The investigation early developed the fact that olerks and others were repeatedly sent to Seattle to obtain information railroad officers there, although the commission has always claimed that McMillin re- tained his residence there in order to attend to the commission's Seat- tle business. It wes found that the commission has paid a regular monthly fee from the state treas- ury to the Allen Preas Clipping Bureau to supply press ctippings of comment about the commissioners and their work.
