LAWS OF STATE
Statutes Affecting Organizations Of
Capital Are Unfavorabie Thinks
Secretary Power.
Special to The News.

Special to The News.
Jackson, Nov. Gothic biennial re-
port of Secretary Of State J. w.
Power for the two years ending Sept.
80, will show a marked decrease m
the aggregate amount of capital stock
of new corporations formed during
that time.
This is attributable, he thinks, to at
least two logical causes and does not
at all indicate that there is actually
being less money invested or that
there is less manufacturing in prog
ress.
1t does mean that the corporation
laws of the state are not what they
should be, are unfavorable to the en-
couragement of new industries, and
that many people who are investing
money are not putting it into corpor-
ations. Furthermore, large number
of those already Incorporated are be-
ginning to take the preliminary steps
to dissolve and surrender their char
ters, after which they will conduct
their business as a private enterprise
rather than under so-called state pro-
lection.
Another thing that accounts in a
large measure for the small amount
of invested capital is the fact that
taxes are assessed on the capital
stock of all corporations, and many
promoters have learned that they may
incorporate for a much less capital
stock than is really necessary, and
take chances on the assessors and rev.
enue agents overlooking the decep-
ton. The federal corporation tax,
too, will be felt in the same way.
