eWise Ones Say Expense of

Not Have Been Great.
ASSAIL FEE SYSTEM

Discussion was conferred today in po-
liticaI circles at the courthouse on the
exposure Of the 5,115 fee which was
grabbed off by County Auditor Leo n
Fesler for services rendered during the
registration and for having made copies
of the complete lists of registered voters
for the chairmen Of the Republican ana
Democratic parties in Marion County.
The wise ones at the courthouse lgure
that Auditor Fesler will be able to
pocket for himself from $4,000 to $500
from the total OF S5.115 which was al
lowed him by the two 'reliables' on the
board of county cOmmissioners-LeWlS

Of Commissioners Shank and George but
shortly after inquiry was made by the
renortar. the fact was spread on the
records Of the baiIiff Of the commission

The wise ones st the Courthouse nBure
that Fesler employed ten girls at $50
week TO work on the registration lists. II
required about two weeks TO get the nrst
registration compiled and little less
than two weeks to finish work on the
second. They figure that such service

ZEE SYSTEM
IMPOSITION.
The exposure Of such a fee grab, al
though the State Board Of Accounts ad-
mits that It authorized county auditors
TO make claims at 5 cents per name on
the registration lists. has resulted IN
widespread discussion of the evils OF the
fee system and the terrific burden and
imposition made upon the taxpayers OF
the county.
There is now much discussion over the
proposed introduction OF a bill at the
next Legislature abolishing the fee sys-
tenn which enables Auditor Fesler and

same fat that they did while the man
was attired in his night clothes.
Shaffer says in mis- divorce complaint,
which was fled before Judge Vincent

he believes portions of poison have been
administered in his food and claims his
wife has threatened to poison him.

SUGAR AND BREAD

The conJuncture or two news it.
ems appearing simultaneously the
other day afforded food for thought
One stated, on competent authori-
ty, that imports of Cuban sugar in
to the United States this year, down
to April 10th, had been 416,314,640
pounds, or more than 20 percent
greater than in the same time last
year. Also, that the 1920 sugar
crop of British India was lab, 440.-
900 pounds, or more than 81 per-
cent larger than that of 1919.
The other item was the announce
ment of great scarcity of sugar in
our markets, coupled with the pre-
diction, made by some of the best
informed and most authoritative
leaders that within two months the
retail price would be as high as
from 80 to 35 cents a pound; an in
crease of from so to rs percent
above the present extortianate
prices; and a consequent appeal to
the government for price fixing in
PREVENTION.
1t would be interesting to have
the precise relationship of this CO.
incidence to the law of demand and
supply fully explained: together
with the bearing of that law, in this
particular case, upon prices.
Another couplet of items also ap-
pearing at the same time as the
above, had an equally interesting
bearing,-though from a different
angle, upon the same general sub
ject..
One stated that, according to inves-
LEGATIONS by the state board of ag-
riculture, the wheat growers of Kan
sas lost an average of 43 cents an
acre on last years operations, de-
spite the fact that their grain
brought from 25 to so cents a bush
ell more than the high price guaran-
teed by the government.
The other stated that the depart
ment of agriculture. at Washington
had received so many reports of a
largely decreased acreage in this
springs wheat planting that it was
moved to issue an appeal to farmers
to revise their plans and increase
rather than reduce their acreage.
These items suggest that it would
be instructive to have 1t explained
precisely what it profits either the
wheat grower or the bread eater 10
have the government fix prices.

SCHOOL CONSTELLATION WINS
Taxpayers i'm Viola and Lincoln
Townships Vote for Consolidation

A special election was held in vi
ola township recently on the matter
of consolidating tho public schools
in a portion of that township. The
matter had been pretty thoroughly
discussed and the result of the cleo
tion was that the consolidation car
ried by majority of 29 votes.
A few days ago a similar election
was held in Lincoln township and
this carried by majority of II
votes. The result of these elections
is highly gratifying to the people
who are most directly interested. At
tempts to consolidate in other parts
of the county have failed, but the
folks in Viola and Lincoln town
ships have determined to take the in
itiative in Audubon county and will
endeavor to prove that the consoli-
dation OF public schools is the only
way to successfully. meet present
conditions.
