Should the attorney general fail to attend, in person or by his assistant, any term of the supreme court, the court shall appoint some attorney to act for the state in place of the attorney general. The person so appointed shall receive such compensation as the court may allow, not exceeding one fourth of the annual salary of the attorney general, payable out of his salary; and, on production of the order of the court making said allowance, the auditor shall issue his warrant on the treasurer for the amount and shall charge the same to the account of the attorney general.
