stances would he be a candidate in the
sheriffs race under the present fee
system. He thinks the salary should be
placed at between $4,000 and $4,000.
The statement of Chief Bodeker came
he was already an active candidate for
sheriff. But in answer to a question
the head of the local police department
stated that he had never announced for
sheriff and that although a host OF
friends was urging him to make the
race that he would not announce while
conditions remain as they are. Chief
Bodeker. however. averred that if Gov
ernor o'Neal called a special session
of the legislature and abolished the fee
system he would at once enter the race
and fight 1t out to the bitter end.
Chief Bodeker's Statement
Il have not announced my candidacy
for the office of sheriff." said the chief.
'and will not announce If the present
fee system Is not abolished However.
If Governor O'Neal summons the solons
together in January in an extraordi-
nary session and the fee system is abol-
ished l will at once announce my can
didaey and submit my qualifications for
sheriff to the approval of the voters
of jefferson county
S I'm the past have always fought
the fee system and 1 am too old to
start accepting favors at Its hands at
the present time. 1t has always seemed
preposterous to me that the office Of
sheriff of jefferson county should pay
approximately the same as the office of
the President of the United States and
under the fee system that Is what l
understand 1t pays, and as that money
comes from the pockets of the taxpay.
ers | could not under any circum-
stances be a candidate for sheriff un-
der its present source of revenue
The fee system is the worst evil
that We have to combat in this county
The voters have decided to reject it
by an overwhelming majority and l am
anxiously awaiting the gathering of
the legislature which will place this
reform measure on the statute books.
1t Will prove a boon to the citizens OF
Jefferson county in many ways.
Abuses of the System
Under the fee system gross abuses
have grown UP. Scores of cases are now
set for trial daily when 1t is known
that the courts can only handle few
day. This is done because of the fee
system which gives so much to the
clerks of the courts and the sheriffs
office for serving and Issuing sub.

Biiou-"Truxton King,

The story of Graustark and the ro-
nance of the lettering throne of the
little principality is cleverly told in George
Barr McCutcheon's "Truxton King" at
the Bijou theatre this week. 1t is a ro-
mantle drama, with just little melo-
drama of the higher order running
through it, and has comedy to create
the laughs. The company is said to be
of more than usual merit, and the pro-
duction complete. 1t is the first appear
anee In Birmingham.

criticizing the present county officials
as they are justified In taking advan-
tage of the fee system, as they are
complying strictly with the law. guess
any other man would do the same I'M
der the present regime.
"As 1 have stated before. the fee
system pays incomes to county office
holders greatly in excess of the serv-
ice they render the state For instance,
/ don't think that 1t is right that a
clerk of the court should get more
than the presiding judge or more than
the governor. l don't think that any
county officer should get more sal
airy than the governor of the state, the
congressman and senator's. / further
say that If the fee system is abolished
that the sheriffs office should pay a
salary of not less than $4,000 or more
than $4,000 per annum. That should be
salary enough for any competent man
for that particular office.
Script Buying
"The fee system has also been re-
sponsible for the industry of script buy
ing and this works great hardships on
witnesses coming 20 or 80 miles to tes-
tifyin a case. The fees should go into
the Golfers of the county and the wit
nesses should be paid in cash whatever
the county can afford and not in paper
that Is Immediately taken up by the
script buyers at about 10 cents on the
dollar.
There is no excuse for the contin-
uance of the fee system and | don't
think that the voters of this county
are going to stand behind any candi-
date who is in favor of the fee sys-
tenn. l am against it and will always
be against it and will never accept a
county office If my salary has to come
from fees.
$50 you can say that I am not a
candidate for sheriff at the present
time and won't be unless the fee sys
tenn is abolished. However, IL the ,office
OF sheriff is placed on salary basis
Of about $4,000 a year think that /
could be easily persuaded to make the
race"
The statement of Chief Bodeler may
prove to be of great political signifi-
canoe. 1t may set the camps of the can
didates for the sheriff's office buzzing.
1t has been known that the head. of the
police department was against the fee
system but 1t was thought that as he
would be one of the leading candi-
dates in the race that he would leave
the present situation alone.
