FULL CREW REPEAL WINS The Benedict bill, abolishing the fee system in Marlon County and placing the offices on a straight salary basis, passed the House late yesterday by a vote of 69 to 8.

Hay of Lake, Gottschalk of Adams, Grayson of Knox, Hull of Jackson, Lafuze of Wayne and Union, Tilden of Allen and Xoll of Marlon. It was stated that those who voted against passage of the bill did so because it was their opinion the bill was not drastic enough. The bill gives the treasurer access to practically all the big fees that now go to swell bis salary. The bill now goes to the Senate for further action. Several amendments were made to the bill on second reading arid In committee. Jt was reported favorably with amendments Feb. 1 by the Committee on Affairs of the City of Indianapolis. Under the bill, as amended, the county officers would receive the following salaries: Clerk. $7,500; auditor, 57.300; recorder, $6.500: sheriff. 57.500; treasurer, $3,000; prosecuting attorney, $7,500.

LEMCKE ESCAPES BIEL’S PROVISIONS. The bill would not affect present officials nor the officials-elect who are soon to take office. This provision exempts Ralph A. I.emeke, treasurer of Marion County, who will not begin his second term until next year. It means he will have two more years to amass fees under the old system.
