COURT DECISIONS

Des Moines, Feb. 24.-The supreme
court has advanced the hearing of the
blue sky law case to the April term.
The court gives the state twenty days
ITO file arguments and the opposition
twenty days thereafter to answer.
This assures an early decision in the
case. 't

which the tonstitutionality of the blue
sky law is questioned, Is l.. S. Harper
VS.. w. S. Allen, secretary of state.
Clark, Byers & Hutchinson appear for
Harper. Judge McHenry ruled that
the blue sky law Is unconstitutional.
Judge Mcpherson OF the federal court
previously had held II to be valid. The
advancement OF the case assures an
early decision, which Is quite salts
factory to the state. The state bases
its hope of getting reversal of the
decision Of the lower court on the
ground that the law was declared un.
constitutional ON federal grounds. and
on points which9 should not have been
