COUNTY TREAsuRERs GIVEN
MINIMUM SALARY OF $1,000

Pierre. S. D.. July ia county treas
urer has a minimum salary Of $1,000
in the state now, and not 81. 200, as was
supposed. Two acts passed by the re-
cent legislature are in conflict. One OF
them. chapter 1873, prescribes thai the
minimum salary for a county treasurer
shall be $1,000, and the other. chapter
1S9. ~prescribes it shall be $1,000. This
alone would be a conflict, but after all
no conflict exists. because the part of
the n prescribing the $1,000 is un-
constitutional. due to the fact that the
title mentions it is n*ac prescribing
salaries Of county auditors, superin-
tendents and other officers duly named,
but the title fails to make any mem
ton OF the treasurer-and there is a
section in the act relating specifically
to Observation-Disclosures that section is
unconstitutional because it is broader
than the title Of the act,
