ting forth a fine argument on the
subject. They dwelt particularly upon
the point that the power lay with the
voters; that the municipal authori-
ties were only the instruments of
the people to do the bidding OF the
people as expressed at each annual
election, and that il no vote were
taken the authorities had no power
to act; in other words the affirmative
vote of a majority of all votes cast
was a necessary step precedent to
the issuance of license, and that
such vote must be taken at each n
nual election TO authorize license for
each year. This contention VAS put
in good form and based on a number
of the best authorities. That Warren
81 Warren prepared an excellent pre-
s~entation of the subject is evidenced
by the fact that the opinion of the
supreme court conforms strictly to
their line of argument. The opinion
was written by Judge Corson, the
Oldest member of the court. In
rendering his decision and taking
the advanced ground that he did, il
certainly must give Judge Whiting
pleasure to read the constituting

Court Ruling.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 81. Yesterdays
issue of the state board Of health Bull
letin contains the following article ex-
planning Its Interpretation of recent
decision of the supreme court:
1.-The decision of the supreme court,
state of Iowa VS.. G. H. Heath, is very
sweeping and all-embracing in its ap-
plication. 1t declares that no one can
legally publicly profess to cure or heal
with the intention Of treating any who
may apply unless he or she has first
procured from the state board Of med
ical examiners a certificate asa physi-
clan or an osteopath. 1t applies equal
ly to magnetic healers, electropathists,
Undergraduates, cancer specialists. eye
specialists, chiropractics. 1t does not
include certain parties who are declar-
ed by the statute to be exempt. 1t does
not include, neither does 1T exclude,
Christian Scientists. The court on this
subject says: AS applied to the treat
ment thru Christian Science there
seems to be some diversity of opinion,
depending somewhat as to whether the
supposed agency relied on is divine or
human. On that point no opinion Is
expressed"
