deretand that the scarcity OF cobs, of
which they complain, Is one of the
evidences of good farming in Marshall
county 1t is, however annoying they
may find the situation. The Marshall

The city council is on record to the
effect that corporations cannot obtain
any more permits to conduct saloons in
Marshalltown. and 1t has refused to
transfer a permit from a corporation,
to its general agent in this city. as not
being in good faith. The grand jury
has likewise made finding that a
corporation should not conduct a
saloon, and that there should be some
personal responsibility attached to the
running OF saloons. Action on the part
of these bodies was based primarily
upon an opinion given to the executive
council of Iowa by Attorney General
Byers about May l, The action taken
by the city council and grand jury is
to be commended, In that it shows
that they desire to bring all saloons
within the law Section 1882 provides
that mo one, by himself. clerk! serv-
ant. employee or agent, shall, for him
self. or any person else. sell or keep
for sale alcohol, ale, wine, beer. ETC.. y
and the holding OF Attorney General
Byers is that this provision is personal
to any one desiring to engage in the
saloon business. for the reason that
the penalty attached to violation of
the law is both fine and Imprisonment
and as corporations cannot be sub
jected to imprisonment, the law does
not extend the right of operating sa
