Especial Correspondence

tSpeCldi tOrfespOiuenceJ
Columbus, O., Aug. o.--The operation
of the last clause of the Willis Corpor-
alton Tax law will in all probability
lead to some serious complications
with the office Of the Secretary of
State and the owners of stock and Off
GERS Of old corporations, those which
have long since ceased TO exist.
The last section of the law express
ly states that companies which have
ceased to transact business shall not
be exempted from the operation of the
law unless certificate of dissolu-
ton shall have been placed on file.
This was intended to avoid the possi-
bility of an old company's going out of
business before the law became ef-
fective and thus evading the tax by
going into a partnership form of car
rying on their business.
The law as it stands now includes
every corporation, ever authorized and
qualified to do business in Ohio. Many
of these have of course ceased to ex-
list and in many others, the holders
of stock and officers are dead How
the administration makers of the bill
expect to reach this class of capital
Is not known. There are many cor
pora tions, however, which do not car
ry on the business for which they were
incorporated, but which so far as the
records at the Office of the Secretary
of State show, are still in business.
An effort will be made to reach these
and to give them certificates but the
officials say that they will go after
every institution in the State which
tries in any way to beat the law.

"All right, then; I'll take the limit
off for you
Now, this great system consisted of
playing red or black on numbers and
doubling every loss and repeating
the winning bet. Thus, if he chose
red to play, he bet one dollar. Losing
he bet two; losing this he bet four.

based on his observations, would oc-

make his winnings, for he would
change mis- color every time he went
back to his initial bet. On the night
| of his experiment he chose red to be-
gin on and black won. More than
that, black turned up seventeen con-
secutive times. On his tenth play he
weakened, for two things broke on his
! mind: First, that if he did win that
bet, his profit would be only dollar;
and that if the run continued he
would need the capital of bank to
play He was out as it was $1,023.
Fortunately for him he was a man of

If he had continued to double to
