Protect The Credulous.

The necessity for protecting inve,-
tors In foreign and local investment
companies and of providing for the
safety of funds entrusted by one person
to another's care, is made urgent by the
mushroom-like growth of take concerns
that print glittering prospectuses and
get the money of the unwary The
attorney general of Illinois has begun
war of determination against sncn con-
earns as these and his efforts are being
attended with marked success. 1t was
at the suggestion of the attorney gener-
al that the state some time ago decided
to not issue fake companies original IL
censes, aud since then thsy have i'm
proyei the-epportunityo offered In the lax
laws of other states, and have then enter
ed Illinois as foreign corporations. The
present Fl yht is to throw them out of
the state and to build barrier effect
ual against their re-entrance.
While the number of fake investment
concerns operating in Iowa is relatively
small as compared with those in Hin
OILS, the same necessity for protecting
the crsdulous exists here. There is u
disposition to say, ait served him right;
he ought to have known better,' when
the "investor' lured on by the promise
of fabulous returns, puts his money in q
concern that exists principally on paper
and has no more standing than the
widest scheme of a financial crank.
Yet this is not the proper spirit, for
many persons, tempted by cupidity are
the innocent victims of such concerns
and lose their all in the foolish plunge.
1t is the duty of the state to protect
this class of citizens, and strict legisla-
tion providing for examination of every
Investment concern doing business in
Iowa is necessary. Dubuque Tele-
