Ion on the Kansas Health Law

has been quarantined against Wyan.
dotte and Shawnee counties, where
there have lately been cases of small
pox, and prisoners from those districts
will not be received by Warden Lynch
as long Us there Is any danger. Gov
Morrill, asked that the order be made.
At the request Of the board Attorney
General Dawes has given an opinion in
regard to compulsory vaccination. lie
SAYS:
Under the general police powers Inherent III
the state, the legislature would have the right
to confer upon the state board OF health, or on
the local boards OF health, power to establish
any reasonable regulations as to the health OF
the people, but such boards OF health have
only the power given them by tho legislature
In view OF this fact and the law upon the ques-
ton, am OF the opinion that local boards Of
health ind school district boards have no
power to compel any person to submit to vac-
cination.
Local boards Of health have the power to en-
force quarantine regulations to prevent per-
sons infected with contagious diseases from
going among the people so as to spread the
disease. II Is my opinion that sehool boards
have not the power TO prevent chill 4 from at
tending school simply because Its parents re-
fuse to have II vaccinated, II the child has
been exposed to o contagious disease then the
district board and the local boards Of health
have the right, In the interests Of the people,
to prevent the child from attending school or
going where It would endanger the health Of

1t came up In an action to collect paw.
ment Of a $1,000 mortgage note, on

Cured. Attorneys for the defense
raised the point in the district court
as to the effect Of inserting in note
or contract the words ITO pay in gold
coin," or the words, ITO pay In
gold coin or It's equivalent" and
argued that in either form the note
would be illegal, being in violation
OF the legal tender law and contrary
to public policy. 1t was further
argued by the defense that If not avoid.
ing the invalidating the note entirely.
the section requiring the payment in
gold was void. During the argument
the court said that 1t would not enforce
that part ofthe note contracting to pay
in gold; that II 1t came to a question Of
holding that the note was payable In
gold or the contract was illegal and
void, the court would hold that it was
illegal and void.
