CANTON, S. D.-Further inquiry has
been made into the question Of salaries
of county officers affected by the falling
off in the vote polled at the late election.
and it is found that county judges are
not the only ones who will have their
salaries reduced. Treasures and super
| intendents in many of the counties have
also suffered. In most instances treas
urers have experienced a much greater
loss than judges. In this Nincoln)
county the newly elected treasurer will
get over $3.50 a year less than his prede-
cessor, Professor J. B.. Clendennen. The
/ law In these cases is practically the same
as that governing the salaries Of judges.
The injustice has attracted widespread at
tention, especially among the members of
the next legislature. and 1T is reasonably
certain change will be made. This,
however, cannot be done in time to relieve
officers whose terms begin the first OF
January. ~
