HAYWARD EXPLAINS
FILING FEE LAW
Says Only the Corporations Whose
Articles Restrict Them to Mercan-
tile Business Are Exempt.

In a recent letter Secretary of State
Hayward gives his Interpretation OF
the Iowa corporation law as it relates
to the filing fees to be paid by foreign
corporations.
In his letter he says:
"The law in regard to foreign cor
porations was enacted by the Twenty
First general assembly and went into
effect September /, 1886. Some
changes were made in this law when
the code was revised in 1897 The
most important change was made by
the insertion of a paragraph providing
that any corporation transacting
business in this state prior to the
first day of September, 1886, shall be
exempt from the payment of the fees
required under the provisions of this
section.
Secretary Hayward then quotes the

law as it read following the revision
of 1897. Section 1857 says that any
corporation for pecuniary profit other
than for carrying on mercantile or
manufacturing business, oganized un-
der the laws of another state, shall
be exempt from the payment of the
fees required
Explaining this. Secretary Hayward
says;
This seemingly exempted mercan-
tile and manufacturing companies
from filing articles and paying any
fees; but it was held that the exemp-
ton applied only to those corporations
whose articles restricted them to
manufacturing and mercantile lines of
business; that those companies whose
articles provided for their engaging in
other lines of business, must. if they
desired to do business in Iowa. file
a certified copy of their articles and
pay the fee required of local corpora
lions. This Interpretation of the law
was based on decision of the su-
preme court of The United States.

Not New Burden.

"The statement that the last general
assembly enacted law placing a new
burden upon foreign corporations de-
string to do business in Iowa is err
roneous All it did was to slightly
change the law SO it would clearly
express the meaning given the old law
by the highest court in the land. The
law as it now stands is ~. effect exac.,
ly the same as it has been for long
time.
The penalty clause of the law in
reference to foreign corporations is
drastic. 1t is found in section 1883
of the code, and has been in force for
good many years. In substance it
provides for penalty of $500 day
for each and every day that business
in carried on in the state without a
permit, and officers, agents or EN-

started. at least three big removals

or more feet of water after the dam
has been built The X line railroad
/ from Keokuk north, must also pull up
its tracks and relay them higher up
along the bluff.
The railroad is all prepared for its
work, having some time ago made a
| survey for it's new line along the
bluff and is probably ready to start
work today if necessary to make the
change. AS there is thirty months
yet, the work will likely not be un-
! dertaken for some time to come.
The Ellsworth factory must be
removed. The question of removing
has never been seriously considered
by that factory on account of the I'M
certainty of the water power coming,
but now LndL II is dSSuFSu, the IuditSl
will be taken up at once and plans
made for the removal of the factory
from its present site.
The electric light plant will prob.
ably have an easier job in removing
than one would first suppose. This
company can secure its power in the
future from the water power dam and
would therefore not require as big q
plant as it now maintains. For this
reason. arrangements can probably
be made very easily for the company
to move it's switch boards and Other
apparatus to some other location
Probably next summer the railroad
, work will commence and plans made
bv others along the canal for getting
, out of the territory which will be

players haven't brains enough to conceal
their system of signals they deserve TO be
the victims OF the so-called buzzer. When

than one set OF signals for our own use
and were compelled to shift more than
once as a matter of protection.

effort to get onto the signals, and it's the
same in other sports that require GER

In 1t at all and have been amused at the

Suppose the batsman by mistake re-
