Supreme court hears emergency clause cases in Olympia
Olympia reports the Washington supreme court took up five emergency clause cases on a special calendar. Attorney General Tanner argues that key acts including the fish code, highway appropriations of 1.8 million dollars, and general budget items totaling more than 2.3 million do not take effect until June 10. The governor contends the acts serve government support and emergency clauses prevail. Separately, mandamus actions seek to force Secretary Howell to accept referendum filings on jitney bond and city funds diversion bills, with the AG deeming emergency clauses valid in those cases. Street car strike in Seattle collapsed with open shop stance maintained. Meanwhile state agriculture bars live stock and poultry imports to curb foot and mouth disease.
