Paid Under Protest.

The Southern Cotton Oil Company. which paid it's fees under the Wingo act to the secretary of state recently, did so under protest, claiming Shat it should not be required to pay fees on the basis of it's capital stock, but only on the amount of capital employ ed and used in the state of Arkansas. This company has an actual capital of $10,000,000, with an authorized cap ital of $11,000.0n0. It claims to have employed in Arkansas capital to the amount of S299 ,653, and if required to pay on this amount of stock it's fees would be only $125, whereas it was $2,800, the payment of which was ac companied by a protest. While the company believes this fee cannot bo legally collected, it paid the sum de- manded by the secretary of state, but giving no intimation that it would con- test the legality of the act. The Con- solidated Handle Company, a Dele ware corporation, was of the same opinion, but instead of paying the fees, under protest, filed a certificate with the secretary of state notifying that official that it had withdrawn from Arkansas. In a letter to the secretary of state, the company states that it paid $275 at the beginning of the year for the privilege of operating small mill in Arkansas, and that this repre- sentsd one-hundredth of it's total busi- ress. On account of the small inter- est of the company in the state, it preferred to cease doing business in Arkansas
