Constitutional law ? Punch board authorization held unconstitutional. Statutory provisions purporting to authorize use of punch boards as trade stimulators upon payment of a use tax stamp, and attempting to authorize pull boards and ticket boards as a means of distributing property by chance for a consideration, are unconstitutional as attempts to authorize lotteries. 2. Lotteries ? Criminal law ? Information ? Statutes ? Punch Boards held lottery. Information charging defendant with wilfully, unlawfully, wrongfully, knowingly and intentionally keeping, permitting, running or conducting, for money, a punch board, was sufficient to state an offense under statute defining lotteries. 3. Officers ? Attorney General ? Authority and duties. The attorney general is the States chief law enforcement officer and may challenge the validity of legislative attempt to authorize lotteries.
