hSCclNCI anu LAX CCAlC~IOI.
That is, our State Legislature IS
given the right and power tc com
bine these two offices, Tax Receiy
er and Tax Collector, INTO one Of
flee the officer hereaftec holding
the one combined office 10 perform
the duties and DO the work now done
by both. But the Legislature is not
compelled TO combine these offices,
it is simply given tire authority 20 90
so, which authority it does not now
have in the manner herein provided
for.
2.-'Tn any or all Of the coun-
ties Of the State"
That is, the two offices may be
combined for any one county, for
several counties, or for all of the
counties in the State. This means
that it viii be left entirely optional
with each county to decide which
system lit wants-the two separate
offices on fees, or the one combiG' d
office on salary or fees. If Jones Co.
desires only the combined office
then the Representative from Jones
county will have a local bill passed
in the Legislature, providing that
the two offices shall be combined,
etc. in that county. Exactly as was
done under the amendment an
thorizing the General Assembly to
put county treasurers on a salary
instead Of fees.
3.-"The official performing
the duties Of said two offices,
when so consolidated, to be known
as County Tax Commissioner"
That is, instead of having a Tax
Receiver and Tax Collector, there
will be only one officer, whose Of,
ficial title will be County Tax Com,
missioner, who shall both receive
and collect.
4.-"And the General Assem-
bly, may prescribe the compen5a-
ton Of such County Tax Commits
sioner or authorize County Au-
thorities to fix the same"
The county authorities in oar
county, as in most every county of
the State, are the county commits

sioners. And this provision means
that the Legislature can fix the pay
this Tax Commissioner shall re-
ccive, which would be done in a
local bill combining the two Of
fees, or the Legislature can pro-
vide that this pay shall be fixed byI
the county commissioners of that
county. This provision was made
this way because there was and is 4
difference of opinion among sone
people as to whether it is best to
let the Legislature fix the pay. as
it does for the county treasurer,
the City Court Judge, and several
other offices, or to let the COUNT
commissioners decide the amount Of
pay, as they now do with several
county officers or employees.
5.-"Which compensation may
be on the basis Of fees or salary,
and may be fixed without regard
to uniformity in the various courl-
ties"
The Tax Receiver md Tax Col.
lector are both now paid by fees,
each receiving the same. In some
counties of the State these fees
amount to very large sums, almost
as much as is paid the President; in
other counties these fees amount to
only reasonable pay; in still offers
(the very small counties) these fees
are hardly enough to induce a gond
man to offer for The office. So this
provision leaves it optional with
each county to decide for itself
whether the county Tax Commits
sioner will be paid in fees (commis
sions) and the amount of the fees.
or whether he will have a salary and
the amount of such salary. A home
rule proposition entirely.
6.-"And when such compen5a-
ton is fixed on a salary basis the
authority fixing the same shall
determine what disposition shail
be made of the fees and commis-
sions accruing to each of said Of
fees so consolidated"
Of course, if a salary is provided,
then the county will simply abolish
the fees now paid the Tax Receiver
and the Tav Collector, that is,

these fees will be paid into the coun-
ty treasury; but it must go further,
for the State also pays the Tax Re
ceiver and Tax Collector fees for
collecting its part Of the tax mon
ey; so it will be necessary to pro-
vide either, that the pay Of the Tax
Commissioner shall be SO much in
addition to the fees paid him by
the State, or that his salary shall
be a certain sum and the fees paid
by the State shall be turned into
