asked leave of the court to Withdraw
his demurrer to the information, befor,
the court acted upon it, and to file al
answer to the information. Attorne!
Neill B. Field, representing the relator
Mr.. SandOval. filed demurrer to tn
answer. Mr.. Field then took up tn,
demurrer and opening arguments. II
this Mr.. Childers replied, giving au
thorities from various statutes, tha
covered cases similar to the case Il
hand
At the afternoon session of cour
the case was resumed and all the ar
guments of the case on both sides were
submitted before court adjourned.
Attorney Field in his demurrer to the
answer contended that the Office oi
assessor of a county as we'll as. any
public office was property, and that
the legislature was not vested with the
power to remove an officeholder from
Office since it conflicted with the consti-
tuition Of the United States.
| Attorney Childers argued that an Of
| flee such as the one in question was
not property, and that the legislative
assembly was not conflicting with the
constitution of the United States, but
| that the said officer was nothing more
than an agent for the people, and that
| the same power that placed him in Of
flee had the power or authority to re-
move him.
The principal issue involved in the
case Of SandovaT against Albright, Is
whether or not the legislature had the
power or authority to remove.
After the attorneys had submitted all
their arguments the court asked for
memoranda of the various authorities
they cited and the case was taken un-
der advisement.
