with the approval Of the Attorney Cen
eral, ruled that the so-called Special
Renewal Contracts" or so-called "Ex-
ecutive Agents Contracts" then under
consideration by the department, were
the grounds Of that decision, and can
summarize them as follows:
'First-In case of default by either
party to the contract, there could be
no damages or any enforcement of the
contract.
'Second-The contract is against
public policy, and. therefore, void.
Thrd-The contract is framed in
a manner calculated to mislead
'Fourth-The contract is impossi-
BILE of execution according to it's
terms"
The above is but one specimen of

be neglecting his duties as these con-
tracts are being written in several
