TIIE MORNING1 OREGONIATT, .WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1915. 6 COPPERFIELD BOOZE STORAGE HOT PAID State Gets Bill for $122.85 for Keeping Wet Goods, but Holds It Up. GOVERNOR REFUSES TO PAY Suggestion Made Tliut Holder Use Liquor, Sell It, Make Saloon men Pay or Sue Oswald West, "Who Put It There. SALEM. Or., April 0. (Special.) When one of ex-Governor "West's spe cial Marshals, appointed during the Coppertleld frticas, sent in a bill for 200 recently. Governor Wlthycombe supposed that was the last echo of the now famous "Copperfleld affair." But today there came another dun against the -state, this time for $122.85. That amount, the creditor alleges, is due him for storing liquor confiscated at Copperfleld and which has been helj at Baker for more than a year. Last week Attorney-General Brown went to Baker en route to Washington, and while there, it is understood, he denied that the state had any title or property interest in the liquor stored. there in the. name of Oregon. Taking the ground that the state did not own it, he authorized its return to its owners, so far as any authority he had over it was concerned. But now it appears that before the long-suffering saloon men can get back their booze someone will have to pay the storage bill. Governor Wlthycombe's office has notified Uie Baker storage man that the present executive knows nothing about it, and that it will be referred to Attorney-General Brown when he returns from Washington. It now looks as if the original, owners will have to get the wet goods out of hock themselves. If they are worth the price. Otherwise the storage company will be obliged to keep the booze until the state goes dry, consume it themselves, or. as has been suggested, start an other suit against a previous execu tive, whose activity brought about the present tangle.. COMMISSION MEN WIN Pl'PRE.ME COURT HOLDS LICENSE ACT riNCO-N'STITTJTIOXAIfc Title of Statute Silent Concerning II . Significance, Tribunal Holda, and Quotra Basic I. aw. SALEM, Or.. April 20. (Special.) Tlio State Supreme Court today held the statute providing for the regula tion of commission merchants, passed at the 1913 sesion of the Legislature, to be unconstitutional, and. affirmed the verdict in favor of the defendants in the case against IS. H. Levy and J. J. Cole, appealed from Multnomah County. The act provided that commission merchants obtain licenses from the State Kailroa Commission and file bonds with the Secretary of estate. Messrs. Levy and Cole were convicted and lined J25 each. They appealed to the Circuit Court and Judge Davis dis missed the case, declaring the law to be unconstitutional. "The statute makes the State Rail road Commission," says the opinion, which was written by Justice Benson, "a tribunal with extraordinary powers, although the title of the act gives no hint of such provision. Article 4, sec tion 20, of the state constitution pro vides that 'livery act shall embrace out one subject, and matters properly connected therewith, which subject shall be expressed in the title.' Apply ing this test to the act under consid eration, we see at a glance that the powers granted to the Kailroad Com mission are a vital and dominant feat ure of the statute, yet the title is wholly silent in relation thereto." Other opinions today were as follows: F. P. Smith vb. V. S. Mott. appellant; appealed from Marlon County; suit for re covery of money; affirmed. Joe SuBinlk vs. Alccr 1-oeginff Company, appellant: Hppealed from Multnomah Coun ty: action for dumases for personal in juries: reversed. J. M. Toomey vs. .1. T.

State of Oregon, appellant, vs. Port of Bandon; appealed frojn Cooa County: -Involving legality of creation of port; former opinion affirming that of Circuit Judge Cook adhered to. Freen C I.ove vs. Edwin I.lndstedt. . ap pellant; appealed from Multnomah County: uit to compel specific performance of con tract for land; afTirmed. Frank A. pierce vs. Bertha F.

Petitions for rehearing were denied in Joule Pullen vs. City of Kugene; Nye- vs. Lincoln County Bank; Sonniksen vs. Hood River Gas & Electric Company; Koblnson vs. Hicks, and Taylor vs.. Peterson.

