COUNTY SALARY LAW IS
UNPOPULAR 1T SEEMS

JACKSON. Miss, Nov. n. (Spl.)--
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear on members elect OF the leglsla-
ture for the repeal Of the new law eff
fective on the first Monday in January
placing all county officers on salary
basis.
Sheriffs and tax collectors and cir
cult and %chanCecy clerks are leading
the fight against abolishlng the fee
system, and they have affected a most
formidable organization. The fight Is
being made in the open and the new
inCumbents of these offices frankly de-
clare that they will have a strong lobby
in Jackson during the meeting Of the
lawmaking body.
The statute abolishing the fee system
was passed at the 1918 session after an
exceedingly hard fight, and was the
elimination of several years of effort,
1t is estimated that its enforcement
means a saving of about $3.50 900 per
year to the taxpayers of the state.
