Effort to Garry it to Supreme Court

That the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Simpson on the Elweil law will
state that the limited amount OF state
funds available for the purpose will
render it practically imperative for
such an enterprise of road building as
that proposed by the Northern Min
nesota Development league, whether
the bill is constitutional or not, is
said by Assistant Attorney General
Lyndon A. Smith, who is Investigate
ing the legality of the bill for the
department.
That the opinion consequently will
point out that the only recourse open
to the State Highway commission and
others interested in promoting the
good roads movement in the state is
to induce the Legislature to author
ize a specific levy to carry out the in
tention of the law, also was asserted

Spark Arrester Case.

"This complaint fails to allege con-
shutting a public offense. The only
statutory offenses which the COM
plant approaches are those defined
by paragraphs l and 3 of section
2O37, chapter 1873, laws of 1909.
Paragraph 1 requires every company
operating a railroad to use upon
each locomotive engine good and
efficient spark arrester. 1t is plain
that this complaint does not allege
the violation of this requirement.
1T is also plain that the complaint
can not be held good under para
graph 3 for the obvious reason,
among others, that it contains no al
legation that the fire was emitted in
the immediate vicinity of wood land
Or lands liable to be over run by fire.
las there is a palpable failure to
allege any offenses defined by stat
ute, it is unnecessary to determine
whether the statute is void for in
definiteness.'

Negative Not Strong.

This prosecution is brought under
paragraph 2, section 2037, chapter
1872, laws Of 1909. The only question
presented which gives rise to any
doubt is whether the exception con-
tanned in the statute is sufficiently
negative by the complaint. While
the complaint would have been i'm
proved by more express negative of
the exception | think it is sufficient"
The section cited by the court
reads:
Every such (railroad) company
shall keep its right of way clear of
combustible materials except ties and
other materials necessary for the
maintenance and operation of teh
road from April Is to December L.
In the spark arrester cases the
same point was raised by the rail-
roads that the complaint did not
"cite facts constituting a public Of
fense." In reversing the jutsice
court Judge Stanton says:

Will Sidestep Constitutionality.

By rendering an opinion to this eff
feet, Attorney General Simpson will
sidestep the necessity of pronouncing
upon the actual question of the con-
stitutionality of the law, under which
the state bears half of the expense Of
constructing new roads, and the coun-
ty and AUDITING property owners the
other half.
That the attorney generals depart
ment is somewhat divided on the
question of the laws legality is
known, as is also the fact that the
Attorney General himself would rath-
er not give an opinion on it. Con-
sequently an attempt on his part to
cloud this feature with an opinion
that the bill is rendered practically
imperative because of the lack of
available state funds will not come
unexpected.

Other Points Involved.

This financial question is not the
only one raised in regard to the
BILL Mr.. Smith said yesterday.
There is also a question whether it
is pork barrel legislation, and an
other whether property owners can
legally be made to bear part of the
expense of a general Improvement.
'There is also doubt whether the
counties could bear any part Of the
expense, because there is a law that
says that they can use only their
surplus funds, that is, the amount
left over after current expenses have
been paid out of the tax collections"
he continued. Every few counties in
the northern part of the state have
money enough for the purpose, under
this law

Troppman Pays Fine.

Mr.. Troppman paid the fine, ex-
planning that he did so rather than
to go to the expense of taking the
case to a higher court, maintaining,
however, that he had not violated the
law.
For several days Mr.. Troppman has
been conducting what he terms a
Dutch" auction at his store. He
plans on repairing his building at
cost of about $4,000 and decided on
the auction feature in an effort to
reduce his stock quickly.

Upholds Justice in This One.

In the combustible material case,
quoting from the District Court de-
cision, 1T appears that the defend
ant objected to the introduction of
any evidence On the part of the state,
for the reason that the complaint
fails to allege facts constituting a
public offense. This objection was
overruled by the justice of the peace.
This appeal, therefore, presents
this question for review and after
careful consideration =
1t is ordered that the Judgment
of the justice of the peace herein be
and the same is hereby affirmed and
that judgment be entered herein &C
cordingly.'

Originated in Baudette District Last
Summer, Spark Arresters Statute
Being Used.
DRY SEASON SECTION TESTED
Judge Resorts to Dictionary and De.
cides Point at Issue is to Be
Sustained.

Precedents important to all tim
bered sections of Northern MinnesO-
ia are established in seven decisions
handed down in district court here
by Judge C. w. Stanton, involving
the right of the state to compel rail-
road companies to maintain proper
spark arresters on locomotives and to
assist in preventing and putting out
fires along their rights of way dur
ing summer seasons.
The cases were first tried by the
state against the Canadian Northern
railroad company, originating in the
vicinity of Baudette and Spooner
during the months of July and Aug
ust of last year and being taken be-
fore justice courts. The cases were
appealed to the district court and
Judge Stanton now affirms four Of
the cases and reverses the other
three. The attorneys in the case
were C. R. Middleton of Baudette for
the state and Alexander Fosward of
Warroad for the railroad company.

Has Sold Many Goods

For several days his store has been
crowded and Mr.. Troppman declares
that not less than $4,000 worth of
merchandise has gone over his
counters during this time into the
hands of consumers.
The "Dutch' auction differs from
regular auction in that no bids are
asked. The person who is selling the
goods picks up an article-a bolt of
silk for instance-and names price
for which a yard will be sold. Thus:
How the Plan Works.
"Who will give me So a yard for
this silk. No one wants it at So;
will you give me $3.50, ST. and the
salesman keeps on going down until
he hits a level where some spectator
admits he will pay the sum men
toned, and the goods are turned ov-
er.
Mr.. Troppman insists this is no
infraction on the auction sales re-
quiring a license.
Resumes His Sales.
So sure is he of his position that he
proceeded directly from the court
room after paying his fine to the
store where he proceeded with an
other "dutch'' auction sale as if moth
ing had happened. He is conducting
the sales as usual today and declares
that they will continue for several
days to come. -
