PREFERENCE TO SOLDIERS VOID Marshalltown Jadare Declares New Iowa Law I'neoaelltntloaal, MARSHALLTOWN, la., Sept. 10. (Spe clal Telegram.) In ruling on the demurrer in the case of C. H. Shaw against tbe City Council of Marshalltown Judge Caawell of the district court held that the soldiers' preference law of the last general asaembty was unconstitutional. , The city demurred to the petition of Shaw asking for a writ of mandamus to compel the council to appoint him city clerk Instead of L. Derby, the present In cumbent, under the provisions of the new law granting preference to honorably die charged aoldiera of the civil war in ap- polntmonta to public positions. To the petition Captain Shaw and C-. H, Vanlaw filed a demurrer on the ground that the new law Waa unconstitutional. In that it violated section (, article I, of the constitution 'of Iowa; aectloii 1, article xlv. constitution of Iowa, and section 1 of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States. Statutory grounds alan oltail were not of much conseauence. Because It la declared to be claaa leglala tlon the court holds the new law to be un constitutional. Judge Caawell said that he himself was one of many who might be benefited by the law. for he was a eoldler of the civil war. It might naturally be expeoted that he would consider the matter carefully, for he would be anxious to do everything possible for' the benefit of hta comrades. He could not see. however, how the law 'could possibly be construed as constitutional, although' he realised there might be a difference of opinion among Jurists. He considered that had it not been for race legislation, which tn reality waa class legislation, there - woutd have been no civil war., therefore no need for the taw paaaed by the last asaembty. If the law. as he understands tt. la claaa legislation, and he firmly believes It la, it must necessarily be unconstitutional. An appeal may be taken to the aupreme court, aa several similar actlona are pending In other counties. ; FOCR FILIPINOS ARE STUDENTS ; f ' a Their Edncatloa at Iowa College t Be Paid for by Government.
