Oregon Blue Sky Law FOB many years investors of all classes were "done" by many un scrupulous promote-s of every de scription. They worked the public on fake land deals and townsites; sold acreage to farmers which proved to be valueless or at least unsuited for the crops they claimed and upon which their profits wero estimated. Fake patents on unsalablo articles were promoted, big 'factories erected and never a wheel turned, the stockholder woke up to find himself in possession of questionable patents and a useless factory; the pro moters had resigned from the company and usually were nowhere to be found. The promoters drew big salaries and commissions, sold some of their personal stock and quit. From the first their only intention was to collect all they could and get out. Unscrupulous Promoters. These promoter?, of unscrupulous na- ture, grossly misrepresented everything and the small investor had no means of checking their statements. The man who invests V"0,n00 can afford to hire experts to look into a proposition and advise him, but the small investor had no protection at all. The result was that everybody regarded a new enter prise with suspicion, refusing to invest, and business stagnation resulted, as a matter of course. It was evident that something had to be done to protect the investor and give a good standing to legitimate busi ness The Oregon Legislature, at its last session, enacted a "Ulue Sky Law" for the. purposo of protecting the public from the "lluuco Man." Under this act a Corporation Commission was cre ated under whoso jurisdiction come all domestic and foreign corporations doing business in the State. A very complete statement of the corporation's affairs must bo filed with the Corporation Com missioner, containing a list of assets and liabilities, the officers of the company Special Hosiery Offer Guaranteed Wear-Ever Hosiery For Men and Women Ladies' Special Offer For Limited Time Only Six pair of our finest 35c value ladies' fu a ran teed huge in black, tan or white colors with written guarantee, (or $1.00 and 10c iot postage, etc. SPECIAL OFFttt FOR MEN For a limited tinio only, six pairs of our fine nt aricralue On a ran teed Ho&e any color with written guarantee and a pair of our well known Men's Paxwliw Garten for One Dollar, and KJo for postage, etc I 1 You know these hose; they stood the test 'when all others failed. ; They give real foot 'comfort They hare no Beams to rip.

They must state their intentions, what they want money for, what they will do with it, what the business is and how they in tend to carry on business. After the Corporation Commissioner has satisfied himself of the honesty and good business principles and has veri fied their claims, he issues a license to do business. Every agent must also be registered and licensed. Value of the Law. What is the value of such a law to the public! Well, the small investor in particular can now take with confidence the statements made to him because he feels that the State has done what he is unablo to do it has investigated thoroughly and before issuing a license is convinced of the fair business meth ods and truth of tho company's state ments. Now tho small investor, after weigh ing the information placed before him, can invest with a sense of security be cause he knows that he has been told the truth. How many of us have said "Yes, I would invest in so-and-so if I only knew that it is 'on the square 't" Why is it that many promoters have raised their angry voices against the Blue Sky Law. Whyt Because they have some crooked deal to pull off and they can't do it with the Corporation Commissioner on guard. Mr. Ralph Watson is the Corporation Commissioner in Oregon and Mr. Sidney B. Vincent is the examiner for the department, and everybody should take their hats off to these faithful servants of the public who guard them from the outrageous swind lers. They perform their duty well and work on, unmoved by the wild howls of tho angry crooks. (Why don't they alf comply with the tewt They dare not exposo theelves.)
