BLUE-SK LAWS.
Toledo Blade.)

tIOleuO BldQe.D
In 1913 the Michigan legislature
passed a "blue-sky'' law regulating
sale Of investment securities. The
act was held by the United States
district court to be unconstitutional
The legislature tried it again last
year The court could not see that
matters had been improved upon.
and again rejected the law as fatally
contrary 10 the constitution.
"Blue-sky' laws were passed to
protect investors against such stocks
as mining promoters put out TO the
capacity of their credit at the
printers. The intentions of the
legislatures were the best in the
world But the lawmakers seem
To have been unable to deal with
wild cat promotions without step
ping upon the toes of capitalists
whose honest purposes were not to
be questioned. Investment bankers
were concerned in the appeals TO
the courts Brokers and dealers file(
their protests.
It is hard TO believe that the con-
stitution denies any state the right
to protect its citizens against finan-
cial bandits and get-rich-quick
schemers. A state should be able
TO do this quite as easily as il pro-
vides for protection against burglars
and horse-thieves and kidnappers.
The trouble must be in the law
making. not in the constitutional
principles involved Five federal
courts have reviewed as many blue
sky laws and found them inOpera-
tive II would seem wise 10 consult
these courts as TO how the laws can
be made workable. We cannot
think they would say that was i'm
possible any more than they would
say ii was impossible for a farmer
TO guard his cattle against the foot
and mouth disease.

committed TO the proposition Of
municipal home rule. which is need

city chamberlain is coming over to
tell the delegates to the conference
something about home rule for cities.
There has been lots Of talk about

that they can exercise their powers
