Who Gets the Rake Off?

All state officers in Kansas are
supposed to be on a salaried basis,
but it is fact not generally known
that not withstanding two legis-
latures in succession have passed
laws requiring all state officers to
account for all fees collected by
them, the state auditor and the
state treasure are enjoying luxi-
picking on the side in addition
to their regular salaries.
The state treasurer's rakeOff is
estimated at not less than 81, 600
ear, while from 500 to 5000 will
probably cover the amount secured
by the state auditor.
In 1905 the legislator passed
are act Chapter 10I authorizing
cities to issue bonds for natural
gas, water, light and heating pur'
poses. 1t provided further tina
these bonds should be registered
with the state auditor fol, which
fee of not more than so cents PEI
