COSSON IS Baking
OVER BLUE LAWS
Attorney General Informs odie That
He Can Render Better Service
In Other Fields.

DDS MONIES, Dec. 30.-Attorney
General George Cosson will take no
part in the enforcement Of the Sunday
blue laws Of Iowa. He made this
clear Monday in letter to NJ. s. ode,
attorney for the Iowa Anti-Saloon
league. Odle few days ago, notified
Cosson to enforce the Sabbath closing
statute He intimated that If the at
torney general refused to act drastic
steps would be taken.
Cosson declares he can render a
greater service and promote a more
wholesome respect Tor law by devot-
ing his time to the more serious OF
lenses and the larger affairs of the
state. Odle says Cosson has plenty
of time in which to make campaign
speeches and that it would take the
attorney general but five minutes to
dictate law enforcement notice TO
every county attorney in Iowa to get
busy on the blue laws.
Following is the text Of Cosson's
letter:
Il am in receipt Of your communi-
Ication in which you suggest that
enforce or cause to be enforced the
ISunday law. This law is drawn in
general terms, has been upon our
;statute books for half a century. is
similar to the very early statutes OF
lother states on the same question
and infractions may be prosecuted
only in justice Of the peace or infer
Tor courts with punishment not to
exceed $500.
! "The attorney general has felt that
~ cap reudar grestar sarvice tn the
people and promote a more whole
some respect for law by devoting the
larger part of his attention to the
more serious offenses and the larger
affairs of the state, both civil and
criminal, especially when there are
more demands upon the time Of the
department than can possibly be
filled.
"You suggest that nothing more
will be required upon the part of the
attorney general than the mere die
!tation of letter which would con-
sumo Is or 20 minutes time. 1t is
amazing that anyone should assume
that the mere dictation of a letter
could revolutionize the practice OF
half a century. We do not find the
law so easily enforced. If it were
we could dispense with special
agents. :.
"without reference to the merit OF
vour contention the attorney general
must determine from multitude Of
demands and suggestions what serv
ice shall be rendered by his de
partment in order to produce the
greatest benefit to all the people.
