Somerset Reporter: Savings banks
trust companies. building associations,
etc, are subject to supervision OF state
officials and national banks of United
States officials. The people should IL
possible be protected from the Wood
bury Moulton concerns, or at least such
should be subject to rigid inspection If
they would deal with Il confiding pup
lie. Corporations are creatures of law.
We do not see any reason why all cor
porations of other states as well as Of
the State of Maine should not be sub
iect TO supervision and their solvency
determined before being allowed TO do
business in Maine and why their agents
should not be required to take out
license like the agents of insurance
companies. 1t is indeed strange that
any considerable number of persons
should bc gulled by corporations or
persons offering 10 per cent per month,
or any per cent. approaching that I'M
possible figure but there are such in
the country, enough it seems 10 make
the business profitable to work.
