Position Gov ernor Is Empowered to Get Special Counsel at Times, lu the absence of tho attorney gen eral, Assistant Attorney General James W. Crawford, addressed the following letter to Governor West this morning: "In the absence of tho attorney gen eral, I acknowledge receipt of yours of the loth instant relative to $500 iid Judge Watson for legal services sometime in 1007. "As you have been heretofore) in formed, Judge Watson was employed ut the governor's request, with tho concurrence of the state land board and the atomoy general, in the case of the State vs. Title Guaranty Jt Trust Com panyy. Tho issue was some $:il'i,000 of the school fund, deposited in Port land banks by tho state trensuror. Those banks failed, and the treasurer's bonding company at first denied lia bility. The importance of the caso jus tified employment of additional coun el, which was done, and tho state's interests were fully conserved, as the records shew. The bonding company, after the proposed suit had been work ed up, and papers prepared for filing, finally decided to acknowledge their liability. "The position of this office on the employment of spevial counsel is, and always has been as follows: "The governor, in certain cases of extreme importance, may employ addi tional counsel to assist the attorney general, but continuous and unneces sary employment of additional counsel by any department always has been and always will be opposed by this de prtmeut. "Tho supreme court in the case of Gibson vs. Kay, better known as the McCollovh rase, did not pass upon the employment of special counsel by the governor in important eases, this not being one of the issues, or In any way involved in the rae tried, and was ! not considered in the court's opinion, as any lawyer who has read the same 1 will inform you. I "Oa the return of tht attorney gen eral, your letter will be referred to him." Smith Started Waterworks System and Was Interested ln Other Enter prises Here. William K.
