There Is u fee of ll.f.n for each brand or mark recorded, and It seems that tho secretary of state, ns ono of the members of said committee, has been tak ing as compensation fnr services rendered 20 per cent of the feo charged for recording such brand or mark. 1 desire your opinion as to whether there Is any warrant of law for such compensation." Tho Htatutory provision to which you mako refereiico is as follows: "Each person desiring to have his brand and mark recorded, as hereinafter nrovldcd. shall pay Into the office of the secretary of state a feo of $1.50 for recording such brand or mark; 20 per cent of all such fees so paid Into said office shall be paid to each member of said state brand and mark commltten us full compi'iisatlnu tin' their services." (Section ", chapter II, Compiled Hiauiics.i There can lie no uncertainty about tin opinion In this matter. The secretary of suite cannot lawfully retain such a fee for his own use.
