poration Law.
Des Moines. -Secretary Of State
Hayward is going to compel the for
eign corporations, doing business in
Iowa without having filed their ar
ticles and paid the filing fee to come
across" even If 1t is necessary to in
woke the power of the department of
justice.
The last legislature SO amended
the foreign corporations law that
these concerns no longer have any
excuse for refusing to file their ar
ticles in this state and pay the fee.
Under the old law they we're COM
PEELED to pay a fee based on the en-
tire capital stock of the company, no
matter where that capital stock was
employed.
Under the amendment made by the
last legislature they pay filing fee
on only the actual amount of capital
which is in use in Iowa.
Several big concerns persistently
refused to pay the fee under the old
law. The Santa Fe Railroad COM
pany, which has but 26 miles of line
in the state, thought 1t unjust to be
compelled to pay a filing fee on its
entire capital stock. Had the law
been enforced the company would
have paid a 100000 fee. The West
ern Union Telegraph company is al
SO an outlaw corporation so far as
Iowa is concerned. Its articles have
never been filed and 1t has paid no
filing fee. 1t must now file its arti-
cles and pay the fee on its capital
stock actually in use in the state.
If not it will be up to the department
of justice to enforce the law.

centers in the eastern part of the
state. Manufacturing establishments

On looking over the weighing de-
vices at the Gibson mine. west Of
Waveland park, State Mine Inspector
Ed Sweeney found they were In bad
condition and weighing far too light
ly. 1t was because of this reason
that the 200 miners walked out. The

pounds on each ton. They declare
they will not return to work until
