Reissue Of Stock
The next query:
els it necessary that stock issued
prior to April Is, 1909, be stamped or
designated treasury or promotion
stock when the certificates are subse-
quently surrendered for transfer or to
be 'cut up into smaller blocksi"
The language of Section 6 of the act
is as follows:
"From and after April Is, 1909, it
shall be unlawful for any corporation,
or any officer, agent or director thereof,
owning---- or developing any min
ing property in this state, to issue any
written or printed certificate represent
ing one or more shares of its stock
---- upon which certificate is not
stamped or printed the words Treasury
Stock etc.
The act prohibits the issuance of cer-
tificates unless such certificates are
stamped or otherwise designated as
therein required. To tissue" as de-
fined by photographers, signifies to send
out; to put into circulation.
Instead of the word Certificate if
the word "shares' or stock had
been used then this section would not
require certificates representing stock
heretofore "issued" when presented
for transfer to be so marked, but the
legislature has ex industrial used the
word certificate and has not recog-
rized the inconvenience or hardship
that may be incurred by some corpora
lions in aseertaining the character of
early issues of stock in order that when
such certificates are surrendered for
transfer after April Is, 1909, before
new ones are "issued' they may be
properly marked; however, am of the
opinion that such is the case, as the
statute in direct terms prohibits the Is
suance Of certificates representing one
or more shares of stock in mining cor
porations "owning, leasing, working or
developing mining property within
this state and selling or offering for
sale any of it's stock or shares therein,
unless such certificates designate the
class of stock they represent as defined
by said act. Yours truly,
r. C. STODDARD,
Attorney General.

SEVERE DROUTH
No Rain in Four Weeks-Cotton Bene
fitted.

A special from Homer to the Times
Democrat states that that immediate
vicinity is in the midst of drouth. No
rain has fallen there in four weeks or
more, and during the greater part of
the time the heat has been intense.
There is not the slightest prospect of
rain soon and the scorching htat con-
tinues unabated. There is no doubt that
the weather has been favorable to cot
ton, as the boil weevil have been
checked and many destroyed. The cot
ton crop, or partial crop, raised there
will be due largely to the timely dry
| hot weather, unless it continues toe
long. Early corn is practically made
and can not be affected by the drouth
| but late corn is suffering considerably
while gardens and other crops, plantec
to take the place of cotton this year
are literally burning up.

gHR PARDON BOARD
A Strong Criticism by a Citizen of
Vermilion Parish.
Gpeydan, La, July ID, 1900

Gpeydan, La, July ID, 1909.
Editor Caucasian: AS an able advo-
cate of all measures calculated to pro-
mote the best interests and moral wei
fare of the people of this State AMI as
an uncompromising and outspoken enc
my of all those forces which insidious,
ly seek to destroy and pervert law and
order, your paper has justly earned a
wide 6eputation.
1t is with this fact before me that I
crave your attention and point out an
evil which is rapidly becoming men
ace to society The Pardon Board and
the Governor are working overtime in
their laudable CD endeavors to empty
the jails and penitentiary. While Gov
ernor Sanders is on a transforming
tour of North Louisiana handing out
the good roads DOPE" he imagines the
prohibitionists of that section will be
satisfied with his profuse protestations
- high regard for all reform measures.
One little case in this parish, alas,
shows how the willy J. Y. really stands.
A druggist of this parish was convicted
I of running blind tiger, and sentenced
to three months in Jail and to pay fine
of $500 The whiskey people got busy
with the politicians, and the Board of
Tardons with undignifed and indecent
haste and actually recommended the
mans pardon before he had undergone
days punishment, and the Governor
speedily yielded his approval.
The cry that prohibition does not
prohibit" is a stock argument of Its
enemies, and every man who contributes
toward bringing about that condition OF
affairs is an enemy of prohibition. 1t il
with prohibition as with any other law.
If the Judges and officers do their duty
and execute the law, it can be enforced
But if the politicians on the Pardon
Board and the Governor are going to
nullify it by pardoning out of hand men
convicted of violating the prohibition
law, why then the law is a farce, and
its enforcement a hollow sham anc
mockery.
Governo8 Sanders can not escape re
sponsibility for thus seeking to destroy
the beneficial effects of prohibition b.
taking refuge behind the Board of Par
dons. The people of Louisiana well re
member when Governor Heard refused
to sanction the recommendation of th'
Board of Pardons for Communication o
sentence in the famous Batson case, anc
all law-abiding people applauded hi
action.
| The people of Vermilion parish hav
declared for prohibition by a very de
cided majority They have distric
Judge and district attorney who ar
able to enforce the law, and it is rathe
disheartening to know that the Gov
ernor has seen fit to step in and suspend
the law in the case of its first violator
; He is preaching Good Roads. /" H
should change his text to Good Law
and How HelRadestroy Them.

COMBATANTS ENGAGE
IN WORDY DISPUTE
VICTIM OF ASSAULT SEEKS
COMPLAINT
Two 5elIigerents Appear at District
Attorneys Office and Their
Attitude Causes Their
Election

While DIR. N. mcfarland of 1894
South Park avenue and George r. Gil
more OF 6O7 East Fifty-fourth street
explained to Deputy District Attorney
Alexander how Gilmore, who declared
he was struck on the head by a frying
pan by Mcfarland, happened to get a
cut on his head the two men became
involved in a dispute and almost came
to blows. They were hustled out of the
office and the complaint was denied.
According to the district attorney,
Gilmore appeared with his head BAN
daged and asked for a complaint
against mcfarland, charging him with
battery.
Gilmores story is to the effect he
lives with his mother and that Mac
Farland lives across the alley from tho
Gilmore home. Yesterday morning,
Gilmore said, he was awakened by
hearing violent language coming from
the home of Macfarland, and he heard
the latter make ugly remarks about
the Gilmore family in general and
about himself in particular.
He said he went to the rear door OF
the Macfarland home to ask the ply
stefan to stop using such language and
was attacked by Macfarland and
struck on on the head with a frying
pan.

PROTEST MADE AGAINST
DEAD ANIMAL CONTRACT
Residents of Sixth Ward Appear at
Council Meeting and Demand
Conditions Be Changed

With Councilman Wallace demanding
some immediate action on the matter
of garbage and dead animal disposal
the council awoke to a sense OF It's
duty yesterday and agreed to take
up these two matters at its meeting
next Tuesday 1t was reported that
Assistant City Attorney Shenk is draw
ing UP some specifications which prob
ably will meet the approval OF all
members of the council.
Residents of the Sixth ward again
appeared before the council yesterday
to protest against the horrible condi-
ton of affairs just over the ward line
in the township of Vernon. 1t was
stated the fertilizer works at Thirty
eighth and Santa Fe are a menace to
the health of the community and that
hog pens are maintained in Vernon,
near the Los Angeles limits, some of
which contain 800 hogs.
The dead animals of Los Angeles and
the garbage of Los Angeles make these
conditions possible, according to the
statements of the protestants. They
asked that when the garbage and dead
animal contracts are awarded a clause
be inserted in the contracts prohibiting
the disposal of garbage and fertilizer
material within five miles of the city
limits.
Councilmen Wallace and Yonkin as
sured the protestants that this matter
would be considered and no contract
would be let that would annoy any
section of the city. The other members
of the council appear to be of the same
opinion.
