Syllabus

<p>Constitutional Law—Compensation of Justices and Constables. Act of March 28, 1895 (Stats. 1895, p. 267), “to establish the fees of county, township and other officers,” etc., in so far as it attempts to give the district attorney a supervisory control over fees of justices and constables in criminal eases, by providing that the boards of supervisors may reject all their bids in criminal cases in which he has not, in writing, approved the issuance of the warrant of arrest, conflicts with constitution, article 1, section 11, requiring all laws of a general nature to have a uniform operation. It is also' in conflict with constitution, article 11, section 5, providing that the legislature shall regulate the compensation of county and township officers in proportion to the duties they perform.</p>
