form the brush. which is the valuable
portion of the plant.
Broom corn growing now Is and will
always remain small industry be-
cause the demand for the brush is not
only limited, but small. This crop,

MAY LOSE HIS SALARY
Pay of Assistant Attorney General
Held Up by Lawsuit.

Alleging that an act of the legisla-
ture of 1909 appropriating $4,000 sal
airy for an assistant attorney general
is invalid because It is in violation
OF the constitution, Daniel E. Powers,
a Portland attorney has filed suit In
the circuit court in which he asks to
have Secretary of State r. w. Benson
and State Treasurer George A. Steel
restrained from paying the assistant
attorney general his salary. The office
is at present held by /. II. Van Wrinkle,
assembly candidate for Judge of the
circuit court for the Third District.
Powers alleges that two sections of
the constitution were violated by the
legislature when IT appropriated "A sal
airy for an assistant attorney general
The act, which is chapter 81 of the
1903 session laws, according 10 Pow
ers' complaint, violates the constitu |
ton In one Instance because IL attempts
TO make appropriations for salaries of
public officers and other current ex-
penses of the state and also contains
provisions upon other subjects which
Is In express violation of section of
article TX OF the constitution.
The complaint further sets forth
that the act is in violation of the con-
stitution because section 90 OF article
Nv provides that Every act shall en-
brace but one subject and matters
properly connected Herewith. which
subject shall be expressed In the title. /
