COURT DECISION
NOT ANTICIPATED
BY LEGISLATURE
Commissioners Had Power Un-
der the Old Law, but They
Lose It Under New.

Bookings, S. D., May 31.-When this
supreme court this week decided favor
ably to the county auditor the suit
brought by the states attorney OF this
county to test the power OF the leg
islature to authorize the county COM
missioners to fix the alaries Of u
ty officials, the court upset the calcula-
tions of the recent legislature. For, be-
cause it was anticipated that the court
would hold the law unconstitutional,
the Legislature went through a great
deal of rduou labor to fix a schedule
for the salaries to be paid the states
attorneys and county auditors all over
ton requires the Legislature to fix the
compensation of county officials. The
North Dakota constitution does like
wise and the supreme court OF that
state held unconStitutional an act en-
towering tie county commissioners to
%stipulate salaries for other county OFF,
Gals, on the ground that 1t was a dele
cation of legislative authority. When
the last legislature met at Pierre, the
same question was before the South
Dakota supreme court and the lawyers
generally, including the attorney gem
ern!. expected the court to declare the
law unconstitutional. Consequently a
bill was drafted graduating the salaries
of county attorneys according to pop
according to assessed valuation of
county property. Now the supreme
court, with Whiting dissenting, holds
the old law constitutional, declaring
fatty that it was not a delegation or
legislative authority. However, the
new law is considered by many as an
improvement, as it takes from the
county commissioners a power which
1t is alleged they nave used to influence
states ATTORNEYS.
