a new one. Similar questions were raised
in 1883 in 1893 and even as far back as

Also says that acting as clerk Of the
county commissioners is one of his
duties, how can he legally draw this
500 when the fees of his office exceed
the sum of $500? You will notice by
the above quotation from the statute
that this 500 Is a salary and not "A
fee. Consequently where his fees are
sufficient to pay his salary of $500
he has no claim whatever upon this
extra salary of S400. The decision of
the supreme court above quoted also
says the same thing, that when his
fees cover his salary he is not entitled
to extra compensation. The clerk of
this county is at present drawing a fee
OF 800 quarterly for clerk of the board

stayed in the county treasury whore it

county would have had 800 in the
treasury, instead Of 1855 .35 as a bal
OF excess fees in the hands. of
the clerk. In other words that great
movement of converting a
statutory salary into a county fee has
cost Webster county $44 65 which with
other Tees has gone to pay for extra
help to the tune of 1904, aside from
the regular salary of the clerk and his
deputy. Reform is mighty, especially
