Salem— One year ago the Eddy cor-
’ poration law went into effect.
The
state has received under the provisions
o f that law $106,866.09. During this
first year of the operation of the
law, 466 new domestic corporations
have been formed and 200 foreign cor
porations have qualified for the trans
action of business in this state.
The total number of domestic corpor
ations is now 2 , 022 , which number,
with the 200 foreign corporations
makes a total of 2,022 companies auth
orised to do business in Oregon.
During the next 12 months the re
ceipts from declaration fees of foreign
corporations w ill be very small, but
this w ill be more than made up from
annual license fees from foreign cor
porations. In the past year many of
the foreign corporations paid only for
a fraction of a year, but hereafter they
w ill pay tor fu ll years.
The income of the state from the
Eddy corporation tax law w ill there
fore exceed $ 100,000 a year and within
a year or tw o w ill probably reach
$120,000 or $10,000 a month.
The
expense of maintaining the corporation
department is abodt $ 2,000 a year.
