and conducted in a
business-like manner, and not for
the fees they yield, they would be
self-sustaining.

THE ROOSEVELT PARTY.

Peoples party, Hearst's lndepend-

little except as disturbers of the

that.

for however keenly Roosevelt may
feel the humiliation Of the trouncing

a campaign that would end in defeat.
However much he likes the sensa-
