supreme court. which declared the
approval Of such "a convertible issue
beyond the authority Of the commits
sion. The proposed bonds carried an
option OF exchange for stock at par
after five years from date.
The opinion OF the court, which
was unanimous. was written by Chief
Justice Rugg. It said in part:
The approval OF the commission

This IS required by the legislative in

price at which IL IS 10 be issued. The
price at which the public interest may
require that 1t may be issued during a
period OF zen years beginning five
years hence is impossible of ascer-
tainment now
But the approval Of convertible
debentures with the right 20 take
stock at par in payment during that
period involves fixing a price Of the
stock during the like period. An or
der entered now that stock be issued

afford no security that the corpora

fixed upon such a capitalization will
be Jar. or that the rights OF other

erly.
THE mandatory requirement of the
statute that the commission shall base
it's decision as to the amount Of stock
TO be issued upon the price at which
II Is 10 be put out is inconsistent with
the underlying idea Of a convertible
bond such as Is proposed in the pres
ent proceeding. II has been argued
with earnestness that a convertible
debenture has become highly desira-
Bile in view Of present conditions This
however. is a matter rather for leg
islative than judicial consideration.
