TO PREVENT WAR.
European Powers Have Taken Hand
in the Matter,

Washington, Dec. 23.-Diplomatic
pressure will be brought TO bear upon
Colombia by several European powers
TO prevent war between that country
and the United States The first step
has already been taken by several for
eign powers through their representa-
tives. who have informed General
Reyes Of the futility Of any attempt
by Colombia to retake Panama, de-
elaring that it will result only in pre-
eipitating the Bogota government In
to war with the United States and
that the result Of such catastrophe
Colombia herself must realize.
II this is not sufficient. the repre-
sentatives OF these countries at Bo-
gotta will be instructed to inform Pres
ident MarroGuin that Colombia may
expect no sympathy from the Euro
pean powers in any movement she
may make on Panama, which would
inevitably involve her in war with the
United States. The members Of the
diplomatic corps have been informed
by General Reyes himself that he fears
he can with difficulty check his people
much longer.

ing the agreement formed To main
tain prices and limit the output Of
lumber which has been in effect for
the apst two years between the lumber
manufacturers Of California. Oregon

present agreement terminates on the
last day Of the present month unless

tending factions. the mills OF Oregon
and Washington find themselves con-
fronted with a drop in the price Of ex-
port lumber OF about "a per thousand

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1903-08-10

1872 of the state constitution, which
authorizes the investment Of such
fund in such bonds; and, second, that
the bonds issued under this act do not
create a state debt. His argument is
this: They are bonds of the state
therefore the board is authorized to
buy them. They do not create a state
debt. therefore the debt limit section
of the constitution does not apply to
them. Briefly stated, counsel's entire
argument turns upon the paradoxical
proposition that these instruments are
bonds of the state, and that they are
not state bonds; that is, he contends
that they are bonds of the state for
the purpose of sustaining them as a
constitutional investment of the per-
manent school fund under section 1862,
and contends they are not state bonds
or evidences of a state Indebtedness
for the purpose of avoiding the con-
demnation of section 1872, which linn
it's state Indebtedness to 100000.
This contention has no merit"
The latter portion of the opinion is
supported by argument and illustra-
ton, and by citations from a multi
tude of decisions, special attention be-
ing paid to those showing difference
between these obligations and assess
ments for special improvements.
The decision concludes:
THE members of this court are not
unmindful of the embarrassment, to
this and other state institutions which
! are looking to moneys derived from
these proposed loans for building and
| improvements. which will follow our
! decision. This will be temporary
however. and is of small consequence
, compared with the permanent injury
which would be done to the people
of the state if the courts to which
they have committed the preservation
of the constitutional rights and the
integrity of the constitution itself
should fail in the performance o
their duty. 1t follows from what w
have said that the state treasurer, a.
the constitutional custodian OF tn
permanent school fund acted strictl
in accord with his legal duty in refus
ing to pay the warrant drawn for Tn
) proposed illegal investment. The wri
, prayed for will be denied.
