THE STATE COLLEGE

With the beginning Of the college
year in September some important
changes in the college course viii. go
into effect. A year will oe added tc
the electrical, civil and mechanical
engineering courses, and graduates
therefrom will receive a degree. The
preparatory and sub-freshman courses
will be dispensed with and instead a
three year preparatory course will be
in effect. The addition of a year to
the preparatory course will of course,
raise the standard of the regular four
year course. Another change of some
note is the dividing of the college year
into semesters instead of three terms,
as has been the case for years. The
first semester will end about the 18th
of February, and the second semester
will begin at once without any vaca-
ton. The vacation will come at Christ

Ogherty VS. Austin Cal, % Pac.,
1892, 16 l.. R. A.
We also call attention to the case
People VS.. Atkinson, a California case
found in 81 Pac Gil. In this case, the
legislature attempted to confer power
upon the boards Of supervisors to fix
the compensation of constables in GER
tain counties. In that state the con-
stitution provides that the legislature
shall regulate the compensation of all
county officers in proportion to their
duties and the Supreme Court held
that any attempt on the part Of the
Legislature TO confer this power upon
any other body was unconstitutional
and absolutely void. In Minnesota the
constitution is to the same effect. In
that state an act was passed giving
the district court authority to deter
mine the salary to be paid to the
county attorney. The Act was held
constitutional on the sole ground that
the county attorney was quasi judic
ial officer of the court and hence did
not come within the constitutional pro-
vision. The court in their opinion
however, used the following language
guage.
This would be an exercise of leg.
islative power expressly inhibited by
the state constitution. 1t follows that,
if the office of county attorney stands
on the same footing as that of other
county or public officers. the statutory
enactment which permits the salary
attached thereto to be determined by
the district court must be declared un-
constitutional"

Of the society was manufactured for
the occasion. The red stripes were
made from an old scarf, and the white

blocking out the stars, which were left

he had ''unlaWfully received and re-
tanned as salary seems TO be more
and more firmly founded upon addition
al evidence and the opinion of leading
lawyers. States Attorney Eidem ask
ed for an opinion from Attorney Cen
eral Clark of Redfeld and below We
print the full text of Mr. Clark's an
swer to Mr.. Eidem's inquiry:
We have at hand your favor of the
18th inst. relative to the salary of
county auditor and provisions of the
Session Law S of 1905 relating thereto
You ask whether or not the last por-
ton OF the Act of 1905 is in conflict
with Sec. of Art of our state con.
stitution.
Chapter 152 of the Session Laws of
1905 provides that the salary of
county auditor shall not in any county
exceed $1,000 and makes a further pro-
vision as follows: That in counties
having population of $1,000 or more,
the county commissioners may in
their discretion allow salary not to
exceed $500 per anuum To the county
auditor only"
Sec. OF Art 3 Of the constitution
is as follows:
THE Legislature shall provide by
general law for such county, township
and district officers as may be deem
ed necessary and shall prescribe the
duties and compensation of all county,
township and district officers"
After going over the authorities
quite carefully and considering the
matter from the standpoint of the
reason for the provision Of the con
stitution just quoted, We cannot come
to any other conclusion than that the
law Of 1905 is in controvention of the
constitution in so far as it gives the
county commissioners discretion to
allow a salary not to exceed $500 in
certain counties. Justice Cooley has
said that one Of the settled maxims
in constitutional law is that the power
conferred upon the legislature to make
laws cannot be delegated by that de
partment to any other body or author
ity. In this matter, the constitution
has delegated and limited the power
of prescribing the compensation for
all county officers to the Legislature
and it would seem wholly incompeten,
for the legislature to attempt to give
the county commissioners any author
ity or discretion in the matter of fixin 2

HOOKED A BIG ONE

record catch in this neck o the woods
this year. He hooked one Tuesday

l0A pounds and which caused a
small sensation amohg those who saw
the fine Ash as the reverend gentle
man pulld ashore, althoug 1t Is
stated that in the early day pike even
larger have been hooked in Kampeska.
No modern" fisherman, however, has
caught a pike that matches DR..
