GREAT NORTHERN
ISSUE [NJO|N[D
New seo,ooo,ooo Stock Issue
Must Be Approved By
Commission
BIG VICTORY FOR THE STATE.
According to the Decision, the Law Res
quirins Application to the State
Railway Commission, and Showing
of Necessity for Increase in Stock,
is Held to be Constitutional.

ST Paul, Jan, 23-In the county dis
trict court today, Judge Hallam signed
an order enjoining the officials of the
Great Northern Railway Company
from making the proposed increase OF
$6O,000,000 worth of additional stock
in that company, or issuing the same
or part thereof, during the pending lit
igation, without first making applica-
ton in writing therefor to the Minne-
sofa railroad and warehouse commits
sion, and securing it's approval thereof
as provided by the revised laws Of the
state.
This Is a complete victory for the
state, in the action brought last month
by Attorney General Young, to com-
pei that railroad to recognize the state
commission before issuing stock, as the
laws provide that before a railroad can
issue an increase of its capital stock
it must make application to the state
railway commission, and make show.
ing of the necessity for such issue.
The Great Northern claimed that ;un-
der its original charter it could issue
stock at will, and that the law grant
ing this power to the railway and
warehouse commission is unconstitu-
tional The court holds that that il
not the case.
Other Issues Illegal.
The judge comedies that under the
general laws of the state the defendants
company may lawfully increase its
stock, subject, however. to the regula-
tion that it make application In writ
Ing to the railroad commission for au-
thority to do SO. The court refused:
to sustain the contentious Of defend-
the act, and sustained every pa llf
made by the state. There wep no
questions of fact before the court for
the jury to determine, they being ad-i
mitted and while technically there
should be further trial on the hearing
for an order making the injunction
permanent it is thought by the attor-
ney generals department that the next
move will be an appeal to the supreme
court to determine the Constitutional
ity of the law and the correctness OF
Hallam's ruling, Assistant Attorney
General Stone said the decision was
one of utmost Importance and that
practically the issues of stock of about
thirty million dollars as warranted by
the original charter of the Great Nor
thern were without legal effect.

VANDIVER SUBMITS REPORT
Declares State Fair May Secure

Better Train Service to and From Mont
gomery During Fair Week Is
Promised by Railroads-Im-
provements to BE Made.

At a special meeting of the stock
holders of the Alabama Agricultural
Association yesterday, a bond issue of
$4,000. based upon mortgage on the
property of the Fair Association, was
authorized.
The incumbrance Is to run for a pc
riod of fifteen years, and Is to bear in
terest at the rate of per cent. The
Fair Association reserves the right, at
any time after five years, to retire the
bonds at a valuation of los.
There was a good majority of the
stock of the Association represented,
and there was no opposition to the pro-
posed bond issue. That was the only
business considered by the meeting,
aside from the submission of report
of the affairs of the Association by
President Vandiver, covering the entire
period since the organization of the As
ISOLATION.
There seems no question but that the
proposed bond issue can be easily dis
posed of, as the proposition is an at
tractive one to investors. The land
upon which the buildings of the Fair
Associations are constructed was pur-
chased at a cost of $17,S29, and 1t was
estimated by President Vandiver in his
report that the extensive gravel pits
that have been discovered on the land
since it's purchase are worth, at a con-
sentative estimate. five times the orig
inal cost of the property.
The total investment in the grounds
at the present time was reported to be
$S5,042.47.
The bond issue has been arranged in
order to pay some of the expenses of
construction of the buildings which
were not covered by the original sale
Of stock, as well as to provide for the
erection of some additional buildings
that were shown to be necessary by the
great influx of animals to the EXPOSE
ton last fall.
In his report to the stockholders,
President Vandiver reviewed the work
of the Association from its incipiency.
He called attention to the advisability
of issuing the proposed bonds. and
then branched off upon other features
OF the Fair Associations activities.
