AUDITOR BLASTS HOPES Will Refuse to Sign Warrants for Increase Granted by Legislature. Says It Is Unconstitutional. Trouble 18 Brewing. OLYMPIA. Wash.. March 1S (Spe cial.) Trouble Is brewing at the State House. State Auditor .Clausen Is hold ing that under the constitution the -last Legislature did not have the pow er to increase the salary of the fire warden, oil Inspector, members of the Board of Control and others, and he will refuse to pay any but the pres ent salaries May 1 next, when the first vouchers come In under the new appropriations and new laws increas ing salaries. Years ago, when ft Populist Legis lature voted several thousand dollars extra compensation to the committee ' clerks, a test case went to the Supreme Court which held then that the consti tutional provision that the salary of no officer should be increased or di minished during his term of office, ap plied to appointive as well aa elec ive officers. There have been numberless in stances since then that increased sal aries have been carried in appropria tion bills and paid without objection by the auditor, and in fact, within the past few days he has paid certain legislative employes 10 days' extra compensation for past legislative serv ices, in accordance with a resolu tion passed the last night of the ses sion. Of course, 10 days have not ex pired since the session ended, so it is palpably impossible that the employes performed the work for which they were paid, but Clausen wants to know "where he is at" on the other in creases. Bad blood will of course be aroused and a test case will be made. There Is an easy way to get around the constitution; that is for the of ficials to resign and be reappointed, riut quite a number, of them fear to do this, for there is a chance once they quit, the Governor might name someone else in their place. The situation Is causing many of the ap pointive of niccholders a great of un easiness, and Clausen is not so popu lar with them that they are buying him- any souvenirs.
