office OF Land Commissioner Not
One OF Fees.

The Court of Appeals, in an opinion
written by Judge Constable. has decided
that the Office of Commissioner of the Land
Office is a salary Office by the State Con-
stitution. and that the allowance Of fees
under Chapter 3iS. of the Acts of 1900,
codified in Section Is of Article Sd Of the
Code of Public General Laws. is Illegal In
this judgment it reverses the Circuit Court
for Anne Arundel county.
The case was initiated when James S.
Shepherd. the incumbent in the position,
asked for a mandamus against Hugh A..
McMullen. Comptroller. to compel him to
pay to the petitioner rs per cent. Of the
fees received for land business. The lower
court directed the mandamus to issue, and
the appeal followed.
The opinion discussed the condition Of
the law prior to the Constitutions Of 1854
and 1887, and quoted from the debates Of
the conventions which adopted these in
struments to show that it was the inten-
ton Of the trainers to make the Office a
salaried one, with the salary fixed at 81 1900.
Chapter 3lS, of the Acts of 1900. the opin-
ion said, was an effort to repeal the Con-
stitutional provision, and, as such. is cleary
invalid.
The case is Of special importance, as
much the same principles are involved in the
right Of the Secretaries of State to receive
certain fees given them by Act Of the
Legislature. It also has some bearing on
the increase by legislative act Of the sala-
ries Of judses.-Annapolis Advertisers Re
