May Be UNABLE
TO Grant RAISE
!: OF SALARIES
Senator Hammond Thinks In
crease for County Officials
Would Be Illegal Under
Constitution of State.
(From a Staff cOrrespondent.)

Lincoln, Feb. 1l.-County and To-
cal officials in Nebraska, many of
whom have been granted salary in
creases in bills which have passed
one or both houses of the legisla-
ture, may find legal obstacles in the
path.
Senator ]. w. Hammond, chair
man of the senate committee on fees
and salaries, is preparing to raise
the question of the constitutional
provision in Article 2, Section 10, of
the Nebraska state constitution
which reads:
Nor shall the compensation of
any public official be increased or
diminished during their term of Of
fee"
1t is the opinion of Senator Ham
mond, and his views are also shared
by several members of the upper
branch, that this section presents a
hurdle to salary increases, which
cannot be cleared. Hammond is
prepared to amend the next bill be-
fore the senate providing for a
salary increase for elective officials
to incorporate the restriction that it
shall not be effective during the
term of the present incumbent. That
is the restriction contained in Sec
ltion 10. Senator Hammond figures
that the issue will thus be presented
squarely and the supreme court will
have an opportunity to rule upon it.
SherifFs' Salary Boost.
The bill providing for an increase
of pay for Nebraska sheriffs is al
ready safely by the house and a
similar measure providing addition
al compensation for deputy county
assessors. The assessors measure
was in the senate committee of the
whole this morning, but Hammond
did not have an opportunity to pre-
sent his amendment.
If Hammond succeeds in making
his point stick, then the officials
elected last November will not get
any relief from the high cost of liv-
ing. In two years, it is pointed out,
the prices of foodstuffs and other
necessities will have declined so
that any salary boosts should come
Immediately.
