supreme court, too, on Saturday de
ded that fccj must all be turned over

holds that thu statute liking the compeD
sation of county CLERKS at gwen salary,
and providing that such salary shall be
full compensation for all service what
ever performed by such clerk, is pros
pectve in It's terms and operation and
therefore the fact that cubs quent

of these officers. II IL the manifest
policy OF the legislature that all fees
charged must be accounted for and all
receipts deducted from the quarterly
allowance or salary which the law pre-
scribes. The court further hulIs that
the fees 30 earned are due the county

they were received by the county clerk
and an action to recover by the county
clerk must be brought within three
years from that time.
