The rules of international law and

.CAILAGHAN RIGHT
IN A FEW POINTS
Flood Of Money to Be Loos-
cncd by Courts Action.
Long Standing Bills to Be
Paid at Once. Adjutant
Harris Jubilant.

The supreme court of the state of
Arizona yesterday evening handed
down one of the most important de-
cisions which it made for some time
past when it found for the appellee
in the action of State Auditor j. c.
Callaghan, vs.. Jesse Boyce, the famous
Appropriation case which has been
hanging fire in the courts since last
July and on the outcome of which
depended the payment of a large num-
ber Of the claims of various state
departments.
The action grew out Of the refusal
of State Auditor Callaghan to issue
warrants for the expenses of several
of the state officers. Mr.. Callaghan
contending that he had no authority to
| issue the warrants on account of the
failure of the legislature to make a
specific appropriation for the bills at
the special session of that body held
here last spring.
The decision of the states highest
tribunal was made public at five
o'clock yesterday, the opinion having
been written by Judge Cunningham
Judges Ross and Franklin concurring
By this decision, all of the bills which
have been held up for the past sew
eral months will become payable in a
few days, and a number of the de
partments which have been hampered
in their activities by the lack of funds
will be able to resume their accus-
toned stride.
1t will be remembered that last Feb
ruary when the regular session of the
legislature convened, that body, for
some reason or other failed to make
any appropriation for some of the state
departments, and later on Governor
Hunt called a special session for the
purpose Of having the financial mat
ters attended to- The appropriation
which was made at the special session
was considered by Gov. Hunt to be toe
small and he accordingly vetoed the
measure and it was not passed again
over his veto, consequently the state
officials who were affected by the
measure decided that their expenses
should he paid out of the states gen
eral fund and began to draw warrants
against that funG Auditor Callaghan

4 number of the state house en-
| ployes assigned their claims to Jesse

BANKERS MUST BEAR
SHARE OF CAMPAIGN

White Sulphur Springs, ". Va,
July 15--Bankers Of the United States
were reminded today that they must
prepare to handle the financial end
OF d wide American foreign trade by
DIR. T. E Pratt. chief Of the bureau
Of foreign and domestic commerce, in
speech before the West Virginia
Bankers association convention here
today. The development of a large
export business is now under way,
DR.. Pratt told the bankers, and manu-
facturars and merchants will call on
the banks for extensive services in
handling the cash and credit export
transactions.
Or. Pratt said that American banks
are now establishing branches in
South America and other parts Of the
world to handle American business,
and that the European war had result
ed in the extensive substitution Of
American dollar exchange for English
pounds sterling exchange in interna-
tional transactions. He estimated
that the total loans Of American mon
ely and credit to Europe so far during
the war totalled $500 100000, and sug-
gested that the putting out Of large
sums Of American money in Europe
was an economic fallacy.
In loaning money to European ma
tions." he said, we are enabling them
merely to keep up their wasteful war
fare. and if we continue to loan money
to Europe for reconstruction purposes
after the war is over, We will simply
be building up our most active com
petitors"
