Perplexing Case From Hardin
County Taken to the State
Supreme Court
JUDGEMENT FOR TAX PAYERS
Judge Kenyon Decided the Case In
Favor of r. !. Heath and Others
Against C. e. AIbrook and Others
History of the Litigation Which In
wolves Large Sum.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines March 31.-The Hardin
county tax ferret muddle has broken
into the state supreme court and will
lbe reviewed there some time next year.
This is the case brought by r. j. Heath
and twenty-five others against c. E.
Albrook and others, and in which Judge
Kenyon gave judgement for the tax
payers. The record as it comes to the
court shows that a contract was enter
ed into with Fleener, Carnahan & Bill
derbeck, as tax ferrets, and that they
uncovered property on which there We're
due unpaid taxes amounting to about
100000, that contract was entered
into by the board and Albrook so that
the latter should get 10 per cent for
collecting the taxes found to be due,
that the contract was not made by the
county treasurer. that Albrook had a
side contract to give two thirds OF what
he got to Fleener. that the county treas-
urer paid is per cent of all collections
he made to Albrook and another Is per
cent to the tax ferrets, and kept only
40 per cent for the county and state,
that upon this contract the county had
paid Albrook $6.5S6.77 which was
divided between Albrook and Fleener.
The court held the contract void and
rendered judgement against Albrook
and Fleener After the fact of the
contract was disclosed the board pass
ed and approved the Albrook bills. and
1t is claimed by the defense that this
legalized the transactions and that the
taxpayers could not go back of this
action and question the contract or the
service rendered. The appeal papers
have just been filed and the arguments
in the case.

HOLD ILLEGAL PERMITS.
Hamilton County Druggists
Selling Liquors In Viola
ton of the Law
uNFAMlLlARlTY WITH STATUTES
Bad Faith Is Not Charged But Simply
That Permits on Which the Time
Has Run Out Are in Operation Sim.
ply Thru Ignorance of the Law
There May Be Others.
Special to Times-Republican.


Webster City, March 31.-A number
of illegal permits to sell intoxicating
liquors are held by druggists in Ham
ilton county, and the supposition is
that the same conditions exist in other
counties In the state. The matter has
been called to the attention of the coun-
ty attorney.
1t is not charged that the permits are
being held thru bad faith, upon the part
of the holders, however. but that they
are still in operation simply thru lack
of familiarity with the legal require
ments of the statutes.
Previous to 1897 it was customary
and legal to grant permits to dispense
Intoxicating liquors for medicinal pur-
poses with any specified time limit to
the instrument. Judges gave permits
which were good until revoked by
proper authority" When the new code
was adopted in 1897, however, it speci-
fed that each permit granted, should
contain in it a time limit. 1t further
specified that all permits granted pre-
vious to 1897, unless with a time clause
insertion. should expire in 1900. In
consequence of this provision, all per-
mits granted previous to 1897, unless
with time clause written in, are in
valid and have been since 1900. -Four
of these permits are still held in this
county. one OF which has been granted
since 1897, but contains no time limit.
The latter case is hardly covered by
the law and calls for a legal test of its
validity. The other three, however, are
pronounced by Mr.. Blake to be unGues-
tionaby Illegal Druggists holding these
permits will probably come before
Judge Evans at the coming term of
court asking renewal. The fact that
their permits are illegal was not dis
covered until recently. and is caus-
ing considerable agitation among drug
men, especially those who hold them. t

tested. The friends of b. Jenkins
proved too strong for Mr.. Morrison who
was defeated by sixty votes. A larger
vote was polled than for some time.
The surprise, OF course is In the cleo
ton of Jenkins over such strong rep
reseniative man as Mr.. Morrison, altho
Mr.. jenkins will make a good mayor.
The republican vote is n heavy one and
1t was but logical to expect that the
regular ticket would be elected. How
ever. Mr.. Morrison failed to do the
proper amount of electioneering which
was done by the other side. and to this
much of the defeat is due.
1t was more of question as to who
would be elected as councilman in the
second ward, the friends OF Davis hay
ing proven very strong in the past few
days
Every conceivable argument was en-
ployed in his candidacy as against that
of Burroughs. The election of the lat
ter by eight votes will insure that ward
a good representative and one who has
business ability with knowledge Of
civic needs.
The candidates for mayor ran strong
in their own wards but Price and
Meanor were defeated in their own
precincts. Mr.. Price was elected by
over one hundred majority to fill the
Office of assessor.
In the First ward B. ]. Richer was
elected over j. S. Wilson by single
VOTE the ballots were 81 for and SO
against. White easily won out in the
fourth over Mr.. Ruff and Hartman
in the Third had easy sailing, being
the only candidate
The election resulted as was predicted
thru these columns. The floating vote
OF the city was influenced enough to
tip the scales in Jenkins favor and
the councilmen We're elected. Now for
the new administration and its future.
Mr.. Jenkins has served as councilman
and thoroughly understands the city's
needs. AS business man, he will con-
duct the city no doubt in a business
like way. He is conservative enough
not to leap into a venture without
efficient advisors and his
service on the council has made him
acquainted with the representative
Grinnell citizens. His administration
is not expected to depart materially
from the general policy carried out
heretofore.
