Southern is Surveyor.

Southern is Surveyor.
Many opinions were delivered by
the supreme court in banc and by d1-
vision No. 1. In the court in banc an
opinion by Judge Henry w. Bond, con-
Cured in by all of the judges, sustalns
the right of the governor to fill by ap-
pointment the vacancy in the office OF
county surveyor of Jackson county.
The court holds that Judge Allen z.
Southern, who was appointed county
surveyor by Gov. Major last January,
is not only entitled to that office, but,
by virtue of the special act applying
only to Jackson county, is ex officio
county highway engineer.
The option dismisses the quo war
ranto of the encouragement as to
Southern, but ~sustains it as to Oliver
C. Shelley, who was made highway en-
gineer by the Jackson county court,
and orders that a writ of custer to
pry him out of office be issued. This
deprives Shelley of the office.

Gen. Villa will certainly give the
most serious, attentive and practical
consideration to any friendly sugges-
ton that reaches him from President
Wilson, whose unselfishness of pur-
pose he well understands, and fully
appreciates"

Fees Seem to Go Wrong.

Fees Seem to Go Wrong.
The Farris investigating committee
has received from expert account
ants a report showing that Insurance
Superintendent Charles G. Revelle,
former Superintendent Frank Blake
and many employees of the depart
ment have been receiving varying
amounts in fees in addition to their
salaries. In some instances, the fees
have exceeded the salaries fixed by
law.
The report declares that in some
instances the state has not received
large amounts due it in fees from in
surance companies and that some OF
the companies have been under
charged.
1t is also stated that some money
appropriated by the legislature for
a specific purpose has been used to
pay salaries of extra men placed on
the payroll.
The accountants report that they
| have been unable to discover $10,4S1.-
80 in fees which have been retained
by supefintendents and employees in
the last four years. This does not
represent more than half the amount
retained according to the report The
accountants say they could not trace
the remainder because only half the
companies answered the accountants
requests for a statement of the sums
paid.
These fees represent a charge OF
$40 to $1,000 for valuation of policies
The law is not clear on the subject
of who shall have these fees.
