Attorney General of Iowa in the opinion
furnished the Executive Council, holds
that the validity of the railroad law is

porations have failed to file reports CIV
ing information to aid in the discharge
of this duty, the Council must have re-
course to other sources. "It would be
very strange" says the Attorney Gener-

plead his own deliberately wrong act as
reason why the law should not be en-
forced against him.
