[EL] Different Dem/GOP filing fees in AR?

[Sean Parnell]

Ran across this line in an article on Gilmore and Pataki not filing in the
Arkansas primary:

 

"Republican presidential candidates were required to pay the party's $25,000
filing fee in Arkansas, compared with $2,500 for Democrats."

ling-deadline-arkan/

 

The language is a little ambiguous, but am I correct in assuming each party
sets the filing fee to be on their party's ballot? Anybody know if this is
unique to Arkansas, or if other states operate under similar rules?
