There Is another point In the case de-

constitution sforbids any lease or grant
OF agricultural lands for more than
twenty years, and as the proposed lease
as to this lake was for twenty years
with an additional six years, it is H.
legal. It was held also to be extremely
doubtful II the executive council could
make any lease for twenty years which
Is not to commence until long after the

was for the sole purpose Of carrying
out the orders as to drainage which
had been made by previous council
and which will have to stand until the

lease offered was merely one way Of

begun long ago without expense to the

Attorney General Cosson in his opin-
Ion states: IS
1T Seems perfectly obvious that this
section (under which the lease was to
be made) conveys no authority to the
executive council to make a contract
with reference to the meandered. non
navigable lakes of state for, a definite
period Of twenty or twenty-six years,
but that such lease of any meandered,
non-navigab1e lake or lake bed within
the state must be made subject to dis
position at any time by the general as
sembly, or in the language Of the stat
ute, until otherwise disposed Of Sure
ly It was not the intention Of

beds within the state by leasing the
same to private parties to be drained
and used for agricultural or other pri-
vate purposes, such leases to be for a
definite period Of years and beyond the
future control and disposition of even
the general assembly itself, and I so
hold. It would seem to follow as nee
essary corrOllary that il the executive
council is without authority to make a

versy. The start Of 1t was the move
on the part of the pharmacy commits
sion some time ago to shut off the
sale in general stores Of the copperas
product made by the steel and wire
trust and sold as a remedy for hog
cholera. This is handled in all sorts
of stores. 1t is sold strictly as medi-
cine. The druggists objected to its
sale in that way.
Groeers Selling Drugs.
But later development came to
compel a general conference. Commits
sioner Newcomb found that in Burling-
ton the grocery stores were selling a
great many kinds of drugs and poisons
and articles which elsewhere in the
state are sold only by pharmacists. He
made collection Of these various
things he found in the stores and set
out to put stop to the practice. One
day last week he sent FOR the other
members of the commission, Messrs.
Wilson and Haddon. and they held a
conference with the Burlington people.
But representative Of various inter
ests were on hand to make a showing
that the commission is dead wrong.
The commission found that in Burling-
ton the handling Of drugs in general
stores was more common than any
place else in the state.
But the point OF controversy is over
the difference between domestic
drug and domestic remedy" The
law seems to make 81. discrimination, so
that certain common household rem
edies may be sold by anybody.
