ARGUED BEFORE STATE
SUPREME COURT TODAY

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 7.-(Spec-
iaD-Arguing that the contract en-
tered into by the Industrial Commits
sion with Minneapolis financial hous-
es for the sale Of 1921 hail warrants
is legal, Acknowledgement Sveinbjorn
Johnson today asked the supreme
court to so hold by sustaining a de-
murrer ,interposed to the complaint
of Otto Bauer, holder of hail war;
rant, attacking the proposed contract
and the authority Of the various state
officials to carrying out its provis-
ions.
Under the proposed contract the
Industrial Commission would issue
notes to the financial houses for 49,
21 hail warrants purchased, the state
treasurer holding the warrants in
trust, the loan to be repaid out Of
the proceeds of the hail warrants
when paid from hail insurance tax
funds collected. The Industrial
Commission, Commissioner Of Insur-
Department and State Treasurer all
are concerned in the agreement.
Attorney-General Johnson argued
that each and every act in the con-
tract is within the power of the Of
ficer which 1t is provided shall per-
form the act; that the warrants are
valid obligations of the hail insur-
ance fund: that the notes when is
sued will be valid obligations of the
fund and the Industrial Commission:

ligated to pay principal and interest

obligated to apply the proceeds of
the taxes into the hail insurance
fund to be paid on the warrants and
to- pay the notes. :

contract, the plaintiff, acting for the
financial houses, attacked the au-
thority of the Industrial Commission
to purchase the warrants, authority
to assign or execute the notes, auth
ority of the state treasurer to en-
dorse the warrants; authority of the
insurance commissioner to waive all
defense to the warrants as is provid-
ed by contract, authority of the state
treasurer to hold the warrants as
collateral or to pay the warrants in
the order provided, under which

would be paid ahead of other war
rants, and authority to pay out of
the hail insurance fund any differ
ence that may exist between khe
dates the hail warrants are called
for payment by the treasurer when
interest stops and the date when the,
notes mature.
