REHEARINC HAS BEEN ASKED IN
THREE MILLION BOND ISSUE CASE

Petition for rehearing of the
case in which the 100000 of in
stitutional bonds were held invalid
by the Montana supreme court was
filed this week with the high court
by the attorney generals office.
The court is now having its sum-
mer recess but will take action on
the petition when it convenes, Sep
TENDER 9th.
If the rehearing is granted by
the supreme court, new oral argu-
ments are expected to be prepared
and presented. The case will be
settled definitely if the rehearing
is denied.
New Points Raised =.
The petition, which was ubmit-
ted by the attorney genera on be-
half Of the state board Of examin-
ers, defendants in the original ac-
tion to test the validity of the
bond issue, cites several points
which it declares were not consid-
cred by the supreme court. The
courts decision had stated that the
act providing for the bond issue
failed to determine the amount Of
the levy through which the bonds
were to be retired. 1t also helC
that the issue was not for a singl,

assert, does not require that the
law which creates or authorizes
an indebtedness shall, itself, levy a
tax. They maintain It merely re-
quires that the law shall provide
for the levy Of tax sufficient to
pay They also argue that the
constitution does not require that
the law which creates the debt
shall be submitted to a vote If the
people, but merely that the law au-
thorizing the creation Of the debt
shall be submitted.
Cite Precedent
Attention of the court is called
to the fact that both educational
and. custodial institutions are relat-
ed. The petition points out that
one section of the constitution
states that a law which creates a
debt shall specify the purpose"
but it does not contain the limits
of single purpose. On the point
that the act failed to specify the
amount of the levy the petition
cites other cases approved by the
court and in which, it states, the
amount was not set.
The petition was drawn up by
Howard Toole of Missoula and
Horace Davis of Billings, friends
of the court.

GERMAN RULER

Berlin, July 19.-President Paul
Won Hindenburg took further dras-
tic measures to prevent money
from flowing out of Germany
when he issued a dictatorial de-
cree today establishing complete
governmental control over the
holdings of foreign currency by
German taxpayers.
The decree entails strong safe
guards against the concealing by
Germans of their fortunes, their
transfer into foreign money or In
to claims held abroad.
The force Of the decree is tenn
pered slightly by a provision ex-
empting German-owned securities
or German investments abroad
which could only be realized after
giving notice of more than three
months. The decree applies tc
foreigners having a legal residence
Ct more than six months in Ger
many.
The reichsbank is entitled by
the decree to compel taxpayers t.
sell to the bank at the prevailing
to foreign currency.
A second decree levies 100 mark
on each German resident going a
broad, payable before starting
The penalty for evasion is a fin
of 1000 marks or Imprisonment
The decree is valid from July 2
to October ! unless the govern
ment rescnds it before then.

many walked and came on horse

grounds which disclosed the fact
that all cars came loaded. Taking
into consideration the existing eco
nomic conditions, when very few
people actually could afford the
gas to take them to the lake even
for one afternoons outing in the
year the crowd was remarkable
and indicated an interest by the
people in political and economic
affairs never before known in the
northwest.
During the speaking the entire
crowd, men, women and young peo-
pie were in the pavilion where ev-
cry seat was taken and hundreds
either stood or sat on the floor
during the entire time of the
speaking. The speakers, who did
not mince words, were roundly
cheered and applauded again and
aagin as they attacked the capitl-
list system and proclaimed that a
new system must take its place.
Rasmussen Chairman
Hans Rasmussen acted as chair
man and briefly introduced the
speakers in his inimicai way. He
first introduced George Max, a

An editorial in the Billings Ga
zette of July IL issue complains
of Senator Couzens Of Michigan
for proving that the so-calleu
Hoover moratorium plan was not
formulated by The president; that
said plan was sent him ready
made. All of which make the
President a moratorium near-hc-

If one is TO believe the said
Gazette, Mr.. Hoover is entitled 70
all the glory for the debt hoh-
day; that Mr.. Hoover Matched the
moratorium egg; that it is unim-
portant who laid it. But suppose
a cuckoo laid that egg in the
White House nest!
The facts are entirely on the
side Of the Michigan senator. The
London Times on the day follow
ing the conclusion of the confer
ence at Chequers gave an author
itative statement to the effec
that the conferees - Chancello
Bruening and Dr. Curtius 70

cided to request a suspension o
international debt payments.
1t was agreed among other thing
by the said conferees that it wa
impossible for Germany to cor
