to enter a plea of guilty when he
learns that BY SO doing he will be

Companies Argued Here
Today.

Former Attorney General H. w. BY
ers is Here on Other Side
Case Twice
Decided.

/ The second hearing before the three
judges in the federal court today is
that Of William r. Compton Co, q
Missouri corporation, Breed Elliott.
and A. Harrison, an Indiana cor
poration. and Mccoy and Co., Maine
corporation, against w. S. Allen. sec
Rotary of state, and George Cosson,
attorney general This case chal-
tlenges the validity of the blue sky
Ilaw passed last winter by the thirty
fifth general assembly. The case is
transferred from the Des Moines d.
vision OF the court.
4 This case was heard before Judge
Smith Mcpherson who held that the
law was constitutional. Later in the
state court, Judge w Fl. McHenry Of
one Of the divisions Of the Polk coun-
ty district court held that 1t was
not constitutional. The case is pend
ing before the supreme court.
| 1t was decided that this case should
come before the three federal judges,
as constitutionality- Of a law is in
ivolved. The plaintiffs are asking an
Injunction against the secretary Of
state and the attorney general.
One Process Of Law.
In the hearing before the supreme
court former Attorney General H. W.
Byers attacked the law. The pres
ent attorney general is defending the
case. Attorney Byers was present
here today.
It was claimed in the arguments
against the blue sky law today that it
does not come under the provisions
Of police regulation, neither does 1t
provide due process Of law. On the
other hand, the attorney general de-
Tended the law as being a protection
to those seeking to make investments.
+ -Musts File Statements.
/ The blue sky law comes under
chapter 1877 OF the thirty-fift.l general
assembly acts It provides that no
investment com panies can exist until
they have been given permits by the
secretary Of state, and in order to
secure these permits the company
must file certified statements as to
it's business, capital and the like, and
must send to the secretary OF state
copies Of advertising matter, and must
file statements as to amount Of stock
and such matters. The law Is intend
ed as asprotection against the pur-
chase oksblue sky and building lots
which are really situated in some
body Of water or swamp land.
Because. the Iowa blue sky law does
not protect crooked promoters in
swindling the public by means of
bogus securities IS not sufficient
ground for declaring the measure I'M
constitutional, Attorney General Cos
son asserted in. his argument before
the supreme court in defending the
statute. He declared that those at
lacking the law have put UP the usual
ibogy which appears to brighten every
one when someone who enjoys I'M
limited privileges is about to lose
some of them in the interest of the
public.
Judge Smith said that the judges
would endeavor to finish all hearings
to-day, as they could give but the one
day here.
