LAW OR LEGISLATURE! Salary dispute to be tested in court
In a forthcoming district court action G O Clemens seeks a writ to compel State Auditor Morris to issue warrants for his full salary of 2000 per year. The legislature set 1890 per year, or 166 monthly, and Morris contends Clemens is entitled to 1,000 per year less than the statute. The case affects about a dozen state house employees and hinges on a prior Tenth Ka decision. Judge Hazen will rule on monthly entitlement versus legislative appropriation.
