However, while in hearty accord with
the hopes and aspirations of the large

COMMITTEE TO SEE
COUNTY DELEGATION
Fee System Foes Will Urge
Extra Session
TO CONFER TUESDAY
Special Committee Named at Meeting
of Citizens Committee-Jeffer-
son Legislators Expected to
Write to Associates
TO CONFER TUESDAY

The citizens committee named some
time ago to bring about an extra session
of the legislature in order that the amend
ment providing means for the elimina-
tion of the fee system in jefferson coun-
ty might be made effective. reached an
agreement at its meeting yesterday noon
that the most expeditions and feasible
means of getting the lawmakers together
was action through the lawmakers them
selves.
Following that agreement a committee
consisting of John w. Altman, Il. II. Nor
man. Hugh w. Roberts, c. c. Burke and
DR.. w. c. Gewin. was named for the pur-
pose of conferring with the jefferson
county legislative delegation Tuesday
noon in the office Of Mr. Altman. First

able, following this meeting. that the
jefferson delegation will draft letter
copies of which will be sent to every
other member of the legislature. urging
them to aid Jefferson in bringing to the
attention of Governor O'Neal the neces-
sity of an extra session.
Extra Session Anticipated
1t was the consensus OF opinion among
those attending the meeting of the conf
mittee that an extra sessio nwould be
called, but to make assurances doubly
sure. the foregoing action was taken
Capt. Tom Mcdonald declared that
from a personal standpoint. he did not
desire an extra session. but that he would
work for one in the interest of the coun-
ty. Eventually. it is probable that a
committee will be sent to Montgomery
for, the purpose of interviewing the gov
ernor in reference to the matter at issue.
The fee system was roasted" by sew
eral speakers. One of them, DIR. Gewin,
declared that only recently squad OF
deputies had flushed a negro crap game,
carted off 20 or 80 of the participants.

c. c. Burke stated that he knew the
governor did not desire an extra session.
II talked with some gentlemen In Mont
gomery last week. said he, "some gem
tlemen close to the governor, and they
we're hopeful that no extra session would
be called. They spoke of the financial
embarrassment of the state, and the
futility OF adding TO the burden through
an extra session" When asked concern
ing the identity Of these men alleged to
be close 10 the governor, Mr.. Burke did
not reply
Every man present was enthusiastic in
regard TO the extra session, however. and
expressed himself as confident that the
lawmakers would eventually be called to-
gether.

SALARIES FOR OFFICIALS
NEW MEXICO ATTORNEY GEN.
ERAL MAKES SUGGESTION.
Advises Ration Attorney That He BE.
lieVes Commissioners Justified In
Advancing Reasonable Sum.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Raton.-It is the opinion of Attor.
ney General Frank w. Clancy that
county commissioners are justified in
advancing to county officers a suffi-
cfent amount of money to pay living
expenses in the absence of any legis-
lation providing for the same. Fol
lowing is a portion of his letter writ
ten to the district attorney at Ration:
Il will not venture to predict what
the courts might hold If some tax
payer should seek to enjoin the max
ing of such advances, as there is room
for wide differences of opinion. What
l suggest is based upon the consider
alton that the constitution, while pro-
h1biting any county officer from re-
ceiving any fees or emoluments other
than that annual salary provided by
law, clearly contemplates that all
county officers shall receive compen.
sation for their official services. 1t
is enjoined upon the Legislature to
classify counties and fix salaries for
all county officers and, while that
duty has not been effectively per-
formed up to the present time, we
must assume that sooner or later the
Legislature will perform that duty. In
the meantime, public interest requires
the exercise and discharge of the pow
ers and duties conferred and imposed
upon the county officers, and a very
large portion of those officers cannot
possibly do what is required of them
without money to live upon. 1t is not
reasonable that they should be sub.
jected to the burden of borrowing
money upon their personal credit and
paying interest therefor, and there
may be some whose credit would not
be equal to so much of strain. In
view of the certainty that the Legisla-
ture will provide adequate and prop
err salaries to cover the period for
which the county officers have served. |
or may serve, believe that the coun- |
ty commissioners will be justified in |
advancing such small amounts as may
be absolutely necessary to enable the
officers to live, being careful to keep
well inside of the amounts of salaries
which will probably be provided"

OLD BALTIMORE TEAM
Many of Famous Orioles Still
Engaged in Game
Jack Doyle and Frank Bowerman Re.
membered as Among Players Who
Helped to Win Pennant---oth-
ers Helped Make History.

That the old Oriole players who
won three successive pennants for
Baltimore were about the best that
baseball ever has produced is shown
by the number of them still employed
at making history. Only the other
day 1t was announced that Jack Doyle,
the old first baseman, has been signed
TO scout for young players by the Chi
cago White Sox. 1t will be remem-
bered that Doyle at one time played on
the initial bag for the New York
Giants before Fred Tenney.
The signing of Doyle leaves only
few OF the old-timers In the shadow
surrounding the baseball spotlight.
Perhaps 1t can be said that Walter
Stevenson Brodie, Duke of Roanoke,
among the best center fielders who
ever played the game, is about the
only one of the old favorites who is
not enjoying prosperity as a direct re-
suit of work in organized baseball.
Even Brodie coaches the Rutgers col
lege squad, but his job is not SO prom.
inent as others.
