ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL
 SOON BECOME ORNAMENT

In recent years, the attorney &eneIai has been made a figurehead. In the future. t will occur that only young lawyers, in need of advertisement and two or three thousand dollars year, win offer for the office. It has never been an office of profit. Inasmuch as it has become the custom to employ special counsel at exorbitant cost when ever litigation other than an ordinary or routine matter arises, the office will soon become one without especial honor.
 During the administration of Gov ernor Conner, Alex M. Garber was at torney general. He had one assistant. At the present time. Robert c. Brickell is attorney general He has two assist ants
 During the administration of Gov ernor Conner, the attorney general was not the leading counsel in the railroad rate litigation Samuel D. Weakley and 1T. C. Selheimer were. Col. Sam Will John was employed to prosecute cases in Jefferson county based on alleged violations of the prohibition laws. He was also employed to recover certain school lands As can be seen from the table hereinafter to be published, oth- CT attorneys were employed whenever litigation of special nature arose.
 Governor O'Neal, In the beginning or his administration, received advice not only from the attorney general but from Ed deGraffenreid, now a member of the supreme court. Later, his ad- wiser became R. B. Evins of Greens boro. To prosecute cases of criminal nature originating in Jefferson county, Borden Burr was employed. Other mat ,ers have beeen handled by Stallings & Drennen and Allen & Bell. Tt the pres ent time. in the tax cases. the state is represented in Jefferson county by Jesse F Stalings and Frank S. White.

The governor later attended a banquet of the Democratic Association of French and Canadians of Greater New York.
 q have no prediction to make about Canada" said the governor, except this very delightful prediction that Canada and the United States will more and more thoroughly understand one another and like one another as the years go by. We have common ideals, we have common hope, we have common views and for the time being Canada has a better banking and currency system than the United States
 The governor praised "the political wis dom and economic foresight of those who guide the affairs of Canada so that we are on basis of mutual and general respect for one another.''

LEGISLATION MADE THE
 BIG EXPENDITURE POSSIBLE


 The governor is authorized to employ special counsel whenever special coun- sel Is deemed necessary.
 In the beginning of his administra- ton ex Governor Conner remuerated his advisers out of the contingent fund, and later, when it was seen that more money would be necessary than that fund made possible to be obtained a railroad rate bill was put through the cluded section upi 9o which the chief executive found IF '' Eple to employ and remunerate sps l.counsel. Gov ernor ONeal. who in addition to his special advisers. was compelled to car ry on for a limited period certain con tracts with lawyers made by ex-Gov- ernor Conner. also found it necessary to obtain aid through a legislative enact- ment. This enactment found expression in the amendment of the code of 1so7 the section amended having been No 661. Ex-Governor Corners legislative assistance came through section No. 52 of rate act which eventually became section No. 572s of the code of 1907.
 And in these two actions of the leg, isIature is to be found the predicate for the enormous sum of money which the state in an administration and n half has paid to counsel, despite the
 
 istence of attorney generals with their strings of assistants
 FIGURES IN DETAIL
 In the statement which is to follow. in case there Is desire to know under whose administration each of the items was paid, 1t should be borne in mind that ex-Governor Conner entered upon his duties as chief executive January 14. 1907. and that Governor O'Neal be- gan his tern January IT, 1911.
 Included in the statement are figures which show the cost of the railroad rate litigation, that is the partial cost of that litigation, partial because the expense to the state of the extraordi- nary session of the Conner legislature is not included.
