Des Moines, April 2-The state board
of veterinarians of which the state vet
erinarian is the head is up against the
Inevitable legal controversy over the
rights and powers and duties of the new
board. AS was to be expected the board
did not grant certifeaseS3to everybody
l.applying Some persons held diplomas
from schools of veterinary surgery
which We're not regarded by the board
as up to the standard and the holders
| of such diplomas We're refused certih-
Gates. OF course they are going into
court to show the state board how the.
| thing ought to be done. The board held
| that it was its duty to determine what
schools We're reputable and what were
| rot. The holders of these diplomas as
I serted that the board has no discretion
lin the matter. The courts will settle.
Two who we're refused in Polk county
have commenced suit to compel the
4 board to issue the certificates. The
board is comparatively new one and
! the effect of the law has yet to be de-
1 termined. but judging by the good ef-
feet of other similar laws it is in the
fright line.

tlcopies of all the information gathered
lby Mr.. Dewey and was pleased with the
lmethods used. They will be adopted by
/ the state. so far as it is possible 10 90
slso under the law. Mr.. Dewey finds no
trouble in securing all The information
s desired. Generally he has newspaper
3clippings relating to labor troubles. no
a riatter how slight they may be. and
with these in hand he proceeds first TO
S the labor organizations tnen to the
lemployers of labor and then to the en-
rloyes. The reports make no comment
/ whatever on strikes and lockouts. The

published a notice TO that effect, after
which they proceeded to engage in

S ing with the law, altho is a sound
bank and doing a good business.

New interpretations of towns and ad
; ditions are quite common. but few
t towns of Iowa are actually dininishn:
1 in area. Grand Junction is an excep
: ton. There was filed with the secretar,
: cf state today the record showing tha
= proper steps had been taken to redue
e the area of the town. by abandoning
n rart of the plat lying east of the Roci
4 Island tracks in the southern part o
e the town. There are about eighteel
: blocks thus relinquished and the state
I .nent is made that this part of the tow
. has never been treated as a part of tn
4 town and is of no use for town pur
!. poses.
