To Abolish Fee System.

President Price introduced in the
Senate five constitutional amendments
prepared by the German committee for
abolishing the practices in vogue
under the fee system.
The measures apply to the follow
ing Offices:
Registers of Wills.
Clerks of the Court.
States Attorneys.
Sheriffs.
Payment of all fees into the State
Treasury with provision that the pay
ments for clerical hire and other ex-
penses shall be made by the State,
instead of the fees being retained by
the officials and the expenses de-
Quoted before they are turned in, is a
feature of all the amendments.
Under miscellany" salaries are
limited to $4,000. This fixes the pay
of Sheriffs. The constitutional limita-
ton is now $4,000, but the Sheriffs Of
Baltimore city are supposed to have
made their offices net them about
SIS, 900.
Efforts are also made in the changes
to insure uniform charges and uni
form accounting.
If the changes are to be made
three-ffths of the members of each
branch of the Legislature will have
to approve them as well as a majority
of the voters.
