OFFICIALS RECEIVE
HUGE REVENUE FEES

AUGUSTA, March IL. Al
though none of the present Rich
mond county officers ON a fee sys-
tenn are willing to make state
ment at this time as to their conn.,
rensation it has developed that the
tax collector and the tax receiver
have one source of income which,
though entirely legal in every way,
was not known to the general public
nor the Board of Education
though it results in a cost to the
board of $4,000 a year.
1t has been revealed to the board
that the tax collector and tax re-
ceiver each received, in addition to
their fees from taxes collected for
the county and state, one and one
quarter per cent of all money col
lected by them for the Board of
Education.
With digest in round numbers
of $4O,OOO,OOO the board collects
at the rate of $14 per thousand,
$560,000 from the taxpayers of the
county. Under the state law, one
and one-quarter per cent, or ST.
600, of that amount is retained by
the tax collector as his fee and the
tax receiver retains similar
amount. This results in a cost to
the board of $4,000 per annum for
the collection of money for school
purposes.

Union Pacific Official Says
Radicals Would Place
Roads in Bankruptcy.

z. d. White, special representative
OF the general manager of the Union

Of the Triangle club at luncheon on
Tuesday, expressed hls opinion that
government ownership Of railroads Is
not desirable, in view of the wide ex-
tension OF governmental supervision
THE railroad of this country are
really operated by the people, said
White, when we stop to consider the
functions of the various state railway
commissioners. the interstate com

Dor board and other regulatory bodies.
The railroads cannot raise or lower
rates without first giving 80 days no.
tice and then the rates are subject
to review. Wages paid are subject TO
the deliberations of the labor board ;"
White asserted that II all railroad
legislation now pending in congress
should be enacted into laws. all of
the railroads would soon be bankrupt.
These radicals are working toward
government ownership" he added.
They want to see the roads forced
into bankruptcy and then have the
government take them over. This
accomplished, it would be the first
step toward communism. They would
follow with government ownership of
banks and farms"
