Pharmacy Board Controversy at Last
to Be Settled.
TO NAME THREE NEW MEMBERS
Ames Aarlealaral . College Iaaaa
Statement of Their Arhlevesaeats
for Year la Way of Prise
W lnailaa. "
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DEB MOLNES. April (Special.)
A new turn wa given the matter of th
controversy over the Stat Pharmacy
board by tha reaignatlon today of B. F.
Kelts of Webster City, for five' years a
member and at present chairman. He
arrived In the city this morning and
after conference between the commis
sioners and the member of the council
It waa agreed that the entire controversy
hould be dropped and the bill which
have been held up ahould b paid. Io
view of this Mr. Kelts tendered his res
ignation, addressed to the council, a fol
low: I hereby tender my resignation as a
member of the State Pharmacy commis
sion, such resignation to take effect at
once. Becauae of the publicity already
given this matter I beg to briefly state
my reasons: - '
1. Whatever may be the merit of the
controversy between Governor Carroll
and myself, I realise that there can be
but one ultimate result, and at best I
could hold no longer than one more year
wnen my term win expire.
2. I am Informed the new law gives
the executive council power to remove
appointive officer. Should I underteke
to hold my office, member of th ex
ecutive council- will he confronted with
the alternative of either voting for my
removal or antagonising the cnairman or
that hndv. and f An nrt think mv CAtiae
la of sufficient Importance to Justify me
In ao embarrassing them.
3. Many or tne duties or my orrice par
take of tha nature of secret service. A
commissioner should feel free to go and 1
come at will when he believes the nubile
service requires It. Such conditions can
exist only when confidential relations ob
tain between him and all members of
the council. Under existing conditions I
feel thst the state's Interests can be
best aubserved by my resignation. My
personal lntereat I have nlwaya tried to
place aecond to that of the public service
and I wish to do so now.
I have the utmost confidence that your
honorable body will accept thla statement
in tne spirit or fairness In wnlcn it is
given.
A Blatter af Politics.
The entire controversy related to two or
three days last June, when It was declared
by the governor that Kelt did no work
for the elate. He had demanded hi Indict
ment or prosecution for perjury, and In the
meantime had not submitted to the council
the January and February bills of the com
missioners. The matter beueme one purely
of politics, and Mr. Kelts has been offered
good business opening which ha will
take.
Tomorrow the governor will announce the
appointment of three member of the com
mission and they will elect a secretary
and pro need with business. It Is regarded
as certain that Harry Eaton of Shenan
doah will be reappointed and with him
D. J. Haddon of Alta. but who the third
member la haa not been disclosed.
It Is known that In cane Kelts had chosen
to remain on the board he would not have
been removed by the state executive coun
cil, but the governor could have forced
hla retirement by failure to report the ex
pense bills.
Work af Collese ttadeata.
The atate college at Ames Is engaged In
