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

and amount of stock held by each, copies
of their by-laws, and all their adver
tising matter and contracts. 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.)

who told them of the horrors committed
by the Corporation' Commissioner. They
simply went to the Commissioner,
showed him their plans for the future,
sent their engineer to Salem to see Mr.
Watson that he might learn all there
was to be known, took the examiner for
the Corporation Department to the mine
and exposed all their business.
Did they find these gentlemen to be
horrible tyrants! No; they had a
legitimate proposition and got their li
cense without trouble.
Now don't you all believe in the
"Blue Sky Law"! Of course yon do,
and you'll support it and its loyal rep

the Blizzard Cutter stands alone so much superior
that others are hardly worth considering. Make com
