WANT THE TRUSTS.

I'll OOD OF LITERATURE INVITING
THEM TO COME TO DELAWARE.
A Washington dispatch says: Del
aware has actively entered the field as
a rival OF New Jersey in the matter OF
incorporating tuusts. Washington has
been flooded with circulars issued by
"The Corporation Trust Company, OF
Delaware" setting forth the great adj
vantages OF organizing corporations In
that state. This company itself IS In
coporated with a capital OF 100000,
and the first name i'm its directory is
that Of George Gray, a Democratic eN-
United States senator, and now a Fed
eral judge.
Among the advantages claimed for
the Delaware law is THAT the original
fee for incorporation Is only about
three-fourths OF that In New Jersey.
The annual tax is about one-half OF
THAT in New Jersey. Stockholders and
directors may hold their meeting
wherever they please and need never
meet in the State Of Delaware. Origi-
nal stock and transfer books may be
kept In or out OF Delaware in the dis.
cretion Of the company. lit is much
more difficult to get an examination ol
the books under the Delaware law than
under the laws OF any other state. Stocl
may be issued in compensation Of "ser.
vices rendered. and the Judgment ol
the directors as 10 the value cf sucl
services Is conclusive. The annual re-
PORT OF a Delaware corporation is re
CURED to give no secret or confidential
i1formation. The certificate need mo-
show, nor need public record be in any
way made Of the amount Of stock sub
tcribed to by any incorporation
The company which issued this circu
ar is authorized to act as the agent o.
{. ustee of interpretations organized un
Ger the Delaware law and will send {
representative anywhere to attend L
Incorporating. The eompany's office
are in New York city and Dover, Del
with Ex-Governor Watson, OF the latte
state, as president; Ward and Gray, o
Wilmington. Del, are counsel for tn
company.
