Unanimous Front 10 Presented by
Iowa Supreme Court In lts
Ruling on All Four
Counts.
LAID WRITES FINDINGS
Temperance Faction Can Find Much
Of congratulation in Decis-
lon From Iowa
Court.

The mulct repeal law which closed
saloons in Iowa Jan. l, 1878, Is valid
and constitutional, the Iowa supreme
court ruled Thursday afternoon in
affirming the case Of the state VS..
John Hill, appellant. The action was
begun in Davenport by three saloon
lists to test the new law.
The opinion Of the court is solid
victory for the temperance faction,
says the Des Moines Register. The
court was unanimous in UNFOLDING the
muIct repeal law, and dismissed the
contention of the liquor faction In
each instance by stating that none
of the points raised are fairly debat.
able and we entertain, no doubt In
finding the repeating statute invulner-
able to the objections interposed.'
The court does not leave enough OF
the case to fight out in an effort for
a rehearirg. It is believed, however,
that the vets will ask a rehearing.
History Of Case.
The mu1ct repeal law was passed
by the thirty-sixth general assembly.
1t directed that every saloon in Iowa
close on Jan. 1, 1916. All the grog
shops did close. On Jan. 3, 1916,
three saloons of Davenport were
opened and sales Of liquor were made
to provide grounds for a test of the
closing law. Actions were begun and
the Scott county district court upheld
the law, handing down ruling April
&c.
Attorney General Cosson asked the
supreme court to advance the hear
ing on appeal. This was done and
the case was submitted at the May
period.
! Laid Writes.
Justice Scott M. Ladd wrote the
opinion. He states that the liquor
faction attacked the mulct law on four
counts; that the title was faulty; that
the supplement to the code, 1913 was
not in effect-befng without an index
when the general assembly was in
session; that statement Of consent
was in force in Davenport and the
city of Davenport was entitled to the
revenue expected from saloons; that
Davenport is a special charter city
and not included under the repeal law
The court holds that the title is
sufficient; that the absence of an
index to the supplement did not at
feet the statutes as it was not part
of it and only provided as conven
fence. The court holds that the state
is sovereign and can do as it pleases
with regard to giving cities the right
to tax or not to tax property or bust
nesses.

ethics of which have been expoed in
a bulletin from the National associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. This bulletin was sent
to the Keokuk Industrial association

that only very small per cent of the

There are lots of calls for more
needy purposes than the support of a
tuberculosis home in New Mexico,
and If Keokuk people have dimes to
spend they can much better spend
them for the United Charities and the
Humane society.

agents, who, in turn. secure solicitors
either on commission or salary
BASIS, generally the former.
Ordinarily the society allows 40
per cent commission to the solicitors:
20 per cent to the district or Icca'
agent. The other forty going to the
home office. When solicitors are sell.
ing out of town or at distance, from
the district Office, they are allowed so
per cent commission. Thus when the
20 per cent Is deducted for the dis
trict agent, only 80 per cent reaches
the home Office. OF the 80 or 40 per
cent which reaches the home office,
the expense of publication and dis
tribution OF the magazine and the In