STATE DEVELOPMENT CITED People's Desire Believed to Be That Oregon & California Railway Land Be Sold for Use as Provided In Grant. ALBANY, Or., "April 20. (Special.) That tho action of tho Oregon legis lature in asking the Attorney-General to intervene on behalf of the state In the Oregon & California land grant suit was taken In tho interest of the people of this state is the statement of E. D. Cusick, of this city. State Senator from Linn and Lane counties, wno in troduced the resolution in tho State Senate. Senator Cusick says the inti mation in the Portland Journal that the legislation was undertaken in the In terest of the railroad company is ab surd as the company was not consulted nor did it know anything aDout me matter. Senator Cusick says tho matter is an Important one to the people of tho state. He calls attention to tho fact that from these lands the counties of Oregon in which they are situated receive 466,000 annually in taxes. At any rate that was tho total tax on them for 1913. If this land Is all thrown into a reserve no income will be received. He says that while the people did not want tho railroad company to keep this land, he believes they do wish that the terms' of the grant be complied with and that the land be sold for use and develop ment. If that course is taken it will do much to develop tho state, place the land in shape for taxation as at present and promote the state's prosperity generally. But if the land is merely forfeited to the Government, it will mean another large reserve. "The resolution which I introduced in the Senate, directing the Attorney General to appear in the Oregon & California land grant suit, was not suggested by tho railroad company nor was it introduced with their knowl edge," said Senator Cuaick. "The rail road company was not consulted in the matter at all and I do not know whether its Interests will bo advanced or injured by the appearance of the Attorney-General. "I do know, however, that tho Inter ests of the state are at stake and I be lieve now, as I believed at the session of the Legislature, that the proper ac tion was such as was outlined in the resolution which I introduced. "The 1907 Legislature adopted a reso lution asking Congress in effect to take such action as would compel the rail road to perform specifically the con tract of grant under penalty of for feiture. The decree of the court was forfeiture and- not a specific perform ance of the contract. The position of the state acting under my resolution is entirely consistent, and, in my Judg ment, meets with the overwhelming ap proval of the citizens of this state, par ticularly in the counties seriously con cerned. "The policy of the Harriman roads, in attempting to create a railroad forest reserve along the lines of the Pinchot policy; would have been detrimental to the state's development. The people of the state did ndt want the land to go into a Harriman reserve, nor do they want the lands to go into the National Forest Reserve. The attempt of the Journal to convey the idea that the measure was passed surreptitiously la not based upon tho record. My resolu tion was debated in the Senate and re ported fully in The Oregonlan. The fact that tho matter went over tho head of the Journal, indicates its failure to comprehend those larger questions of public policy vitally interesting to the state. It is one of the most im portant and meritorious acts of the Legislature." "LONG TON" ABANDONED XEW COAL RATE BASIS I.V WASH. INCTO.V PROPOSED. Northern Pacific's Compromise Sched ules Provide for 934,471 Reduc tion In Annual Revenue. OLYMPIA. Wash., April 20. (Spe cial.) One feature of new compromise coal rates offered by tho Northern Pa cific to all points in the state is aban donment of the "long ton" of 2240 pounds, which has obtained throughout Western Washington, and the estab lishing of the short ton of 2000 pounds as the basis of rates. Last year's coal shipments from Ros lyn produced revenues of $364,518 for the Northern Pacific. The new pro posed tariff would have produced rev enues of $330,047. The rates specified in the Public Service Commission order, which is tied up in tho courts, would have produced $311,289. The annual reduction under tho Com mission schedule would amount to $53, 000. The Thurston County Superior Court, however, required tho railroad to file a. supersedeas bond of only $25,-, 000, and if the Commission's order is finally sustained shippers can recover only to tho amount of the bond, it is said. Short ton rates of $1.15 to Seattle and Tacoma from Roslyn. the same rate specified by the Commission, as against existing rates of $1.50 per long ton. equivalent to a $1.34 rate for a short ton, are offered by the railroad. A re duction from $2.50 to $2.25, as against a $2.15 rate provided in the Commis sion's order, is proposed for Spokane. The Commission has set April 30 as a date for a hearing on the proposed tariffs. . DEATH PAY JDENIED WIDOW Washington Case to Decide Depend ency of Father of Dead Man. OLYMPIA; Wash., April 20. (Spe cial.) Whether the abandoned widow of George Greene, a logger killed in th Chehalis County woods in February, or his dependent father is entitled to state compensation will be a question for the courts to decide.

RESPONSIBILITY IS DENIED State Highway Commission Is Xot Party to Columbia Road Tangle. SALEM, Or.. April 20. (Special.)

Mr. Levings safS the company de sirod to do what was fair, but that it would be unwilling to continue work if It could not complete the entire 38 irliles of highway in tho county.
