OLSON WINS
VS.. JORGENSON
Supreme Court Fails to Sustain the
Latter's Contention as to
Duties
COUNTY JUDGE SWEETMAN
Authorized to Keep the 81 Marriage
Fees Received in Sargent
County

Two cases Of general interest to the
state have been decided by the su-
preme court of this state and handed
down this week. One is the case of Ex-
State Treasurer Olson VS.. State Aud
itor Jorgenson, in which Mr.. Olson
wins, and the other is the case of Sar-
gent county VS.. Ex-County Judge
Sweetman, in which Sweetman's con-
tention holds good.
The Olson -Jorgenson Case
This case grew out of the law pro-
viding a state hail insurance depart
ment to be conducted by the State
Commissioner of Agriculture and La
Dor. The funds received from prem
iums were known as the hail insurance
fund and were placed in the hands of
the. state treasurer. The general law
regarding the duties of the state
treasurer and auditor require the aud
itor to charge the treasurer with
funds received by the latter, and to
credit him with vouchers exhibited to
the auditor.
During the months of January, Feb
ruary and March, 1913, the treasurer
paid out $500 from the hail insult
ance fund on warrants issued by the
commissioner of hail insurance. The
funds received by the treasurer had
been charged to him by the auditor
under the assumption that the provis-
ions of the general law applied, and
when the warrants drawn by the
commissioner of hail insurance were
presented to the auditor for the above
sum. he refused to credit them to the
treasurer, taking the position that he
was the only constitutional officer
having the power to draw warrants on
the state treasurer. The decision
compels the auditor to make the Gre
dit.
Marriage License Fee Case
In the Sargent county case Judge
Sweetman had retained the fees
charged for the marriage licenses he
issued, holding that they were his by
the statute. The county, however, held
that these fees belonged to it. The
decision of the supreme court sus-
tains Judge Sweetman's contention,
and he has legal right to the fees
from marriage licenses.
This case is interesting to the state
generally only because the same rule
applies to every county and every
Judge in it.

At present Hite is living in the

someone was trying to break into the
place
Getting out of bed, Hite picked up
a revolver and sneaked out into the

F. VI. Swanzy, director of T. H.
Davies & Co., Ltd, returned in the
Matsonia, having been East as mem.
ber of the committee of the Hawaiian
sugar planters which negotiated new
selling contracts to replace that with
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany in existence for many years past
The American did not want to re-
new the contract" Mr. Swanzy said
in reply to a question relative to rea-
son for the change of eastern buyers.
.''Mr. Babst, the new president. does
not believe much in contracts.
The terms of the new contracts are
about the same as the old one. They
are made with the Pennsylvania Re-
fining Company of Philadelphia and
the National Refining Company OF
New Jersey. Those companies were
very pleased to establish connections
with the Hawaiian sugar people," Mr..
Swanzy assured the questioner.
81 am afraid we are going to be
badly held up on the canal" he said
with reference to the new crop situa,
tion. THAT is horrible mess. Just
before leaving New York ! saw some
photographs which showed the canal
as practically dry land. According TO
the pictures you cannot even paddle
a canoe there. However, the Afneri-
can-H Hawaiian are preparing to handle
our sugar Through the straits of Ma
gellan. -. -. ...........
Prophets All Wrong.
when first got over there, people
we're all prophesying very low prices,
so you see how dangerous II is to pro-
phesy," Mr.. Swanzy replied when
asked about the general prospect.
Cuba has large crop, but shipping
is hard to get 1t is in a bad position.
Shippers did not take that matter into
account Cuba will have crop of
3 300, 900 tons this year
Mr.. Swanzy failed to find any pub
lie support for the Federal Refining
Company, or Mr.. Lowry's doctrine
that sugar should be taxed through
the internal revenue instead of the
customs tariff. Everybody spoke to
seemed to think the sugar duty was
going to stay on, whether by Con-
gress passing law repeating the free
sugar clause, which was to take ef-
feet. May 1, or one merely postponing
the date. on which 1t should take eff,
tect.
THE latter course would of courss
be unsatisfactory so far as we are
as it would defer final set
tlement of the question. Meanwhile
Mr.. MeAdoo says he wants the tariff,
They told me in Washington that
one of the big contests was going to
be over the question of a government
owned merchant marine or the ship
purchase bill There might also be a
light over continuance of the war
axes after the end of this year The
Intention, I believe, is to continue

'The price after the Cuban crop
comes in will depend on the European
demand. While visiting New Orleans
talked to sugar men there, who said
he Louisiana crop would be only $780,
700 tons. They did not plant their
usual crop because they were afraid
