is HELD TO BE VALID
Decisions in Long List of Cases
Handed Down by Highest
Federal Tribunal

hIdeTs ON appropriation bills are to be
given no privilege status in the Supreme
court of the United States. according
70 a decision of Chief Justice White. in
passing ON a rider to the sundry civil
appropriation bill of 1907, whereby the
Treasury Department officials were di-
rcct"d to follow the courts decision in
all claims.
IN attempt was made by counsel for
Gen. \. NJ. Pennington. who sought to
collect for longevity pay based on sery-
ice ut the Military Academy, to have
the court interpret proviso in the
appropriation bill as applicable to his
case. The argument was that the pro-
viso was Il rider and. in accordance
with the new method of legislatins by
riders on appropriation bills. it was to
he construed independent of the rest of
the bill.
The court holds that whatever new
methods OF lcSislating may have been
adopted. when the courts came to inter
pref the Law they must consider riders
i'll connection with the rest of the bill in
which they were found. In constituting
the proviSo the court found the drec-
by what preceded the proviso to back
pay to volunteers and was not applicable
to officers. such as Gen. Pennington.
Chief Justice White remarked that the
bill and the proviso were not to be con-
sidcred one for purposes of legislation
and Independent for purposes of judi
cial construction
