State v. Kirk, 44 Ind. 401.
Offices are "lucrative'' to which pay, supposed to be an adequate compensation, is affixed for the performance of the duties. The offices of county recorder and county commissioner are lucrative, witliin the meaning of a constitutional provision that two lucrative offices shall not be held by the same person at the same time. Hence a county recorder, by accepting the office of county commissioner, vacates that of recorder.
