In consequence of this opinion, It
is held by the attorney general that
members of the boards cannot law
fully charge and collect daily salaries
and expenses for other services not
covered by the state statutes, and
that collection for such services would
constitute collection of illegal fees
for which members may be removed
from office"
The ruling prohibits commissioners
from collecting expenses or salaries
for making inspection of an estab-
lished, opened and travelled highway,
which is in need of repairs, for the
purpose Of a-scertaining and determin-
ing what repairs should be made
The opinion further prohibits pay
ments to members for making in
spectiOns of highways on which wOrI
is being done by day labor and mo-
under contract.
Attorney General Foot also holds
that a board Of commissioners is pro
hibited from dividing a county int,
districts, and assigning one commits
siOner to each district to take charg,
of and superintend all work on tn
highway.
"This opinion" states Mr.. Larsol
IN his communication, "is Of vital i'm
pOrtance to you and affects practical
ly every county in the state, and pre-
hibits the practice Of commissioner
inspecting other roads than those an
der construction or a proposed high
way or highways.
"In view Of the opinion, you hav
recourse to a plan for districting you
county into read districts, appOintin
road supervisors under your imBtTu'
ton and placing them under a bon
sufficient for faithful performance
their duty"

FOR PRESIDENCY

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Although
the presidential election is more than
two years and a half a way, and there
is a senatorial and congressional
election intervening, Democratic poll
ticians are already beginning to talk
about the leader who will carry the
banner fer the party in 1928. Up to

said to have the bee seriously, are
being talked about in national pOliti-
cal circles. They are Governor Al
Smith of New York, William G. Nc
AdOo, now Of California; Governor
Donahey of Ohio, and Governor
Richie Of Maryland.
While Governor AL Smith has an
nounced that he viii retire from pol
tiles, his friends take this to mean
state, and net national politics. They
are certain he viii be a candidate for
president in 1928 and profess to be-
lieve that he has a fine chance tC
land the nomination. McAdoo. Oh
course, has been a candidate for the
1923 nomination since the close Of
the 1924 cOnvention-at least hi
friends have been active for him.
Governor Richie was also a can
didate in the 1924 convention and 90
the votes of his home state consist
emily. He has become an ardent ad
vocate Of states rights and homes t.
get delegates from the states whicl
agree with him in this particular.
The fourth candidate mentioned
Governor Donahey, has d~evelope
since the 1924 convention. It IS ex
e pected that he win run for Governo
of Ohio again, and that if successful
