JUSTICEWAS RETROACTIVE
Mr.. Pagan Viii Profit by Claim He
Held Was Illegal.

The decision of the supreme court last
Saturday in which it was held that the
old statute allowing probate judges SIS
for each thousand Of population for serv-
ices under the prohibitory law, is still in
force. means that the counties of Kansas
will have to pay out a good many thou
sand dollars as back salary to men who
have held the office of probate judge dur
ing the past five years It means an in
crease in the salary Of the probate judge
of Shawnee county amounting to about
1925 year, with over $1,000 back pay.
About $4,000 Of this goes to l. S: Dolman.
About three years ago L S Dolman.
then probate judge of Shawnee county,
brought up this same question and brought
suit in the district court against the cOun-
ty commissioners for back salary The
suit went against him and he carried it
to the court Of appeals, where he also
lost and he then dropped it.
W E. Fagan was county auditor at the
time DOlman put in his claim and he
turned it down. Now Mr. Pagan is pro-
bate Judge and will profit by the supreme
courts decision. although it was adverse
to the decision he himself made as county
auditor three years ago.
