Denver, July 31.-ln q puonsned
statement Senator Henry N. Ieiier
defends State Treasurer Chipiey from
the assaults made upon him because OIL
his recent payment OF $S9OoO on STATE
warrants, which has been so severely
criticised. Senator Teller says:
II do not think there is any reason
to criticise Treasurer Chipiey Tor the
payment Of the warrants recently pald
by him. These warrants were Issued
In 1889; there has been In the state
treasury in theory (but In fact IN the
banks Of the state) since 1889, $S9,OOO
raised by taxation to pay the expenses
of the state administration Of that year.
This amount of money lay In the banks
for several years, not drawing any In
terest, while the warrants for the pay
ment of which 1t was raised drew six
per cent. per annum. Within the last
few years the banks have paid the
state 2h per cent. per annum on that
amount"
Senator Teller goes on to explain the
character II the warrants and con-
cludes us follows:
ut appears to me that when the
statutes of the state make 1t obligatory
upon the treasurer to make payment,
when two attorney generals declare 1t
to be his duty to pay. when lawyers Of
high character for legal learning and
integrity declare 1t Is his duty to pay,
the treasurer would be liable to the
punishment provided for by the stat
utes should he fail so to do, Nobody
has assailcd these warrants SO paid;
no court has declared them Illegal; no
LAWYER | believe has ever been found
who would not say that they were not
valid obligations Of the state.
"Now. in addition TO all this. the
state of Colorado became the owner OF
a considerable amount of these war

and held at the time of the payment
by Mr.. Chipley about $4,000 Of these
warrants, principal and unpaid inter-
est. l am Informed that at one time
the state owned about S2S.OOO more,
but needing funds. the Legislature all-
thOriZed the treasurer to sell them and
use the money for the purposes
needed. They were SO sold TO the late
holders of these warrants. OF the $40
warrants paid. all but six Of them
had been Mt some time the property
Of the state and sold by the state or
held as IN investment of funds of the
state at the time of payment. The
state, by It's purchase and the invest
ment of Its funds in these warrants,
declared them valid, as well as by the
sale OF those just above mentioned
nnd' would be legally and morally
estopped from rais'ug question Of
their validity; this question the state
has never raised except by the failure

A Denver paper says that the Su-
preme Court will probably be con-
yened August 18th or thereabouts to
hear the appeal in the new revenue
law cnse. 1t is believed that whatever
Judge Dixon's decision may be the
case will be appealed. 1t is also al
legged that owing to the importance OF
the case the Supreme Court Will con-
sent to sit in special session. Ihe law
provides. that the Supreme Court may
be convened In special session by CIV
ing fifteen days notice, and rs soon
ns Judge Dickson's decision is given
this notice will be formally given.
Governor Orman is anxious to have
the highest court In the. state pass on
the validity of the law, us he Is conn.,
dent of Its constitutionality. therefore,
unless In his Judgment an emergency
exists he will not call special session
of the Legislature unless the Supreme
Court should declare the law Invalid.
The attorney generals office has IN
preparation all the necessary papers
to convene the Supreme Court in spe-
cial session and is also making ex-
haustiye researches into the law In the
case. Directly Judge DiXon's decision
is announced. the attorney generafs
office will take steps to get the matter
before the Supreme Court, unless In
the interim the governor should
change his mind and call special
session. II Judge Dixon's decision is
announced within the next week the
attorney generals office hopes to get
an opinion on the law by next October
ut latest.
