About the worst thing to be sad Il
connection with the present primary
law is the pestiferous petition bust
ness. Busy men are called upon to
circulate them and other busy men
hate to refuse to sign. Not one man
in thousand remembers half the pc
titions he signs. A far more sensible
way to handle it would be for the
candidate to appear before the coun-
ty clerk, pay a small fee, and file
his intention of becoming a candi'
date. If for a state or district Of
flee he could declare his intention
before the secretary Of state. The
fee could be based upon the remuU-
GRAFTON the office paid. Anybody can
get names to a petition, so the law
does not keep down the number OF
candidates. The number should not
be kept down, as every citizen should
have a fair shake at the pie counter.

aries Tor the term to which they had

this advice, Davis and Tulley refused
to account for the fees collected dur

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
STATE OFFICIALS GET
THEIR RAKE OFF.
Davis and Aksrs Rsneflclaries Of su-
preme Court Decision.

An state officers in Kansas are
supposed to be ON SalaTied basis,
but it is a fact mot generally known
that notwithstanding two Legislatures
In succession have passed laws re-
'Quiring all state officers to account
for all fees collected by them, the
state auditor and the state tneasurer
are enjoying luxuriant pickmgs on
the side in addition to their regular
salaries.
The state treasurer's rake-off is es-
timated at not less than $4,000 per
year, while from seven to nine hum
dred win probably cover the amount
secured by the state auditor.
In 1906 the legislature passed an
act Chapter 1917 authorizing cities
to issue bonds for natural gas, water,
light and heating purposes. It pro
vided further that these bonds should
be registered with the state auditor,
Tor which a fee Of not more than 90
cents per bond should be received.
Seth Wells was serving his second
term as state auditor so he took the
tees. His successor, jim Nation
didn't dane take them and ask for q
reelection, so turned them into tht
treasury and waited until the end ol
bis four years in office and then wen
to the legislature and asked for {
return of the fees. Governor Stubs
wouldn't stand for even this and We
toed this item in the bin.

Sald.-
There seems to be so much doubt
about the right of the ex7state au-
ditor to these fees that he did not
feel warranted IN collecting them in
his term of office. His right to this
money can only be determined by a
decision of the supreme court and it
will be sufficient time to appropriate
funds to cover the item when the
court decides to whom it belong"
Nation then took his case into the
supreme court, and that body held
that because of the fact that the
Legislature had not specifically declar.
ed that the SALARY of $500 was IN
full compensation for all services re-
quired, that it lett a loop-hole, and
through which the auditor was al
lowed to take these fees on the side.
(See Nation VS.. Tulley, Sc Kansas,
564.)
The discussion over the Nation case
in the legislature of 1911 brought
out the TACT that under the law pass
ed at the special session of 1908 des-
ignating the state treasurer as fiscal
agent for the state, that official was
getting a rake-off of one-eighth of
per cent en- all county, township and
school district and municipal bonds
collected through his office, and SC
TO cover the question of fees in the
offices of the auditor and treasurer
this provision was inserted in the
act making appropriations for the
executive and Judicial departments
Section TIT shall be the duty o.
all salaried state officers, their as
sistants and clerks, and they are here
by required to account for and turn
over to the TREASURER OF state all feel

ed of them by law for which the.
