STATE TAKES REFUGE
IN SUPREME COURT
Attorney General Reed Enjoins Oil
( Companies from Enjoining
Hannan.
HOPES TO SUPERSEDE SUITS
(From ft Staff Correspondent.)
UN OO UN, Jan. (Special.) As a
counter aotlon to the suits hrought by
certain oil companies yesterday In Omaha
to restrain Deputy State Oil Commis
sioner C. E. llarman, from collecting
Inspection fees for Inspecting their pro
duot, Attorney General Herd In behalf
cf the state and the oil department, made
application to the supreme court today
for an Injunction to restrain the Stand
ard OH company, the National Refining
company, the fcudahy racking company
and Cudahy Refining company, the Man
hattan Oil company, the 8. 1 Collins
OH company, the State Oil company, the
Marshall Oil company, the H. U OH
company, the A. B. A. OH company and
the I V. Nichols Oil company, from In
terfering with the duties of the oil de
partment In carrying out the laws of the
state regarding the Inspections of II.
The application recites that a tempor
ary Injunction has been granted In the
district court of Douglas county restrain
ing the commission and Its officers fror,
collection of Inspection fees and that
alt of the inspection fees be paid to the
clerk of the district court of Douglas
county to be held until the litigation be
tween the Nicholas Oil company and tho
commission and its officers Is finally de
termined. The application of the attorney general
for an injunction recites that the ex
pense of maintaining the food, drug,
dairy and oil commission Is paid out ot
the fees collected by the department and
that there is no other way to pay the
expense which amounts to 16,000 a month.
The state believes that injunction is
necessary to protect the health, life and
well being of the people of the state
and unless an injunction is Issued, the
state, its officers and its agents will be
involved In expensive, needless and vexa
tious legislation and deprived of Its
sovereign rights and powers as a stale.
The complaint is sworn to by Clarence
E. Herman, state food, oil and dairy
inspector.
Late in the day the court took up the
matter and issued a temporary restrain
ing order, the hearing to take place be
fore the supreme court ol Friday, Jan
uary 21.
It is assumed that coming from a
higher court that this order will virtually
supersede the order against llarman se
cured in the Douglas county district
court yesterday.

hefore in the legal department. Besides
the regular stenographer there has been
an assistant most of the time since the

QnarreU Help Some.
Tho quarreling of the democratic state
officials and departments among them
selves has made extra business for the
state legal department In the way of
running down the law and grinding out
opinions. It is true that some of the
fellow democratic officials of Mr. Deed
have refused to abide by the opinions
emanating from the legal opinion mill
operated by Mr. Reed, but he has contin
ued to grind tnem out Just the same, an
they could "take 'em or leave 'em kione,"
Just as they pleased.
It was no fault of the attorney general
if the other state officers thought they
knew more about law than he did. He
was paid by the state to grind them out
and he did so. If the other officials quar
relling among themselves have made It
necessary to hire more help, then the
blame should be hoisted from the shoul
ders of Mr. Reed onto the shoulders of
the fellows who persist in raising Halifax
