Suit to enjoin State Auditor N. F. Dickinson from issuing warrants on three state funds was n-eQ in the Pu- laski Chancery Court by Hal Norwood, attorney, on behalf of H. F. Jackson Of Austin, Lonoke county, on the ground that no specific appropriations for payment was made by the 1915 legislature. The funds are the game protection fund.-" the fund derived from payment of fees and licenses un- der the act regulating the practice of veterinary surgery, medicine and den- tistry, and the fund secured from fees for the examination and registration of nurses.
 "The question has come up before," said Dr. Dickinson, land 1 secured opinions from the late Attorney Gen. eral William l.. Moose, Attorney Gen. eral Wallace Davis and other attor. neyS. All concurred in the opinion that the acts were self-appropriating Judge Moses opinion was quite lengthy. It said that since the amount of the expenses of the Veterinary and Nurses Examining Boards and the Game Commission could not be known to the legislature, specific appropria- tion would be merely guesswork. He said that as the acts provided that all the funds mght be applied to the ex. penses of the boards or the commis. sion, that the appropriations were specific and should be considered as such for two years, after which the legislature would have figures on which to base appropriations. In the case of the game law, Senator J. M. Futrell, author of the bill, said that he expected the law to contain an ap- propriation to meet the expenses 0 the commission and it's employees.
