BLUE SKY LAW OPPOSED
Salem People Against New Commis
sion and More Power for Governor.
Salem. Contending that Blue Sky
law, a measure which it is proposed to
initiate at the coming election, and
which has for its object the regulation
of corporations and the creation of a
corporation department for the pur
pose, means but the saddling of anoth
er commission on the people and their
taxation in an indirect manner to
maintain it, a number of people prom
inent in state affairs here have signi
fie i their intention of actively oppos
ing it and predict that when the peo
ple are made thoroughly acquainted
with the measure, they will vote it
down at the polls.
The main objection urged against
the bill is that it means the creation
of another commission, and additional
taxation for its support. Incidental
thereto is the minor objection that it
gives the governor more power in that
the law provides that the corporatiou
commissioner shall be appointed by
him, and hold office during his plets
ure. Morris Working on Road.
