A suit by the state OF Iowa to re-
cover $4,000 from the Centerville
Light and Traction Company will be
begun at Centerville today by Attor-
ney General H. w. Byers. who will be
assisted by County Attorney Tom M.
Fee.
The state seeks to recover this sum
as a penalty against the street car
and lighting company for not filing it's
articles of incorporation in Iowa. It is
a Maine corporation n did not file
it's articles in the office of the secre-
tary of state.
The company was organized in May,
1905, and a penalty of 500 a day at
taches fer failure to comply with the
law and file the articles with the sec
rotary of state.

Mr.. Payne was a member Of
.Clle leSlSldluFe III tAe MUSE III IAS
Twenty-eight and Twenty-ninth gen
eral assemblies. It's capital is $780,
900. Its. organization resulted in the
absorption of all of the public utility
properties of this city. The public op-
crates the, street car line, furnishes
electric and gas lights, supplies heat
and sells power.
It's defense against the suit of the
state will be hat it is a manufacture
ing plant. Under the law corporations
engaged i'll manufacturing and mercan-
tile business are exempt from filing
their articles in this state. The articles
of the local company are a not to
contain any provision or allusion rela-
tive to engagement in manufacture
ing.
This is the first Of q series Of sim
liar suits which the office of the attor-
ney general is planning to bring, as
outlined recently. The papers We're sent
to Centerville yesterday, and the coun-
ty attorney there, a son Of Judge T. NJ.
Fee, will assist the legal department of
the state in carrying on the case.
1t is understood that other similar
suits Will be begun by the attorney
general soon, and will follow along for
some time. as there are a large num-
Der of corporations which are in the
same situation as that at Centervflle.
