Follow the Law.

The supreme court in handing
down a decision the other day took
occasion to rip up few boards of
county commissioners in Idaho. It
said:
"The utter disregard with which
some of the boards of county COM
missioners in this state treat the
provisions of our statutes has caused
us to call attention to some of the
duties of such boards"
The comment of the court is time
ly, indeed. Some of the boards in
Bear Lake in the past have not been
as careful to follow the plain pro-
visions of the law as they might
have. For instance, quarterly state
ments Of fees collected by officers
have not been made part of the Of
fetal minutes, or if they have these
statements have never been pub
lished. Again the publication of
the quarterly reports has never been
exacted till last year Again semi
annual reports have never been pub
lished concerning the standing of
the county. Two of these should
be published each year, in January
and July.
These things are required to be
done by law, and these failures is
just what the supreme court had
reference to in its decisions.

The supreme court simply took
occasion to show Thum that he was

Relating to County Expenses.

The supreme court has rendered a
very important decision in the case of
81. D. Clyne, sheriff of Bingham county
vs. Bingham county. While the appeal
is dismissed. the district court being
criticised sharply for considering the
case and the county attorney being
hauled over the Goals for bringing such
an appeal in such form as that in which
this one came into the supreme court
the court lays down the law ON the sub
ject presented by the record.
Several points are passed upon by the
supreme court. 1t holds on one that a
sheriff is not authorized to serve a
subpoena outside of his county at the
expense of his county, but must send it
to the sheriff of the county where it is
to be served. Another rule laid down
is that an officer shall not be allowed
board and lodging expenses while away
from home in the discharge of his off,
cial duties
The court says further that when an
appeal is filed. the clerk must, within
FIVE days, transmit copy of the order
appealed from. to the district court,
and if he doesn't do SO the judge should
dismiss the appeal.
The court further says that stipula-
tions, between counsel for both sides of
a controversy, agreeing to have court
decide only certain questions in an ap-
peal. will not be tolerated A court
must decide all the points in case.
The court also decides that constables
are only entitled to 20 cents a mile
when travelling on criminal business.
All bills presented to the board of
county commissioners for officers
expenses must be infinitely set ont.
Putting in expenses in lump won't do.
In winding up its decision the court
says:
We have given careful attention to
the question suggested by this record,
not for the reason that it is necessary
to disposition of this appeal, but be-
cause we think that the interests of the
public demand that we should do so.
The utter disregard with which some
of the boards of commissioners in this
state treat the provisions of our stat
utes has induced us to call special at
tention to some of the duties Of such
boards, under the statutes, in the mat
ter of passing upon claims presented
against the county. With this idea in
view, we have quoted largely from the
statutes and made suggestions as to
their application to claims of the char
aeter of those in the record before us.
Commissioners should not consider that
they are a law unto themselves, but
should pay careful heed TO the pro-
visions of the statutes and their duties
theyeunder.'
