Morrison Waite

“ There is nothing in the constitution or laws of Kansas which requires a township treasurer to be a resident of or voter in the township when elected or qualified; neither is there anything which vacates the office if the officer removes from the township during the term for which he was elected. ”

“ Comp. Laws, 311,) that 'ceasing to be an inhabitant of the county for which he was elected or appointed' vacates the office of a county officer. Undoubtedly the removal of a township treasurer from a township may, under some circumstances, vacate his office and authorize the county commissioners to fill the place,-section 12, (1978,) Dass. Comp. Laws, 978;-but we think it does not necessarily vacate the office under all circumstances. In the present case the question is whether moving 'across the line' into an adjoining township of itself has that effect. ”

“ The motion to set aside the service was therefore properly overruled, and the judgment is affirmed.
