There is a bill in the legislature pro
viding for biennial elections. If it be
I comes a law all present county officers
will hold over another year. It is
estimated the saving to counties the
-ize of Sherman will be §500.
Representative Smelser had the pleas
ure of seeing his pet road bill pass its
last gauntlet, the governor’s signature
attacned and become a state law.
Townships cm not vote a levy for
road purposes of 10 mills, which will
give an opportunity to build roads. Mr,
Smelser has worked hard to have tin?
law passed and deserves considerable
credit for the effort.
A tew w teks since Tiie North w est
ern called attention to a legislative gratt
of §3 per day given the speaker ot the
house and president pro tem of the
senate, as presiding officers of those
houses. Claiming it to be uuconstitu
tional. Marked copies of the pafer
were sent to ^speaker Rouse. President
Pro Tem Jennings, various senators,
representatives, and to numerous em
ploy e-* of both houses. Toe matter wa
brought to the attention of .Mate Aud
itor Searle. who a-ked Attorney Gen ;
eral Brown for a decision. The attor-1
ney general promptly decided it to lie j
unconstitutional ;«nd Auditor Searle j
thereupon d dined to pay the warrants,
and a saving t** the state each s-s-ion
oi the legislature of an itt-m approxi
mating §40o is thereby assured. Upon
nearing of the attorney general's deci
sion. W . H Harrison of Grand 1st tr d.
who two years ago was president pro)
tem of the senate, w rote the attorney
general enclosing a draft for §2i9 re j
ceived by him as presiding officer of the j
senate at that time, thus making a sav
ing to the ^ate of §oo0 But the funny
side to Harrison’s letter is his expres
sion of mortification that he wno h*s
been such a strenuous opposer of
all sorts of legislative gratis should
himself be guilty. The humorous p -rt j
lies in the fact that the w riter of this,
at that time an employe of the senate,
went to S ate Auditor Weston in per
son and interposed objections to Harri
son receiving hi» last twenty days’ pay
as presiding officer pro tem over the
sen t- as clearly unconstitutional.
* hereat Mr. Harrison was very wrothy
at such unbecoming conduct from one
of the hireling employes and his lan
guage was exceedingly vigorous. But I
it is really nice of him to pay it back, j
even at this late day. Now if ex-Spe k ,
er Willie G. Sears, and the other eleven
ex-speakers and ex-presidents of the
legislatures for the past twelve years
c*n be persuaded to follow the excellent
example of ex-President Pro Tem Ha -
rison the d*>xologv may be sung, the
subject dismissed and the state l>e rich
