Enactment of a new blue sky law arid a general overhauling and modernizing of the corporation code are recommended by T. B Handley, state corporation, in his annual report filed with Governor Olcott today. Handley, however, advises against- any radical changes or substitutions in the present laws without mature con sideration and full investigation Among the changes recom mended by Handley are the fol lowing: . , - Clarification of the blue sky law provisions relating to stock brok ers and the regulation and super vision of- the re-sale of securities. Would Publish Frauds, Provision for giving publicity to alleged securities sold lrom one slate to another by use of the United States mails. Repeal of the provision of the blue sky law relating to dealers iu municipal bonds. ' Enactment of legislation cover ing the issuance and creation of preferred stock. Simplification of the law relat ing to the admission of foreign corporations. Repeal' of present code relating to religious, charitable, fraternal and literary corporations and en actment of a simplified, uncom plicated substitute therefor. Municipal Bonds Good. Publicity, Handley points out, is the only means of protecting the general public against the sale ot worthless securities through the mails uutij and unless the federal congress passes the Deiiisou bill or noiiie similar federal law. Refering to the provisions of the present law relating to deal ers in municipal bonds, which he would have repealed, Handley points out that "municipal bonds are, as a general thing, inherently good, their legality established and the element of fraud in their issue eliminated." Instead of the regulation now exercised over these dealers Hand ley would substitute more strenu ous measures for such as needed the attention of the legal depart ment. : "When officials, business and society treat the robber who oper ates with a glaring prospectus and glittering stock certificates the same as the one who works with the flashlight and jimmy, blue sky Resolutions Aim At Sale of Cigarettes; Do Girls Use Them?

CANNERY PACK AT 12,1,000 Million And Half Spent Here by Canning Plants During Current Year, .-Says Allen. The total pack of the five fruit canning plants in Salem for the season of 1922 will total 650,030 as, according to W. G. Allen, manager of the Hunt Bros, com pany of this city. The total whole sale value of the pack in Salem this season will amount to the sum of $2,5 00,000. Mr. Allen, in speaking before the Salem Rotary club at its noon day luncheon today, declared that the fruit canning Industry in Sa lem is more extensive than the entire salmon canning industry on the Columbia river. The an-- ual value of the packs In the two industries is about equal, however, jaid Mr. Allen. For labor, fruit, boxes and other expenses the canning plants ex pended in Salem this season, the sum of $1,600,000, Mr. Allen said. Pack Well Varied. Based on statistics from the five canning plants in the city in cases, the pack this season has been as follows: Loganberries, 160,000; Bartlett pears, 145,000 blackberries, 85,000; Royal Anne cherries," 80,000; apples, 70,000 prunes, 80,000; strawberries,, 60 000; squash, 13,000; gooseberries, 8000; blackberries, 4000; black raspberries, 1200, and red rasp jerries. 1200 cases. It will thus be seen that this past season, the canneries operat ing in Salem did their heaviest business in putting up loganber ries with .150,000 cases, while Bartlett pears ran a close second with 145,000 cases. Northwest Pack Biff. There are not as yet available figures to show the 1922 pack throughout the northwest, Mr. Al len said. 'But all packing plants in the northwest did in proportion about the same business they did one year ago. Hence, a compari 3on can be made with the pack of Salem for the year 1922, compared to the total pack of the northwest for the year 1921, showing just what proportion of canned good is packed in Salem, compared to Malioney's Glands to Be Sold Immediately Following Execution Seattle; Wash., Nov. 29.
