Statement Made By Richburg
Before National Civic Fedora
lion Conference.
(By Associated PreSs.)

Washington, d. C., Jan. ia
strong plea for harmonious incorpor-
alton legislation was made yesterday
by John c. Richberg, President of the
Illinois Commission on Uniform
State Laws and also chairman of the
committee on Uniform Incorporation
act, in an address before the National
Civic Federation Conference. He
held that the divergent laws in the
various states were no longer mere
obstacles to commercial and social de-
velopment, but actually menaced both
the business and moral growth of the
nation. In the early days of the re-
public, he said, there was no neces-
..'ty for uniform legislation among the
states and it was of little Importance

Created Artificial Person.

Under the present system, however.
each state created an artificial person
OF such strength and responsibility as
appealed to its legislature as desiratl,
or lucrative. An ordinary human cit

ings appeared as a captive in ancient
Rome equipped with short sword and
thrust into the walled arena to meet in
combat either consecutively or stimuli
taneously, gladiator; fighter armed
with net and trident, lion and a par
of selected tigers. Undoubtedly uni
formity in state law would be diff
cult to obtain, particularly by rea.
son of the varying revenues received
by the states in the form of corpora
ton fees and taxation. Yet the adop.
ton of uniform law should be striy.

broad commercial interests Of tho ma

Anxious to Find Blades.

While everybody is incensed over
the charge of whitecapping laid to
their community. questioning brought
out the admissions that Blades had
been for some time past violating
what they hold to be true neighbor-
" spirit. They admitted, in fact,
that he had been suspected of not
drawing property rights in porkers
very close, and they showed resent
ment over the fact that he had bought
up a lot of land and proceeded to
fence it in thus cutting off some con-
venient roads that had been used for
a long time by the public. They al
so claim that there have been charg-
es made against Blades before the
grand jury which are still pending
without action, and that he had been
Boosting over his supposed immuni-
ty.
There is much feeling here over the
matter and everyone is very desir-
Blades. His creditors, who are le-
gion, have swooped down upon every
thing attachable held in his name.
1t is said, by good authority, that
Blades carried away with him cover
$4,000 in cash. He raised about \A50
bales of cotton. and his logging con-
tracts ran way up in the thousands.
His credit was Al, and his detection
has been a great shock to the mer-
chants and banks that he had deal
ings with.
The whitecapping charge is openly
secuted by most of the people here,
who claim that there is WI man in
the case.

Said Mr.. Richberg in conclusion:
Where our problems are national in
necessary comprehension where state
independence means national chaos,
either the federal government as rep.
resenting The united people must act
fer the people, or the stars must join
hands. sacrifice sectional desires. in
dividual methods of business, even
perhaps climatic habits OF thought.
and adopt uniform legislation as the
medium for expressing their diverse
interests even as common language
carries the expression of their diverg-
ent thoughts"

Forty-Six States.

At present forty-six states governed
and regulated corporations when
there should be but one policy. The
speaker believed that the day would
soon come when a national incorpora-
tion law would effectively rid the
country of the incongruous and cha
otto provisions in the incorporation
laws Of the different states. But this
would not do away with state corpor.
atoms or the power of the state to
create them. The object should be to
displace diversity with uniformity.
The corporation as a citizen was. pri-
marily, the citizen Of the state of its
creation. Corporations existing sole
ly as federal creations would occupy
the anomalous position of citizens. of
the United States, but not of any sep
arate state-a position Inconsistent
with the proper application of MANY
fundamental theories of the United
States government A corporation or
ganized under the laws of state, vet
conforming to national requirements
for engaging in interstate commerce.

and held subject to the obligations Of

| KentwoOd, Jan. 19.-Feeling runs
high in the little farming community
of Lewiston, five miles west of here
because of letter published in the
Kentwood paper, the writer of which
is Morris H. Blades, whose mysteri.
Gus disappearance from his farm
three weeks ago was the subject of a
story in the Item.
Blades was big cotton raiser, own
ing 1000 acres of land, besides being
engaged in the logging business. He
was heavily in debt, having borrowed
from everybody he could reach.
His letter to the local paper was
mailed on train at some point in
Mississippi, and in it he tells a lurid
story of having been threatened with
death by a large number of white
caps, who waylaid him while on his
way home one night. He alleges that
they accused him of stealing hogs,
fencing in roads. having negroes in
the house with his family, influenc-
ing the grand jury against finding
bills against him, and many other
things. He claims that they threat
ened to burn his home and kill him if
he didn't leave, never to come back.
This letter caused a sensation and
the local editor has been called upon
by many of the prominent citizens of
Lewiston, who wished to refute the
allegation of whitecapping made by
Blades. The Item correspondent in
terviewed several of these men in an
endeavor to get at the truth of the
matter.
