salaries.

their deputies from engaging in the private practice of law

county and prosecuting attorney from completing all civil cases
not in conflict with the interests of the county or counties, in
which he is counsel and pending in court before he takes office.
(c) The county attorney shall not receive any fee from or
prosecute or defend any individual or corporation in any civil
or criminal suit or proceeding at law in which this state or his
county or counties may be a party.
