Trouble About Terms of once.

The new amendment 10 sthe constitution
is proving great source of wordment to
county officials. Public Examiner Knox is
flooded with communications in regard 10
the matter. Under the old law county
tresSurers were obliged to qualify before
jan 10 and auditors before March l. The
new law makes no provision for changing
the requirement As the board of county
commissioners does not meet until
the first Tuesday in January and the newly
elected officers take their seats before this
date. it would seem that they could not
transact business until after the
9th inst. The attorney general
has previously held, however, that
that the board can be convened at any time
for special object, and the matter will
probably be settled in that manner. The
other important question is in regard to
salaries. Many Of the county officers had
drawn their salaries Hp to next March by
the middle of Jane, as the law permits; aud,
SIS the new term begins the first Monday IN
January, the question arises, shall re-
elected officials receive double pay Tor
these two months, or shall new officials not
receive any?" either OF which alternatives
would work injustice. Public Examiner
Kuox has submitted the matter to the attor-
ney general.
