The dispatches state that the Standard
65c j on Company's stcck has decreased in the
5c market $180 per share and assign as
reason for such a decline, t -.e fact that
the government has taken steps to in
vestigate the manner in which the com
pany transacts a portion of its business.
This emphasizes the necessity of a law
which will give the public thru certain
legal channels the right to publicly ex
amine the books of allcorpoiations. These
corporations derive their authority to. do
business thru state laws and in return for
such priviledges, the state should have
the right to know upon what lines the
corporations do business. W e are coming
to this quite rapidly and publicity is the
or.ly thing that will keep some corpora
tions in check. Those wno do business
along correct business principles have
nothing to fear.
It will soon be swearing off time again.
