ONE JUDGE DISSENTS
CASS COUNTY POLITICAL
FIGHT
MAJORITY is REPUBLICAN
But Justice Buck VIII Not Assent
to a Decision Which Continues
AppOintive Officers Over Two
Years of Service, In Spite of the
Intent of the Constitution to
Have Such Offices Elective.

The supreme court yesterday dis
charged the order to show cause in
the case Of j. Spencer against c. E.
Griffith, county auditor of Cass county
The case was brought by Spencer to
compel Auditor Griffith to give his
name a place on the county ticket, as
he has been nominated by the Popu-
lists OF the county as a member Of the
board Of county commissioners.
The present commissioners were ap.
pointed by Gov. Clough in 1897, when
Cass county was organized, and pro-
tested to Auditor Griffith against this
as they were appointed for term Of
four years, by virtue Of chapter g.
general laws of 1897, under which the
county was organized.
The court in it's opinion says that the
law requires the county officers ordin-
arily and usually to be elected by the
people; that the legislature cannot pro-
vide for passing by general election
and allowing an appointed county Of
ficer to hold over beyond such an cleo
ton and to the next election, unless
there be some substantial reason for it,
which the legislature in it's discretion
may deem sufficient.
The court holds that such a reason
exists. Owing to the sparse settlement
of the county and the neWness of the
county organization it would not be
provident to attempt to disturb the
present county organization.
The syllabus is as follows:
]. Spencer, plaintiff, vs. c. E. Griffith, as
county auditor of the County Of Glass; Mimi,
defendant.
Sec. Of art. of the constitution requires
county officers to be ordinarily and usually
elected by the people, and the legislature can
not provide for passing by general election
and allowing appointed officers to hold over
to the next succeeding election unless there
is some substantial reason therefor
But, held, when a sparsely settled I'M
organized county is first organized, there may
be such a reason in the fact that it will
county government and get it into fair work.
-Canty. ].
Judge Buck, however, takes another
view of the subject and dissents from
the opinion of the other members Of
the court in the following language:
1 dissent. The law under consideration is
contrary to the spirit, if not the plain terms
Of the constitution. 1t is in direct conflict
with the general laws of the state upon mat
tiers of this kind. The doctrine that because
county is sparsely settled justi1es the
adoption of such a rule as laid down in the
majority opinion, is, in my opinion repugnant
to all the rules Of Interpretation and con-
struction. Cass county has 800 voters and
| several thousand inhabitants, who are cap
able of organizing a county government in
due form and In as short a time as a county
with greater population.

LOWER RATE OF INTEREST
SUPT. PENDERGAST THINKS 1T
WOULD ENCOURAGE SCHOOLS
State School Fund Could BE Used
Autobiography Where Money Is
Now Being borrowed Outside.

State Superintendent Of Schools
Pendergast is Of the opinion that tho
state should loan It's school fund, for
the purpose of assisting country school
districts to build new school houses, at
a much lower rate of interest than that
now prevailing. He is quite emphatic
in his views on this subject, as a re-
cent trip around the state disclosed
several cases where the school district
had gone outside of the state to borrow
money, first, because the states rate
Of interest was higher than that offer
ed elsewhere, and secondly because of
the limitations in the amount which
can be secured by a district.
You see," said Mr.. Pendergast dis
cussing the matter with The G. 10 b e
yesterday, there is scarcely any West
ern security which is considered better
than school district bonds. Many of
our towns desire to borrow money with
which to put up new brick house.
If the building is to cost three or four
thousand dollars and is in a town of
less than a. thousand people, sufficient
money cannot be secured from the
state to carry out the desires of the
people, and as a natural consequence
outside money is negotiated for, and
secured, while the states money liea
idle in the treaSurer's vaults without
earning anything. Indeed, [ have
known of several cases of late where
the loans secured outside the state
were at a much lower rate of interest
than that charged by the state. The
state charges 5 per cent interest on all
loans to rural school districts, and for
a district whose assessed valuation is
$4,000 a loan not exceeding 3 per cent
on a real property valuation is issued
by the state. This limit ought certain
ly to be increased. and at the same
time the rate Of interest decreased ma
terially, say to per cent This would
result in an untold blessing to the
state. It would stimulate every school
district In the state which is in the
least progressive to build a new school
house, and our school fund, which
largely lies idle, could be safely and
prOfitalbly utilized, and its benefits in
an educational way would continue to
accrue to the state for many years to
come. These loans run twenty years
and not less than five years. The state
would receive interest during all this
time, and at the same time build
UP the educational system Of the state
in a way which could only reflect honor
upon the commonwealth In the future
eff the state wishes to encourage the
building of good school houses through
out the rural and thriving towns, II
should meet the present conditions and
fix q rate of interest which will not be
quite so high. Even now Minnesota
has evidenced most progressive spirit
