OPINION ON NEWLAW
Assistant Attorney Gener-
al Renders Opinion.
Must File Candi-
dacy Within
go Days.

OLYMPIA, March 27.-The new primary
law was the subject of the following
opinion rendered by Assistant Attorney
General A. J. Falknor to Sam II. Mich
ole, secretary OF state:
"The attorney general acknowledges
receipt OF your communication reading
as follows:
"'The primary law rectes that the
names Of no candidates shall be printed
upon the official ballot used at any pri.
mary election unless at least thirty days
and not more than sixty days prior to
such primary election, a declaration Of
candidacy shall have been filed by him.
Taking this statement in connection
with the balance OF the law, when may
declarations OF candidacy be received by
me and if declarations come in prior to
such time, what shall do with them p
"Secton 1 OF the act referred to, con-
tains the following provision:
"'The name of no candidate shall be
printed upon an official ballot used at
any primary election unless at least
thirty (3O) and not more than sixty (60>
days prior to such primary declaration
OF candidacy shall have been filed.by
him.
"section contains the following pro.
vision:
"'At least thirty (30) days before the
primary election day any person who
shall be eligible. who shall desire to be
come candidate for any office, subject
to this act, shall file in the proper office
declaration Of candidacy accompanied
by the fee provided in this act, which
lee shall be as follows:'
"1t is an elementary rule Of statutory
construction that all parts of a statute
must be given effect if possible. Section
4, In the plainest language, prohibits the
printing on the official ballot of the name
of any candidate who has filed his
declaration of candidacy more than sixty
days prior to the primary, and we think
that the quotation from Section 5 must
be construed in the light of this restric.
ton, and you are therefore advised that
you would have no authority to receive,
file Or retain any declaration of candi.
dacy rendered to you for filing more than
sixty days prior to any primary. And in
any case you receive any, it will be your
duty to return the same to the person
submitting it,"

GOVERNMENT ownership.
Attitude of Hartman Doing More to
Dignity Government Ownership
OF Railroads Than All the Utter.
anCeS and Writings of William
Jennings Bryan.

Inc testimony OF E. II. Hartman be-
lore the interstate commission has prob
ably done more to dignity the issue of
government ownership OF railroads raised
by W. j. Bryan, than any other one
thing that could have happened. The
public was inclined to treat Mr.. Brvan's
remarks on his return to this country as
further evidence that the democratic
leader was too shallow to be trusted with
the presidency. Ii was put down. along
with his radicalism on the money unes
ton, as Indicating a mind economically
unsound, and Mr.. Bryan lost prestige
very rapidly. The public. in jumping so
hard upon Mr.. Bryan, had evidently
overlooked the fact that he had Just come
from tour Of Europe, where the yerv
system OF railroad management which
he advocated is in practice. In Germany
the imperial government owns and
operates number OF through lines,
while the different states own manv
connecting branch lines. Government
ownership OF railroads is spreading in
Europe. 1t prevails in Austria, where
the zone system of tariffs has also OBJ
tanned vogue. Russia has built and is
operating her own railroad lines. 1t is
true the government in these countries
is military in character and the owner.
ship OF railroads was first thought of in
connection with the national defense.
However, that was merely an incident.
The governments, having taken over the
railroads, were under the necessity OF
making them pay. Mr.. Bryan observed
these things in Europe, and while he was
not the first man who had done so, he
was the first political leader who at.
tempted to transplant the idea and set it
before the American people as an issue.
1t would have remained chimera of the
Nebraska system of political economy
without Hartman. but plus Hartman it
is discussed with soberness. Coupled
with the disconcerting testimony OF Har-
riman comes the complaint of G. s. Mel
len, railroad president, that the new rate
law is punitive rather than protective.
Between the two one begins to see dimly
that the railroad question is far from
settled. If the railroad presidents are
content neither to use the new law nor
to depart from the old practice, the
remedy must be more and more drastic
law, or the wiping out OF private owner.
ship. What the railroad men do not
appear to be able to see is that the peo.
pie. having put their hand to the plow,
will not turn back. They will give pri-
vate ownership a fair trial, but no rail-
road president need imagine for mo-
ment that the people would not as soon
20 forward to the unknown perils of gov
ernment ownership as back to the hu-
miliations of the private ownership of
the past, to.wit: the very kind about
which Mr.. Hartman testifies with such
hardihood. Minneapolis Journal (Rep.)
