PROPOSE STRAIGHT SALARY
TO COMPENSATE SHERiFFs

Pierre, S. d., Feb. 20.-Taking away
from sheriffs their present fee and
mileage privileges, and giving them a
fixed salary with actual expense allow
ances, is proposed in II. B. 279, intro
duced by Representative THOMPSON. of
Mfnnehaha. Salaries range from 5000,
in the smallest counties, to S. 1000 in
The largest. Mileage is only allowed
for overland travel, and ali railroad
fare and other expenses are to be for
actual money paid out as shown by
vouchers. All fees are to be turned
into the county treasury. Board for
county prisoners will be paid for on
q basis of actual cost. The sheriff is
allowed no per diem or mileage for con-
Veyfng prisoners to p~enitentiary or in
sane persons to hospitals, receiving
only remuneration for his actual ex-
penses.
Figures which MI. Thompson has
rollected show that counties are spend
ing large sums in fees to sheriffs in ad-
dltlon to their regular salaries and he
believes a great saving will be effected
by having these fees turned into the
county and cutting out extra charges
for transporting prisoners n insane
people.
