Wisconsin Supreme Court Curbs Powers of Development Authority
The Wisconsin Supreme Court, in a 4 to 3 decision, upheld the Wisconsin Development Authority Act as constitutional but limited its use of state funds. The WDA may receive the $120,000 appropriated in 1937 yet cannot aid municipalities in establishing public ownership of utilities. The ruling endorses educational statewide work, surveys, and research to promote economical use of electrical power, while narrowing other activities.

Supreme Court Rules Rubin Challenge Unsound in Wisconsin Case
Wisconsin Supreme Court today ruled Rubin's quo warranto challenge unsound while upholding Governor La Follette's right to appoint Herman L. Ekern as lieutenant governor. The decision, written by Justice George B. Nelson, rejects Rubin's claim that no vacancy existed after Gunderson left the post and that the governor had no authority to fill it by appointment. The court noted a 1921 law permits filling vacancies, and emphasized the governor's constitutional power in such cases. Gunderson resigned in 1937 to join the state tax commission, leaving the state without a lieutenant governor until Ekern's appointment May 17. Rubin sought an original ouster action shortly after Ekern's appointment.
