AGAINST OLD FEE SYSTEM

The first judicial expression upon
the legislative act of 1917, changing
the compensation of certain county Of
ficials from a fee TO a salary basis,
was recently obtained in suit brought
against the sheriff of Archuleta county
to recover salary under the new stat
ute. The district court requested
briefs , and Leslie E. Hubbard, attor-
ney-general, submitted an argument
sustaining the new statute. The
court held the statute to be constitu-
tional. The decision affects officers in
every county in Colorado, and is dis
tinct victory for those who have long
held the fee system to be obsolete and
pernicious.

to get the range Of Fritz's trench he
adopts the method OF what h. terms

bullets hit the German barbed wire.

To disguise the fare of his gun at
