Board of EQUALIZATION.

general is a member of the state board
Of equalization. TO which. under Sec.
1884 r. c. 1908 and Oh. e16, S. l..

graph. telephone and other public util-
ity corporations. O.
The inconguity and improperly that
the attorney general should sit on this
board and at the same time receive
pay from such corporations under the
guisc of Il private attorney is apparent
and manifest.
Attorney for Railroad Commissioners.
Under Secs. $40. 434s; 1878 and
1897. f. c. 1905. and Oh. 1911, S. l..
1903. the attorney general is the at
torney for the railroad commissioners,
under duty to counsel and advise with
them and to institute and carry on
their litigation.
These duties are utterly Inconsistent
with his acting AS the private counsel
in the pay of the very railroads under
the control and regulations Of the
board.
Grain Freight Rates.
Under Oh. 1876. s. L.. 1909 ii is the
duty OF the attorney general to in
state commerce commission. to deter
mine the business of the grain freight
rates from North Dakota points to
Minnesota and Wisconsin terminals.
This duty should not be entrusted to
one connected as private counsel in the
pay of the carriers.
Railroad MISREPRESENTATION of.
Under CHI. 211 S. L.. 1907 it is the
duty of the attorney general to enforce
the construction of railroad "Y's." 1t
could hardly be expected that an at
torney general drawing compensation

BY the contract (parr IL. hereof the
attorney general. in the name Of Miller
& Costello is employed ITO assist the
states attorney" the only services for
which the county of Stark agreed to
pay were for services rendered in
assisting the states attorney"
Yet under the law the governor
powered to, require the attorney gem
eral to aid (~assist) any states attor-
ney in. the discharge of his duties"
The only theory upon which the
governor Is authorized to require the
attorney general to aid any states at
torney' is that TO aid- the states at
torney is one of. theNdnties of the at
torney general and that therefore the
performance thereof at any time may
be required by the governor.
But assuming for a moment the only
opposing theiry, i. e.. that the duty
90 to aid the states attorney is n
activity only by the act Of the governor
and that. in the absence of a prior
call by the governor the attorney gen.
eral would be at liberty to enter into
an employment such as was done by
hi mhere. then we are met with the
inquiry: Can the attorney general de-
feat the power of the governor to re-
quire his services by first entering
into the contract or by way of con
trast would the subsequent require
lnent by the governor vitiate inc de-
stroy the contract which when enter
ed into was valid and e%nforcible?
But these are but idle sp%eculations;
the language employed in the grant to
the governor expressly imposes upon
the attorney general the duty at all
times to aid the states attorney in the

the attorney general is not bound to
enter upon the discharge thereof, UNI
til called by the governor.
But under section 1866 the contract
entered into. by the attorney general
with Stark county is illegal and UNI
lawful, if contrary to the policy of the
law even though not expressly forbid
den thereby.
Can anyone doubt the policy Of the
law of this state as embodied in Sub.
Div. 4. Sec. 1913. requiring the attorney
general to consult and advise with the

from a railroad client would be ener-
getic to enforce this law against its
wishes.
We do not deem it necessary to ex-
tend the enumeration of the statutes
imposing duties upon the attorney
generals Office. the performance of
which in good faith would bring him
in sharp conflict with corporation
, clients.
We submit that upon this ground
alone it is clear that it is unlawful
for the attorney general or his assis-
tants to engage in the private practice
of his profession because contrary to
good public policy and to good NOR
ais.
Other Evils.
Eut there are other evils. equally
pernicious. which are the natural. If
not inevitable outgrowth of the indui-
gence by the attorney general and his
assistants in the private practice of
their profession as attorneys at law.
Neglect of Duty.

era! ana his assistants to engage in
the practice Of their profession for
their WI private gain, then the more
time devoted thereto. the greater their
financial reward. for their salary from
the state i'll any event is hxed and

ny 1t is thus seen that the statute
expressly and in terms, commanded
and required the. attorney general 'to
consult with and advise the states at
torney" Of Stark county concerning
this very matter; to aid such states
phase of the matter or litigation which
might he brought to his attention.
When the matter was called to his
attention by the county commissioners
the attorney general had M choice or
alternative as to his duty: the statute,
independent and separate from the
common law, spoke clearly and in UNI
mistakable terms and commanded him
to aid the states attorney of Stark
every way in his power: not in a hest
tating. half hearted, hating manner.
requiring the spur of personal gain,
but energetically and enthusiastically
as any other duty should be perform
ed.
There is nothing in the. statutes
which ever the most cupiditous. mind
or intellect can or could construe or
interpret into a license or permit to
the attorney general to require or eX-
tort a personal payment to himself as
Ia condition to giving. by himself and
his assistants of such aid. by counsel,
experience and advice, as the states
attorney of Stark county might re-
quire to institute or. carry on the liti-
cation to a. successful termination.
The action md conduct of the at
torney general comes fairly and

S637 r. c.. 1905. reading as follows:

or receives any emolument, gratuity,
such as may be authorized by law. for
