Washington wmie the provident was sounding the battle-cry battle-cry against "economic royalists" at Philadelphia, practically no one noK.ced a case acted upon by the Securities-Exchange commission which indicates that the battle as' far as Wall street is concerned --is already in full swing. The case is that of Boston-Montana Mines, and threatens to result re-sult in a Supreme Court test of the constitutionality of the Securities Secur-ities act. The issue is, whether a firm, wishing to sell stocks and bonds to the public, can register with the SEC, and then having registered, withdraw its case after the SEC discover." grounds for charging fraud. This goes one step further than, the J. Edward Jones test, in which the Supreme court decided against the SEC. Jones wanted to with-, draw his registration before he had sold stock to the public. But in the Boston-Montana Mines ca.se, stocks actually had boen sold before the SEC found an alleged falsification and issued a stop order against further .sales. The SEC has now threatened threat-ened to turn the case over to the justice department, while Boston-Montana Boston-Montana Mines threatens to take it up to the supreme, court. The cases is the most important one involving the SEC that has come up .so far. For if a firm can register a statement and then when challeged withdraw without fear of prosecution, then registering register-ing will become just a good na-tured na-tured game of tag.

New ideas are developing so rapidly that political lines are being be-ing abolished, the congressman said. In his opinion, the question that wiU rule political thought for years, is: How far should the federal fed-eral government go in helping its citizens ? Program Justified For himself, the former Provo attorney believes that the federal government is entered into a program pro-gram so vast that it should continue con-tinue for an indefinite period. He believes that the west should get as much money as possible for project here.

Mr. Robinson pointed out that for years money has been flowing from the west to eastern centers, and it is only fair that some of this money comes back. Less, than one per cent of federal taxes are paid by the 11 western states which includes Utah, and 65 per cent of these taxes are paid by five leading states.
