GARLAND AND US HELD MEL Governor's Appointees To Fish Commission Are Disqualified By Reason Of Senate Seats. In legal circles here today opin ion is voiced that the state fish dc partment will be thrown into chaos by Injunction proceedings from some source, not yet revealed, to prevent State Senators Heals and Garland from serving as member of the ff.-di commission. They were appointed yesterday by Governor Pierce following a conference with several eenntora In which BohIn and Gnrland both participated. . The appointments. It is pointed out here, are clearly in violation of the state constitution In two different ways. In the fir.-it place, it Is explained, the constitution In hibits a member of the legislature from ncceptlng any other lucrative Mate office, and fish commissioner is a lucrative office. Inasmuch a the members receive $5 a day for each day they are on business of the commission. - The other violation of the con stitution, it is claimed. In In the part of the senatom took In the appointments. The constitution provides that the governmental nf fairs of the state shall be in three department, legislative, executive Including adminlHtrnttve, and Ju dicial, and that no person connect ed with any one of these shall In fringe upon the other. Since the state senators are said to have dic tated the appointments it is point od out that they Infringed upoi the executive and the admini-tra tlvo department. The appointment are looked upon here, as far as the governor i concerned, a a reward for serv ice rendercii him by Garland and H'al as member of the group of 13 In the senate (bat upheld the hands of the governor throim'houT the Iegls!atio session ABOLISH MB P.jrth.nd.
