MARKET Bills
PASSAGE NEAR
By International News Service

Administration leaders today
predicted final passage of the
stock market bill this week.
They declare that both houses
are ready to ratify the confer
ence report on the measure, de-
signed to prevent recurrence of
the speculative mania that pro-
duced the 1929 stock market col
lapse.
Ratification of the reports will
mean President Roosevelt will de-
termine whether there shall be
strict or lax enforcement of stock
exchange regulations, for the bill
gives him the power to appoint
the independent commission OF
five members to control the stock
market.
This commission will have vast
powers under the bill, but Con-
gresS definitely has determined
that a margin buyer must put up
cash margin of As per cent or
100 per cent of the lowest price
at which a stock has sold for the
past three years.
The Senate is scheduled to
ratify the report tomorrow. The
House probably will follow on
Wednesday.
Adoption of the independent
commission proposal will be a
victory for Senator Glass CD of
Virginia. sponsor of the separate
regulatory body.
The conference report also out
laws pools and other manipulatory
devices and requires corporations
listing stock to file regular re-
ports to the Federal commission.

Moore. Luke Amendment Ruled off Noyember BaIIol

The temporary injunction restraining the Secre-
retary of State from putting the proposed Moore
constitutional amendment on the November ballot,
made permanent by court order issued by Judge
NJ t. Phelps.
The court held that there were two or more diff
ferent subject matters contained in this initiated
measure contrary to article 2l of the constitution
which says that there should not be more than one
subject matter in each amendment offered to be voted
upon by the people with ''Yes" or No"
In making his ruling which he did orally at the
end of the hearing which lasted two hours, Judge
Phelps said that he presumed the case would go to
the supreme court regardless of what he might rule
but he desired the record in his court to show his
judgment which stated.
There is no qustion but that the provisions of
this initiative measure do prean to taxation" Judge
Phelps said, However noLe instance license tax
is fixed in an attempt to fix rate of tax on copper
regardless of the price of copper. In an other in
stance it is sought to fix base for taxation on ut-
tiles. And in third instance is the question of
making the tax commission into constitutional body
and that is foreign to rate fixing to fixing a base
for rate making and could not be properly ncorpor-
ated under article Il of our state constitution by
any stretch of the Imagination"
Judge Phelps then ordered the temporary injunc-
tion made permanent and the measure will not be
the general election ballot unless further order
is made by the supreme court.
