DEFENSE CLOSES ARGUMENT
Harrinans Attorneys Want The
Other Railroads Investigated

WASHINGTON. D. c.. April o.
Attorney Milburne today concluded the
argument in favor of Hartman be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission maintaining the acquisition Of
the Southern Pacific by the Union Pa
citc was not a violation of the Sher-
man act indicating the defense if tho
government institutes suit upon the
basis of the commissions findings.
Milburne made a plea for fair
play and said: Before your report
Is submitted inquire into the Pennsyl-
vania-N Vanderbilt lines, the Northern
Pacific. Rock Island and Great North
trn. They are all parallel and COM
peting lines. Where and when was
the Sherman law passed? we
have been going on the same under
a commission for years. Let this
body consider the peoples questions
calmly, paying no attention to the
politicians. Don't pick one victim.
Treat us all alike"
Attorney Severance for the govern
ment endeavored to show the Sherman
law was violated; that the Union Pa
cltic controlled the Illinois Central; that
both the Southern and Union Pacific
got into Portland and competed for
Trade to that point.

Question Hits City Clerk In the Face as to Whether or Not Those
Who Run Tor Office This Spring are to Proceed
Under New Law Requiring Declarations

Will candidates for city offices ir
Walla Walla be forced to declare them
selves and run the gauntlet Of a pri-
mary as well as the regular election
early in July?
The question whether Walla Walla's
coming city election will come under
the new primary law has arisen and
City Clerk Hart sent this morning to
the secretary of state for an official
copy of the new act.
If the act applies to Walla Walla un-
der it's special charter the wouldbe
mayor, wOuldbe marshal and all the
other wOuldbes will have to come out
from under cover before May 81 and
file their names as candidates for the
office.
According to the Interpretation of the
law made by some they will also have
to state whether they are a republican,
democrat, prohibitiOnist. or socialist.
According to the reading of the law
it seems to be plain that Walla Walla
would come under it's provisions. Sec

Attorney General viii Not Pas;
On Salary Raises

OLYMPIA, April 5.-In order that
the courts of the state may have an
opportunity to pass squarely upon the.
question of the right of state officials
and employees to share in the salary
advances made by the last legislature.
Attorney General Atkinson will prob
ably not give State kr,.;te. CLAUS
en- an official opinion on Vle stand taken
by him against such payments. The re-
suit will be that the state auditor will
refuse to audit the vouchers for in
creased salaries and the interested Off
cials may then bring mandamus pro-
ceedings and have the case determined.
Attorney General Atkinson has in
formally advised the auditor that n
casual investigation of the decisions of
the court of states wherein the same
question has been passed upon, espe-
cially cases where the line was drawn
between officials and employees of the
state, shows many states having con-
stitutiOnal provisions similar to that
of Washington have held that appoint
i've officers are state officials. The
attorney general believes that the
Washington state courts have not suffi
ciently passed upon the question as to
remove the doubt and he therefore fav-
ors taking the matter into court.
Auditor Clausen in a letter to the at
torney general, made the following re-
quest:
"The last legislature made raises In
salaries of the following officers:
First-In an elective state office.
to-wit, commissioner of public lands.
"Second-In appointive offices for
fixed terms ,to-wit, members of the
board of control and others.
"Third-In the matter of employees
who are not appointed for any fixed
term ,to-wit, deputy superintendent OF
public instruction and others.
"Will you kindly advise me- whether
the above acts are constitutional or
not and if / am justified in auditing
and allowing said increased salaries.
