SUPERVISION
 THEIR OBJECT
Corporation Commission Has Legislation Rel ative to Building
 Loan Companies
QUESTION WONT DOWN

REVIEW BUREAU. Room , West ern Union Building Phoenix. April -Members of the corporation com mission, lt is understood, framing re quests for legislation which will be of special interest to building and loan associations and bankers. Under a ruling of the former attorney general. il Is said that no statement of the in- come, sottgo. investments and loans have nOt been made the subject of governmental supervision The sec tion number l36 of the class of laws affecting building and loan companies contained the qualifying clause. Do, ing .bussSess as a banker" One of the members of the present corporation commission said that under the ruling of the former attorney general it was held that building and loan companies were not within this classification, hence no reports were received by the territorial auditor.
 It is planned to change all of this. New legislation will be asked, reQuir. ing the examination at once of all of these companies; further examination at least every four months; and care fuI scrutiny of all investments and se Curities will be made.
 It is said that if companies of this class are not thoroughly sound quo warranto proceedings will be asked from the attorney general for their dissolution.
 constitutionality Questioned
 There is also a strong uhder-cur. rent Of gossip and amusement among the well informed of the legal frater. nity at the capital. over the probable outcome of the legislation urged by the same corporation commission, and fathered by Attorney General Bull lard. which is intended to tame all the foreign corporations now doing business on the state, by limiting their legal remedies, regardless Of the nature of their business, to state courts for action or redress. With a flourish Of trumpets, 1t was "discov- cred" that a Kentucky law" had pass cd muster with the supreme court of the United States, which upheld this action. A bill following that measure was introduced into both houses. Now while the bills are in their regular course of routine. the statement is made that other numerous and latei decisions Of the same body negative this principle The query is made, among people holding to this belief, if the corporation commission and it's friends are joking with the legisla- ture. or if the attorney general is not informed of the decisions which sup ervene the one he relies on as pre- cedent.
 The public defender bill, introduced by Senator Hughes. meets the appro- val of the administration lineup. Ill makes possible more patronage lB each county, gives some aspiring ora tor a job at the expense of the tax payers, instead of taking chances for
