duties of his office; and no extra compensation of any kind
whatsoever shall be allowed said treasurer or be claimed
or received by him, directly or indirectly. If the treasurer,
or any clerk, agent or deputy shall violate this Section,

shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon con-

more than $500, for each and every offense, one-half there-
of to the school fund of said county. The said salary and
compensation so allowed shall not be retained by the treas-

the clerk by check, as other claims are paid. Provided,
that the change in the basis and amount of the compensa-
tion of the treasurer, as hereinbefore prescribed and lim-
ited, shall not become effective during the term of office
for which the incumbent was elected, but that during said
term, the compensation and basis thereof shall remain
under the present law.
