ton secures Release by b
Corpus Proceedings.

After being in the charge of the sheriff
for an hour, E.. b. Branch, secretary Of the
Business Mems association, wa released
upon writ OF habeas corpus by Judge Lee
Estelle Saturday afternoon. Branch was
committed to Jail by Calvin C. Valentine,
notary public before whom dispositions
were being taken in the injunction case
against the Walters union.
Secretary Branch had been summoned
to appear before the notary and produce
the membership roll, the bylaws and con-
stitution Of the Business Mems associa-
ton, and while appearing himself had
failed to bring the documents. The Ques-
ton OF the power Of the notary to i'm

hapeas corpus. although the petition on
behalf Of the secretary set out that these
books and papers would be produced in

ment having been mad with Judge Estelle

behalf of the union, asked for an I'm
mediate hearing, which was granted. The
Judge held that the notary had no power
to compel the production OF books and
papers. and therefore could not punish for
the refusal OF persons to produce them.

Ambiguous wording Of the charter amend

the city hall concerning the expiration Of
the terms OF elective ~ofhcers, and the
beginning OF the oficial life of the oficers
recently chosen. The old charter made 1t
plain by stating the new terms com
meneed' on the third Monday after the
election. at which time the new council is
charter reads from" the third Monday,
still requiring the new council to meet and
Organise on this day. however.
City Attorney Connell and his elected
successor, C. c. Wright. are OF the opinion
that the terms OF the old officers do NOT
end until IL o'clock Monday night. Assist
ant Attorney Adams d~issents, however, and
points out that II this is true there will be
two city councils in existence during part
of Monday. Under the charter before It
was amended, It was held generally that
the new terms began Monday. the old terms
expiring at midnight Sunday.
So far as men elected are concerned the
question concerns them only so far as the
bonds are concerned. Councilman Hascall
has announced that there will be a meeting
OF the old council Monday morning TO
wind up matters" Whether any more des-
perate attempts to work through the re-
districting scheme are contemplated is not
known. 1t is reported that Hascaii and
his followers have originated a theory that
the council alone has the right to change
the ward lines OF the city and that the
mayors concurrence or veto is not neces-
sary, and that with this pretended under
standing the ordinance will be amended
and read the third time n passed, pro-
vidins. of course, the required number OF

Taxpayers who saw in the estimated levy
OF next year an increase In the county taxes
of $255.0O0 in round numbers became alarmed
and asked why the increase should be made
at this time and why there should be any
such increase. In explanation OF the mat
ter Commissioner O'Keeffe said:
W. made this estimate in January while
the state legislature was In session. There
were a number Of bills pending for an
equalization Of the taxes between the in
dividual taxpayers OF the state and rail-
roads. We also had hope that the State
Board OF Equalization would take action in
the matter, and at that time we felt almost
sure that the assessed valuation OF Doug
las county would be greatly increased by
the action OF ore or the other or both Of
the bodies which have power over the rail-
road assessment. Douglas county is In
debt. and It is the desire OF all good ON
cia.s Of the county to see that debt wiped
out. We believed hat with this increase
in the assessed valuation, which would ba
secured by adding TO the tax rolls a lot OF
property which has escaped taxation in the
past, we could pay the debts of the county
without increasing the rate OF levy much
above that which had prevailed for several
years. Now that we have secured no re-
lief from either OF the sources from which
we expected IT, the estimates will have 70

to something near those OF last year"
