Abolish the Fee System and Election Promises
The piece argues for abolishing state office fees and replacing them with flat salaries. It cites 1894 Republican pledges, 1902 platforms, and contrasts Furnish, Chamberlain, Matthews, and the Oregonian. It accuses Furnish and Fulton of backing fees, while Chamberlain supports reform. Matthews’ paper is seen as political weaponry for votes.
