POLITICS AND FEES.

The election for governor of Ten
nessee is over almost month.
The legislature will be in session
within six weeks. The democratic
party is in control of every branch
of the machinery of government in
Tennessee.
So far we have heard nothing OF
any constructive legislation.
So soon as the guns of the demo
Gratis, republicans and fusion leaders
cooled out they were manned by Lea
and anti-Lea forces, old-time regulars
and new-time regular forces. men in
office and out of office.
Now the cannonading is brisk on
the battle line from Bristol to Shelby
The fighting is all about who shall
go to the senate, what man II the Of
flee of comptroller will best be able
to help in the senatorial fight, or what
treasurer and coal oil inspector can
be depended upon when the senatorial
primary comes off.
We hear of no campaign for better
things in the material, education and
home life of Tennessee.
Everybody is trying to do something
for himself or to do his neighbor.
Every other man either wants an Of
flee or he has friend he wants to
get an office.
If the bosses have their way the
affairs of the state Of Tennessee dur
ing the next two years will be admin
istered for the benefit of themselves
and their followers.
Tennessee is the most governed state
in the union.
There is a law for every community
and for every group of men. Every
law calls for number of men to en-
force 1t or gives fees to other men.
All parties were pledged to an abol-
ishment of the fee system.
Some of our able officials in Shelby
county draw $4,000 net after paying
deputies, most of whom are political
or blood allies. Our courthouse is
filled with cousins, nephews, uncies
and aunts.
If the men holding the various fee
offices were paid a decent salary and
the surplus fee was collected and
administered for the benefit of the
county, we could add another month
to our school term, or we could add
20 miles of pike every year to our
system, or we could repair so miles of
pike every year with the funds.
Our poor and insane asylum is fear
fully overcrowded and the buildings
are entirely inadequate for the service
demanded.
The fees in Shelby county in one
year would build an adequate poor
and insane asylum.
There has been an agitation here
for three or four years for new Jail.
1t has been good thing for contrac-
tor, foc a real estate owner, and for
three commissioners.
The extra fees collected In Shelby
county every year in two years would
pay for a big new Jail.
The difference between the fees and
what our officeholders are really
worth would pay the interest on the
bonded debt of Shelby county.
The fee system is as absurd in Da-
wilson. Hamilton and Knox as it is
in Memphis Commercial APP

FRENCH WANTS COUNTIES
TO MAKE ROAD LEvleS

Santa Fe. Aug. 27.--state EngineeI
James A. French is addressing boards
OF county commissioners throughout
the state, arguing for a road levy OF
live mills for next year and IL en-
closing q map OF the state OF New
Mexico with all the inter county and
main state arteries indicated. He
points out that AZ one mill levy Is ut
terly insufficient to make any head
way on the proposed system which
wilirconnect every one Of the twenty
six county seats and DIT the same
time form part Of the state system
OF roads.
Valencia county has set the pace
by levying five mills under the act
OF 1903 and Is now receiving the
benefit therefrom by the completion
OF the road through the state along
the Rio Grandc and also by the
building of the east and west road
from Los Lunas to Gallup. No coun-
ty can afford 10 be less progressive
than Valencia. thinks the state en-
gineer and he makes out strong
case for systematic building of In
ter-county roads. If this is done
under scientific supervision and with
ample funds. the returns to each
county Will be thousandfold In
very brief time.
