Smoot Brimhall, Objects the youngest participant in the meet, County -- -- ss?S5w" 20-year-- The Hon. G. A. Iverson, acting judge, in the Fourth district court, has handed dowh a decision in the case of Ben E. Argyle, plaintiff, vs. Clarence L. Wright, as county auditor of Utah county, in favor of the defendant. The case is one that has created much interest among the county officials as well as among the taxpayers of the county, who are congratulating County Attorney Milan Straw upon his success in the case. It went before the court upon application of Mr. Argyle, the plaintiff, for a writ of mandate against the auditor of Utah county, to compel him to draw his warrant upon the county treasurer for $1000 claimed by the plaintiff as salary is county surveyor of Utah county for the year 1920. The plaintiff was elected county surveyor for the term covering the years 1919 and 1920. He was paid the regular salary for the year 1919, but the county auditor, under the direction' of the county commissioners of Utah county, refused to issue his warrant for salary covering the year 1920, on the grounds that the office of county surveyor was abandoned by Mr. Argyle, who is reported to have told the county commissioners that he could not maintain an office, nor perform the duties of the county surveyor on the salary prescribed by law. While the plaintiffs statutory qualifications were among the issues raised in the pleadings, the principal issue was in the failure of Mr. Argyle to function as county surveyor during the year 19 20, and the decision points to the fact that the commissioners were warranted in. the conclusion that he had impliedly resigned or had abandoned the office. In this connection the court holds that one who refuses to perform the duties of his office cannot assert a There is no right to compensation. basis for such compensation, the court concludes, and while it is true that a salary is incident to the office, it is based upon the reciprocal duty of the officer to perform service. This decision .in effect holds and decides that Utah county is not liable for any compensation for Mr. Argyle for the year 1920, the court having found substantially that the plaintiff had abandoned his office and ceased to function during that period.
