vide for the assessment Of the stock Of cor
pora.ions. The purpose Of this bill Is to do
away in certain cases with what In known aS
NON assessable stock, or shares, in mining
companies. The supporters Of She measure
claim that the non -assessable stock system
has worked great injury to the mining inter
ests Of the Territory, and also the capital in
vested in mines. They say that while it pre-
vents innocent investors in bogus mines from
being bled beyond their original investments,
IL also prevents the managers and officers OF
msritsrious mining enterprises from calling
on the stockholders for assistance when Ii IL
needed. by tho present law no assessment
can be levied for the good Of the company,
on non -assessable stock without the consent
Of all the stockholdeFs. The purpose ef II.
ID. 60 Is to authorize . majority Of sharehold-
eyS In q nou- assessabie stock company 70

ally held by the promoters Of the enterprise.
