SUPREME COURT
REVERSES ITSELF
Affirms Judgment Of Lower Court
In Case Of Booth & Co. VS..
G. N. Wiegand.
RIGHTS OF FOREIGN CONCERNS
State Should See that They Comply
With the Statutcs--Chief JUS
ticc Dlsscnts.

A second opinion has been rendered
by the supreme court in the case of a.
Booth & Co. VS. G. NJ. Wiegand. appel
liant. In which the former opinion OF the
court Is reversed. In the first opinion
by the supreme court. which was rem
dered more than year ago, the judy
ment OF the lower court was reversed
and II was held that foreign corpora
ton which had not complied with the
laws OF this state In regard TO Ming
its articles here. was without the pro-
lection Of the courts OF the state and
hence had no capacity to sue. A re-
hearing OF the case was granted by the
supreme court and the court now re.
verses itself and holds that 1t Is the
duty or the state officials 10 see that
foreign corporations comply with the
statutes of the state and that private
citizens cannot reap the BENEFITS or
Noncompliance on the part OF the cor
pofation.
The plaintiff sued to recover for
merchandise sold to defendant and Sc
cured a judgment In the lower court
against him. He appealed to the su-
preme court and raised the point that
the company. being foreign corpora
ton and not having compiled with the
laws OF the state. had no capacity TO
sue. The supreme court at that time
was composed OF Justices Baskin.
Bartch and McCarty. The court then
sustained the point raised by appellant
and reversed the Judgment OF the low
er court. Justice McCerty dissented
from the opinion Of the other two JUS
tees
After Justice Baskin retired and was
succeeded by Justice Straup. a re-hear-
Ing was granted In the case and the
court now reverses it's former opinion
and holds that the legislature did not
intend that It's statute on The subject
should render void contracts OF the
character involved In this case. and
that the enforcement OF the statute re.
curing foreign corporations to com
ply with the laws is the duty OF the
state officers and private citizens can
not take to themselves the benefits Of
nom compliance on the part of the cor
poratlon. The judgment of the lower
court Is accordingly affirmed. Justice
Straup wrote the opinion OF the court
which was concurred In by Justice
McCarty and dissented from by Chief
