Oregon Blue Sky Law
OR m any y ears investors of all
classes w ere “ d o n e” by m any un
scrupulous prom ote-s of every de
scription. They worked the public on
fa k e lan d deals an d to w n sites; sold
acreage to farm ers which proved to be
valueless or a t least unsuited fo r the
crops they claim ed and upon which their
p ro fits were estim ated. F ake p a ten ts on
unsalable articles were prom oted, big
facto ries erected and never a wheel
tu rn ed , th e stockholder woke up to find
him self in possession of questionable
p a te n ts and a useless facto ry ; th e pro
m oters bail resigned from th e company
and usually were nowhere to bo found.
Tho prom oters drew big salaries and
commissions, sold some of th e ir personal
stock and quit. From th e firs t th eir
only in ten tio n w as to collect all they
could and get out.
Unscrupulous Promoters.
These prom oters, of unscrupulous na
tu re, grossly m isrepresented ev ery th in g
and the small in v esto r had no m eans of
checking th e ir statem en ts. The man
who invests $50,000 can affo rd to hire
exp erts to look into a proposition and
adv ise him, bu t th e small in v esto r had
no protection a t all. The resu lt was
th a t everybody regarded a new e n te r
prise w ith suspicion, refusing to invest,
and business stag n atio u resulted, as a
m a tte r o f course.
It was evident th a t som ething had to
be done to p ro tect the in v esto r and
give a good stan d in g to leg itim ate b usi
ness The Oregon L egislature, a t its last
session, enacted a “ Blue S ky Law ” for
th e purposo of p ro tectin g th e public
from the “ Bunco M a n .” U nder this
a c t a C orporation Commission w as cre
ated under whose ju risd ictio n come all
dom estic and foreign corporations doing
business in tho S tate. A very complete
sta te m e n t of the co rp o ratio n 's a ffa irs

and am ount of stock held by each, copies
o f th e ir by-laws, and all th eir a d v er
tisin g m a tte r and contracts. They m ust
sta te th e ir inten tio n s, w hat th ey w ant
money for, w bat th ey will do w ith it,
w hat th e business is and how th e y in
tend to carry on business.
A fte r th e C orporation Commissioner
has satisfied him self of th e honesty and
good business principles and has v e ri
fied th e ir elaiins, he issues a license to
do business. E very ag en t must also be
reg istered and licensed.
V alue o f th e Law.
W hat is the value of such a law to
the public? Well, th e small inv esto r in
p artic u la r can now ta k e w ith confidence
the statem en ts made to him because lit)
feels th a t the S ta te has done w h at he
is unab le to do— it has in v estig ated
thoroughly and before issuing a license
is convinced of th e fa ir business m eth
ods an d tru th of the co m p an y ’s s ta te
ments.
Now the small investor, a fte r weigh
¡ng th o inform ation placed before hint,
can invest with a sense of secu rity b e
cause be knows th a t he has been told
the tru th . How m any of us have said
“ Yes, I would invest in so and so if I
only knew th a t it is ‘ on the s q u a r e '! ”
Why is it th a t m any prom oters have
raised th e ir angry voices ag ain st the
Blue S ky Law. W h y ! Because they
have some crooked deal to pull o ff and
th ey c a n 't do it w ith the Corporation
Comm issioner on guard. Mr. Ralph
W atson is th e Corporation Commissioner
in Oregon and Mr. Sidney B. V incent
is th e exam iner for th e departm ent, and
everybody should tak e th eir h ats o ff to
these fa ith fu l serv an ts of the public who
guard them front th e outrageous sw ind
lers. T hey perform th e ir d u ty well and
work on, unmoved by th e wild howls of
th e an g ry crooks. (W hy d o n ’t th ey all
