Topeka, July 31.-(special) -
There is to be a general houseclean-
ling in the secretary Of states office
lnext month.
More than $4,000 delinquent corr
porations in Kansas are in danger
of losing their charters on August
20 for failure to comply with the law
lby filing their annual statements with
the secretary Of state, OF this num-
lber SO are Dickinson county cor
porations,
Many OF these concerns are dead
and gone already But there are q
few still doing business in total dis
regard Of the law which requires
them to file such reports showing
their financial condition. This class
must either fish or cut bait and do
lit mighty quickly.
In order to clean up the state rec
lords and enable the corporation de-
Ipartment to have a complete list Of
Iall active corporations, the legislature
last winter passed law to wipe out
lall corporations which had been de-
Ilinquent in filing such reports dur
ling the past three years. The time
| limit is up on August 20. Those who
fail to get their reports in by that
time will be declared dead, by action
Of law,
While the law doesn't require 1t
Secretary of State Sessions is taking
every means he can to advise the
delinquent corporations of the fate
that soon awaits them If they longer
persist in violating the law.
In making up the list it is barely
possible that now and then a cor
poration may be included which mas
reported. In handling over e5,O0e
Icharters in limited time an oeca
lsional error necessarily @ill creep
lin. However It will be caught In
the final check up and the law abidt
ling corporation will have its char
tier protected.
Following are the corporations In
dickinson county slated to be legally
slaughtered on August 20 for not
filling such reports during the past
three years:
