WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-So-called
blue sky laws Of Ohio, Michigan and
South Dakota, regulating the sale OF
securities and designed to bar get
rich-quick schemes, were upheld as
by the supreme court
in far-reaching decisions affecting
similar laws in 26 states.
Justice McKenna handed down the
opinions of the court. to which JUS
tice McReynolds alone dissented.
They admit that such statutes may
curb and burden legitimate business,
but hold that the interests of legiti-
mate business are not paramount to
the police power of states to protect
their citizens from fraud. Federal
court injunctions suspending enforce
ment of the laws are dissolved.
The laws do not attempt to prohibit
unwise investments, but give state
authorities, through security commits
sions or banking superintendents. au

PRESIDENT INSISTS ON PROMPT
HANDLING OF FIVE SPECIAL
MEASURES

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.-Deter.
mined If possible, to have his legisla-
tive program completed during the
present session of congress. Presi-
dent Wilson has inaugurated new
custom of going frequently to his
room in the capitol for detailed dis
cussions OF pending bills
Leaders of the senate and house
gave assurances of their willingness
to cooperate in speeding up the
legislative machinery. The measures
on which the president laid stress
we're the railroad bills. the vocational
educational measure. the general leas-
ing and water power bills, the Porto
Rico bill and revenue legislation. He
insisted that all these measures be
passed during the present session of
congress.
A possible hitch was revealed when
a group of western senators, including
SendlOIh 4 neldHi Iltllhdht MSyVto anu
Walsh, told the president the belief
was general that no action on the
general leasing and water power
bills could be secured unless the navy
department compromised in its oppO-
sition to the Phelan amendment to
the leasing measure to relieve private
operators on oil lands within naval
reserves. The president said he was
investigating the subject and was
very anxious that action be taken on
the water power and general leasing
bills. Secretary Daniels has been
stesdfast in his opposition to the
Phelan plan

Il am proposing, as it were, that

by the probity of the dealers in them

I'VE cannot stay the hands Of
government upon consideration Of
the impolicy of its legislation. Every
new regulation of business meets
challenge. But the policy of state
and its expression in laws must vary
with circumstances.
"The statutes burden honest busi-
ness, it is true, but burden it only
that under it's forms dishonest bust
ness may not be done. Expense may
thereby be caused and inconvenience
but to arrest the power Of the state
by such considerations would make II
impotent to discharge its functions
