REGULATING CORPORATIONS

Very few subjects invite new 1egis-
lation. and the amendment OF old stat
utes like the question Of the proper
regulation and control, direct and indt-l
rect, OF corporations, foreign and do
nestle.
The new Constitution. by creating
the State Corporation Commission. with
Its extensive Jurisdiction In these mat
tiers, did much to relieve the Legisla-
t,ire OF work of this kind that formerly
devolved upon 1t. But the idea of corr
porate CONTROL both State and national,
has grown greatly recently, SO that 1t
finds expression In more various forms
from year to year. Moreover. the cor
porations of Virginia are multiplying.
both in kind and number and suggest
now statutes every session. Below Will
be found condensed statements OF some
OF the more important attempts to
change the laws governing corpora
tions, and others will be considered
later:
Delegate Featherston has presented
la bill providing that whenever any
person shall sustain damage from fire
occasioned by sparks or Goals dropped
or thrown from the engine or train
! of any railroad company, such COM
pany shall be liable for the damage so
sustained, whether the fire originates
on the company's right OF way or. not.
Delegate Churchman has bill to
authorize any railway company, with
,the consent of the State Corporation
Commission. to construct, purchase or
take q lease Of any railroad, not ey
ceeding twenty-five miles In length,
which will furnish q cutoff or con
meeting line between two points on It's
own line.
Delegate snead has presented bill
| to require all electric trains. whose
lines are distance of fifteen miles or
more from any town, city or terminus.
