(.,.OKLAHOMA...;
z IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE TERRITORY.
County Officers Salaries.

In answer TO request from County
Attorney Burleson Of Roger Mills
county, Attorney General Strang rem
dered an opinion constituting section GO.
Of chapter Is, the fee and salary act of
1897, in the first provision of which II Is
provided that the sheriff, county attor-
ncy and county treasurer Of any county
are entitled to an increase Of salary
provided the county has an assessed
valuation equal to that of counties
having 10000 or more population; and
In the second provision of the same sec
tion the county clerk Is also included
in the lis, OF officials entitled to an in.
crease Of salary. In his opinion the
attorney general says;
VI am of the opinion that the county
slerk should he included in the first
provision Of section 90, as well as in
the last provision of the said section.
Evidently the omission of the name of
the county cleelt from the first pro-
vision in said section was unin, .ional.
There would be no s~nsr in including
II in the second provision unless the
legislature intended to include II in
the first provision. I therefore say
that the said provision should read that
the sheriff, treasurer, county attorney
and county clerk Of such county hav.
ing less than 10000 inhabitants shall
be allowed to retain compensation, etc
In answer to the query when such
increase shall commence, in the same
opinion the attorney general saws:
Section SO Of the same act provides
the basis for fixing increase Of salary
and declares the commissioners shall
adopt as the basis for such Increase the
number of inhabitants of a county re.
turned by the assessor in 1896 and each
two years thereafter. IL follows then
that the basis of fixing the salaries Of
such officers at this time is the returns
of the assessors of the counties for the
year 1900. The act does not fix any cS-
act time at which the increase of sala-
''"'' 'SE''' puN u II the CNltCut
tention of the legislature to make the
increase dependent upon the last pre-.
cecding assessment. We're il not for
this fact would think the salary for
the year should be based upon the re-.
turns for that year. But at the end of
the first quarter of the year the assess
ors' returns for 1900 were not in. and ii
was then unknown what the increase
in population OF the county II any,
would he, and therefore the only basis
for fixing the salary during that quar-.
ter would be the returns of the assess.
ors for 1898. Al the end of the second
quarter Of the ycnr the assessors re.
turns were undoubtedly in and the ba.
sis for the increase of salary at hand.
and then the salary for the quarter, in
my judgment, should be based upon the
returns as they appear ut the end of
that quarter"

last circular held apparently that those
acts are no longer in force and urc sup

His last circular Is as follows.
Your attention Is called to that por-
tion Of the act of May 81, 1900, entitled
An act making appropriations for the
current and contingent expenses OF the
Indian department and for fulfilling
treaty stipulations with various Indian
tribes for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1901, and for other purposes, which
reads as follows: That the settlers
who purchased with the condition IAN.
neSed of actual settlement on all ceded
Indian reservations be, aud they are
hereby granted an extension to July l,
1900, in which TO make payments as
now provided by law.
AS proof and payment must be
made at the same time an extension OF
time for maxim. payment involves q
corresponding time within which to
make final proof. This act does not,
however, limit the time within which
proof and payment are TO be made in
cases where, under former acts, such
payments will not become due until
after July I, 1901,
This act extends the time for maxi
ing final proof and payment of final
commissions on the lands affected by
the net of May II, 1900, where such
payment becomes due prior TO July
1901"
large number of homestcadcrs in
this land district to be ON the safe side,
are making final proof. The local land
Office is doing fully three times as much
business as IL did before the passage
