Troy's Statement

MT Troy's statement is as follows:
 .I feel that gross injustice has been done me- as well as the governor, in the article in The Age-Herald of Sunday. Not only is the imputation given that | received 'exorbitant' fees from the state, which, of course, the governor must have authorized, but the entire results to the state of the governors action in em- ploying me are completely ignored
 Tt appears to me distinctly unfair that 1 should be blazoned forth in the most important column of The Age Herald as mere recipient or large and, if the natural meaning of the article is considered perhaps unearned fees from the state, when one of the direct results so far of the governors of me has been the receipt by the state of thousands of dollars in cash practically all of which was so much found money
 T ask nothing of The Age-Herald or of the people of Alabama but fair ness-fairness to the governor in in- itiating the work in which he employed me- and fairness to myself in doing IL.
 "'rhe constitutions of 1875 and 1901 both provided that no foreign corporation should do business in the state without having a known place of business and an agent thereat. The legisla-
 
 this provision, passed an act putting civil penalty of 5000 on each and every act of business of foreign corporation done in Alabama without the prior regis tration of place of business and an au- thorized agent. This act made it the duty of the solicitors to enforce the law and fixed their compensation for collect ing these penalties at 20 per cent. The ob ject of the constitutional and statutory provisions was to insure that foreign cor porations doing business here could be sued here and not sought out in their home states every time a citizen of Ala bama had a cause of action.
 The constitution of 1901 took away the 25 per cent commission to the solic- itors, and as the duties of the attorney general in regard to this statute were in it expressly limited to representing the state in the supreme court on ap- peal in these penalty cases, the statute was entirely neglected from 1901 until the present administration
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-16
Ran Into Hundreds

The number of foreign corporations doing business in Alabama in various conditions of disregard of the law ran into hundreds many of them entirely escaping taxation. Early in 1911, the governor instructed the attorney gener- al to write to each solicitor of the state and call his attention to~ these conditions and insist upon an active enforcement of the statute. The duties of the attorney general in the enforce ment of this statute were limitd to rep resenting the state in the supreme court and the solicitors were the officers spe- eiiieally provided by the legislature to bring the penalty suits.
 After nine or ten months time 1t de- veloped that only in the counties of Mo hile and Montgomery had any action been taken by the solicitors. In these counties the solicitors of which had been as active as their other duties permitted, several suits had been commenced. On Deeem- Der 27, 1911 the governor employed me. as special counsel, for the specific purpose of rehabiitating this statute. It was man ifestly impossible and negotiable to in- sist upon the full amount due the state hy these delinquent corpora tions, as 1t would in many instances have resulted in confiscation of all of their property Ii. therefore, became necessary that these claims of the state be adjusted upon a basis sufficiently reasonable and fair to the corporation and consistent with the purpose of the administration that the law be respected.
 This could only be done by the sub mission of each case to the state board of compromise As the attorney general is ex-offlcio d member of this board, 1t was clearly improper that he shoulI act both as prosecuting officer and trial court in these adjustments even had the statute not expressly limited his activity in these matters or the great number oi cases involved permitted him to under take them in connection with the other duties of his office.
