Jefferson City, Dec, 2.—Commis- sioner Rrown in Division 1 of the su- preme court has upheld the — state Drainage Law. Under his ruling it will he pe ple-to-go-on- without de- | nine about 3,500,000 acres | of land in southeast Missouri alone. The suit was filed by Judge Louis | Houck and others at Cape Girardeau | against the Little River Drainage dis- , trict and attacked the constitution- | ality of section 5538 of the drainage | and reclamation laws. Under these | amended laws, drainage districts may | be formed under an order of the cir-) eult court having jurisdiction, and under the direction of a board of su- pervisors a levy of 25 cents per acre of all lands in the district can be} levied, and such tax shall be a lien | on the lands. Judge Houck and others contended | that the constitution was violated and | specifically pointed out that the law does not contemplate assessing bene- prising a district, but authorizes only the levying of a level rate of not ex- ceeding 25 cents per acre. To have sustained this contention would have been to practically annul present and } prospective contracts amounting to something like $20,000,000 in south-} » and many similar improvements in other parts of the state, | DIED IN A SPRINGFIELD PULPIT| Cornelius Van Hosen, Government Land Office Official, Dies While Delivering Address, Springfield, Mo., Dec. 2.—Cornelius N.
