HUMES MARTYR
SPOKANE BELIEF

y.
last Saturday morning for contempt of the
preme court of this state is "unlawfully" confined
in the Thurston County Jail, Olympia, and can be
freed "in fifteen minutes by any federal court
on application by his council for n writ of habeus
corpus.
This belief expressed by leaders of the Spokane
bar, including former Superior Court Justice H.
w. Garfield, is based the decision in the of
Marbury VS.. Madison in mandamus proceeding in
1871 by the Supreme Court of the United States
The decision in this case, nearly paralleed the
Humes case, written by Chief Justice John Marshall
says, There Is no power in the Supreme Court to
issue Il writ of mandamus against any person hold
ing executive office under the authority of the
United States"
Under this decision any federal court would i'm
mediatey be forced to free Ilumes
1t is believed in Spokane that lIumes is
of this fact but is making martyr of himself
to force action on the audit Of the highway de
partment books.
Should Humes be forced to surrender the docu.
ments called for in the peremptory writ of the
Supreme Court before the audit is completed the
people of the state of Washington may never know
just what became of the $7S,OOOOO0 spent on high
ways in this state in the past eleven years
The citation of Humes was the fifth of IA series
of actions growing out of the highway committee
controversy The disagreement between majority
members of the committee Auditor Claisen and
Treasurer Potts, and the minority member, Gov
ernor Hartley, began May 3, when, at the first meet
ing since the appointment of Ilumes, the majority
-
ton of secretary. The governor refused to put
the motion.
Row Over Mccoy
In past years it had been the custom for the
highway engineer to act secretary but feeling
aggreved mt the dismissal of Webster Hoover and
contending that the subsequent discharge of many
of his subordnates made it imperative that they
have some one in close contact with the work, in
whom they had faith, the majority decided to elect
George L. Mccoy, assistant under Hoover, sec
rotary. storm of recrimnation broke a result
of this.
The governor informed the committee that Di-
rector of Efficiency A. II. Gardner had begun an
audit of the departments records and accused Nc
Coy of repeated attempts to block an investigation
of the department. At an afternoon meeting, May
g. the majority elected Auditor Clausen chairman
and Mccoy secretary The governor broke up the
party.
Humes claims that he could not deliver the
records because they were i'm the hands of the
department of efficiency.

EXPLAINING MR.. LOWDEN

The Minneapolis Journal pro
fesses not to understand former
Governor Lowden. In 1924, says
the Journal, Governor Lowden
begged to be excused from the
vice presidency because he be-
lieved he could be of greater ser
vice to American agriculture in
his private capacity than as vice
president. Governor Lowden is
accredited with receptiveness to
the Republican nomination in 1928.
What Il great Minneapolis CON
temporary can not get through its
head is how a man might think
that private life offered lesser OPP
pOrtunity to serve agriculture than
the presidency while at the same
time thinking that it offered
greater opportunity than the vice
presidency.
We ask the Journal to reflect
that the McNary-Haugen bill was
vetoed by President Coolidge, not
by the Vice President nor yet by
a private citizen. If it ever is
signed, the same rule will hold
true. The President who signs
the McNary-Haugen bill will do
American agriculture the greatest
single service in it's history. Per-
haps Governor Lowden hopes to
be that President. Now it should
be clear.-St. Paul Dispatch.

CLOSE-UPS in THE
NATIONS CAPITAL
(By Stephen James,

There is a new boss at the
White House, not that Calvin Cool
idge has resigned, nor yet that
Mrs. Coolidge is any less in Com
mand.
But the new regime is in charge
of one who is a far different per-
sonality than either the President
or the First Lady. His effective
ness, though, is little less than
his distinguished predecessor. The
new boss in Swedish Sam" Knut-

gives his employers only 120 days
since they took possession in which
to finish a job that is costing the
government $3.50, 900.
Swedish Sam" is master of
emphatic language, which he is
said to employ in various keys and
three languages, including the
Scandinavian. He is firmly of
the opinion that Washington work
men are slow. and is not backward
in expressing his %blistering belief.
While the job that Sam is over
seeing is generally spoken of as

The contract calls for the rebuild

attic, the roof, and the ceiling of
the second floor. New bath

FORESTRY WEEK

Observance of National Forest
Week April Is to 80 will turn the
attention OF the people of Mont
ana to some of the major forest
problems presented by the 20 mil
lion acres of cumberland in the
state, according to the state divi-
sion of publicity.
At present Montana's forests
are being cut at the rate OF about
4S0 million feet a year, which is
not excessive considering the ex-
tent and quality Of her forest
lands. The cut, however. is not
uniformly distributed. Sixty
four per cent of the timber is be-
ing cut from private lands which
contain but twenty-seven per cent
OF the total stand. 1t goes with
out saying that the timber which
is now being cut is the choicest
from the point OF quality and the
most accessible. These facts
point to the probable exhaustion

"PIGs is PIGS"

Just prior to yetoing the farm

on him by the flexible tariff act,
increased the duty on pig iron by
so per cent. The duty was IS
cents per ton. 1t is now 91.12h

trust raised the price of pig iron
so cents a ton. or 1872 cents more
than the president raised the duty.
AS the steel trust declared only

One hundred thousand visitors
during Easter week testify to the

where Washington wrought and
died. Here Jefferson and Madi-
son aided in the creation of our
government Here Lincoln en-
erged from %obscurity to pen the

ing role in the most colossal dra-

Washington, in short, is the seat
OF government, welding an ever

is altogether fitting that the peo-
pie should acquaint themselves
with its histroy, its background

And nc longer does the naive
backwoodsman infest the rubber
