The discussion at the MONDAY meet
ing of the Improvement Association
Tuesday was upon the question of the
need of state legislation forbidding the
sale of stocks or shares in corporations
of any kind until the sanction of the
state had been given through either the
banking department or the state rail
road commission. Legislation of this
kind was recommended by Gov. Osborn
in his first message to the legislature
and the hope was expressed that If a
special session of the legislature was
called in the fall that Gov. Osborn
could renew his recommendation with
the same vigor he has exerted for other
needed legislation recently. 1t is prob
able that committee from the asso-
citation will visit Lansing shortly to
discuss this matter with Gov. Osborn.
