SECRETARY OF STATE DECLARES THAT SUCKERS LIKE POETS ARE BORN, NOT MADE. By LOUIS L. EMMERSON. Editor's Note. Illinois led the Uni ted Statea In its Investigation of the ev,ls of blue sky stock salea and in for mulating corrective legislation. Ita "Se curitiea Act" has served as a model for many states and has found to be as com plete a protection to those who invest not wisely but too well as a law can be. Louis L. Emmerson, secretary of state, for Illinois, is familiar with the work ings of the act and haa also made an exhaustive study of other legislation created by other states. He is an author ity beyond dispute on this topic. In an opinion upholding the Illinois Securities Act, the State Supreme Court very aptly describes "blue sky" securi ties as those issued "for the purpose of developing wild cat oil fields in distant states, mythical rubber plantations in Guatemala or imaginary copper mines in Mexico; for extracting gold from sea water or light from cucumbers, develop ing power from the rise and fall of the tides or for the hundreds of visionary schemes designed to secure great re turns from a small investment in a short time." Only in recent yeara has there been any effective effort to curb what the court terms "sleek, peripatetic salesmen with glib tongues and indurated con sciences." Kansas enacted the first law of this kind in 1911 and ita operation was watched with interest by other states. This act has been greatly improved upon and more than three-fourths of the states have adopted measures for the regulation of the aale of securities. We are now preparing to go a step farther. Federal Law Needed. It has been found that in the absence of a federal statute denying the use of the mails in interstate commerce for the sale of unqualified or worthless securi ties the effectiveness of the state laws has been greatly handicapped. Compan ies offering for sale aome of the very worst securities, who are unable or un willing to meet the requirmeents of the jtste laws, offer their psper for sale through the mail from some point at a distance and there is no effective way to prevent it. To remedythis condition, a bill has been presented in Congress by Con gressman Denison of Illinois. This bill has the support of the National Asso ciation of Securitiea Commissioners, the American Bankers' asaociation and the National Association of Investment Bankers. It follows the plan adopted in most of the state laws, classifying se curities for purposes of commerce be tween the states. Invariably, it is the small investor who becomes the victim of the "blue ky" salesman. What he loses often ill olved and held for naught, and that plaintiff be granted an absolute divorce from said defendant, and the plaintiff will take judgment against you there for, and for such other and further re ief as to hte court may seem equitable. That this summons is published in the Gazette-Times for six successive and consecutive weeks, being in seven suc cessive and consecutive weekly publica tions thereof, commencing with the is sue of July 20th, 1922, and ending with the issue of August 31st, 1922, pursuant to the direction of an order made on the 8th day of July, A. D., 1922, by the Honorable D. R. Parker, Judge of the above entitled court. F. A. McMENAMIN, Attorney for Plaintiff. Post office address: Heppner, Oregon. Date of first publication July 20, 1922.

HELM, Register. ruins him financially. Hi inexperience in investments makes him an easy prey. Of course, the inexperienced investor should be wine enough to take the ad vice of his banker before buying any securities, but too often he is influenced by stories of fortunes made by taking a chance. The arguments of the sales man are plausible and he takes the risk in the hope of great returns. Suckers Are Bo a. It is impossible to cure the sucker. He is born that way. He needs all of the protection the law can give him. That ia the purpose of all "blue sky" legislation. Illinois, after experimenting with a law adopted in 1917, has now an amend ed act which haa been accepted in prin ciple by many other states and which is proving aa satisfactory as any securi ties legislation yet worked out. The trouble with the original law adopted in this state waa that it provided for the issuance of a certificate by the Secretary of State to the corporation which met the requirements. This certificate bore the great seal of state. In the handa of an unscrupulous dealer or agent it was very effective in convincing the unwary investor that the State of Illinois stood back of the corporation and that the se curities were as good as a government bond. It was difficult also, under the pro visions of this act to bar questionable securities. Under the present law, adopted in 1919 after it had been carefully worked out by the Securities Deparment ef the Secretary of State's office, no certificates are issued. This was the first law in the country based on the plat, of classifica tion of securities. A large number of other statea now have enacted similar laws which have been upheld by the United States Supreme Court in three cases involving the acts in Michigan, Ohio and South Dakota. Securities Classed. Under the classification plan securi ties are divided into four classes. Class A includes securities the inherent qual ities of which assure their sale and disposition without fraud. These are not subject to the provisions of the act. Class B includes conservative seeruities which, when disposed of by persons and in the manner provided by law, are not subject to the provisions of the act. Class C securities are those based on established income and Class D includes securities based on prospective income. Before these can be sold in the state the company issuing them must file with the Secretary of State complete inform ation regarding the standing of the com pany and its officers and trustees, its assets, liabilities and income. It is discretionary with the Secretary of State whether or not this statement may be filed and if he refuses to file it, the company cannot sell the securities within the state. The statements filed by the companies are a matter of public record and may be seen by those interested at any time, but they all bear this wording: "This statement is prepared by parties inter ested in the sale of securities herein mentioned. Neither the State of Illinois nor any officer of the state assumes any responsibility for any statement herein, nor recommends any of the securities described below." Chance to Succeed. It would not be proper to prohibit the sale of speculative securities for many, if not all, substantial business enter prises are more or less speculative at their inception. All we can hope to do in an official way is to be sure the com pany offering to sell securities has at least a reasonable chance to succeed. In this state and I believe this is true in many other states we have made it a practice to consider conditions which have a fundamental bearing upon each case presented, although some of them may not be specifically mentioned in the law. For instance: First. The personnel of the corpora tion; their records for a period of yean past as to improper or unwise financing; their moral as well as financial standing in the community in which they reside. Second. The major part of the money invested by the purchaser of these ae curities must go to the furtherance of the project and not be wasted in com mission or overhead expense. In this connection, the law specifically states that not to exceed 20 per cent shall be paid as commissions for the sale of se curities. Third. The major portion of the stock must not be given for intangibles such is patent rights, good will or other in tangible assets. Shares used in this monncr must be placed in escrow. Fourth. Where the project is of an extremely hazardous nature, such as oil, mining and similar undertakings, there must be some prospect that the oil or mineral is located within the ter ritory embraced by the contemplated op eration. In other words, projects that are "wild catting" in the extreme are not looked upon favorably by the de partment. All conservative and reliable organiza tions of dealers in securities favor "blue sky" legislation. They realize that it has tended greatly to stabilize the se curities market and has diverted to leg itimate business channels millions of dollars which heretofore went to fraud ulent or hair-brained enterprises. Moreover, this legislation has educa ted the public to the value of thorough investigation before investments are made. More men now seek their banker's advice before buying securities than ever befcre.

