37-4-325. Witness fees and mileage. (1) Each witness who shall appear by order of the board or any member thereof shall be entitled to receive, if demanded, for his attendance the same fees and mileage allowed by law to a witness in civil cases in the district court, which amount shall be paid by the party at whose request such witness is subpoenaed unless otherwise ordered by the board. When any witness who has not been required to attend at the request of any party is subpoenaed by the board, his fees and mileage may be paid from the funds of the board in the same manner as other expenses of the board are paid.
     (2) Any witness subpoenaed, except one whose fees and mileage may be paid from the funds of the board, may at the time of service demand the fee to which he is entitled for travel to and from the place at which he is required to appear and 1 day's attendance. If such witness demands such fees at the time of service and they are not at that time paid or tendered, he shall not be required to attend before the board or a member thereof or referee as directed in the subpoena.
