Jailers to Get More Fees.

One reason assigned for the big
scramble on in almost every county for
the office of Jailer is that the boys"
have gotten ''wise" to the fact that
beginning January l, 1914. when the
new officials assume office, the fees
will be increased 80 per cent. Under
an act Of the Legislature which takes
effect the then Jailers will be allowed
70 cents day for feeding prisoners in
their charge instead of 50 cents a day
as now allowed. In many counties
this increase will make the JailerS' Of
flee the best paying one and account
for the numerous candidates.
