HIGH COURT Is
ASKED TO TAKE
BANK MATTERS
Grave Question Of Public
Policy Involved, Attorney
Urges on Court
SAYS COURT HAS POWER

The supreme court is asked by
A. G.. Divet, attorney for the Guar
anty Fund Commission, to take jur-
isdiction over the affairs Of insol-
vent banks of the state, in q situa-
tion declared to be unique in judi
cial history. Speaking. before the
court yesterday afternoon Mr.. Di-
vet, who aided in drafting the law
Of the 1928 legislature under which
it is proposed the court will act,
urged the court to exercise the pow
er.
"That the situation presented is
such that the public interest is in
volved so that the Court should as
sumo jurisdiction if it can would
seem too plain for argument both
from the standpoint Of what the
Court will take judicial notice of
and from what the Legislature IN
the preamble Of the Art brings ia
its attention." said Mr.. Diyet.
'The legislature Is the prime Con-
servator Of the states interest
and of its public policy. The Act
presents a unique situation l be-
lieve heretofore entirely unknown tu
judicial proceeding"
Mr.. Divet said the question pre-
sented is whether the Court can
act without doing violence to the
constitution, a question which. must
be answered I assume as every 9th.
er question as to the constitutional.
ity of law is answered, In favor
of the law unless IL is unconstitu.
tional, beyond a reasonable doubt
The presentation followed the fill
ing before the supreme court by the
Attorney General of a petition ask
ing the court to exercise original
jurisdiction, declared banks namet
in the petition insolvent and t.
wind up the affairs of the banks
The Attorney General acted undel
an Act Of the last legislature.
The law, Mr.. pivet said, was en-
acted on two separate and distinct
theories that it was sustainable. Tn,
first. he said. he found in section
% of the constitution as follows;
"Suits may be brought against tn.
state in such manner, in such courts
and in such cases as the Legislative,
assembly may by law direct"
The second theory. he said, II
based on sections &c and 81 of thu
constitution. There has been growth
and development in the interpreta
tion of such provisions, he said.
Zone fundamental principle ma!
however be taken as established
that is where grave public Interest,"
are found to be involved the Cour
will assume jurisdiction il it can
And If grave public interests ar
not involved it will refuse jurisdic

Divet. 1T is worthy of note tina
where a real public interest is con
ceded to be involved, the court