Oney, Heppner, 8t Nephew of Mrs. Oney Writes Prize Essay Mrs. M. L. Oney of this city haa fur nished this paper with a copy of the Eskridge Independent, published at Esk ridge, Kansas, containing an essay writ ten by her nephew, Vera McCoy, that waa a prize winner in a eonteat institu ted by The Mail and Breeze, Capper's well known farm weekly, which offered a $100 cash prize for the best letter written on the subject of silos. Mr. Mc Coy carried off the first prize, and he wrote under the heading "Wealth Comet From Silos." We consider the article well worth reproducing for the facta it contains. Our people should be interest ed In adopting allot much more general ly in this county than they hare, and thia short article will be a strong argu ment in their favor. The letter follows: We have on our farm two silos, one being a tile and the other a Common Sense silo made from 2 by 4's and both of 150 ton's capacity. Siloa on a farm are the best investment a fanner can ob tain for an improvement for they pro vide the best feed that can be obtained for his stock. We filled our tile silo last year from 15 acres of bottom land. After we had finished filling we sold the ensilage at $8 ton or approximate ly $12 with the agreement that the cattle were to be fed on our farm. It cost us about $150 to put the water into the silo and when we had deducted this $150 or the expense of handling the feed we had $1,050 from only 15 acres of land. This left the ground clear and we went ahead and prepared for another crop. A man who follows this plan haa the fields clear so he can haul away the ma nure that his cattle produce during the winter months. Ground which ia plowed early in the winter is worth $5 more an acre than ground that is not plowed at all on account of shocks being on the ground. The warm feed that comes from the silo keeps the cattle warm. Often when corn is cut for fodder shocks of corn are frozen to the ground and have to be cut loose with an axe, and this makes the work tedious. The feed that is handy and near the feed lots on a wintry day is worth many dollars for the stock can be fed early in the morn ing. Otherwise the farmer would have to work all day getting the stock fed. Ensilage is more of a balanced ration than any other feed that may be fed to stock cattle or sheep. The silo insures the owner a steady income every year. In case of not rais ing a corn crop he can put the feed into the silo and sell the feed or feed it him self and get returns of $7 or $8 a ton or approximately. $40 to $60 an acre. Ground which has been cleared of wheat by July 10 or July 15 can be planted in cane or kafir which can be used in fill ing the silo. Last year we took one crop of wheat from our land that brought us $40 an acre. Our second crop of silage feed made 4H tons an acre that sold for $7 a ton or $31.50 an acre, thus making total returns of $71.50 an acre or the price of the land in one season. Comparing one acre of feed in the field and in the silo, we find that feed that will produce 7 tons an acre or ap proximately 16 shocks an acre is a good yield. By putting the 16 shocks in the silo it will weigh 14,000 pounda and 40 or 50 pounds are sufficient for an animal with a little rough feed to help balance the ration. On this basis the ailage in the silo will last nine months and 10 days. Sixteen shocks containing 25 bun dles would be approximately 400 bun dles. By feeding three bundles a day, which would not be sufficient without some other feed to balance the ration, this feed would last four months and 27 days, thus making a difference of four months and 13 days a head more feed from 1 acre if put in the silo. Cattle will not eat all the corn stalks as they are hauled to them for they are large and coarse and cattle cannot de vour all the coarse feed.' This causes a great waste and the cattle will be poor when winter is over. Sheep require rich feed as they need very little to satisfy their appetites and if ensilage is fed to them they will stay fat and raise lambs very easily and without becoming poor. We figured one acre of feed in the shock and compared it to silo feed and found that it would feed just twice as long. If it will feed twice as long we surely esn figure that any cattle owner could winter twice as many cattle with the aid of the silo as he could winter in the lot with dry feed. With the aid of two silos or more on a farm where the owner handles 200 cattle, one man easily can take care of these cattle as he will not have to go after the feed every time he feeds his cattle. Considering the labor side, we can see that he could get along without the extra man which it would take if he had to haul the feed every time. This will save $50 to $75 a month where silos are used. Forty or 50 pounds of ensil age fed with alfalfa and 4 pounds of cot tonseed with corn is the best ration of feed that can be obtained for full-feeding. Ensilage and alfalfa hay are ex cellent in holding down the cost of pro ducing milk on the farms of the United States today. Silage is valuable as feed for dairy cattle because of its succu lence, palatability, feeding value and production of milk. The succulence of the feed keeps the cow in good health, her system in good physical condition and this makes it possible for her to digest her feed more easily. The pala tability of silage induces the consump tion of large quantities of other feed. This increase in feed consumed1 togeth er with the way it is relished naturally results in a larger flow of milk. People who do not have silos imagine that silos are a new idea but we never hear of the old silo owners discarding their silos. Most owners of siloa would rather have more of them. Slats' Diary.
