THE COURTS CONCLUSIONS.

Eve do not think that these deductions
are legitimateiy drawn from the facts
stated The value of the services evident
" had been ascertained by the senate
when II fixed the per diem OF these en-
ployes. IL must have been upon this as
and II was agreed upon. when II was 50
fixed by the senate and the employees ac-
cepted the offices and entered upon the
discharge of their duties.
1T IL the provision tof the consttu-
tom viz: That the Legislature shall never
grant any extra compensation to any pub
lie officer agent, servant or contractor.
after the same shall have been rendered
or the contract entered into; and. whether
or not the relator was a public officer.
he certainly was servant of the state.
He entered into contract with che
state and extra compensation has now
been voted him for services which had
already been rendered There IN no doubt
of the powers of the legislature to have
at any time they determine that the Of
hcer was not sufficiently paid. increased
his per diem; but that Is a different prop
osition from the one involved here. where
the compensation was added after the
services had been performed II the whole
disposition of the case were to depend
upon the last clause of the Constitution.
In relation to public offices. then there
would have been no occasion for the In
sertion of the arst proposition. The con-
stitution In that respect itself, makes a
distinction
cit seems TO us that the language OF
the constitution Is so plain and comprc-
hensiye that there Is little room for con-
struction, and IL the language employed
would not serve 10 prohibit payment Of
more wages after services were rendered
than was originally contracted for, IL
would be difficult 20 use language that
would bring about that result !"
