VETERANS MUST
Be QUALIFIED
SUPREME COURT INTERPRETERS
SOLDIERS PREFERENCE
LAW ON APPEAL

Des Moines, Jan. 14.-The supreme
court has held in the Mcbride
case from Bushanan county that sol
diers who seek preference in appoint
ment under the soldiers preference
law must show that thy are equally
qualified for the place they seek with
the civilian with whom they compete
in order to acquire any rights under
the statute.
The law is construed by the court
as follows:
Before making the appointment the
board or officer who is required to Sc
lect Is bound to make an investigation
as to the applicants qualifications. If
these are not equal to those Of the
other person under consideration he
is not of the class of persons defined
and in whose favor the preference
was voted. If of equal qualifications
however, he would not necessarily be
entitled to the position or office. for all
might prove to be qualified and there
fore to render his employment oblig.
atory and enforcible. s BY proceedings
in mandamus it is further exacted that
he must be Of good moral character
and able to perform the duties Of the
position he occupies
In other words, to get the advantage
of the soldiers preference law, the
veterans must not only be equally ca.
pable with the civilian, but must have
a good moral character and be able
