New Scale of Clerks
Fees Effective Here

Following the signing of a bill by
Governor Dorsey few days ago es-
tablishing a new scale nj fees for
county clerks throughout Georgia,
announcement was made yesterday
by II. E. Allen, clerk of Sumter coun-
ty, that the new rates will be put into
effect here beginning Monday. The
bill became effective when signed by
the governor, but Mr.. Alien waited
to make the change here in order that
notice might be given the public.
The principal change as it affects
the public is in the fe for recording
deeds, mortgages, etc., which is rails
ed from Is to 20 cents per 100 words.
Other changes which affect attorneys
and county officers include the rails
ing of the fees for filing and dock
citing and issuing processes from So
to SO.
The new fee bill was sponsored by
the county officers organization
This is said to be the first increase
granted to clerks since 1878 when
the scale was fixed by constitutional
amendment. Sheriff's fees were in
creased in 1917 and justices of the
peace in 1919.

new OKLAHOMA Rates
I. c. C Schedules Ordered Into Effect
by Utilities Commission.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 1.-THE pub
lie utilities commission of Oklahoma
has ordered into effect in this state
the new freight and passenger rates
decided upon by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The opinion of
part as follows:
Transportation companies cannot
render efficient service except they be
adequately compensated therefor.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has made a finding as to what rates
are necessary.
For Oklahoma to refuse to pay for
any portion of the service which she
receives a rate equivalent to that
which is paid by citizens of other
states, and by interstate business, sa-
vors too much of the outlaw strike to
appeal to me.
I have made a number of trips to
Washington to meet the Federal Rail-
road Administration and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. My
ready to do her share of whatever is
found necessary to maintain efficient
service-we ask only that we be not
Disseminated against I was in
earnest-I thought I spoke the truth
still so think.
THE discrimination of which we
complain. and which was uninten-
tionally brought about by an unfor-
tunate combination of circumstances,
has been removed.
Peace and progress are essential
to continue prosperity. We should all
pull together.
IF the rates now provided prove to
be too high, they can be adjusted
downward. In the meantime, trans
portation companies should not be
harassed with a continual fight. but
should have an opportunity to concen-
trate all of their talent, and apply all
of their energy TO service improve
ment.
IF Oklahoma wants to shirk any
portion of the burden which is fairly
ours someone else will have to be
selected to deliver the MESA ge.'
