Welbanks & Co., 155 P. 120.

Where a contract for the sale of potatoes required their delivery within 30 days from its date, but the buyer did not demand them for 68 days, he could not thereafter recover for failure to deliver the potatoes, since he could not in-384 (Cal.App.) In action for breach of condefinitely postpone the demand.-Id.

181(1) (Cal.App.) Where the seller of raisins established that they were delivered in time and were of the specified grade, the burden was then on the buyer to prove that he had rejected them, showed that the seller admitted they were not of grade and agreed to adjust the matter on that basis.-Bronge v.

tract to take and market apples, Civ.

VII. REMEDIES OF SELLER. (E) Actions for Price or Value. 353 (Cal.App.) A complaint averring that plaintiff sold defendant hay, and that defendant promised to pay on given date, but failed, states a cause of action of contract of sale, without an averment of delivery, in view of Civ. Code, § 1721.-Johnson v. Dixon Farms Co., 155 P. 134.

In view of Code Civ. Proc. § 307, abolishing forms of action, and section 452 providing for liberal construction of pleadings held, that a complaint averring that plaintiff, for an agreed amount, sold hay to defendant, but that defendant did not make payment according to its agreement, must be considered as stating a cause of action for goods sold and delivered.-Id.

364(7) (Cal.App.) In an action for the price of raisins sold by plaintiff to defendant, where the evidence showed that a portion of the raisins were accepted, it was not error to refuse an instruction on time of delivery, since, even if the raisins were delivered too late, the condition of timed delivery was waived.-Bronge v.

Where, in a suit to enforce a land sale contract, it appeared that the land was worth from $7,600 to $7,980, the fact that the price paid was from $760 to $1,140 less did not, in the absence of fraud, show a disparity in price amounting to an inequity such as would prevent specific performance.-Greenwood v. Greenwood, 155 P. 807.

28 (Okl.) Where a person agrees on certain conditions to be performed by a bank to indorse all notes held by the bank, to 55 per cent. thereof, and makes a special deposit in the bank to secure performance, he is entitled, on failure of the bank to comply with the conditions, to any part of such deposit which has not been properly applied under the agreement, and may set off same in an action against him by the bank on a note.-First State Bank of Indiahoma v.61 (Okl.)

porting to be drawn on a special fund, pursuant to Rev. Laws 1910, 8 8066, impliedly warrants that they are valid existing obligations of the state.-Logan County Bank v. Farmers' Nat. Bank of Oklahoma City, 155 P. 561.

96 (Okl.) A vendor may enforce specific performance of a land sale contract where he tenders a valid deed.-Dillon v. Ringleman, 155 P. 563.

III. SUBJECTS AND TITLES OF ACTS.

106 (1) (Mont.) While a law enacted by the people on the initiative may not be subject in all respects to constitutional restrictions as to title, still the title may be fairly accepted as notice of the general contents of the bill.-State v. Duncan, 155 P. 1111.

114 (Mont.) Workmen's Compensation Act, does not violate Const. art. 5. § 23, providing that the subject of a bill shall be expressed in the title, because of the inclusion within its operation of counties and county employés, so that the provisions applying to counties are valid.Lewis and Clark County v. Industrial Acc. Board of Montana, 155 P. 268.

The term "workmen" in the title to Workmen's Compensation Law was used in its generic sense, and included employés in the county as well as individuals.-Id.

1909, p. 334, permitting a party to call the ad117(1) (Idaho) The purpose of Sess. Laws verse party as a witness, is sufficiently express119 (Mont.) Workmen's Compensation Acted in its title to meet the requirements of Const. is not invalid as a violation of Const. art. 13, art. 3, § 16.-Darry v. Cox, 155 P. 660.

VI. CONSTRUCTION AND OPERA-

TION.

120 (5) (Or.) Under Const. art. 4, § 20,
Laws 1893, p. 119, entitled "An act for a gen-
eral law for the incorporation of cities and
towns," has not a sufficiently broad title to in-
clude provisions repealing or limiting powers al-188 (Idaho) Where words of a statute have
ready granted to existing municipal corpora-
tions.-City of Albany v. McGoldrick, 155 P.

717.

121 (Kan.) Laws 1907, c. 409, relative to
county tax levies, held not invalid on the ground
that the classification was not germane to the
purpose of the act.-Atchison, T. & S. F. Ry.
Co. v. Board of Com'rs of Cowley County, 155
P. 18.

nary and commonly understood meaning.-State
v. Morris, 155 P. 296.

200 (Mont.) Where it is manifest from the
face of a statute that an error was made in the
use of words, the court will treat it as correct-
ed to express the legislative intent.-Barth v.
Pock, 155 P. 282.

226 (Mont.) Where primary statute passed
by the people on the initiative is adopted from
another state, the fact that in the first state it
provided for but one primary for presidential
and local nominations, and when adopted it
was separated so as to provide for two prima-
is significant of the intention to make the
separation.-State v. Duncan, 155 P. 1111.

125 (5) (Mont.) Where the title of an act
declares its purpose "to provide for expression
by the people of their preference for party can-

idential electors," the primary so provided can-
not properly be held to include nominations for
other and minor offices.-State v. Duncan, 155
P. 1111.
