a NEW CORPORATION LAW.
Provisions of the Measure Passed in
West Virginia

CHARLESTON. W. Va. Feb. H.-The
new corporation bill has passed both
houses. and will become law as soon as
approved by TIE Governor. The bill
makes some radical changes. which will
be OF interest to the thousands of West
Virginia corporations doing business all
over the United States. 1t changes the
mode Of paying the license tax. which has
heretofore been the nominal sum of $50
on all nonresident corporations As it
now stands the license tax is graded on
the amount OF the authorized capital Of
the corporation, being less than formerly
on corporations having an authorized
capital of less than SIS 600. the same as
heretofore on companies from So. 900 to
10000 and $40 and an additional 20 cents
for each thousand of authorized capital
from $100, 600 to 81, 600. coo; on the second
million. 80 cents per thousand: on the
third million, 20 cents per thousand: on
the fourth million. 10 cents per thousand.
and for every million after the fourth
$40 per million.
This may seem a hardship on some non
resident corporations but the bill pro-
yides for the reduction Of the authorized
maximum limit of the capital stock OF
5ljH CtI pDIdtIuAS tS ut-hE d lISeF au
thorized stock than their subscribed
stock.
The bill removes the limit as 10 the
amount Of stock corporation can issue;
it removes the restrictions as 10 the
amount of real estate corporation may
hold: il authorizes a corporation 10 pur-
chase the stock or securities Of another
corporation. and 10 become surety for the
same under certain conditions. II pro-
vides for the issuing OF preferred stock:
it provides for the sale Of stock at less
than par by three-fourths vote OF all the
stock II provides that either real or per
sonaI property may be received in pay
ment fer stock. il provides for waiver Of
notice for meetings, it changes the form
for the agreement of incorporation. It
provides that the principal office of the
stockholders meetings can be either
within or without this State; it provides
that so per cent of the stock may sell the
property of the corporation: it provides
new requirements from corporations form
ed under the laws of other States that de-
sire 10 transact business in West Virginia:
provides q license tax upon the actual
amount of their capital represented by
property owned and used in West Virginia
and provides a minimum license of 800
for such corporations. 1t provides ade-
quate means for enforcing the penalty of
forfeiture for nOn-payment of license
taxes

Circulation Statement.
Returning sanity in knnsns.

By holding the Nation woman in jail in
default OF bond to keep the peace, and
exacting peace bonds from her leading
companions in the recent riots; and by a
judicial decision that the property of
saloon is as sacred from molestation, ex-
cept under the legitimate order Of a
court. as any other property. the prohibi
ton crusade in Kansas has been brought
to a full stop.
What astonishes the country IS that
these simple and effectua1 means OF pre-
venting disorder. destruction. and blood
shed were not resorted TO earlier. For
two whole weeks Kansas was at the Ter-
cy of fanatical. crazed, and, according 10
press dispatches, often half drunken mobs
of Nation reformers, who were permitted
to wreck houses and fixtures and to tom

ger being lifted TO interfere with the sat
urnalia of violence and crime. The very
first time Mrs. Nation was arrested at the
beginning Of the movement she could have
been put under bonds TO keep the reac e

not herself that lawbreaking may be too
expensive to render the practice pleasant
And. if then. che CT the Kansas judges
who now step to the front brayely and
sensibly. had been equally brave and sen
sible, and had admonished the populace
that saloon property was as much undel

waite vengeance as churches and school,
houses. there would have been an end tC
the matter and the GrasshOpper State
would have avoided the dark stain upon
its record which now will never be Iost
