Into Effect Not Jeopardized, Scys Writer, ACT IS CALLED RADICAL opl of Oood Standing-, Zt Is cUrvd, JUf-ard Act Stumbling Block in path at Balns. e This Fall- Portland. Aug. 15. To the Editor Of The Journal A few days ago there appeared an article In The Journal concerning a cane brought by a tax payer to test the constitutionality of the Oregon Blue Sky law, In which w appear as attorneys for the plain tiff. This contained an Interview with Mr. Watson, corporation commissioner, la which Mr. Watson stated that. If the case proved successful, all corpo rations organized since the Blue Sky law became effective, would be Ille gal and void, and that all bond Issues put forth nince the law was passed would likewise be of doubtful valid ity. tV have studied the law very thor oughly and cannot coincide with this view and, since such a result would be disastrous, It is Important to know that Mr. Watson's conclusions upon the law are not well taken. u me tsium Bky law is unconstltu tlonal, then the former corporation laws of the state have never been re pealed. The Blue Bky law does not ' at all change the method by which cor porations are brought into being. It merely applies after a corporation has been formed, and regulates the sale of Its stocks, bondn Accordingly, it is easily seen that cor porations formed since the Blue Sky law became effective were formed un der the old corporation laws, and that the Blue Sky law merely regulates the sale of thel? stocks, bonds and se curities. The Blue Bky law has ab solutely nothing to do with the focma tlon of corporations. Thus It Is eas ily Men that Mr. Watson is mistaken and (hat he has thrown a needless care Into the public. This law is of considerable import ance. It Is quite apparent that Mr. Watson himself does not believe It to be constitutional. This law is of such great Importance that its validity should be determined as early as pos sible. Th Blue Sky law makes Mr. Watson the general custodian of all corporations In this state. He has as much authority over corporations as the state banking commission has over banks. Now. since he has au thority over corporations. It is no more than fair to ask him to come into court and .allow this law to be tested once and for all. that all uncertainty In regard to corporations may be deter mined at as early a date as possible. It Is unfair to state that the only Interests opposed to the Blue Sky law are dealers in stocks and bpnds of a doubtful value. The onlypersons In (terested in having thislaw declared t unconstitutional are iwn men of the C character Just mentioned, but a great many of Portland's leading business men. and corporations of undoubted standing are desirous of having this law removed from tho statute books upon the ground that it is a needless tumbling block in the path of busi ness. Most people are surprised when they learn that this law regulates .the ale of notes. If some small concern which now and then receives a note In the course of a business transac tion desires to sell that note, it must first comply with the Blue Sky law, submit to an examination by Mr. Wat-, son, and then secure a license; or. if some, individual in Portland is fortu nate enough to own a share of stock In the National City Bank of New .York or the Standard Oil company, and desires to sell the same in Oregon, he must first have the Standard Oil company or the National City bank, as the case may be, secure a license In the state of Oregon before this Individual here can sell that share of stock. On account of this, and nu merous other features, one is fully Justified In saying that this .law sroes too far. For these reasons, the ene mies of this law are numerous. The law In Michigan was declared unconstitutional upon the application of some of Chicago's leading bankers and stock brokers, and by railroad4 companies. The same Is true in Iowa. The case which we filed in - Marlon county follows precisely the same method adopted In Iowa, where the law was declared unconstitutional. .Now, since Mr. Watson is a public official and should have the best in terests of the corporations of this state at heart, Is it not fair to ask Mm that he come in and allow this law to be tested upon its merits in order that the uncertainty may be re moved? Very truly yours, GEORGE KOSSMAN. Petition Signed br 200,000 Elector rud "With Secretary of Stat Maxes Xaiu a Certainty. Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 15. That tho voters of Ohio will be given the op portunity to vote on a woman suf frage amendment at the general elec tions On November 2, was made cer tain when petitions with more ' than 200,000 names were placed on file with the secretary of state, asking for the submission of a proposed constitu tional amendment to that effect to voters of the commonwealth. With the filing of the petitions came stories of how signatures in many cases were secured from many who had hitherto opposed votes for women. Names were written down in fence . corners, on plow handles or on street cars. One woman told of climbing a roof to ge$ the signature of two workmen. Another shoveled grain to convince a farmer that wom an is capable of man's work. She got the coveted signature. "We are going to succeed this time," is the word passed out today by Mrs. Harriet Upton Tyler, president of the Ohio suffrage organization. "Two years ago we hoped to win, but we were scattered and disorganized, but that gave us our lesson.

Chicago .meat barons, big wholesalers and others be lieved familiar with conditions behind the sudden boost of food prices since the war started, will be summoned before the federal grand Jury Monday, United States District Attorney WU kerson announced tonight. The packers will be asked if it Is true that they are quietly shipping 250,000 pounds of beef across the Canadian border every night for use by Great Britain and what effect such an export business would have on prices in the United States. They will be asked if it is true that the enor mous supplies of meats are held in cold storage here to be thrown upon the market in the United States when European demand forces still higher meat prices. It was hinted at the federal build4 ing that the government Investigation into food prices directed by President Wilson may reach the Minneapolis millers. District Attorney Wilkerson, commenting upon, the recent advance in the price of flour, said he had been told that the Minneapolis millers are making flour from wheat that cost them 75 cents a bushel and selling it as if the wheat had cost them tl a bushel.
