Where the > investigation shows

Where the investigation shows
conditions where the attorney gen.
eral believes criminal prosecution
should be instituted, he has to ask
the county attorney to act. In many
instances the act the state inspec-
tors condemn has been done under
advice of the county attorney, such
for instance, as county commission
ers paying themselves money with
out first securing approval of their
accounts by the superior judge.
Situation Is Peculiar.
An example of the situation is
where a county attorney was also at
torney for a bank in which county
funds were deposited. The bank
paid no interest on the deposits,
made no bond as security. OF course
the county attorney refused to act,
or, at least, did not act, and the at
torney general under the law can do
nothing. In some Eastern Washing
ton counties, commissioners submit
ted bills for road inspection to the
superior court for approval as the
law requires. The court held they
were not proper charges and refused
approval. The commissioners then
calmly allowed the bills themselves,
and drew the money. Suit will be
brought by the attorney general in
the civil courts to recover the mon
ey, but there is no authority 20 per-
nit criminal prosecution.
The law says the attorney general
shall have supervisory powers over
county attorneys, but the language
is so ambiguous that the supreme
court has held he cannot force any
prosecutor to act, that the county
attorney is governed by his own dis
erection. A bill will be presented to
the next legislature making the at
torney general actual head of the
prosecuting force in all state mat
ters. and also giving him power in
dividually to file informations, APP
ply for writs of quo warranto, and
otherwise occupy on behalf of the
state rights and powers similar to
those now held and exercised by the
county attorneys in the counties.

WILL ASK FOR NEW
STATUTE
Unable to Prosecute County
Officials Whose Books
Show Shortage.

Olympia, Wash, Dec. 2s.-Unable
to prosecute county officials whose
official books show shortages, ac-
ccrding to the report of state ex-
aminers, Attorney General Bell will
ask the next legislature to amend
existing laws.
In fact, a general change in laws
will be asked which will make the
attorney general real prosecutor of
all state officers. Under present laws
the attorney general is powerless to
act in any other than civil proceed
ings.
No matter how serious the offense
brought to his attention, he cannot
file information in any court, that
power being exclusively vested in the
county attorney Nor can he bring
proceedings in quo warranto or 9TH
erwise to cancel the charters of COR
porations which are proceeding un-
lawfully.
Investigations by state examiners
under the new Bureau of inspection
and Supervision of Public Offices has
emphasized the need of change in
the law. This inspection law simply
provides that where malfeasance is
discovered and reported to the at
tcrney general, he shall take proper
proceedings in the civil courts to re-
cover for any shortages.
