Oppose State in Lawyer Role
(Story also on page one)
Attorney General Robert
Thornton Wednesday issued an
opinion stating that lawyers who
are state legislators cannot rep
resent clients in , court cases in
volving the state.'
The pinion was requested by
State Sen. Harry George (D),
Portland, who is representing

Commission. . . ; , . .

Motion Denied ,!
But the Supreme Court denied
the motion. Chief Justice Harold
Warner; said, however, that
this was hot to be considered a
ruling on the subject of attorneys
serving also in tne legislature..
Sen. George, a new legislator,
said he had requested the opinion
so that the subject would-be
brought out in the open 'and not
a fouree of question 'to be thrown
in during some court hearing in
the future..
' George maintains that the acci
dent commission is set up as a
separate 1 corporation and does
not .. depend on appropriations
from the legislature. ' i
The attorney general in his
opinion, however, sets forth that
contributions from employers to
the accident fund can be consid
ered taxes levied, by the state
and that the commission salaries
are set by the legislature. He de
scribed the commission, as com
prised of public officers charged
with administration of a trust
fund. ! r
Attorney General i Thornton
stated that it was' '"common
knowledge" that many; attorneys
have been engaged as attorneys
in prosecuting claims before state
departments. - -
- He writes that while the Con
stitution, apparently sought to
avoid any impropriety, that
"there is no contention in this
opinion that there has been any
lack of propriety in the, conduct
of these attorneys in I such pro
ceedings.1 i - .
