REVELATION OF THE FEE
SYSTEM.
Norfolk Virgiaian-Pilot.)

NOr1Clk NlISEHdH-i iioI'J
The positive revelations contained
in the report of the Commission Gre
atcd bv the General Assembly Of
1914 to examine into the fee system
of rcmuncrating pubic officials IN
Virginia bear out, in-large measures,
the estimates made BY the Virginlan-
Pilot some three years ago OF the var
:ous compcnsations accruing undo"
that system to holders Of public Oh
flee in Norfolk. The Clerk OF the
Court reports net income from ms
Office Of s15,35S.29, while the City
Treasurer and the City Sergeant re-
port, respectively. S11,574.99 and So,
S50.54. The Commissioner OF Revenue
gives his gross income as Sl3,fl4.i2.
but iiIcs no list OF his expenses.
Under the West law, enacted by
.he General Assembly OF two years
ago and which constitutes and was
intended to be only preliminary
step towards correction OF the f:e
evil, the maximum salary which q
fee-paid ofiicia! may now draw is
limited to $1,000 u year, the. fees in
excess of that amount, if any arc
collected, being covered into the Pub
lie treasury. This provision became
effective with the beginning OF thc
current year. To say chat the limit
is not unrcasonably high is to argue
that officials occupying offices The

ton would be ridiculously absurd.
The truth is, as has long been rec
ognized, that the fee system is wrong
in theory, inequitable in practice snd
should be eliminated in favor of fix
ed salaries. 1t was, as We understand
it, with view to arriving at full and
exact facts to guide the General As
sembly in making such substitution
that the Commission was created, and
we can not regard = other than az
regrettable that the Commissl>n die
not make its report il tlrlc Tor the
Legislature now in session to take
action in the matter. The reform is
one that must come and will come
sooner or later, ana the sooner it is
made effective, the better.

QUILT
FORMED OF MATERIAL ONE HUN.
DRED YEARS OLD ON DISPLAY
AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

1t will be of interest to many to
know that silk quilt, made by the
women of the Clinton grange of the
material from a number OF the dress
es of Mrs. Asel Allen, former resi-
dent of Knox county, is on exhibition
in the display window of the chamber
of commerce.
Several of these dresses of Mrs.
Asel Allen came into the possession
of the women of the grange and they
accordingly started a silk quilt. AL.
though the work on the quilt is new
the material which was used in its
making is probably over century
old. This quilt is quite a curiosity
as it shows the patterns in the cloth
that were used at the time of the
creation of the dresses.
