'iK should be almpUfled as regards ' the certification of the articles by the officials of sister states. Oregon Stand Alone . 6 . ' ."Oar; present law require a different certification from that of any other state In the un'on. - As a matter of comity and reel proelty, as well 'as public policy. It should be made to correspond as nearly as possible with the uni form ruW adopted by other states. I know of some instances where this unusual requirement baa kept foreign corporations , from entering our state to carry on legitimate business. . Another recornmendatlon of the report is a simplification of the law i applying to I Incorporation of religlauj. charitable, -fraternal ' TWO NEW BliUB . . ....... and literary corporations. It is """saia to be asf difficult to organise I isuch corporations or to dissolve ' their organization as It la a large j .commercial corporation. t; 'I Bootlegger iPtortiNceded j 1 "The law should also contain a J' provision, says the report, "to prevent as far as possible the for- .' , , matlon of corporations for the carrying on gambling, bootleg j 'glng or other unlawful ; business under the guise! of a religious. t charitable or social club or asso- elation.- j - :- '-' , . The business of the corporation . " department has been Increasing Thanksgiving Greeting May You Enjoy ; Everything And Be Thankful For It 1 STORE CLOSED ALL DAY John J. Rottle r. The Walk-Over Store - .167 N. Commercial steadily, says the report. During tbe fiscal year 1032 domestic cor porations filed articles and 72 foreign corporations qualified to do business in Oregon, making a total of 10,339 live domestic and 825 live foreign coraorations of record June 30, 1922. Receipts Are IJtrge Gross receipts of the depart ment for the fiscal year were $324,719.95. an increase over last year of 12.103.82. Cost of ad ministration of the department, it is said, was less than the preced ing year, resulting In a net reven ue to the-state of over 1300,000. "For the first time since its enactment," the report says, "the blue sky law has been self-sustaining. The total fees in this division exceeded cost of 'opera tion I23C3.2C, while In the pre ceding year the cost exceeded re ceipts by' $3726.79, and in years previous to that the cut to th state was much greater." Statistics Given During the year the department acted upon 252 applications under the blue sky law, of which the fol lowing disposition was made: . Stockbrokers applications de nied or dismissed, ; issuers ap plications denied or dismissed. 29. aggregating $8,000,000; applica tions pending at close of year, 12; permits issued, 205, aggregating $18,523,162. The total number of stock brokers' permits cancelled during the year was 18 and the number of issuers permits cancelled was 218, involving $21,992,690. There were 311 permits in force at the close of the rear, authoriz ing the sale of $3.086.456 of' Se curities. A total of 38 stock brokers permits were in effect. Suspected Concerns Ousted "In addition to the above," con tinues the report, "the commis sion has ' considered informally and summarily denied or dismiss ed schemes for the flotation of ap proximately $10,000,000 of 'se curities,' involving nearly every thing from' stock In patent pro cesses for extracting gold from sea water to certificates of inter est in Carranza land, grants and Eskimo coal mines." Relative to other accomplish ments the report says: ''We have outlawed the com mon law trust company or syndi cate. ' This plan of organization Is designed and generally calcu lated to escape corporate and per sonal liability and evade the pro visions of contractual and statu tory laws. Three Per Cent Loan Rejected ' "We rejected the so-called S per cent .loan company plan that has since proved so disastrous in other states. These concerns gen erally are nothing more nor less than lotteries, and for this and other reasons we rejected the first spplication. Since then It has eben judicially outlawed in some other states. "We frustrated an apparent at tempt by radical interests of other states to gain control of our state banks. Sargent Plan Out "The so-called Sargent plan of financial and. stock manipulation has been virtually forced out of operation in Oregon. In taking over' the office I found this plan in vogue and several companies operating under it. In fact it was recognized in the several blue sky states. : We have, however consistently refused to counten ance it, in all of which I have been sustained by the attorney general. This, is a plan wjhjjrcby the promoters would organize a corporation with nominal 'assets and a very large capitalization divided into common and prefer red stock of the large corpora tion to the public. ; '; , Oil Companies Eliminated "We have driven from the state one of the largest, most powerful and influential and perfectly or ganlzed high pressure stock-sell ing concerns in America. Other blue sky states are now following our example.

Aggie Football Practice to Go Without Halting ' OREOO N AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, Nov. 29. (Special to The Statesman.) Al though the collegiate football sea son has ended," the Aggies will continue to work out once a week until football opens next fall. It is 'the plan of Rutherford to have the Aggie backfield work one night and the line another, until they have perfected a football machine. The Aggies feel fortunate in retaining experienced material for next Jeason, as only three of the first string men graduate Ed Clarke, McFadden and "Hus kie" McKenna. The new system will not af fect babketba'l i actice, which is now in full swing, but is designed to keep the men in better condi tion and to perfect a real machine before next season opens.

