MIR. DASH TO FILE BRIEF

Justice Gould in Equity Court No. to-
day denied the petition Of the District
Commissioners for the dismissal OF the
application of the Washington Gas Light
Company for an ascertainrnent by the
court of the cash value of its plant. AT
the request of Corporation Counsel Thorn
as the court allowed him until next Sat
urday In which to file the formal answer
of the Commissioners to the application.
In refusing to dismiss the application
Justice Gould said he saw nothing I'M
constitutional or homogeneous in the act
of June 8, 1896. He was OF opinion, he
said, that it is fitting that such power
should be intrusted to the courts, and he
knew Of no other body to which such
power may more properly be delegated.
Counsel for the gas company referred
to the fact that in the past Congress
had frequently authorized the judiciary
to ascertain the cost Of extension ana
additional stock to be issued by railroad
companies. and referred to the seibold
case, In 100 United States. 81, where
Congress lad vested In the Circuit court
the power of supervision of elections
They claimed Congress had the right to
ask the court to conduct the present
proceedings, and there was nothing I'M
constitutional in the delegation Of such
nover tn the judiciary.

from the same source. The an.
mud average o. Democratic state
treasurers has been SIC, 600.
while the average Of Gmelich,
with one month to hear from, is
.S78,o 900. In eleven Of the years
in the Democratic period the re-
ceipts from interest were less
than $4,000 q year, and the high.
est Democratic year was under
$4,000. after the examination Of
the state books became an issue.
Democratic politicians in the
state have been trying to break
the force Of these figures, but in
vain. They say Mr.. Gmelich
has been getting a higher rate,
forgetting that the general in
terest rate in the last three
years has been lower than the
average Of the preceding twenty.
seven. The increased rate is a
part Of Mr.. Gmelich's achieve
ment.
Another Democratic plea is
that within three years the state
treasury received s475 900 from
the national government in pay
ment of war claims. But Dem
ocratic treasurer held $500. 600 OF
the worlds fair appropriation
for a longer period. The Gmel-
ich average of $4,000 a year
stands like a stone wall compar-
ed with the $4,000 average of
bis Democratic predecessors.
judgement on this point might
as well be confessed by the Dem
ocrats Of Missouri. They are in
a hole on the payment of interest
on state deposits. If Mr.. Gmel-
ich could run again the taxpay
ers Of Missouri would be unani-
nous for him, unless they prefer
to have in their pockets SIG, 900 a
year instead Of $40, 900. Under
the laws a state treasurer can.
not be reelected. Consequently
the logical thing is to choose an.
other Republican treasurer. The
suggestion holds good as to At
torney General Hadley, Score
tary of State Swanger, Auditor
Wilder, and Lieut.. Gov. McKin
ley, and no cog should be slipped
next time on the governorship OF
legislature. Make it a clear
sweep in the state in 1905. L

Democrats to try to get rid o
