Governor's Appointees To

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.

upon here, as far as the governor
i concerned, a a reward for serv
