plement to the code has cost the state
about $4,000 to date, and it is esti-
mated that about $4,000 more will
have to be expected before the work
will be completed. The state auditor
has already issued warrants to this
account to the amount of $44,6S9.S9,
and $4,000 additional is charged for
which warrants have not been drawn.
This money has been spent for labor
on the code and supplies.
The discharge of the code editor,
Charles S. Wilcox, and his refusal to
turn over to the state his index, as far
as he has completed it, necessitates
the compiling Of a new one. This has
been put in the hands of u. G. Whitney.
the supreme court reporter. The SUI
preme court expects to hold special
session in regard to the index, but it is
thought that Mr.. Whitney will be
given charge of the work. He esti-
mates the cost Of this index at $15,-
900, but some officials believe that this
is conservative estimate, and that
the figure will be much larger because
the index will be nearly as voluminous
as the code itself.
Employed Force Of Ten.
In April. 1913, Mr.. Wilcox began
work on the supplement with an office
force Of about ten girls. Their pay in-
creased IS per month until October.
when the executive council investi-
gated the matter. and promptly low
cred the scale. Wilcox received $4,000
for his work on the supplement and
its index, and like amount was
awarded him for indexng the supple
mental supplement of 1915. He has
only drawn about $500 of this last
amount.
The auditors books show that the
employees Of the code editor drew the
following amounts:

Of 1918, his work on the index for II.

plement Of 1915. AS a member OF the

plement and received $4,000. Several
members of the commission drew
travelling expenses for necessary trips
to Des Moines while the supplement
was being assembled.
Will Turn Over Data.
Charles Wilcox. state code editor.
who was discharged Wednesday. has
practically agreed to turn the incom-
pleted index to the code supplement
over to the state today.
Wilcox is reported to have prom
ised this in a conference with Attor-
ney General Cosson at the state house
yesterday.
When Chief Justice Deemer dis
charged Wilcox on Wednesday,. Will
cox refused to give up the filing cases
and cards. He dramatically declared
that no one would touch the property
except over his dead body.
The supreme court turned the mat
ter over to the attorney general, with
request that he take action to re-
cover the states property. The state
had paid for the cases and the cards
used in the work by Wilcox. Attorney
General Cosson called Mr.. Wilcox to
the state house yesterday afternoon to
talk the matter over.
Wilcox apparently has recovered
from his excited state and talked mildly
and without dramatic effect. Although
the attorney general refused to talk
about the interview, 1t is said that he
told Wilcox to turn over the property
at once or action in the courts would
be taken. It is reported that he pointed
out the weakness Of the position that
Wilcox has taken and that further
fight will make matters worse for him.
