An act providing for supplemental salary to be paid to one or more circuit judges from county funds is a general rather than a local act, and section 106 of the Constitution has no application to it. Opinion of the Justices, 252 Ala. 543, 41 So.2d 907; State ex rel Montgomery v. Merrill, 218 Ala. 149, 117 So. 473; Stone v. State ex rel. Courtney, 233 Ala. 239, 171 So. 362; See Grayson v. Stone, 259 Ala. 320, 66 So.2d 438. The compensation of a circuit judge cannot be increased during his term of office.
The motion is denied. Appellants cite Sec. 152 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, which requires that the justices of the Supreme Court be elected by the qualified electors of the state; and the Opinion of the Justices, 252 Ala. 543, 41 So.2d 907, which expresses the opinion that constitutional judicial officers may be appointed only in the manner provided in the Constitution. We agree with the two authorities cited, but they are not decisive of the matter before us.
