Attorney General Calls Both Statutes
Unconstitutional.
Since his return from his Calitor'
alan trip. Attorney General Clark has
been busily engaged in clearing up
work Of his department and among
other opinions which he has given ara
several which are Of general public
interest.
Attorney General Clark holds that
he law Of last winter which attempts
10 continue the free range until wiped
out by a vote Of the people of a coun-
~ Is unconstitutional, as well as was
tle old law. In a recent case before
the supreme court on that question
IA attempt was made to raise con
stitutionality. but the court lodged the
issue, as 1t was not necessary to de
eide that point to PASS upon the case
1t issue.
The question Of license monsy Is
one which Is agitating a number OF
the smaller towns under the provision
~ Lu0 IA" VI ldSI "IAISl, ~ulSu ieAAit1
saloons In towns with less than a
thousand population. That law limits
one saloon to each 800 population. but
allows two saloons In a town OF any
si.e. The question as to the number
)t saloons allowable In such a own Is
the one at issue. and in this the at
Gorney general holds hat three is the
4imit. one for each 800. This would
give a town with 900 population threa
saloons, but II 1t could scare OF ten
more Of population they could license
any number they desired.
The attorney general holds that un
der the sidewalk law of the state the
charge for such improvements is to
be against the adjoining property
which properly would make it a
charge against the property owner, in
staad Of the general public.

An epidemic among the horses

Known about the disease.
When a horse is attacked by the dis

without being able to stand he eats
and drinks we'll and seemingly is In
good health in every way except as to
Che use Of his extremities. The horse
will last from three days to a week
eating and drinking right up to the
time OF death. Post-mortem exatnina
the dead horses. and in each case al
the organs have been In a healthy con
i;tion. The only thing so far discov
cred has been a small clot Of blood ou
the horses brain.
Or. Brimhall, state veterinarian, sent
Tor an expert from the bureau OF ant

All they could find on post-mortem ex

have been asked to make systematic

For a number Of years there has
