rHr OLD FEE SYSTEM

The constantly arising eontrovef'
sizes touching official fees are bound
to be embarrassing TO officials. Ey'
cry year. IL seems. there are differ
lencos between the auditor and some
or the county officials. In some
cases. officials have been compelled
to return sums Of money alleged e
have been collected or retained in ex.
cess OF the allowances Of the law.
No one believes that any OF these
public servants would Intentionally
exact more than they are entitled to
but the law is construed differently
by different people.
The one remedy for these fee quar-
rcls is 10 abolish forever the infa-
nous fee systems and pay each Of
fetal and employc a specific salary
and provide by specific declarations
mat he is TO receive no more, no
lees
The people have been demanding
TIE abolition OF the fee system for
many years. but efforts to abolish II
ere defeated in the legislature
through the efforts OF those who arc
beneficiaries Of the system. cir
enmstance which suggests that those
who arc honored with public station
consider that the offices are Great
el primarily for the benefit of the
people who hold them instead of for
tn, benefit of the people who pay the
expenses of the government.
II has been pointed out many times
that the existence of the fee system
OF official compensation is produc-
tive of many evils. II obstructs tho
processes OF justice, We still have
with US the old scandal of the fine
of zone dollar and costs" which
means one dollar for the public
treasury and anywhere from a dozen
to forty dollars of swag for the dill
gent Officers. This system means
that men are punished not to avengo
the outraged law, but to fatten the
pockets of the thrifty officials.
An citizens who favor clean adj
specific compensation
and economy ought to demand Of
the legislature that the fee system
be entirely obllterated 1t is no
longer justified and il SERVES no
good public purpose. Let each of
fetal who serves the public be paid
his salary out of the public treasury
in a systematic way. and then stop
fec grabbing and all the evils it in
PRODUCES into our government

CYCLONE ANNOUNCES FOR
CONGRESS AND IS OE1ICAl

resentative Cyclone Davis removed
all doubt as to his future political
plans when he declared he is can
didate for reelection. 1t was his
first statement on the subject and
will be followed by "a lengthy ad-
dress TO the voters of Texas.
Mr.. Davis plans TO return to Tex
as early in April for a weeks cam
paign of ten speeches. He will open
in Milan county. He announces he
will not be absent from Washing
ton when the army, naval and rural
credits bills are considered. With
the exception of Representative Hen
~ the entire Texas delegation is now
seeking reelection.
Cyclone Becomes Poetical.
The recent mixup in the senate
impelled Representative Cyclone Da-
Wis to pen the following little epic:
(By Cyclone" Davis, representative
from Texas. Written for tho
United Press).
In war we find that might makes
right
Right is wrong and wrong is right,
According to the power that wins
the fight
England made a big war zone,
And made the world just let it alone,
England, feeling that she was boss,
Forbid the world her zone to cross,
That all the world must doff to her.
And stand in awe and dread and fear,
And refuse to trade with German
folk,
But bow their neck and take her
yoke.
Germany turned her dash hound"
loose,
Said sauce for the gander was sauce
for the goose,
She made herself a big war zone
And told the world to let it alone.
Then Uncle Sam said that was mean,
Cause Germany used a submarine,
He refused to aecede TO Germany
right.
And bristled up to make a fight.
Then congress flushed and flopped
and flew,
land didn't know just what to do.
|Some swore that war in such a case
Would be a crime, rank disgrace;
|The senate rose with all its power,
To settle the question of the hour.
One man there is always blind,
But better man is hard to find.
This blind man, T. r. Gore,
Was the man that got the floor,
lie opposed a war with all his
strength,
And in debate he went full length.
IThe senate fused and fumed,
It's wisest men were coached and
groomed.
The German war zone must be
crushed"
And all Cores elamor must be hush
ed.
THEY were war drunk, had lost their
mind.
And fell victim TO the blind.
They thought they'd call the blind
mans bluff.
But when they did they got enough.
The joke is on. the tale is rich,
The blind led the blind; they went,
10 the ditch.
They tabled themselves instead of
Gore.
And now they are sick and sore.
All this shows that the wisest men
May be routed now and then.
But all is left in the presidents care
And the rank war fiend is up in the
air.
And the country moves on as before,
With compliments to Mr.. Gore.
