Abolition of Fee System Object of Sixth Amendment
The Dallas News reports a pending Texas proposal to end the fee system for county and precinct officers in counties of 20 000 or more, replacing fees with fixed salaries and delaying effectiveness to January 1, 1937 or after a legislative session. It would fix salaries by the Legislature for large counties, with smaller counties optional. The measure excludes notaries public, county surveyors and public weighers. It lists eighty two counties meeting the population threshold and notes renewed fee abuses after Beck committee reforms.
