Court Reinstates Attorney Cannon in Wisconsin Supreme ruling
The Wisconsin Supreme Court reinstated attorney Raymond J. Cannon of Milwaukee after paying about 3000 in costs, ruling the legislature had no constitutional authority to reinstate him. The decision, written by Justice Owen, rejects legislative attempts to overturn a court judgment and deems the act invalid on three grounds. The ruling emphasizes Cannon's right to practice upon costs and asserts legislative overreach in appointing him.

Utility Probe Cost Law Valid Says High Court
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled the 1931 act allowing the public service commission to bill public utilities for investigation costs is constitutional. Justice Owen wrote the opinion overruling Dane County Judge Hoppmann and upholding the legislature’s general regulatory power. The Loomis corrective law, advancing on a Senate vote, requires payment of investigation costs by utilities up to one half of one percent of gross revenues. The Wisconsin Telephone Company challenged the initial assessment in the state wide rate probe.
