 legislative power, nor a violation of due process 

 of law, though the reasonableness of the require- 

 ments imposed by the state veterinarian might be 

 litigated were they properly put in issue.^^

 ture, and furnishes the basis of proof in case of 

 legal contest. General rules and regulations, 

 whether issued by a board or by an executive 

 officer, should be published in such a manner as 

 to be easily accessible to all citizens, and especially
