THE SALARY BILL.

There has been an insistent de
mand in Louisiana for years t.
abolish the fee system and place
all officials on a salary basis. The
demand has grown so strong thai
the legislature has at last takel
the matter up and to that end I
bill is spending in the Legislature
which is intended to bring about
the desired reform.
From smattering KNOWLEDGE
of the impending bill we are of
the opinion that it is not calculat-
ed to work for the best interests
Of the people. We do not doubt
the honesty and sincerity Of the
sponsors of the bill but we doubt
if it is framed in srch a manner
that it will save money for the
entire population Of Louisiana.
Undoubtedly it will serve to cut
off the income Of some of the Off
cials affected. but Oh the other
hand it will increase the income
Of those who are receiving small
sums under the fee system.
The fee system may be vicious
but it can be no worse than to
save at one place and lose at many
others. The fee system has one
thing in it's favor-every official
is treated exactly the same and
his income is gauged by the
amount Of business his Office trans
acts. In PROSPEROUS times his in
come grows large. 1t languishes
when times grow harder and
money scarcer. There would be
no fluctuations under salary
basis. The fees, however large
or small, would go into the state !,
or parish treasury ard from that !
treasury he would receive his .
salary.
It is a beautiful theory but we
doubt if it will altogether work
out in actual practice. The leg
is'ature went at the matter in
slip-shod fashion. 1t was in
great hurry-to en-
act legislation demanded by the
people. In its efforts to please all
it is about to commit monu- |
mental blunder. The idea of
passing this bill in it's present
shane ought to be abandoned at i,
the present session. It could
-o' be over until the session of 1
1918. by which time it could be
% framed or amended as 70 meet !
