Attorney General Shafer Pre-
sents Summary of Legal
Work in Department

The biennial report OF the Attorney
General was filed today, in compli-
:nce with chapter 1872 of the Session
laws of 1928, with secretary of state
Thomas Hall.
In the report made to the COVER
nor, to whom the report was address
ed, and indirectly to the session OF
1925 were the following recommen-
dations: That the attorney general
be removed from all committees, and
all boards upon which he now serves,
except the pardon board. This change
is advised because the board and 9th
err meetings take up SO much Of the
time of the head Of the legal depart
ment.
The attorney general also recon-
lnended that q special counsel fo1
utility cases be hired. Mr.. Schafei
believes that special counsel should
be hired because of the uAfamiliarity
with utility measures Of the average
acivil or criminal attorney. The sug-
gestion was made that the bank laws
also be revised.
members Of this outlaw organiza-
ton" said the report in referring to
the Industrial Workers of the World
'.flock into this state at critical
time Of the year, when much harvest
labor is required. not for the pur-
pose of availing themselves of legiti
mate employment opportunities bu
for the purpose of terrorizing the
farmers and legitimate help, and fol
disorganizing the wage system. Mr.
Shafer asked for laws to- protec
the state from such 'syndicalism.
Conspiracy would be made felon!

now rated, in the Attorney General:

report The system of criminal pro-
cedure would also be changed so that
criminal would be certain Of speedy
trial and punishment. The selection
of juries under the regular laws, and
the procedure of Grand Juries also
need some serious attention, says the
report.
!, special counsel for the Work
mems Compensation bureau is also
advised. The attorney general feels
that the procuring of an attorney we'll
versed in compensation procedure
would aid his department.
With the moving Of the state SUI
preme court library to the new Liber'
ty Memorial building the attorney
to the new building every time a law
book is required. Mr.. Skaters report
calls attention to this, and advises
that library be procured for the

 "Thls document Ass approved by President Roosevelt less than two s'esks before the formal publication Of the terms nf the second Anglo. Japanese alliance, and just before the opening of the Portsmouth peace eon' ference. This action of President Roosevelt did not stand alone. Al the outbreak ef the Russo. Japanese var is months before President Roose- ,eit had been so impressed with the possibility that France or Germany. or both. might go to the support of Russia against Japan that according to his own statement, In brief let. La Germany and France that if they went te the support of Russia he would go to the support Of Japan and take whatever steps necessary for her pro- tection.'
 'It will be recalled that in the first Anglo -Japanese alliance signed in 1902 this was the obligation which had been assumed by England. We may therefore, say that this warning which came personally from President Roosevelt to France and Germany had only the value which attaches to the personal declaration of the president of the United States. nevertheless the effect of it was to make the United States assume substantially the same responsibility toward Japan which England had assumed in the first al- iiance.
 At the beginning of 1904. as Is clearly revealed in the private papers of President Roosevelt as well as in the contemporary literature of the time. Europe was dangerously close to the brink of q world war. France was allied to Russia. England was al- lied to Japan. Four powers were pair ed. Germany had urged Russia into the war with Japan and her future policy was then matter of doubt and grave concern.
 When President Roosevelt threw in the weight of his influence by his warning to France and Germany. he localized the conflict to the Far East srd quite possibly prevented the out break of a European conflict The situation in the summer of 1905 was such as to make 1t seem quite plaus- ible that if President Roosevelt had ret made this enga cement with Japan and England it would have been far more difficult and perhaps impossible for him to mediate the peace of Ports mouth a month later"
