MINIMUM FINES
 FOR CORPORATIONS
Attorney General Norwood Rules That Ignorance of Law Cannot Excuse Violation-Maximum Fines
 $2OO.00O.

Little Rock, July 25.-Because they operated in Arkansas from October "90S, to February 13, 1909, without having compiled with the provisions of the Wingo law requiring the payment of cer- tain corporation fees, the Atlas .Ol Company and the American Llnseed Oil Company are subject to total penalties amounting to more than S2O0, ,000, according to an opinion just rendered by At torney General Norwood, in re- ply to communication from Prosecuting Attorney Roy Camp bell, relative to the two comps nies.
 More than this, the attorney general holds that ignorance of the law does not excuse a corpor. ation any more than it excuses an individual. Prosecuting Attor- torney Campbell called attention to the fact that the companies had evidently been operating without any intention to violate the law, being ignorant of the existence of such statute at the time they entered the state last fall.
 This fact, says MT. Norwood, can not act as a bar to prosecu. tion. The burden of knowledge of the law rests with the corpora tiou, and failure to comply with statutory provisions subjects the offender to penalty, without re. gard to intent, he declares.
 However, he concludes, the lack or intent to violate the law may serve to mitigate the penalty.
 While. according to the attor- ney generals construction of the law, the companies would each be subject to a fine of $l,000 a day for each day the law was vio' lated, making a total of more than $200, 900 as possible fine, it is probable that, owing to the evident lack of any intention tc violate the law, Prosecuting At torney Campbell wM let the com. panies off with the minimum ol Sl ,000 each. He stated last night that he would probably follow this course, as he is satisfied iron the facts in tue case that neither company intended to evade the law.
