The fee system for county officers is
an active issue in the contest for members
Of the Legislature in a great many counties
throughout the State, and from present in
dications all county officials will be put on a
reasonable salary basis when the next Mis-
sissippi solons convene. Of course, the sal
airy basis will not take effect until after the
next officers-elect have served out their re-
s~pective terms-but the taxpayers in many
counties are growing tired Of carrying the
heavy burden of paying the enormous sal
aries that some of their officials are receiv-
ing under the outrageous fee system in
vogue at present. The following from the
Jackson correspondent of the Commercial
Appeal will give you some idea of the cost
of the fee system to some counties:
abolition of the fee system in counties has al
s. become an issue in the campaign for the Legisla-
ture. Agitation in favor of abolishing all fees and
placing county officials on a salary basis, which
started in the Delta section last year, has spread to
other portions Of the state.
"NlShIng to ascertain the compensation of their
sheriff from fees, the taxpayers of one of the cOun-
ties had the sherlff's office checked up by an expert
accountant, and were astonshed to find that the
sheriff and tax collector received over $4,000 a
year. There are several counties in the state larger
than that one, and it is suspected that the fees in
some of them will reach $25, 900 to $4,000 a year.
I'm another county the books OF the clerk of
the chancery court were audited by an accountant.
and the result showed that the clerk received a
fraction over $4,000 a year in fees.
The offices of sheriff and chancery clerk in
the larger counties are considered the most lucra-
tive political jobs in the state. Attempts have been
made in the past to place those officials on a salary
basis, but the ovement had little support. The
sheriffs and chancery clerks easily defeated the bills
before the Legislature. Now, however, the situation
is different. The agitation in favor of abolishing the
fee system has gained such momentum that the
bills cannot be strangled in committee like those in
troduced at the last session of the Legislature, and
a desperate fight on the floor of the Senate and
House is certain"
The Commonwealth is quite sure that
the puIl-Wires in the different counties will
exert all of their energy and influence to
to abolish the fee system, but S We don't be-
lieve the members of that august body to
be elected this year will pay any attention
to the appeals of these nefarious eye-sores.

n IN FINE A

A comparative statement of the 296
state banks in Mississippi, just compiled by
Robert l.. Hall, secretary Of the banking
department, shows, according to bank ex-
aminers, that the financial institutions of
the state are in better condition, and con-
Quoting business along more conservative,
sound and safe lines than ever before.
While the statement shows a decrease
of So, 223, 799.2 "a in loans and discounts on
December 81, 1914, compared with Deem
Der 81, 1913, the examiners point out that
1t indicates a most satisfactory and desir-
able change among many banks in being
more conservative.
The total resources Of the 296 banks,
thirty less than were in existence in Deem
Der, 1913, amount to $64, 063, 491. SO as COM
pared with S83, 266, 1884, q, a decrease of
$40, 2O3, 092. 20.
One Of the most strikingly satisfactory
results, according to the examiners, is the
decrease Of 1913, 937.14 in banking house,
furniture and fixtures, which the examiners
have strongly recommended be kept to the
minimum by the institutions.
Another feature which is important is
the cutting down Of overdrafts. This item
shows an enormous difference. In 1918 the
overdrafts amounted to So, 966, 629. 68, while
now they are only S 1921, 759. So, or Sc, 674,-
$40. 10 less. The examiners nave been max
ing the elimination of the allowing of over
drafts one of the features of their first
years work.
The -296 banks of the state have a total
capitalization of $40, 484, $50. Individual
deposits amount to $37, 300, $50. III, and cash
on hand to So, 525, 291. 95.

The report reflects great credit upon the three
prison trustees, j. F. Thames, P. E. Matthews and
Col. w. A. Montgomery, who have managed the
great penal institution in such a capable and bust
ness like maEner.-Special to daily press.
The above is a very gratifying report
to the people of the State, who are pleased
to know that the State farms are revenue
producers. But, while we would not de-
tract n iota from the credit given to the
three Prison Trustees for the performance
of their respective duties, The Common
wealth would like to know why the WHOLE

great penal institution is given to the three

SOUTH'S GRAIN ACREAGE.

The Federal Bureau Of Crop Estimates
reports that the States of the South more
than doubled their acreage of oats during the
past fall. To be exact 102 per cent. more
!. oats We're sown in the Cotton States during
the fall of 1914 than that of the previous
year.
The South also greatly increased its fall
sowing of wheat, though not to the same
extent as that of oats. The increase in
wheat being estimated at 80 per cent. The
total increase in acreage of oats and wheat
amounts to {, 7O0,O0 0 acres, or more than 10
per cent. of the land planted in cotton n
the spring of 1914.
This probably means that the cotton
acreage will be considerably cut down, the

there is no money IN cotton at present pri-

crease of $4O5.45 OF 43.1 per cent.
If the information that has been fur
nished from the City Hall is correct,
this reduction has been mainly due to
"precipitating" a 20 per cent. reduc-
ton in the wages of unskilled negro
labor, making it 81 to $1.25 a day-the
prevailing wage for this class of labor,
and to @'precipitating'' the City's con-
victs out of the Jail into the streets,
instead of keeping them confined at a
dead loss and expense to the community,
as in the past.
1t seems to the writer that if the in
formation furnished above is even ap-
proximately correct, both the COM
munity and the new administration are
to be congratulated, and that no one
should feel otherwise.

JOHN A WILLIAMS.

How any Democratic newspaper in
the State of Mississippi can cast slurs
and insinuations at Senator Williams
and endeavor to belittle him in the es-
timation of the public is beyond COM
prehension. He is a man that every
Mississippian with any State pride
should be proud of, for he has brought
more honor to the State by reason of
his native ability and high order of
craftsmanship than any other senator
ial member since the days of Lamar
and George. If they r incapable of
approaching his mental attainments
and craftsmanship, then they should
accept him at the valuation of other
sections, and in this valuation the
North is more profuse in its praise than
the South. That Mississippians should
discredit such a man is a reflection
upon themselves and not upon John
Sharp Williams.
fractional politics alone are RESPONSE
BILE for casting slurs at the man who is
such a giant of Democracy and is doing
SO much to ~perpetuate its principles
and make it q success, while others
masquerading under the name are knit
ing the party every opportunity. The
Leader cannot believe that the prepon-
derance of public sentiment in Missis-
sippi is otherwise than favorable to our
hOnored senior senat0r-West Point

MR.. HERBS SECOND ARTICLE.

The following record of the rainfall for the months Of January
1914 and January 1915 in Greenwood was taken from the U. S.
Weather Bureau Reports as furnished by the Guage Keeper here,
which shows a total precipitation Of la inches for January 1914
and a total of 450 inches for January 1915. This statement was our
replying to Mr. Hers reference to the saving in the street department.
of the city. This report of the Bureau substaniates our statement
as to the comparative rainfall for the two months referred to by us.
We are pleased to know that there is a saving in the street de-
partments payroll, and hope that the new Board will continue to
economic as much as possible consistent with necessary good work.
There's no kick to make on this score but why cut down the wages
of these poor devils who work on the streets, and then increase the
salaries of the Mayor and Counclmen $3.50 over the total paid the
Mayor and the Aldermen under the old form of government? The
thing we are and have been contending for is to be absolutely
fair with one another and consistent with the promises made us
when the Commission form of government was being agitated in
this city.
But we only intended to print the Bureau Weather Reports for
the two months referred to above in reply to our friend, Mr.. Herrs
communication, published in another column, and here it is:
