. The decision of the court was rem
deTed in the case of r.. nj. Mills of
Helena against the State Auditor ask
ing an injunction to prevent the is
suance of warrants under House Bill
402. Mills brought the action at the
request of Attorney General Yelling
ton d. Rankin who acted at the re-
quest of the Governor and the case
was in the nature of a test suit. AS
sociate Justice Holloway dissents.
The Governors action being null
and void, the Chief Justice says, the
bills died a natural death because
they were net approved within the
limit fixed by the Constitution in
which bills must be approved after the
adjournment of the Legislative As
sembly.
COMMENT OF COURT
Section Is permits the Gov
ernOr either to approve or dis
approve of items appearing in the
appropriation bills" says the
Chief Justice. Nowhere do we
find the Governor permitted to do
otherwise: the Governor shall
have the power to disapprOve any
item or items of any bill max
bracing distinct items, and the
part or parts approved shall be-
come law and the item or items
disapprOved shall be void. Part or
parts of what? Manifestly, of the
! bill. As illustrative: An apprOpri-
alton bill presented to the Gov
ernOr approves sOHSe of the items
and dfsapprOves others; the item
or items-the part or parts-Of
the bill approved become law. the
item or items disapprOYed are
void"
PLAIN LANGUAGE
i 'It is idle to talk of smterpret-
ing language so pIain," the court
says, cor attempt a construction
/ beyond the clear meaning of the
words used by the farmers of the
Constitution simply because of an
exigency.
''The plain terms of a COnsti-
tutiOnal provision should prevail.
i The Interpretation that should be
i given it is that which reasonable
minds, the great mass of the peO-
pie themselves, would give it. 1t
is not to be supposed that the
Il people have looked for an Obtruse
or recOndite meaning employing
words in a Constitution "but rath-
er that they have accepted them
IN the sense most obvious to the
common understanding" and rati-
fled the instrument in the belief
that that was the sense designed
to be conveyed. Furthermore,
any Interpretation other than the
DlaI0 meaning Of fha fOraOOirOe
words would be viOlative of the
spirit of the Constitution as well
as its letter. The interpretation
intended for would give the Gov
ernOr creative power in the mat
ters of Legislation, and permit the
executive to usurp the functions
which the people have cOnfded to
the Legislature alone"

Objection to Aid for Insur-

tons in May.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
TOXIC, March IA major political
crisis which was threatened by the
privy councils opposition to the min
istry's plan to lend smaller insurance
companies eight million yen for
sympathy" payments to their policy
holders has been averted through the
ministry's decision to accept the coun-
ellis views.
Some of the smaller insurance COM
panies have paid little or nothing on
claims resulting from the earthquake
and fire which laid waste Toxic and
Yokohama last September. The min
istry's plan to lend the companies
money for partial or sympathy
payments was the result of numer-
Gus protests and demonstrations by
policyholders. The privy council,
however, objected to the methods
proposed.
The point at issue was whether the
proposed insurance measure should
be promulgated through an imperial
emergency ordinance, as the cabinet
proposed, or whether payments should
be made on the responsibility of the
ministry and later referred to the
diet in the form of supplementary
budget.
Disagreement over this technicality
now will defer q showdown on the
insurance issue until the eXtraor-
binary session of the diet in June
when Premier Kiyoura hopes to mus
ter a majority through the general
election in May. Despite the COM
paratively small sum involved, the
insurance question has been para
mount, threatening at one time to
topple Kiyoura from the premier
shin.

MACDONALD UPHELD
UPON EXPORTS LEVY
Commons Votes 240 to 40 Against
Conservative Rebuke Of Ger

By the Associated Press
LONDON, March IA conservative
motion to reduce the civil service
vote as a protest against the govern
ments action whereby 1t will receive
only per cent instead of 26 per
cent levy on German exports was
rejected in the house of commons last
night, 24O votes to ITO. The liberals
voted with the government, their
view being that, although the agree
ment Is susceptible to criticism, it is
not of enough Importance for an ad-
verse vote threatening the life of the
government.
The vote was taken after consid-
cradle discussion, in which philip
Snowden, chancellor of the exchequer,
defcn led the governments action.
Former Premier Lloyd George con-
tended that if any abatement in
claims was made in Germany's favor
it should not be made by England
alone, but by all the allies, and that
1t was time for Great Britain to
sand up for her rights.

BRITAIN PLANNING
FARLEY WITH SOVIET
Discussion of International Debts
and Validity Of Treaties
Scheduled for Conference.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, March 7.-Plans are being
completed by the government for the
coming conference with the delegate
of soviet Russia on the questions Of
international debts. restoration of pri-
vate property in Russia. the validity
of the Anglo Russian treaties and on
other subjects upon which Great
Britain's future diplomatic relation
ship with Russia will be predicated.
Prime Minister Macdonald, who will
personally supervise the work of the
British delegates, has suggested to
the Moscow authorities the last week
in March or the first week in April
as suitable date for the conference,
which will be held in one Of the gov
eminent offices in London. NJ. Rakov-
sky. the Russian delegate, who now is
drawing up the soviet claims with
Foreign Minister Tchitcherin in Mos
COW. will be the principal Russian
representative. Neither country will
appoint an ambassador until the out
come of the conference is foreseen.
Present indications point to the Sc
lection of diplomat with long
career in the service to represent
Great Britain. NJ. Rakovsky seems
the Russian candidate most likely
of selection.

LONDON, March THE tubercuIo-
sis vaccine evolved by Prof. George
Dreyer, distinguished oxford bacte-
biologist, one which was the subject
of much newspaper comment last
summer, has not proven success,
according to the Westminster Ga
Zette.
The vaccine has been tested in
many sanatariums and hispitals, and
the results carefully observed, the
paper says, but while some few cases
have shown improvement, the others
have not been affected. Nobody. how
ever, has been known to suffer from
the treatment.
Apparently the vaccine has not been
abandoned. and 1t is suggested that
experiments with larger doses may
have better effect.
