by her assailant.
Almost exhausted and staggering
at every step, she made her way
home.

connection that my grandfather, Ed

States chief fiscal officer today pre-
parcd the following statement:
$50 far as / can recall, officers 10
Gated in the counties and cities OF
this State do not receive unreason-
able or exoriitant fees out of the
treasury under the laws of tins state
Virginia has. in my opinion, just
daglse to be proud of her officers

their duties, and their compensation
Y in fees is moderate do not sup
pose there is another state IN the
Union more favored in this respect
| believe large majority OF the OFF,
GERS now receiving fees out OF one
Srgte treasury would prefer their
conversation should be provided by
an annual salary, but as the tlscal
officer of the State I would say that
in mv opinion it would be unfair and
unjust, both to the Commonwealth
and to the officers, to change the
present system without careful nnd
thorough investigation.
"Clerks of courts, treasures,
sherffs, sergeants and constabies
have responsible duties to perform
anI for some of these officers tram
ing and experience is absolutely es-
sential. Some of them do not per-
form ordinary clerical work, and If
put upon saERry basis the salary to
be paid should not be considered from
merely clerical standpoint.
"The commissioners of the revenue
!, are today rendering better service
than they have ever rendered the
State. They are better Informed re-
Bpecting their Guties under the law,
and are more faithful and energetic
in performing those duties.
81 ann unable to speak with refer
ence to the fees collected by officers
from individuals for services render
ed them. but it does occur to me that
those fees should be paid by the
parties interested rather than be
made charge upon the entire COM
munity by putting the officer upon
salary basis. Persons who lltlgate
should bear the expense OF litigation,
nnd should not be permitted by law
to shift III portion of that burden upon
those mot interested Or concerned.
Auditor Moore had been asked re-
garding certain recent erroneous pub
locations. Recently it was stated that
the clerk of the Suprme Court of APP
peals got $4,000 year. Mr.. Jones,
the clerk, expresses cheelfus Will
lingness to accept one-third of that
sum for his services and to pay his
lcputies 1t WAS aAs6 stated that
Judges of the Suprme Court Of APP
peals received $4,000 a year. They
receive one-half that sum.
Important point in the matter
which the public appears to have en-
tirely lost sight Of said Mr.. Moore
today. is THAT the sheriffs, sergeants,
clerks and tleasurers, have to employ
men to assist in the work they do,
and the work is of such character
that it cannot be done by men who !
are to be caught up on the corner.
The expenses Of some of these OIL
GERS are very heavy, there being sew
eraH deputies and assistants in many
of the offices named.