Willamette River Again To Be Channel of Trade The "Beautiful Willamette" is to be once more a busy channel of trade, with traffic carried on its broad and swelling bosom. A new company has bought the old river steamer, the Oregona, and Is preparing to re-christen It the Salem and put it back on the river for containuous traffic. The boat is to be a cooperative venture, with the captain, the mate, the purser and the pilot all owning stock in the boat. The vessel Is of 150 tons capacity, not quite like the proverbial Missouri river craft of such light draught that they would run on a good heavy dew, but it is believed they will find enough water for a year round service. It will go to Port land 'Mondayt. Wednesdays and Fridays, returning the following days, and making Sunday trips aUf caim n- r-o.it. Sanborn, the skipper, used to pilot boats on the river In 1872.

Thanks Kxpresod The resolutions also thanked the Salem school board for the courtesies shown them in allow-! ng the use of the Salem high school build'ng; the instructors) and lecturers, for their able dis cussions and the Miller Mercan tile company for some wonderful chrysanthemums Cor decorating the halls. Marion county is starting a big, spectacular movement, in its work to preserve through the schools the early-day history ot the state. The study of Oregon history is compulsory in the elementary schools. To make the h'story interesting, by tying the past to the present through the people and the places that every one knows is the aim of the Mar ion county historical organiza tion. Mrs. Pulkerson Leads .The move was suggested by Mrs. M. L. Fulkerson, county superintendent. It took with the whole institute, and a com mittee of five, headed by Prof. B. T. Youell of Silverton, willj outline a course of local story study'ng that ought to bring to the top a wonderful wealth of real early-day history stories. "It was a wonderful institute." said Mrs. Fulkerson, who had it in charge. "The ifine spirit ot cooperation by -everybody made it a pleasure to do the work, and the attendance broke all records. One of the nicest th'ngs about the whole week was the fact that there was not a single speaker late for appointment or missing so that a substitution had to be made. That was uni que, in carry'ng out a long pro gram like this." Art Posters Interesting Wednesday's sesion was short er than the others The insti tute adjourned at a little be'ore 3 o'clock. Most of the teachers left for their homes within an hour of the closing. One of the most interesting series of department studies ot the whole week was that o! Ala Kama Brenton, ot the Monmouth uormal on art poster work. The poster, with a few vivid colors, about ons b'g striking figure, that can be as rough as lancy dictates just so it is strong and effective, it was shown, is about the most striking, spectacular work for the common "dub" artist, and it carries a punch that even the school children can asimilate. The art talks were given daily. Other departments, however, were wonderfully elective. The health work class conducted by Grace Taylor, school nurse iu Salem, brought out many valu able but frequently overlooked health po'nts. The story work for the primary, presented Wed nesday by Miss Flora Case. 1: rarian of the Salem city lirary, was notably effective. The mus'c presented through the direction of Miss Lena Belle Tartar of Palem, was always highly appre ciated. There were many other features, also, all the way from the primary up to the high echol grades, where the wisest could learn many thincs about children and about teaching that thy hadn't known. The principal addresses of the closing day were: "Reading. Thinking, Learning," by Presi dent Doney of Willamette uni versity; "Education, the Fulfill ment of the Hope of Democracy." by President J. S. Landers o Monmouth state normal; and "Waste", by Jr. U. G. Dubach, oC-O. A. C. The "Dubach adress was 2 'es pecially striking, lie took ' the ' V J I .lit... TiP '""V l . Jr Is the Artful Dodger r u word and thought of "Slouchl-j .ess!' as the key to so much of I the unrest and inefficiency o the age. Slouch'nfiss in thought, in morals, in grit that hasn't the courage to come back in the face of difficulty or of crit'eism. 8louchiness in the appreclaton of honest effort that others put forth to make thngs better, and slotichiness in honor. Some cf. the Duback aphor isms are; "A student who cheats i school is a thief." "Let" us teachers take our job seriously, and instil into our bo and girls a h:gh Eense ot honor." "I can go back 'to the farm and it will hurt no one but the hogs, however badly I , handle the ubsiness; but if I make a mistake as a teacher it will hurt somebody's boy or girl " Thp address was one of the most appreciated features of the whole institute President Landers proclaimed a tsr'king thought in saying that liberty and freedom are only ane-half the story o' Democracy; that America had stressed these nduly. hence its inability to lead the world alter the war. Sym pathy, and iir'f'ciency. and cul ture, and dicipline, and charac ter (good will to one's fellow men) and knowledge, all go into the kind of education that makes a nation pre-eminent, he said Education without the balance of these elements, means the dangerous education criminal. Teachers need to catch the hu manitarian Instinct in American educat'on, to make it functon in the sum total of love.
